Awww come here Smudge. Group hug everyone.
Likul scouts winding Smudgey up.
Channel the anger with me mate. We'll destroy every last one of them tonight, as long as they're blue.
I'd suggest getting more practice in with the Solider then if you like wandering off on you own, since there is no class more powerful to play solo. Sure you may not be great with it at the moment, but as with most things, time will cure that. Plus it is perhaps the most fun class to play once you get good at it. There's just so much variance to the play, and always something to learn no matter how good you are.
I believe a scout shouldn't be allowed to take the intel under the influence of Bonk.
The last tactic you mentioned though sounds very viable, and should be almost as useful.
A scout under bonk drawing sentry fire is like a mini uber ! You want him to be able to take the intel aswell ??
he really should be able to take the intel because the tactic mentioned doesnt really work well. BONK doesnt last long enough and is nothing compared to an uber.
and as i mentioned taking the intel would bringt much more depth and variety to the fight as you cant "only" trust your engis but having to defend the intel on the whole map.
getting the intel out of the room doesnt make it OP since everyone would know that scout was capable of that, thus killing him when the effect wears off. so it wouldve been a peeeeerfect new game dynamic... but... they didnt do it which makes me angry every time thinking of the great games i would have had.

I disagree.
A scout running in with bonk and getting the intel through a sentry farm doesn't require much teamwork.
Whereas a scout running in with bonk and distracting the sentries for someone else to take em down requires a bit more.
I am surprised some of you actually want the scout to be able to pick up the intel under the influence of bonk.
Ya never know. They might change it so that it's possible, but I seriously doubt it. Doesn't promote teamwork as much as not allowing the intel to be picked up ?
Only an uber can do a similar thing.
i totally agree with you about the teamwork thing. but:
no teamwork is needed to protect the intel right now, only engis are needed to protect "normal" pushes (not ubers). if a scout could catch the intel the damn whole team would be forced to defend the intel all over the map and not just the engis. they would need to recapture it while getting theirs. its almost like the "double-payload-map" where you must capture and defend as well. right now engis are turtleing in the intel room and thats it. scout would break that up.
If you're playing a mix with me later Smudgey, there won't be any wandering off on your own sunshine !
Ooh no.
Ye I played a game early afternoon. Don't worry I dont do stupid tactics like that on there lol. Good fun though. Unfortunately I was medic which is a fairly stressful job lol.
Yes bugger having the scout pick up the intelligence, it would be way too easy. You could just drag it out pass it to another scout who uses bonk etc etc... exceedingly overpowered. There are uses out there! You just have to find them. Try running past a sentry and capping a point....

Ah im afraid this is rather unlikely. My aim is too poor for those sort of classes, always has been. Used to play TFC for about 7 years. Was still rubbish with soldier then.
I still think heavy used to be amazing on his own. You could just sneak round and flank everyone. It works wonders in arena thats for sure. Ive even managed to ninja cap as a heavy before on dustbowl stage one. Now that was fun. Fat chance it would work now though, just one ball and bang oh I cant do anything.
But anyway im going to contradict myself and say yes I will start playing soldier more now. Heavy is definately impossible, so not much point. Pyro is useless (sorry) so probably best option.
