Opinion on Backscratcher?

Diagnosis- Annoying. At least wen ur a medic and Pyros are yelling MEDIC! expecting to get healed normally but no. I personally don't like this weapon, I find it troublesome.

If I start healing a pyro with that thing equipped, I will drop his ass so fast, his pants will break the sound barrier.

I don't have TIME to fuss over his little 2hp/s health regeneration while his teammates are DYING all around him, and I'd appreciate not being treated like some second-rate backup plan to map-spawned health packs by someone who's supposed to be working with me as a team.

If you want to be a demoknight, be a damn demoknight; don't waste my time, take up your teammates' healing, and insult my competence trying to be the 10th class you aren't.

Backscratchaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Can be helpful for building uber after you've healed everyone else around you; but really only a weapon to equip if your team has no medic.

if you have more than 5 other players on your team, you can stay at the max ubercharge rate pretty easily without the backscratcher.

I don't know how people fail to realize what seems to me is the obvious way the backscratcher needs to be used. I'll make a short class to explain what is this "obvious way to use a Backscratcher".

Backburner/Backscratcher. Does anyone else actually sees the similarity between these names? I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence if the Backscratcher is named like that.

Backscratchers are a vital tool for Backburner Pyros since it allows them to heal properly while they are behind enemy lines (where a good Backburner Pyro should be and remain until he dies at my opinion). Backburner Pyros don't normally see their team's Medic and the team's Medic is a COMPLETE RETARD if he follows the Backburner Pyro alone behind a group of 10+ enemies. Medics just have to ignore Backscratcher Pyros since they should have top priority immediatly after the Medic to pick up healing items on the ground. Overhealing a Backburner Pyro is pretty useless as well since it'll take the Pyro some time to reach his ambushing spot and to fight (the overheal is gone before the Pyro has a chance to fight).

Just don't heal Backscratcher Pyros if you are a Medic. As a Backscratcher Pyro at my times, I swear I rage when a Medic just starts following me around since I'm mostly incapacitated by the fact I need to protect him while he is unable to even heal me properly when I have to fight.

Backscratcher Pyros are lone wolves. Let them die alone if that's their choice.

The least they could do is let their Medics know before-round that they have the rake equipped so that we don't waste precious time in the middle of a battle healing them until we figure it out.
