we want super advanced and powerful mobility at the cost of our primary weapon that can be utilized in real games for paratrooper shotgun shenanigans that are viable, interesting and fun. It's a good unlock because it provokes a very different and new playstyle that might even aid in letting new players not only learn to rocket jump efficiently, but even improve and learn to rely on their shotgun; a very powerful weapon that is sadly underutilized by most pubs.

Bumped again. Is there any reason, any reason at all, why it can't be fixed like the Sticky Jumper? (No, I'm not counting people who are butthurt because pro Soldiers can use this to "fly").

[alpha00zero]

No, there is no reason for not getting fixed. It's just laziness I guess.

Or they keep forgetting about fixing it.

In the meantime, Bump!

Eh, I use my regular Rocket Launcher, but it'd be nice to be able to mess around with the RJ and not worry about a Sniper bodyshot.

[Vixori]

Why would you use the Rocket Jumper?

Rocket Jumper
Mantreads
Market Gardener

The Blindfolded Trolldier ftw

Oh, also a skin for it like the StickyJumper would be nice, maybe even reskin the rockets if they seriously want to overwork themselves :P

Mobility. Ferocious mobility + shotgun = alternate albeit fun way to Soldier.

They can swipe the numerous skins that have been put up on the workshop if they really need to and don't want to put time into creating new skins themselves.

[Esoteric_Irony]

Yeah the skins would be nice.
Also, even if people are worried about "Overpowered 200hp shotgun jumper soldier" they could always just merge the Rocketjumper with the Mantreads/other secondaries (or even gunboats for lols) for a set bonus or something, the bonus being no more 100% vulnerability.

If they were worried about that, they'd also have shown concern with "Overpowered 175hp grenade lobbing aeroman".
