[Suggestion] Market gardener

[Emalco22]

The Market gardener
Level 1~100 Weapon
Deals crits while the wielder is rocket jumping and 0.5 seconds after landing
+50% faster weapon switch while rocket jumping
No random critical hits
Deals 35% less damage if the wielder is not rocket jumping
15% slower weapon switch while not being rocket jumping

So, this would make this weapon almost useless for normal combat, dealing around 40 damage a normal hit. This would also encourage to use the set (Liberty launcher, reserve shooter, market gardener) because with it the weapon switch time would be the normal. It would switch weapons almost as fast as the degreaser, for better rocket jump kills. If using rocket launcher-shotgun, you would have a penalty there if you just use it for the buff

Soldier does not need degreaser weapon switch, maybe only to melee.

I thought on that, too, but the idea of the tf2 team having to create new weapon attributes, makes it impossible unless it's a really big update...

Whoa, didnt notice that.

At the most it should do 200 damage to kill a soldier, any more and thats a bit much.

A 5% bonus is all it needs.

I vote no.
Only because this wont allow me to shotgun these guys out of the air when I see them hurtling towards me with a shovel and they have no ranged defense.

DONT RUIN ONE OF MY FEW JOYS IN THIS GAME.

wat.


Edit: Added "and 0.5 seconds after landing", so you would have to do the swing while in the air anyways

[Pröme]

It should insta kill because it's way more skillful than headshotting or anything else. And getting moved down by an overhealed heavy after you crit him isn't fun

It also needs the Equalizer's taunt.

I don't want to switch weapons everytime I see 4 snipers caping right next to each other...
