In a matter of sheer coincidence, guess what I unlocked today?

Who would have know how fun it could be to flank and take out a level 2 sentry or wipe out heavy+medic quicker than a spy could?

Quote for emphasis, this is an oft-overlooked point.

The problem before the update was that you where soldier fodder, every fucking time. You burnt soldier, soldier killed you and to add insult to injury, killed himself so you didn't even get a point for it... Now with the airblast you can deflect rockets and other projectiles and push people away. But with the backburner you still have to get up close and personal and gives you that risk of being suicide bombed by a soldier again. The extra health at least gives you a chance to stay alive there.

A mistake on Valve's part, if that is the case. Assuming this, they should have just added extra survivability to rockets and splash damage. Like a Kevlar suit or something.
