I've been using Loch-and-Load a lot recently but mostly just as a handicap to keep things interesting.

A handicap? That's what the Targe is for. Dohohoho.

If I'm playing against some truly awful pubbies I'll use them both. If you add in the Caber you'll have 60% resistance against flames.

Stupid Caber doesn't make any sense either. Hurp durp, I'm going to one hit kill you when you're at full hp and I'm below half, and it wont even come close to killing me.

Also, who thought of "10% resistance on flames" as a set bonus?
Here boy, you'll eat 0.3 damage less per tick when a pyro burns you.

It would be OK, I guess, after the full length you might have 5-6 more hp, but the game rounds up damage anyways, so I don't think it makes any difference at all.

While I am on a rant, I'll add that the Boston Basher is dumb, it's a very low award for the risk it gives.
Who the hell doesn't miss over half his hits when meleeing as a scout? It shouldn't deal the full bat damage to youself... maybe only the bleeding or, hell, make that 10 damage, and we might have something here.

Or maybe we can just use the ridiculous weapons just when we don't care about dying and feel like dicking around.

I love soldiers who have banners, it means they don't carry shotguns

Don't need shotguns when 3 rockets hit; Thanks damage spread, for not being on.

One shot hitting for 43 then next shot at same range hitting for 11 is fucking retarded.

Makes accurate shotgunning (3rd best thing pyros can do btw) a game of blind luck. Makes errything else dumb too.

Are the other two things "hold left and pray for a miracle" and "hold left behind them and pray for crit registration?"

Not gonna lie the 60% resistance to flames is ridiculous. Was getting hit by a degreaser for a good 5 seconds and I was still at about 60 health.

This. Though I've noticed you actually only get 55% resistance when using item set + Targe because apparently they calculate the effects sequentially instead of all at once (not that you'd really notice the 5% difference anyway).

I think that has more to do with the fact that you play spy religiously. 

[beep beep diglett]

idk where to put this but there is NO detection on red right now, i only played for like 20 minutes but holy shit. shoot man in face, do 0 dmg. shoot man in torso, do 0 dmg. shoot another man in he face, do 50 damage. it's really really bad.

This. It has definatly gotten extremely worse recently, and that cache cleaning didn't help. I can not play scout at all anymore. Even with demoknight, I had several swings cut right through people without so much as a single scratch.

Ambassador headshot? Nothin'

Unload an entire round of revolver into a hurr durr stickie demoman and watch as you leave bloodstains on 5 separate parts of his body? Zilch.

Same here.
