Base Changes
You will no longer take extra self damage if you happen to shoot an enemy who is next to you so long as you have the "Blast Jumping" status effect.
Rocket jumping now has a dedicated animation for flying around midair

Given Rocket Jumping has less push force, it's been buffed to deal less self damage. The second change was to make doing Rocket Jump rollouts less annoying, as a Trooper main (well, the previous creator is, at least) it's really infuriating to get my whole rollout ruined by a random player standing exactly in the spot I'm about to blast jump from.
Primary Changes
Primary Changes (all of these changes apply to unlockables)
Reduced rocket jumping self damage from 46 to 40
Reduced rocket base damage to 85.
Max ramp up is still 112 and falloff is still 48.

The base damage nerf was inspired by Tony Allen TF2's soldier rebalance. The idea in this rebalance is to give Mechanics more of a fighting chance against camping Troopers.

Trying to cement this weapon into having more of a "combo-oriented" role rather than just being a boring sidegrade to stock. The damage penalty is actually something you have to think about now rather than just being an accessory stat that you sometimes remember exists. The deploy and holster speed may prove useful for Trollper mains or hardcore combo-ers.

This should hopefully push it over 130 damage at max rampup. This is also to make it less stupidly terrifying from long range.

Added back the max clipsize of 8 rockets. Though to avoid making it a direct upgrade. I've added a few extra downsides.

The Black Box is a conceptually fine but boring weapon. This leans into the idea of a one-man army that sacrifices reliance Rocket Jumping in exchange for the ability run in like the moron you always were and blow everyone up.. including yourself.

Honestly anything makes the Friendly Fire Foiler better by this point. I've (well, it was already like this, I just agreed with it) decided to shake it up from all the other reworks/buffs by adding a meter of sorts to it. It's also been unbanned from VSB, since that was stupid.

Inspired by an old rework for the Reserve Shooter where it was turned into a Rifle. Partially mixed with the Experimental Item. This should give the Ranger's Rifle a bit more purpose without being a hyper-situational weapon with a set of "whatever" upsides.

Why specifically 50% against sentries? This should make the Battallion's have a much more versatile use, and showing how much damage is required should make it easier for players to gauge how much damage is needed to fill the banner.

Passives are REALLY weak on this one, which mostly makes sense, but I think they could stand to be a little stronger.

Decided to lean in a lot more to the "damage increasing with speed" angle that the Market Gardener tried and failed at doing. This would kill Soundsmith immediately.
