New Gradual HP drain for the Powerjack.

People have been complaining about the Pyro + Powerjack spam lately since deathrun turned into nothing but a speedrun competition to see which Pyro gets to the end first. Not only this but it's creating a warped "meta" for Skial Deathrun as the Powerjack makes Pyro the fastest class (taking Scout's nerf into account) and also with no drawback to using it, giving Game Freak's perception of balancing a run for its money.

It's only fair if the Powerjack drained the holder's HP as long it's equipped just like the Gloves of Running Urgently/Eviction Notice do or how the Escape Plan's boost increases the more a Soldier hurts himself.

Just nerf the speed, duh. (don't actually)

-This change also makes some minigames in maps unplayable unless you're a soilder & are then bound to dying to fall damage.
-Soldier can heal the HP they have lost whenever necessary if they just equip a secondary.
-Give Scunts a speed up. (They might not have been fastest due to circumstances of other classes but if this doesn't go through give, scunt his speed back)
-If you aren't "The People" then I don't see why it should be you to be the speaker of this movement.

As much as I'm fine with this nerf, I'd prefer other classes actually be changed for the better so people aren't just forced to be a certain class with certain items just to choose some stupid minigame (or humil) that literally nobody cares about.

This would be better but coming up with buffs for the with other classes takes more time than it would targeting a single weapon belonging to a single class.
 
I sort of agree but I don't believe it's necessary. The powerjack has always retained its speed boost in deathrun and other classes have their own advantages which is what makes Skial Deathrun unique. If you become a pyro you are going to be carrying the powerjack just like if you become a demoman you are going to be carrying a shield unless you enjoy making it hard for yourself.

Giving other classes more unique abilities would honestly be a better idea. I've already suggested allowing engineers to build and I was thinking of another good idea for scout.

Currently there is no real reason to pick scout, engineer or sniper.

Allowing Engineers to build is ass!!
 
Scouts at 330 hu/s and pyros currently at 340, if the main issue is scout is slower than pyro than raise scout to match or be slightly higher than the powerjack while still below its full 400 hu/s
