Somewhat Threatening Sniper
I think I'm starting to get into a bit of a habit on the Skial servers. Basically it started like this: I went on a Dustbowl server, team wasn't doing so good, was starting to get annoyed (not that anyone notices cause I don't really show it so much). Eventually I just thought "SCREW IT, let's just make ourselves as useless as possible!" So I went to soldier and equiped the Rocket Jumper, the Mantreads, and the Market Garderner and just started rocket-jumping all over the place without a damn for the objective or anything else that didn't have any relation to rocket-jumping. I should also note that I am no STAR_ in that subject; I'm competent enough to know how it works, but not always on how to execute it (that and my finger doesn't really want to leave the W key). I dunno why, bu it just seems to calm me down for whatever reason.

So now if I face a team that's been stacked for TWO scrambles worth of time? ROCKET JUMP!
Auto-balanced onto enemy team a minute or two before the team I was on before scored? ROCKET JUMP!
Any form of bad mood that I feel is lasting a bit too long? ROCKET JUMP!

This is just something I've been doing on the Skial servers only cause who knows how the other ones will take it. I just feel that this is just gonna become a bit of a joke thing for me (I even change my steam name to MetelROCKETJUMP on those occasions). So... ROCKET JUMPING! Anyone wanna share some cool rocket-jump experiences?
 
I like when I am pyro and I catch a rocket jumper in the corner with the blast and then wait till he tries to rocket jump away and get him in the air with my reserve shooter for the crit > : )
 
use the beggars to rocket jump.


was amazing before valve decided to butcher the living hell out of it
 
When blu storms out of their hole, on the third round of dustbowl,
I just rocket jump over their heads and blast em all deads.

I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.
 
I will say this about my whole ROCKET JUMP thing, I'm pretty sure I'm slightly useful when I'm doing that; I tend to be a bit of a distraction for the other team (but not much) and I occasionally get at least ONE Market Gardener kill (will let you all know when I manage to actually kill anyone with the mantreads)

Son, mantreads are just fancy footwear for the soldier that cost a scrap. They aren't actually meant to kill people!

As I said, I'll let you know when I actually kill someone with them, I didn't say it was likely

You know, I'm starting to find it funny that most people, when I'm going through the rocket jumping phase, just keeps on killing me even though I'm not that much a threat (might be because I try to use them as market gardening practice occasionally...) I don't know about everyone else, but KD-ratio doesn't really matter to me in the first place (tell me that's an accurate indication of skill and I'll consider you a moron), the domination some people end up eventually getting from killing me is pretty much worthless because I'm not even bothering trying to kill them most of the time during the phase, I already mentioned that when I go rocket-jumping I don't follow along with the objective... at this point, I'm assuming it's just the "he's on the enemy team kill him anyway" instinct going on.

Of course, it isn't typical behavior to rocket-jump onto the rafters in 2fort just to jump back down and do it all over again (with the occasional attempt to rocket-jump to the other side of said rafter), so most people would probably just go with the most logical explaination anyway.

So you openly admit to grief on Skial servers?

People aren't complaining about it, so I don't think it is. Besides, that's only for when I'm rocket-jumping (and honestly, there are some moments I do sort of help out, like the occasional destruction of a sentry before it's fully constructed and whatnot). Basically put, I don't put killing enemies on the top of list while in rocket-jump mode... but there are some times I decide to whack someone with the market gardener even on the ground
 
Apologies for the potential double-post, but perhaps I should rephrase the particular line Astir quoted. The part about me not killing most of the time is probably the one most improperly used, especially the "bother" part... what I meant by that is I'm either trying to use the enemies as target-practice (which fails most of the time) or I'm trying to run off to get health while ignoring anyone who gets in the way (which often happens anyway). Basically what I meant by that is not bothering to kill them seriously, especially since all I use along with the Rocket Jumper is the Mantreads and the Market Gardener (as I said above, I do use that shovel on the ground against some people, especially if they get too close). Honestly, yes I'm not focusing on the objective of whatever the game mode is while I have the Rocket Jumper out, but I still make my way into enemy territory, even if ill-equipped, so you can't really say I'm heading the opposite direction of advancement since I'm always heading out into danger still.

Overall, the Rocket-Jumper set for me is just to fool around outside of the usual gameplay I play along with when I'm not in good mood, as mentioned in the post starting this thread. Rather than just yelling insults over the mic or get negative on the in-game chat, I just pull out the most useless rocket launcher and a shovel and just jump about... if this is a problem though, I'll be sure to stick with playing seriously if that's the case.
 
Thunder Mountain regular here, and I rocket jump trollger all the time on TM, and your right helps when your in a bad mood, nothing is more of a stress reliever. Than that of a rocket jump market gardener kill, especially when you Mantread them and get the MG kill. ;)
