Buff Banner mechanics
Shoot rockets at people, fill up a rage bar, get mini crits, right?
Lets go a tad deeper. The buff banner fills up when you have dealt 1500 rage points of damage.
Now, regular damage and rage damage are different. Say you do 100 damage with a rocket to a heavy. He still has 200 health left. Your rage meter is now 100/1500. Shoot him again for a 100 damage, and you get 200 rage points, you are now at 300/1500. Confused yet?
Rage points actually stack with damage. The total amount of damage done during an attack plus the damage the class has taken equals the amount of rage a soldier can get off a class. This explains why sometimes one or two stray rockets can instantly fill up a rage meter, you've hit a heavy that has stayed alive a LONG time with a medics help.
I think you only need 850 rage now, but the instant full rage bar seems to be no bug after all.

Scottish resistance is only (not that )good at camping multiple exits, and totally useless when someone pops close to you due to prime time. You also usually blow half ( or wrong ) of the stickies you wanted cause you were looking 0.001 pixel away from the sticky that would kill the guy that is about to rape you. Direct hit is also used very rarely and most of the time you do better with default rocket launcher. Also the balance of pickaxe is terrible, soldier meleeing with equalizer with health in "red" area is a scout-speed 130-150 dmg in one hit killing machine :/ Targe will be less annoying when people will come back to playing all classes.
