BONK! Atomic Punch Combos and Strategies

[Fivzie🌕]

Sooo BONK soda... Invincible for 8 seconds, but takes a second to activate.

There's only like, three strategies I can think of for this tool.

1) Back Shooting Scout: Using the Back Scatter, Bonk, and some other melee weapon (Probably the Atomizer), it could be used for scouts to get by enemy lines and to like, pop up from behind with that mini-crit that scatter offers.

2) Atomizer Jumping: Well, like for the first idea, using Bonk with the Atomizer negates the 10 damage cost for the third jump.

3) Sentry Distraction: Simple. Senty focuses on the invincible scout, teamates blow it up. Though, kinda hard pressed to see it in Casual, so I'm guess it's mostly a competative tactic.

4) Goofing off: Not a real strategy, but pretty fun. Annoy snipers, laugh at the enemy with a taunt and try to run away fast enough. Hell, if lucky, maybe even taunt kill with it.

Sooo yea, that's all I got. Been finding I don't really use it that much, but really want to use it more. Same tiiime, I don't really have much use for it since I play mostly casual. How often do you use Bonk? Is it kinda useless usually? Got any more ideas on how to use it better?

What do you think it tastes like? (I'm imagining it's sorta like Redbull in taste)

it's a flank tool
it lets you bypass enemies for free, and they're forced to devote resources to dealing with you
it works exactly as intended, and if anything it's too good at what it does

Should be nerfed?

probably, but it's hard to fix the problems without ruining the weapon
even if you nerfed it outright, it would still be giving out flanks unless you reworked it entirely

maybe marked for death after it wears off, or a shorter duration/longer cooldown

you could have flames pierce it so pyro works as a more effective counter without having to spam airblast, since logically the scout shouldn't be able to just dodge flames

Would be a neat idea. Even neater if we could get rid of the Mark-For-Death from the Crit-a-cola. I swear, the Scout has had some horrible nerfs lately lol

Drink removes overheal and deals 60 self-damage (that cannot kill), user cannot be healed or use health packs for its duration.

Didn't it once make you move at Heavy speed at one point

Or was that the CaC

I thought it takes less than 1 second to use.
