Scout Wallrun/Wall climb

[SMASNUG]

It seems natural for a scout to be able to wallrun with his fast speed, but if this was actually implemented to the game, then people would say Scouts would get way more annoying than it is now. What if there were Wallrun shoes that replace the primary weapon, so Scouts are reduced to secondaries and bats only. It's like Wee Booties and Bootlegger of Demos, in a sense that they are primaries. Scouts wouldn't be able to wallrun or climb walls if he were carrying some shotgun or scattergun - they are heavy.
Scouts would still have 2X capture bonus even with this 'runner shoes' item, but would be significantly more weaker without his primaries. The name 'Scout' itself doesn't mean it is a forefront attacker, it means they go on ahead and recon areas before his teammates arrive. Reporting what he saw quickly should be his asset, I think.
Maybe double jump could be limited in a way to avoid overpowering Scouts with this item. Say, if he had double jumped, then his [Stamina] would be depleted so he has to take 2~3 seconds to be able to wall run or wall climb, and vice versa...

I dont see that happening since all the maps would have to be reprogrammed for you to be able to that. Plus there's already a Parkour map that runs a walljumping mod.

Parkour map is a mod, and I see that if people wanted to wallrun and wall climb, they can just go to those servers with the mod, but what I meant is the actual game without the mod.
I am aware of how map structures would have to be reconsidered with this item, but people shouldn't even worry about it if the runner item is balanced well so that it doesn't affect the game too much.
Just sayin'

Besides the redesigning of maps that does sound pretty cool.

It is.Pretty fun to race to the end to see who can get the best time.

id actually like this but hed need a stronger secondary to help with this since his most damaging secondary si the winger wich is innacurute when your going around at mach 10 even harder if your running on walls maybe a revolver like thing thats an item for engie scout and spy

Just needs s better secondary of some sort. Other than that he would live up to his name with this asset.

I just came up with this weird and unprecedented idea, that what if Scouts wearing these Runner Shoes could actually [Kick] opponents...?
I mean... they are agile as heck, right? This should somehow take care of that problem you suggested.

[SMASNUG]

Without the Primary weapons, the Scout would be pretty weak, so like the Bootlegger of Demos, the shoes could actually give Scouts some health bonus. He has quite low health, so it will be quite reasonable to add the health increase like the bootlegger.
Any extra ideas?

[Lumanator]

Bad idea, because it would require reprogramming to maps, and it would take years for it to finish.
And if you want it, play Parkour Fortress 2.

The scout needs a better pistol for this to work. One that has a high ammo capacity and damage, but slower firing speed and no random critical hits?

[SMASNUG]

@Smiley,
Like others mentioned above, it is recongnised that Scouts without Primary would be way weaker, but what if the Runner Shoes strengthened the bats? Like 20~25% damage (or speed) increase to all Tertiary weapons (I mean bats) could possibly help players to use ambush tactics with their stronger bats.
In addition, I mentioned how Kicking could be added to the Runner Shoes to resolve the problem.
