Scorch Shot Stats and Knockback Rage Suggestion

I have two question:

1) If Scorch Shot works as Detonator, why don't get full Detonator Stats?

A comparison:

Scorch Shot:

(+) 100% mini-crits vs burning players
(-) 35% damage penalty
(-) -35% self damage force
Alt-Fire: Detonate flare. (Replaced Knockback Stats)

Detonator:

(+) 100% mini-crits vs burning players
(-) 25% damage penalty
(-) +50% damage to self
Alt-Fire: Detonate flare.

In summary the Scorch Shot deal less damage and less jump height unlike Detonator deal more damage and deal a little more damage to self but you jump a lot higher.

Scorch Shot is totally uselsss.

My suggestion for Scorch Shot is remove (-) 35% damage penalty or get the Detonator stats, that means an Detonator reskin.

2) If Vaccinator +2s Über Duration and the 3rd level 10% Sentry Firing Speed has deen disabled because are bugged, that's very good fix, but they forgot another bugged upgrade called Knockback Rage.

The Knockback Rage has 3 levels and there no difference, just only switch class or loadout will get 10 seconds duration instad of 5, 700$ wasted and Ive seen players with full Knockback Rage upgrade.

My suggestion is the Knockback Rage 2dn and 3rd level should be disabled as the Vaccinator +2s Über Duration and the 3rd level 10% Sentry Firing Speed.

Knockback Rage level raises the duration of knockback rage, it still works as it should

as for those stat changes, we're not going to do any of that since the idea has been to keep the campaign experience as close to boot camp/mann up as reasonable and having a weapon change its stats entirely when you join a potato.tf server is the entire opposite of this

That means upgrading level the Knockback Rage is similar as Rocket Specialist, with only upgrade to level 1 is sufficient.

yes, the bonuses gained per level may be minimal but there is something gained per level.
It's not like sentry's firing speed, vacc's uber duration or flamethrower's afterburn duration where the upgrades are mechanically broken and just flat-out don't work
