Give the weapon a purpose

My Idea for stats:
+On hit enemies are covered with lemom juice (Lemon juice acts like and lasts for 9 seconds)
+On hit buildings are disabled for 3 secs
+Enemies covered with lemon juice will take crits when hit with a lemon again
Cons:
-25% Damage vs Players
-25% damage vs buildings

I am gonna burn your house down with Lemons! Because you are fired!

Level 1-5 fruit dispenser
-100% damage penalty
+projectile explodes in a small radius on impact
+25% afterburn damage bonus
+on direct hit: disable buildings for 2 seconds

You guys got it all wrong. It's a (here's the keyword) COMBUSTABLE lemon. Not a jarate lemon. Make it burn the sentries/bots and do reduced damage vs players.

It explodes and squirts lemon juice everywhere.
How hard is that to understand?

So a fiery jarate grenade launcher for the Pyro.
Seems legit.

So a buffed flare gun with less base damage.

sounds fair

I don't think there should be lemon juice at all, cause it's a combustible lemon launcher. Combustible often gets confused for explosive, what it really means is it can COMBUST! As in, SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION! It's not exploding, it's flaming.

Also the disabling of buildings was something reserved for the cow mangler and would easily make this overpowered. Would be cool if this did bonus damage to buildings and robots and a little less to players though

You didn't explain why explosive lemons can have juice while combustible ones can't.

Wish they'd give it out as a mode version at least, it's been so long sicne portal 2 doubt valve will put it in until portal 3 ;-;

lemon? do you even play portal 1 and 2?

My stats ideas:
Level 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 Lemon Launcher
On hit: get coated with lemon juice (acts like jarate) for 5 seconds
On building hit: disabled for 5 seconds
On sapper hit: remove sapper
On friendly hit: extinguish fire
+10% afterburn time
+10% afterburn damage
-25% damage against players
In Mann VS Machine...
On robot hit: slowed for 5 seconds
On robo-spy hit: undisguise and uncloak

If they did add it I think it should be a Flare gun reskin!

As with most Statistics for weapons. They are Valve's decision if they plan to add them. As for weapons. They should be to balance or counterbalance other secondaries in Pyro's arsenal.

I feel like this can be a Homewrecker type of gun. Getting rid of Sentry Nests.

Stats
+ 100 Damage to Buildings (This does not apply to Sappers.)
+ Switch Speed 50%, much on par with the Panic Attack.
+ Projectile Speed 10% much on par with the Manmelter.
- 35 Damage VS Players, so Players are discouraged from using this in actual battle aganist players, but it rather is a support tool for pushing through a area safely.
- Cannot be fully crit boosted. (this will return a old stat from the Cow Mangler 5000)

I know i can think of more Negative Stats to it. but i believe that would be Counter intuitive, Making it not useable.
