The 15 HP increase was fine already with the Pocket Pistol, until they removed it. Plus, Scout melee is primarily used as a last resort or just for cosmetic. The Scout is already as fine as it is with the Scattergun and a good Secondary (Mad Milk or Pistol). However giving the Scout a melee with distinct stats, and distinct look, clearly shows the intentional use of it. I could understand if you wanted to have a new melee for new variety (which is what Soldier needs). But indefinite stats can take the whole point of a class away. In my opinion, it should just be different bleeding effects or a Flying Guillotine reskin.

I want weapon variety for the scout in teh primary secondary and melee slots for the Scout. I made stats for a different item(the Bloodletter) for bleed effects, as well as propositioned a rework of the Three Rune Blade into something of its own(in SPUF). There are also Cleaver like type weapons in teh workshop for the Scout, I made some suggestions for them. And this is my idea for this Machete. Some current melees(rift items) and the Winger, PBPP and the Backscatter need tweaks. I suggested some ideas in SPUF for them.

Reskin of Boston Basher/Three Rune Blade

first of all no reskins please.

Alternatively make it a bit different.

Your idea of the weapon stat is good, drivan. But I think there's should be a another con. It should be, "Everytime you kill, people will hear the tune of you killing the victim." The area of the tune should be around 1 heavy long.

What about a short laugh on kill?

It seems about right.

I prefer that idea more than the boston basher. for one we already have a reskin forr the boston basher we dont need another. I NEED THIS!

thank you for the compliments. And yes, Boston Basher needs a bit of an improvement.

Now that I think of it though, what about a stats Eyelander focused on HP and it has bleed effects for the Murderer's Machete?

I have a feeling that it should come in two styles, much like the Flying Guillotine: Bloody / Not Bloody. I think it should work much like the Eyelander, but for the Scout. [-25 max HP on wearer, kills count towards Head Count, more heads=more dmg + more HP (The Scout is already fast enough, so i didnt include the speed-on kill gig that the Eyelander has.)]

The stats could be:

Killing players grants a speed boost for 3 or 5 seconds
+15% max health
50% more fire damage received
Immune to afterburn
