The Sun-on-a-Stick (melee weapon for the Scout) is rarely used TF2. But is that because it's a bad item? Or is there a secret strategy to make the Sun-on-a-Stick shine?

In this series - RE:Balance - we take a look at a weapon's stats, the strategies those stats and promote, and how well that weapon compares to the alternative options (i.e. Scout's other melee weapons). In every episode I give suggestions for rebalancing the weapon where appropriate, and in this episode I present 4 TF2 weapon concepts that I think will help balance the Sun-on-a-Stick. But as always, I welcome and encourage *you* to share your weapon ideas too, as I am but one man with one perspective and I am the first to admit I don't know it all.
