The thing about the new scout is that he has a movement gimmick in every loadout slot... so why give up the awesome that is scattergun, when you could give up the meh that is stock bat or pistol?  Unless you like using the bat as a bat for some strange reason, the atomizer is a straight upgrade to the standard bat, and its ability is great provided you learn not to trigger it by accident.  The winger isn't as effective as the atomizer but will give you the same movement abilities as the force-o-nature with fewer downsides.  Soda popper is hilarious but from what I've seen tends to bring the user way above the target where they can't deal effective damage, and besides the ability is only available half the time so same problem as old soda popper.  I haven't spent any significant time with it yet, so maybe for people who are really good at it it can work.

The exception to this is baby face's blaster, because its the only movement gimmick that improves speed, rather than jump height.  So that has a role currently.  But soda popper and force-o-nature are mainly for fun rather than effectiveness.  It would be like if the gunboats gave 100% self-damage reduction, why would you use the rocket jumper when you could get the same ability on a secondary?

The Soda Popper is amazing, from the few minutes I used it today. If your situational awareness isn't incredible, you may just get a sneak attack on you, and not much survives two point-blank shots to the back from that thing.

I sometimes play on 2Fort instarespawn servers.

I always take scout, fish and crit-a-cola, and then proceed to critfish all the snipers.
