you seem to say that a soldier can't kill anything on his own, and just throws splash damage around for the rest of his team to clean up. While I could certainly agree with that in some settings, I think generally it's fairly easy to take out a group like the one you describe, as long as you're not stupid and have some cover to use.
rocket spam on snipers breaks their concentration and makes it really easy for other snipers to kill. i don't really see your point, especially because you're implying that stopping people pushing the cart doesn't require killing/maiming them, which boosts the precious precious ratio.
bouncing ubered pyros/demos usually allows you to stay alive cause they're nowhere near you. If a pyro you're juggling is still shooting you, you're doin it wrong.
and for god's sake, people need to stop relying on "witty" 4chan retorts. this srs biznezz response gets old when the person using it started the whole bloody thing.
smoke moar.

....just sayin....go 1v1 him if you think he needs a medic buddy, for all my mocking he's still a really good, and looks great in skirts (red really brings out the colour of his thighs, if you know what i mean)
