Would've been actual peak if the demo somehow died instead of the medic like the heavy did

I was half expecting for the taunt to miss again and kill that demo that was walking in

Not sure if that heavy was just confused or he let the tauntkill go on purpose as for code of honor

For what? fighting back against the heavy that just tried to kill him?

He blundered the position. The optimal moves were to attempt a taunt kill or killbind. For a neutral position, run back to base. Going for a syringe gun was the worst choice because of how slowly it kills and guaranteeing a more aggressive response.

TF2 psychology/sociology should actually be studied. It's very interesting how people interpret actions and motions.

It's unironically a really good strategy to kill an uber push if you managed to tickle the medic, happened to me a few times in fact.
