in highlander its pretty good on payload when used with a banner on since you fight a lot of close range stuff you get a decent amount of health back
outside of that though.. you really only have 3 rockets and the health from most range spam is very small so you gain almost nothing from losing 1 rocket per clip
(you could have 1 extra rocket when bombing by using stock)
its a situational weapon where the positives of the weapon are only good when taking like close range or indoor fights

as a soldier in a scout dominated meta losing a rocket to recover 40 health in a best-case scenario (cuz you probably used 1 or 2 rockets to jump in) just isnt worth it. the extra rocket could probably be used to kill the person you're fighting before you needed the health from the black box, or to jump away to a health pack and get 100 health without needing to hit ur shots. +60 if you hit 3 90 damage shots, or +100 for using 1 rocket to jump away and still having 3 to fight if the dude chases you. i'd take the guaranteed 100 health any day
maybe back in the day it was much better situationally, say, being able to shoot one rocket across the map and hitting a few people and collecting 45 health for free, but nowadays when you can only get a max 20 health back per rocket i dont think it's worth it.
as rain pointed out though, i imagine it could be good in highlander with a banner, but i dont play highlander so i dont actually know

the black box was only good when you could spam a rocket into badlands choke from batts and get 45hp back

it's sad because I thought it was underrated pre-nerf and not enough people took advantage of the specific maps/situations where it could be really sick (I remember when I was on a team with ma3la and he broke it out on granary and just wrecked with it)
but it's just not that hot anymore

it was perfectly fine and viable until they changed it and now u are at a disadvantage to use it thers no reason to.
thing was just before they nerfed it ppl were experimenting with it more than ever and it was fine but then Gaben changed it

There's no reason to use the badbox, not even in hl. You worsen your biggest weakness by 25% in exchange for a bit of health.
