Could Pyros be any more Overpowered? - Games

This isnt supposed to be a butthurt ,,i've been killed OMG YORE OVERPWRD" thread. I usually play as Soldier/Demoman, and it doesnt bothers me if i walk into a minigun/sticky bomb fileld, i dont bother if i spy backstabs me all the time. I never get angry because of games and im not even ,,butthurt" now i just wanna know what people think about pyros. They're real bitches! Whenever i see a pyro i know that im already dead, the only thing i can do is take him with me. They got that push stuff for some reason and the flame hurts you when you are miles away, and of course they MUST run with 100 miles/hour. And that flamethrower is ridiculously overpowered. And the worst that they aint got any weakness, like the heavy is slow, the scout got low hp, demoman can always hur himself etc. So, do you think that Pyros are overpowered?

no, its an offense class

When you see a pyro you get crushed by despair and lose your ability to fight. [editline]09:20PM[/editline] They do have a weakness: ineffective over long ranges.

If you can't kill the Pyro when he's far away, you deserve getting killed.

The pyro's weaknesses are long range and overhealed soldiers and heavies. If you're a soldier and getting owned by a pyro, you either suck or you have no medics around. Or both.

If you cant kill a WM1 pyro, you deserve it. Shoot them + backstrafe = Victory.

Stop complaining and learn how to oppose a pyro. Oh, and pyro is NOT overpowered.

[QUOTE=KaIibos;17568910]Yeah except their huge glowing weakness is that they can't do fuck-all unless they're very close to you[/QUOTE] Flare gun

lol, soldier is overpowered

The only thing that makes me rage is when a W+M1 pyro gets me. But I suppose I deserve it if I let him get that close.

Pyro is OP vave remove now :saddowns:

Well, like i said that damn flamethrower hits you from a mile and they movie fast, so basically they get close very fast and if im soldier, or anything whats slower then pyro(pyro is 3. fastest class btw) you cant run away, and i didnt said that i've never killed a pyro, [editline]06:59PM[/editline] [QUOTE=rosthouse;17568958]Yes it is such a thread. Stop complaining and learn how to oppose a pyro. Oh, and pyro is NOT overpowered.[/QUOTE] Judging from your pic you play as Pyro a lot. so u dont really get killed by them that much.

[b]SO[/b] many threads about pyro is OP

[QUOTE=ica|kvantum;17569384][b]SO[/b] many threds about pyro is OP[/QUOTE] I wonder why...

[QUOTE=djmontana;17569399]I wonder why...[/QUOTE] Because people don't know how to fight them properly? Also, they could be more overpowered. Their shotgun could fire invisible Crit Rockets

okay, look. as a scout, go upclose and when they take out their flamethrower backup and shoot them. repeat.

pull out your shotgun with soldier and pyros are ment to be a counter to demomen

[QUOTE=Vaught;17569091]Flare gun[/QUOTE] I love the Flare Gun so very much, but it's not really a reliable long-range weapon. At such distances you're basically out of luck against an opponent aware and actively avoiding your shenanigans, unless you can utilize trickery to make him "dodge" into a flare he thought was heading straight for him.

And stop crying bout mah spelling! Im still learning english!

Boy this is a dumb thread.

What they need to do is fix the range, then flamethrower is fine.

The Pyro can seem like he's OP at times, but really he's not. You've just got to become more aware of what's going on around you, especially as a Soldier - he's powerful, but slow and his rockets have a long flight time. Check your corners, check those little nooks and crannies, and always turn around and check your back occasionally in case some jerk with a Backburner is trying to get the drop on you. The Soldier's high health should absorb most afterburn as well, unless you had already been hurt or really took a beating from the encounter. If the Pyro is exceptionally good at blasting your rockets away, then there's always your shotgun.

Pyro's are easy to kill specially if they are WM1'ing,FaN scouts are the real bitches.

Alright then take a number and join the line of people that hasn't quite worked out maybe, just maybe you should have not let a pyro close the gap between you and it. I mean insulting a pyro for being OP when you are right next to it is like insulting a sniper for having such power at long distance. Besides if they W+M1 just S+M1 they don't have much health compared to most classes.

Soldiers and demomen should not be complaining that Pyros are OP. :/

What I think is that he needs only a slight speed nerf (perhaps 90% speed), as he is SUPPOSED to be an ambush class.

if anything soldiers and demos are OP. i use the normal flamethrower with concussion blast and the flare gun to get rid of snipers. to be brutally honest we are easy to kill, you just gotta know how, keep em back with rockets since it does move us back abit. demo (and i hate this) but spam stickies, seems what almost every demo does. just avoid pyros they are an agent of chaos

shoot them from distance maby...?

[QUOTE=djmontana;17569289] Judging from your pic you play as Pyro a lot. so u dont really get killed by them that much.[/QUOTE] Judging by your pic, you play soldier a lot. Simple: 1. Aim for the feet 2. Shoot rocket 3. Wait until the pyro lands again 4. Finish him off It's that easy. Oh, and my most played class is soldier.
