[QUOTE=Sh33p;21969003][b]I always use the backburner[/b]. I need the crits for the near instant kills from the back, damage is too bollocks otherwise, I don't like getting outshot by a scout at close range.[/QUOTE]
Even before the nerf? Wow some people really enjoy being a dick to everyone else on their team.
I hope clanshits would stop crying about the pyro. It's an awesome class and takes skill to play.
The actually decent ones don't bitch about it, pyro is just not very effective in clan matches.
Maybe now that reflecting is more powerful, and clan matches are primarily projectile classes he'll become more popular. Probly not.
From what I've seen from durr frag vids is Demos using sticky spam, which isn't easy to blow back since they explode in your face, and Soldiers that will shotgun you. And the scout, of course.
Well the pyro isn't a "suicide bomber" kind of class where you w+m1 til the enemy kill you and then he gets killed by the afterburn.
The It's kind of sad that the close range specialist sucks at close range. Yes a support Pyro is a nice thought, but when he can't be effective in combat at his supposed range of expertise there is a problem.
roll back damage and add an overheat Meter to stop W+M1'ing
And it's not skill problem when your class is totally useless on his own.
It's easy to say that Pyro is a class of the lower extremities of range. He has two things for ranged combat: A shotgun (8 points of damage per shell at long range, which is barely anything) and a Flare Gun (only about 15 shots, and is hard to hit a moving target). Nerfing his damage at close range is like removing a gun's firing mechanism: It's now nearly worthless.
pyro shotgun rush gogogo :v:
[QUOTE=Aaron0000;21951972]Fix his damage and afterburn, and add afterburn that never stops for the backburner (unless extinguished by a liquid or healing source). Also add a 7% speed increase so he has Medic Speed. Then add an airblast jump for pyro and 10% more damage to the Backburner.[/QUOTE]
Sorry to bump this thread up, but who the hell thought this was a good idea in any way.
that post better have been misinterpreted sarcasm.
Damage increase, fine. 7% speed bonus? No. Airblast jump? No. Afterburn that never fucking stops? [B]No.[/B]
