[QUOTE=Magmacow358;36115098]I love the LnL to death, works so fantastic against groups and, well everyone. Can down most classes in 1-3 hits and has a nice range to it. By the way, which flamethrower would you guys recommend for a pyro who does use his flamer, but also frequently uses melee and shotgun, but spends most of his time lurking around the enemy base causing mayhem and ruining sniper's days?[/QUOTE] anything but Degreaser
degreaser no reason to gimp yourself
[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;36115177]anything but Degreaser[/QUOTE]You just told the guy who said that he likes to switch weapons constantly not to use the weapon which helps him switch weapons constantly. Explain your logic.
I hope i hate the degreaser because if i love it then I have to buy ANOTHER fucking strange flamer.

[QUOTE=Pennywise;36115249]You just told the guy who said that he likes to switch weapons constantly not to use the weapon which helps him switch weapons constantly. Explain your logic.[/QUOTE] Well, the ONLY perk of the Degreaser is the enhanced weapon switch. He also said he likes to stay behind enemy lines, so the Backburner would be handy. And if the increased airblast cost isn't appealing, the stock Flamethrower works nicely too. [editline]28th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Magmacow358;36115275]I hope i hate the degreaser because if i love it then I have to buy ANOTHER fucking strange flamer.[/QUOTE] Backburner is GREAT for causing mayhem. Sneak up behind a Heavy Medic pair or a group pushin the cart and see how quickly you get 100% of their attention.

And if the increased airblast cost isn't appealing, the stock Flamethrower works nicely too.[/QUOTE]I could see the Backburner working pretty well in that role, yeah. I suppose it would really depend on [i]what[/i] type of mayhem is specifically being sought after; when I read the emphasis on Sniper annoying, I imagined a Pyro which needed less raw flame damage because he's likely tiptoing up behind support classes and lone wolves who will go down to secondary/melee just as well if taken by surprise properly. On the other hand, popping up behind an entire push group while they're on the way to the main fight would most certainly be the area for a Backburner, and extended guerrilla warfare against heavy hitters in their own bases could even be a [i]Phlog[/i] niche due to constant fire cherry tapping and health regeneration capabilities.
I'd suggest he goes with the backburner and back scratcher for lurking behind enemy lines.

[QUOTE=LeeMelvin;36114778]What's everyone's opinion of the loch-n-load? Do you think it's a crutch weapon? I started playing demoman and got pretty decent with it but I don't want to be one of [i]those[/i] people, you know (soda popper, dead ringer, liberty launcher).[/QUOTE] Loch-N-Load forces you to learn to properly aim with grenades, you'll be better with it and with the default launcher because of it.
I always find myself annoyed by people that yell at me when I die as their pocket medic. Hey man, its my job to heal, not protect myself. That's your job. :eng101:
[QUOTE=Bazkip;36115731]Loch-N-Load forces you to learn to properly aim with grenades, you'll be better with it and with the default launcher because of it.[/QUOTE] And ultimately if you can aim with the LnL you'd probably be better off with the default. Those 2 extra grenades can mean the difference between life and death.
[QUOTE=01271;36108851]'friendship is golden/yellow/liquid/all over you' is a piss joke that dates to before mlp. 'magical rifle of friendship' is a reference. I am annoyed by the name of this weapon. I am also annoyed by the description of this hat. [url]http://tf2b.com/item/76561198035334556/793367815[/url][/QUOTE] Wait... [I]The El[/I] Jefe? Has it always been The The Boss before?

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;36115797]And ultimately if you can aim with the LnL you'd probably be better off with the default. Those 2 extra grenades can mean the difference between life and death.[/QUOTE] I still prefer the Loch. The default feels too, I dunno, cheap or something.

When I was a Tech Admin for a group's servers, one of the major rules was not to dick ab00t on (and especially) the Hale servers. everyone held that 'cept one day the owner kept dicking about and kicked any player who actually killed him and his friends for "killing him". I ended up just leaving him and his group. He. Raged. Like. All. Hell. long story short - people got sick of his childish attitude and his community of 10,000+ crashed after a year of hard work, us Admins got sick of all the shit and left. Never looked back :V
[QUOTE=maxumym;36115989]I still prefer the Loch. The default feels too, I dunno, cheap or something.[/QUOTE] I love and use the loch n load constantly, but the idea that the default is cheap while the lnl is not is, well, funny to me. Part of the appeal of the lnl to me is that it's a dick weapon, scout waltzes up to you, dies in 1 hit, no scout I'm sorry it doesn't matter how many times you hit me I only need to hit you once.
I got banned from a server for telling an admin that he has a small dick for using degreaser + axtinguisher.
[QUOTE=narayan;36116234]I got banned from a server for telling an admin that he has a small dick for using degreaser + axtinguisher.[/QUOTE] He kind of has a legit reason to act, since harassing can be bannable.
[QUOTE=Fillmore;36116267]He kind of has a legit reason to act, since harassing can be bannable.[/QUOTE] You're prolly right, but the point is that the combo is so op that it isn't even funny anymore.

The LnL needs a buff, a halved clip is a really large penalty all by itself. The increased damage is great and easy to turn into OP stuff, but halved clip (forced by the design of the item), no rollers AND increased self-damage is kinda huge. I'd be eager to see how a 4-clip LnL would play, tho. Those 2 grenades come from the unused barrels from the vanilla GL, blame Merasmus.
I donno man, the loch-n-load is fine as is I think. Any more buffs and it's just a complete upgrade. I mean, who needs rollers when you can just shoot your enemies point blank and deal with everything else with stickies?
The only buff I think the LnL needs is that Grenades should explode on contact with surfaces. I like grenade jumping, since that is really damn useful.
But you've got the sticky launcher for that.
The only change that the LnL needs is the reload animation >.>
[QUOTE=narayan;36117222]The only change that the LnL needs is the reload animation >.>[/QUOTE] I think I would rather fix the glaringly broken sight on it.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;36117054]The only buff I think the LnL needs is that Grenades should explode on contact with surfaces.

That would make Demomortar an actual strategy instead of a term coined to depict Demobot strategies on sentry removal. Plus, imagine a kritzed Demo with LnL. His pipes will crit out the sun.
