MrFahr3nheitsopseee"a Pyro only needs to click m2 and the threat is canceled"

"he gets a lucky shot he not only ignores the damage "

is pyro easy or not dude make up yr mind

"Pyro can simply close the distance "

stop postingIf the Pyro manages to aim the projectile and it hits, not only he ignores damage but he deals 135% the damage it originally does.
He walks at a person because the person cannot fire his projectiles at the Pyro until they are both very close to each other.
Or he can just not engage the one class that hard counters him and leave with his infinitely more flexible mobility instead of sitting there letting the pyro walk up to him like a dingoose

Since when does Pyro counter projectile classes?

as far as the update itself, it's clear they're trying to push pyros to use their flamethrower to burn more, instead of just airblasting and switching to the secondary to do all their damage with it. I would love that idea if the flamethrower was overhauled as said in other comments, but like this, they're rewarding W+M1, which I don't like, as well as making the obvious flaws and weird network behaviour with the flamethrower more evident (try being a pyro with 20 ping compared to say 80...)

Since a LG flamethrower is unlikely I would be happy with some bug fixes to the one we have, so it's a little bit less dumb.

(btw the update is not a nerf to pyro at all, so no hopes and dreams are ruined unless you can't adapt your precious muscle memory)

that feel when you will never jump a combo and perfectly aim the medic to death with a LG type of weapon :(

a bit of a hard bump, but I'd rather not make a new thread entirely to throw this out there:

I assumed it was already well-known, but considering reddit's flipping out over the idea I guess nobody fully realized how worthless pyro's flames are for visual info
