We all know that Afterburn is a simple mechanic from fire damaging weapons. Very unsignificant mechanic and not very usefull since it can be denied by many things, like healthpacks, medics and friendly pyros.
Bleed is a simmilar story, but I prefer bleed because bleed does more damage in a less time, unlike the afterburn that does less damage in more time. It gets a little hard to explain so first I have to explain how Afterburn works. So afterburn does 3 damage a tick (instead of calling it "a tick" I'm going to call it "a time"; so Afterburn does 3 damage a time) and Afterburn damages 2 times a second (so 6 damage a second). For the Degreaser the Afterburn does 1 damage a time so 2 damage a second. Also the afterburn lasts for 10 seconds. The bleed does 5 damage a time and hits 2 times a seconda, also the bleed lasts 5 seconds.

>>Now for the Afterburn buff!<<

Idea 1: Afterburn's damage rises over time. So the stats!:
-Flamethrower's Afterburn: The first 3 seconds of afterburn do 3 damage a time like normal, then the following 3 seconds afterburn does 5 damage a time and then for he following 4 secondsafterburn does 7 damage a time. So let's do the maths:
3x2x3+5x2x3+7x2x4=18+30+56=99 total damage. This idea isn't focusing on dealing the full damage, but punishing players that don't take care of afterburn fast, becoming a problem the more time you are under it's effect. I really like this idea since it makes players have to multitask, something that is very important in tf2.
-Degreaser: I explained in-depht how the mechanic works so this time I'm going to make it fast. First 3 seconds > 1 dmg/a time; following 3 seconds > 3 dmg/a time; last 4 seconds > 5 dmg/a time. 1x2x3+3x2x3+5x2x4=6+18+40=64 total afterburn damage.
With this change I also think the Degreaser should get a buff in it's switch from/to speed and maybe also make the axetnguisher's switch to speed nerf a little less cruel, from 75% slower to 40% slower (like let's not meek the weapon total shit). Also since most flamethrowers are used to flame a bit, airblast and combo with a weapon, so let's make that flame at the beggining worse because we buff the afterburn. Let's add a thing like the minigun where you must be firing for 1 second of lower damage and then do the full damage. On the flamethrowers (all of them) the 1st second of firing should do a max of 20 damage (pretty small but needed in my opinion).

Idea 2: Make the afterburn strike 3 times a second. I can't really decide whitch idea is better so you chose in the comments!
Let's do the math now:
flamethrower: 3x3x10=60 damage
degreaser: 1x3x10=30 damage
A blatant buff that doesn't make any difference besides the damage (this is why I like the 1st idea more since it has some mind games behind it)

>>Now the bleed<<
Both ideas are going to be taken from the afterburn so I'll make it quick since this is big already:

1st idea: Bleed does more damage over time:
First 3 seconds it deals 5 damage a time and the following 2 seconds it deals 7 damage a time. 5x2x3+7x2x2=30+28=58 damage total. Again the bleed getting more worriful as time passes so I prefer this.

2nd idea: Bleed strikes 3 times a second:
3x5x5=3x25=75 damage total. Blatant damage buff.

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me till the end! I wouldn't read something this long myself!
Tell me what you think about afterburn and bleed!
