I think the Dragon's Fury and the Gas Passer are some of the worst Pyro weapons, why are they banned in 6's?

Dragon Fury - Banned (Unchanged)
The weapon itself does have a larger range than the base flamethrower and its projectiles don't match their visual. The reduced airblast rate is a significant downside and its overall damage does match to the other flamethrowers (Although this might be because they seem bugged). But with the Pyro class already changing a lot as well, together with new Pyro weapons that haven't seen competitive play yet, we will keep this banned.

gas passer can be thrown through thin walls but is otherwise shit, it's something that's either inconsequential or stupidly broken

whitelist hasnt been revised since the mini balance update recently

If the dragon's fury still kills fps that may be a consideration but we in competitive tf2 particularly enjoy banning weapons for no significant reason.

The Dragon's Fury was terrible, is now even more terrible, and should not be banned. Not that it matters anymore because it's completely useless.

They are banned because they were bugged las time the whitelist was reviewed. The DF had a projectile hitbox that was so big, it hit players behind the pyro, and the Gas passer sometimes went trough walls
