I killed tons of w+m1ers, yet I still complained about it.

I turned into a w+m1 pyro because I had to switch to the backburner.

What has valve done?

So I played pyro today.

Don't get me wrong in this thread, I'm not saying the pyro is ruined as in WORSE

I'm saying he now needs to consistently use the airblast to do any good. Which isn't cool, because that mechanic wasn't even in the game at first. He's a pyro, he uses fire.

Backburner pyros are still terrible too, so the issue isn't the fire, it's just the ability for the class to engage combat.

I reflected a random directhit rocket right into a campy sniper on the other side of the map, he had full health and he got instagibbed as I expected.

I was using the backburner and I was doing amazing.

I don't think that the backburner is a useless weapon, now, as it was the people using it were just useless.

enemies were bad or you ambushed correctly

pick one

If by ambush you mean jumped right in the middle of and suicided whilst burning half of them to death, then YES.

The problem though, is that the airblast is really only effective as a combat weapon against two classes: soldiers and demos. So against all other classes the pyro is suddenly rather weak.

[Hell-met]

I forgot about that

scouts are having fun now

got to retreat or wait for them, although I always did it that way

2 shotting pyros has never been so easy!
