The only reason I had to fear the pyro was his flamethrower, along with this most pyros are not good enough with their shotty to get a direct hit on a scout that is dancing around him. And at the same time most scouts aren't good enough with their scattergun to kill the pyro in the 2 shots.(let alone wait for the pyro to pull out his secondary so they can rush him down.) So pyro vs scout will end in favor of the more experienced. But in equal skill situations a scout has a huge advantage. This was already the case in experienced 6v6 matches, but now the pyro has had his odds put down even further.

If your team chooses to run a Pyro offensively, be absolutely sure that the Pyro is safe from roaming enemies. Having a Scout partner with the Pyro can help keep the Pyro alive, but be aware that in doing so, the Scout is unable to put his excellent flanking talents to use elsewhere.
