No it really isn't. Puff and Sting was bullshit but it's still far and beyond better then W+M1. I do like the 20+ health tho, but Phlog needs a rework as well as Pyro himself. There's still something missing and I can't put my finger on it.

"W+M1" is an excuse used by shitters for thinking the basic function of the Pyro is a bad one. The Phlog does that: being rewarded for diving into big groups of enemies and making them retreat is what the original Pyro was meant to do. Now that fire has gotten a bazillion ways of getting rid of it since, the killing power for that kind of playstyle needed to be upped, which is exactly what the Phlog does. It's a good weapon, fits the class and has very major drawbacks. I kind of get that it looks dumb, but positioning yourself well to make full use of something like this can be a harder task than the pretty braindead puff and sting Pyro play that you see around now anyway.

If you want to complain about something, complain about how it takes away the sentry-protecting and extinguishing abilities from the Pyro, which is a detriment to teammates.

Yes, but it's fucking W+M1 pyro buffing.
>>
>>320668660
Vanilla Pyro was always the weakest class though. It was easy killing one thats running straight for you and the excuse of it being an "ambush" class doesn't work when almost every class with the exception of Sniper can easily kill you when ambushing. It promotes a playstyle that takes little skill and others can do slightly better, until the airblast and even then they're many replacements for it.

I meant this, though:

>bad
>>
>>320669335
He was weak as fuck, but that was more due to him barely doing any damage. Still though, at least in vanilla people panicked with a Pyro around because there were very few ways (just medics, dispensers, and healthpacks) to get rid of fire. That changed completely over time, almost every class has something against him now.

And ambushing takes skill, TF2 is a very position based game and actually getting into someone's grill with the little range you have should get you rewards when you're playing the Pyro, because he's meant to be the best CQC class, in the same way getting behind someone as a Spy or getting above someone with the Soldier should rewards those classes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It really wasn't unless you were a shitter who didn't know how to go backwards. Pyro was never very strong during release except maybe the original backburner days.

Actual legitimate problem with puff n sting: It pretty much pigeonholes pyro into a degreaser/axetinguisher loadout since it's the best CQC loadout unless the class you really wanted to play was the extinguisher or the sapper remover.

Retard's problem(the most likely reason it was nerfed both then and now): He killed me so it's bullshit, Valve! God forbid pyros have an upper hand at close quarters.

I see nothing to complain about. Niggas just play pyro wrong and they think the class sucks because they don't know what they're doing. Very much a hit and run play style. You have to try to ambush people in an almost spy like manner hence the existence of the back burner. Don't stand there like a dumbass and not expect to get killed. The people that complain about this probably have never reflected a projectile before or bothered to extinguish their teammates. They gave idiots the phlog if you don't want to help anyone and people still suck at this class. What are you guys gay or something?

Why did they nerf the targe, did they want to take away any reason to use it at all? Why nerf the Zatoichi so fucking hard? Also holy shit that axtinguisher penalty, even when the degreaser gets nerfed they balance the other weapons around it.

I can't believe they're dumbing down an already incredibly casual game. Soon Sniper won't be able to headshot, Scout will have a sprint meter that changes him to pyro speed when he's not sprinting, and Spy will backstab from all angles

You mean "free crits: the weapon"? Puff n' sting has existed since the airblast was introduced, the degreaser just made it so they had to balance EVERY secondary & melee around it.

this is the same way it was when the phlog was first introduced. it was the first nerf they did to it, mostly due to a number of exploits it enabled (both permanent uber glitching and also out-of-bounds accessing).

>>320685213
If he has booties that means he either has no projectiles or no shield. If he has no projectiles then you can take of him at range before he even gets close enough to hit you. All combat classes have an option to deal with his charge assuming he doesn't ambush you, but if he gets the drop on you then he SHOULD have an advantage with a melee only loadout.

If he doesn't have a shield then he has no way to close the distance quickly without sacrificing health, and hes even easier to deal with once he gets close.

None that can deal with him faster than he can get in melee range.
>ambush
there is a difference between having the advantage and just flat out shitting on everything instantly with less health than a heavy and THEN getting your teammates killed as well because he has full health again.

TF2 had a bittersweet ending for me.
I quit in maybe 2011 when the cancer finally became unbearable but I jewed a shitload of buds and bills before I left and cashed out with 500 bucks or so.

Demos have it the roughest I agree, but you're acting like you're helpless to do anything to him. Nade him while he's charging, sticky the ground and explode it under him, or just charge away yourself if you have a shield. You don't have to insta kill him, you just need to keep him away for a few seconds. Fuck even if he starts to get in melee range you can melee him yourself, he should be worn down from the fire you've put on him.

>None that can deal with him faster than he can get in melee range.
Rocket jump away? Stay at range as scout? Stickies/stickyjump? Burn him down as heavy? Airblast? Hell, you can even snap headshot him unless hes's using the tide turner

>there is a difference between having the advantage and just flat out shitting on everything instantly with less health than a heavy and THEN getting your teammates killed as well because he has full health again.

He had the same melee as everyone else, charge instakills are bullshit yes but the rest of the group has to deal with a charge-less demoknight. The only ones really fucked by anymore than usual are lone medic-soldier/demo pairs getting ambushed since they have to way to quickly get away or create distance without abandoning the medic, assuming they survive the charge at all

>Nade him while he's charging, sticky the ground and explode it under him, or just charge away yourself if you have a shield
How many times do I have to see this retarded argument on /v/? The only shield crippled by KB is the tide turner and even then tide turner lets him dodge, targe ignores everything but natascha and airblast.
>or just charge away yourself if you have a shield
brilliant, solve the problem with the problem

>you just need to keep him away for a few seconds.
Until what? This is a class who rolls crits every other swing, has heavy health, can charge towards or away from you at any time with no chance of escaping, and moves as fast as a medic.

No matter how you look at it demoknight is fucking obscenely powerful and the only justification is "well at least its not stickies lol"

> you can melee him yourself
He has more range than you and this is multiplied if you are backpedaling.

>He had the same melee as everyone else
No other class can immediately get in someones face, tank 300 damage, and do 200 damage crits in the span of a few seconds.

>but the rest of the group has to deal with a charge-less demoknight
weapons designed with the drawback of hurting the rest of your team for using it is is disgusting and you should be ashamed for defending it.

edit* read that last part wrong, even without charge he still just gained 300 health back and his crit chance increased.

>The only shield crippled by KB is the tide turner
shoot his feet and pop him up, knock him off course. You aren't going to just shoot him horizontally, you just need to stop him from charging directly to you

>or just charge away yourself if you have a shield
>brilliant, solve the problem with the problem
So now mobility is a problem? even though the sticky jump accomplishes the same fucking thing?

>Until what?
Until you whittle his health down?

>can charge towards or away from you at any time
No, if he just charged at you he cant charge again or charge away. He has one shot and if you shouldn't let him get two.

>He has more range than you and this is multiplied if you are backpedaling.
If you're meleeing him you won't be backpedaling. and did he really have more range before or are you just assuming it because the eyelander did? I don't really know.

>No other class can immediately get in someones face, tank 300 damage, and do 200 damage crits in the span of a few seconds.
Neither can the demo without getting a kill, and now you're saying other classes cant crit with their melees?

>weapons designed with the drawback of hurting the rest of your team for using it is is disgusting and you should be ashamed for defending it.
lol, k, it just seems like you're asshurt cause cant deal with it. And doesn't hurt the rest of your team, you're creating space for them to move in while you're getting the other team to panic. Unless you mean hurts your team for DYING to it, in which case the soldier banners, eyelander, ubersaw, phlog(which is bullshit), big earner, frontier justice, tide-turner(which is also bullshit) all exist too.

>shoot his feet and pop him up, knock him off course
What actually happens, demoknight goes flying into your face. But yes im sure it's very easy to sweetspot something that moves faster than a bfb scout.

>even though the sticky jump accomplishes the same fucking thing?
Stickyjump costs half a demomans health, charges are free and booties adds more on top of that.

>He has one shot and if you shouldn't let him get two.
He will rarely need two. Either he charges away when he starts losing, or gets his crit and he wins.

>Neither can the demo without getting a kill
Booties or charge lets him get in range instantly, and he can't be killed with anything less than 3 projectiles effectively giving him heavy health.

>and now you're saying other classes cant crit with their melees?
His range and speed give him a large advantage in a melee fight. Lag compensation not included his swords already have more range than your melee weapon, when lag compensation is taken into account the faster the player is moving the further ahead the server predicts he will be effectively giving him more range.

>If you're meleeing him you won't be backpedaling.
Do you not understand TF2's melee system? Players walk in and out to try hit the enemy without getting hit in return. It is not that straightforward. The more reliable option is to stay out of range and shoot him but that is no longer available with booties.

>and did he really have more range before or are you just assuming it because the eyelander did? I don't really know.
As far as I know all swords share the range bonus but the real issue here is booties. The speed is what gives him a tremendous advantage and lets him +forward into groups of enemies and never die.

>But yes im sure it's very easy to sweetspot something that moves faster than a bfb scout.
As a soldier yeah, its not really that hard. Demos are more screwed in that scenario

>Stickyjump costs half a demomans health, charges are free and booties adds more on top of that.
Charges also have a cool down, have no vertical movement, and can't cover nearly as much ground as a sticky jump can. Meanwhile that other demo has much greater control over his trajectory and can head to a healthkit or higher ground where he can deal with the demoknight at range, this a problem indoors but even junction has enough space to strafe properly.

>His range and speed give him a large advantage in a melee fight
As a melee only class I should hope so.

Listen, at this point I think we're just not going to agree. I think he SHOULD be extremely good in melee since he's sacrificing all ranged options for it. A single crit sticky or nade can do just as much damage, only those can actually be unavoidable.

I always thought the medic was the tallest.
