Nah he's fine.
Preorder Overwatch instead
>Fixed the Pyro
Fucking how?
What did they do to pyro?
He is fine. He can make soldiers die/retreat if he can aim.
Tf2 teams a bunch of retards for listenting to whomever said "buff the vac".
>>321332809
which is weird because Heavy is literally the face of TF2(in that he's the biggest meme character in and out of the game)
Kill his pocket medic, then him

+50% damage at range, +20 health on airblasting teammates who are on fire, needed the degreaser
>valve fixed the pyro
so he's viable in 6v6 and more people are playing pyro in regular games?
>>321333837
The 50% damage extra is the biggest part

why don't they just shrink the flamethrowers cone and increase the damage? Give it at least a little aim required.
>>321334208
Getting close to do damage takes skill. You have to dodge rockets and gunshots, airblast actually removes skill and rewards running straight at the enemy
>>321334208
>puff and sting
>skill
Found the pyro main
>>321334320
Yeah I know, but that post I replied to implied pyro takes no skill
>>321334367
then why can't redittors do it
>>321334459
>then why can't redittors do it
Because redditors are shit at the game desu
I feel like a beaten housewife
I thought I was finally done with playing TF2 forever and then they bring out a balance patch that fixes all of my issues and brings back contracts
>>321334536
yeah, they lack the skill
reading comprehension is also a skill
>valve fixed the pyro
>pulls engie out of the trash and throws him in the fire
>>321333837
It's not a 50% increase. It's more along the lines of a 17% increase.
The fall-off percentage of all flame throwers was increased from 60% to 70%.
>Anno Domini MMXVI
>Playing TF2
Why?
>>321333837
>Buffed the flamethrower but not the backburner
It's shit
>>321332809
>nerf degreaser
>buff phlog
What in the fuck is this shit man.
>>321335167
all flamethrowers got that buff, nigger
only the degreaser got a nerf by doing even less afterburn
>>321335267
I just checked the wiki and it doesn't have that buff listed in the changelog or on the damage tables
>>321332809
I wish he got weapons other than miniguns. He's fucking Heavy Weapons Guy not Minigun Guy.
Hey guys my name is Johny no-swears and i am allergic to swears. Could we please keep this thread free of swears so that I can read it? Thanks!
All the best, jimmy no-swears! x
>>321335319
Flamethrowers across the board got less falloff, it isn't listed for the backburner because it wasn't a backburner buff but a Flamethrower buff that carries over to all weapons whose stats are based off of it
>>321335236
>the phlog got buffed
when will this meme end? The only thing that changed is that it now has visible invincibility during taunt instead of the 90% damage resistance it has before (i.e. just as well invincible). The only thing that means is that you now can't backstab taunting phlog pyros
>Stock Scout will never get fucked over
Feels good to live.
>>321335553
Removing 10% damage penalty wasn't a buff?
>>321335521
Like a rocket launcher? Or a grenade launcher? Maybe a flamethrower or something
>>321335728
Degreaser got that too so what's your point
>>321332809
Heavy is fine, if not broken on pubs. Literally just positioning: the class.
Pholg buff tho, what the fuck was valve thinking?
>>321335803
My point was in my original post.
It's up to you to figure that one out because it was plain as day.
>Half the classes take RNG or a Medic to work right.Not including Pyro
>The other half take pure skill.Not including pyro
>All classes don't take skill as a whole like it should.
Why is this even a thing?
>>321335902
whatever cunt, phlog is still the worst flamer by far and if you can't find the S key on your keyboard the moment one of them taunts in your face you should just uninstall
People bitching about the "buffed" phlog being overpowered is the #1 way to spot shitters right now
>>321335669
Stock anything won't get fucked idiot no shit
>>321336152
the statement, "This weapon has been made better" is not inaccurate when it is applied to the phlog.
>fixed the pyro
>leave heavy in the dumpster
>whole game is already in the dumpster
Fixing chairs on the titanic.
People act too much like pyro is an attacking class all the time. Do you expect engineers to handle themselves extremely well in a fight without their sentry?
Pyro is a support class and should've have been built that way, except he had all these retarded attacking tools like the extinguisher, so he kind of just does nothing. Pyro is an effective class when it spy checks, protects medics, and shuts down soldiers and demomen. Stop trying to kill everyone with it.
I've used the stock Flamethrower for 4 years and I've been fine.
>>321336448
To a point where it barely matters, it's still the worst flamer by far
and while deg getting nerfed wasn't that necessary, the fact that I now actually take a moment to think about what flamer I want to use other than autoselecting degreaser is definitely a good thing
>like playing pyro
>think that puff n sting is a stupid way to play the class
the only thing I need to be good at pyro is a detonator for flarejumping and the rest can be stock
>>321336632
This is so cancerous it doesn't make me butthurt but impressed.
>>321336554
>People act too much like pyro is an attacking class all the time.
Offensive class designed to fulfill the offensive role.
Reminder that if you don't roll Flamethrower/Backburner, Shotgun, and Homewrecker you're playing a shitty Pyro
>>321336632
>>321336554
Pyro was made to be the best CQC class in a game where 90% of fights is CQC resulting in valve not being able to make him best in what he's supposed to be best at
So now the pyro is just kind of nothing, useless in 6s and the janitor in HL, where he is only played because that format requires you to always have a pyro
He's fine in pub though since he's alright at DMing and spam which is all that matters there
>>321336554
That's the issue, though. Valve designed several characters around certain roles, but some of those characters suck at those roles. Heavy and Demo are much better when used offensively, Pyro is a defensive support class, etc.
People see the Pyro and want to go burn stuff, but you can't go burn stuff because burning is shit and loses to everything.
