We got one real pyro update and another that was supposed to be all about Pyro and instead gave us the disappointing Meet The Pyro, the cancer that was pyroland, a one-off gamemode, and weapons that were better for every other class than Pyro. Sniper got Hitman Heatmaker, Scout got the Baby Face Blaster, and Soldier got the Beggar's Bazooka. You know what Pyro got? Another fucking flaregun, and two reskins of stock weapons that both look like shit and 99% of all players will see as stock weapons because pyrovision is cancer.

Heavy is functional
Pyro is not.
The choice is obvious.

Pyro has been nerfed so many times, I'm not sure what Valve wants them to do at this point other than spy checks.
With competitive, NOONE picks spies, playing Spy would be a disadvantage as competitive promotes team communication. A spy would be a wasted slot. Pyro is the second worst class in the fucking game right now.

Pyro in it's current state is not functional in competitive play, whereas the heavy is.

>>344685972
unfortunately his class is just designed to capitalize on chaos and lack of focus, and in competitive you have a drought on both. The scout is in a similar boat but he also has an actual gun that doesn't shoot marshmallows so he can compensate just by gitting gud. I can't think of any balance to the spy to make him viable in comp without causing serious balance issues.
>>
>>344686169
I don't get it. How is Heavy more functional than pyro? Airblast alone gives pyro something invaluable, heavy is only good to tank some damage (with a medic behind him) and dps in the short-mid range. Demos and soldiers can take down nests better, seriously what can heavy do that another class can't do better? I don't understand how can someone say pyro is worse than heavy. That said I never played or spectated comp so there's that
>>
if the only thing the entirety of the Pyro update notes said was "changed axtinguisher to pre-nerf status" then I would be satisfied. Puff and sting may have been simople but its the only bastion of skill Pyro had, and frankly I just don't think any class with a flamethrower could actually be any more complex anyways.

he's already got flare jumps and the powerjack boost, but from what I've seen nobody actually flare jumps and people only use the powerjack because he has no other decent melee options.

He's not seen in comp because he's very situational and relies on being unexpected. On a team of 6 or even 9, he's pretty expected once he gets that first kill or gets called out. He's the same as Heavy, Engi, or Pyro in that regard.

Will try next time, thanks. It was hard getting into a decent positioning, though, most of the time I fought on flat ground, and the only moment I could get a height advantage was when I rocket jumped on him, but he reflected the rockets away, and flare-punched me most of the time.

Scout has no range and his damage is only good if you have good aim.
He takes advantage of speed to get in and out.

Pyro can do this too if he is boosted faster.
His damage and range would be fine if he had the means to get in.

No
Y'know what broke the sentry nest? A soldier flanking.
Y'know what defended the payload? A demoman.
Y'know what broke through the enemy front line? A medic.
Literally the only spot Heavy is good is in spots where sentries can't be built quick enough and sticky bombs can't delay the enemy on their own, so like some points you could find on cp_steel and similar. That's it.

In comp a Pyro stays fully operational at full running speed instead of slowed way down, and his airblast is more defensive than anything else in the Defense category. He's a skill based orbiting shield for medics.

Yes he does have you ever actually seen his shotgun spread? He can still land every pellet from around 40~50 ft. There is a reason why high level scouts are so terrifying.

No he doesn't because flamethrower range is not only inconsistent but also pretty short and does damage over time rather than all at once which is a crucial difference.

Seriously, most of the cast are using projectiles, and Sniper doesn't get it. If you remove spread but it doesn't matter for shit because of damage fall-off, why not reverse that?

Y'know, like the common sense most shooters use?

Just about the only spot it makes sense is pyro's flamethrower cos it disperses, but the fire doesn't expand fast enough nor reach far enough.

At the same distance rockets and stickies are only going to be doing 40 damage which he can easily shrug off. Heavy is a defense class, the enemy comes to him not the other way around.

What does anything else you mentioned have to do with heavy? He has a niche and he's good at it. He is the best at holding ground, protecting support classes, denying bombers, and drawing fire. He also has the benefit on not needing to reload and instant damage where a demo or soldier may struggle against spread out enemies heavy does not.

I figured this would happen from the start. Doesn't help that two of Heavy's weakest weapons had their buffs reverted this update, and damage ramp-up, the DUMBEST change to Heavy that has no reason to exist, still hasn't been removed.
I still have no idea why they decided to make you need to start firing for a solid second to have full damage and accuracy, on top of needing to spin up and moving at a crawl while you do so.

>>344699679

Literally making excuses to avoid fun, when they picked up Dota and overcome such "shit's boring" problems with significant balance overhauls every couple of months.

It is very easily possible to make it work instead of just having a stupid amount of falloff that gimps everyone outside of "literally anyone else can fight effectively at this range why did you pick this guy" range.
>>
>>344699761
Because spinning used to take longer
>>
>>344699967

What if, here's an idea, what if, get this, what if...

Spy didn't need to backstab to do worthwhile damage? What if just getting behind them was sufficient to pull off some serious damage?
After riding the teleporter to appear right inside the enemy sentry nest that is.
>>
>>344700060
I don't mind spin-up, if that took a little longer in exchange for not having to shoot at a wall just be sure I can hit the enemy team with more than a cough, I'd take it.

>>344698775
Removing damage falloff would greatly increase Heavy's effective range.

It would also do the same for Scout and Scout is already the top class in high level TF2 by a wide margin.

And how do you suggest they do that? CSGO levels of RNG where every gun is annoying and unreliable?

Also if everyone is gimped by falloff then is it really an issue? The only class who ignores falloff is sniper and he's cancer anyway.
>>
>>344700258

I'd reduce the effective damage of meat shots then.
He needs crita-cola to do what he does now.
Likewise his unlocks provide specialisations for him with some minor reworks, like bonk lasting much longer so he can fuck with their lines of fire or Guillotine/Wrapping/Sandman aren't so weak.

No damage falloff means even with less damage he can now be harder to hit by staying at medium range while flanking to harass harder without basically gibbing people compared to actual damage dealers.

>>344700452

It's a big issue when falloff isn't used well and some classes are actually gimped, not all of them - which is something I've never said, as I said most people have projectiles which shouldn't really be affected; demoman pills for instance being his main threat for dealing with most targets.

Scout and Spy are pretty similar.
It's a trade-off between one-hit kills and dealing with sentries versus better mobility and two-hit kills.
Both are pick classes, which have strong ability to get behind enemy lines and do damage.

So you don't want at least half of the players to keep maining the easiest class in the game?

You actually want some balance in the game?
