AWKWARD ZOMBIE

A pyro can only airblast you 10 times if they are using the degreaser or normal flamethrower and are at max ammo. They probably won't be at max ammo. If they keep you in the air for that long you shoot them with your gun until they die or run away, or airstrafe and escape.

Also there are others on your team that will not hesitate to sideswipe the poor beanie into the next galaxy.

Are we bitching about Pyros again? Goody!



Tail Roaster - Backburner: 2886 Kills, 11 Cloaked spy kills, 184 Allies Extinguished.
Annoying & Distracting - Detonator: 93 Kills, 1 Snipers Killed
+5 Warhammer of Friendship - Homewrecker: 123 Kills, 43 Sappers Removed

Forgot about the preview button.

I tend to focus on assisting Engineers and extinguishing key players (Medics, Engis, Anyone capping/conveniently on fire) and, naturally, spy checking. I'm not fancy with the airblast. Just one that puts out fires. Although, when I do airblast kill someone, it's nice to imagine their face when they realize I've been using a Backburner.

As much as I love STAR, what does that video have to do with the current discussion?

Piroos

Airblasting is the best thing. I pushed a Demo into a Soldier's kamikaze taunt today and it was beautiful. :'>

He did well as Pyro.
Didn't use any of the aforementioned tactics.
Switch to another class because Pyro wasn't good for the situation.

Without the airblast the Pyro would:
Not be able to extinguish teammates
Not be able to reflect rockets or other projectiles
Not be able to defend himself from any form of long range attacks
Have no use outside running and gunning
Be incapable of countering a Uber in any way

If your reason for thinking the Pyro is overpowered is because of the airblast, you need to learn to shoot people while in midair because it's really not too hard to counter a juggling Pyro. I've done it as a Pyro before.

God fucking help me.....



I just bought another rocket launcher to level up. This'll be my third RL to get to Hale's Own. Should I see someone about this?

Uh he was just dicking around man.
Also it's STAR in a pub, he'd do well with any loadout (market gardener anyone?).

Can I interest you in a S. Beggars Bazooka?

Pyros? Why not. This when not Flarejockey; I've been told it's an angry-looking setup, and I'm okay with that.



I kinda feel like I'm not really on the bandwagon since I didn't go higgledy-piggledy with Stranges and Nametags, but oh well.

Rainblower because I always love getting assists from the C. Conscience.
Flare Gun currently has 202 kills, only got it recently.
Lollichop because whatever. It often gets switched out for the Backscratcher.

In reference to the surprisingly spirited if roundabout discussion recently, the answer to all life's problems involving Pyros has always been "shoot the Pyro".

Are we doing loadouts?

Here's mine (sans Heavy because I whoopesed
