Pyro Nerf

Yes

 

It did get nerfed, I am not too sure what happened but I am pretty sure now you attack players until you get a full XP bar in which you can go into frenzy mode and deal insane amounts of damage to players who are on fire.

 

Regular hits when the enemy is on fire now deal true damage (3.5 hearts), hits with frenzy (as mentioned above) now deal double true damage (7 hearts).

There were subsequent nerfs later on which reduced the amount of time an enemy is lit on fire when shot with a bow (flint remained unchanged) and a cooldown was introduced on the usage of Flint and Steel so that it can no longer be spammed.

There are planned buffs which slightly increase the pyro's armour whilst slightly reducing the amount of steak available (I think).

 

Tristana is now meta and you should feel happy.

Personally, I think Pyro is fine right now, and I also think their recovery mechanic is better than it used to be. But that's a personal opinion. If there are planned buffs and nerfs to steak number, it just seems like a balance - eachother - out change?

 

another reason was because instakills were "bad" and needed to be "removed" we later realized that they are essential otherwise the gamemode quickly becomes broken af

 

I was always happy
Against, say, a medic then yeah total healthpool is unchanged. But against a ninja especially (potentially chemist and buffed heavy also), it means the pyro doesn't have to be steaking as much to stay alive, and reduces the chances that a pyro dies whilst still having steak remaining. Overall its nothing huge, just a nice little tweak imo.
