Why does heavy counter pyro?

Today I played in a ctf match (woah!) for the first time in a long while. I was supposed to play ninja and stuff but ended up on pyro. So I'm playing and like, buffed heavies 2 shot me when I can only 3 shot it? Like wtf riot- i mean brawl stop ruining the game. Anyway I found myself running from the heavy when i should be chasing it. Now now I know pyro has frenzy but honestly, I'm dead before I can even get it 1v1ing a buffed heavy. Heavy counters pyro because anyone that knows how to crit can kill a pyro as heavy better than a ninja can.

Now, now, so I don't get yelled at from complaining and whining, I have to say suggestions!!! First of all, if we are looking to "preserve" heavy as the tank of the game and keep it as vanilla as possible, we have to remove buffs. That's right, I said it. Now, chemist should still be able to buff themselves, but honestly, if anything is gonna get changed at all, removing them is the way to go. You see the current "meta" ctf has is play anything with iron or diamond armor, get buffs, and win the game. If we remove buffs from the game, it will completely change everything! Which is kind of what we need, especially with upcoming class reworks, and I'll get to that later.

A counter-argument I will get rid of quickly is that "buffs encourage teamwork", when it, ironically, does the opposite. You see soldiers and heavies with buffs don't need teamwork, because them by themselves is enough to get by without total support from the team

Another way, which I'm sure people will disagree with, is to nerf heavy directly. By nerf I mean any sort of possibilities, from reducing it's armor, changing the sword to iron, giving it slowness, etc. But this doesn't fix anything because everything else is getting buffs and will just make heavy useless which is what we don't want.

Now, why does this matter, and what does it have to do with the upcoming class reworks? Well, now that necro is reworked, and soon to be dwarf I assume, I'm sure we are all excited to possibly see it being played in matches. Well if this ctf "meta" (sorry its just hard to think of ctf actually having a meta) keeps as it is, there's not gonna be any room for it. Teams have already begun making beefier defenses churning out heavies and soldiers on defense. Which... if continues... will turn into a FULL TANK META AND NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF GAMES LIKES THOSE.

TL;DR: buffs should be removed from the game don't complain look at my reasoning and stop being lazy ****wit.

 

through this thread i said that chemist was the problem, and its buffs. And as much as I do want pyro's instakill back, it will never happen so it's hopeless to argue that.

I don't think there is any nerfing that can be done to the buffs. Strength 1 and Speed 1 is the minimum. And removing 1 or the other won't actually change much.

What is there to buff to counter this strategy? I do like with the whole "just buff everything and nothing will be op" mindset, but there's nothing we can buff to counter this. Pyro can not be buffed effectively without another complete rework to counter this, these classes are already a counter to ninja, and assassin is straight up situational.
