Why pyro is currently unbalanced

Oh, alright then, ignore that. I mean as Pyro I oftan times win against Medics with no help. But I see what your saying.

Carry on

 

!00% agree @Miskey , ninjas nerf also affected chemists. Makes it literally impossible to kill one since it takes 4 shots total to reduce its health to 0%. Plenty of time to react to that. Note, it used to be three (just like how it is with pyro at the moment).

 

Why pyro is unbalanced:

Reason 1:
It is a pyro

Reason 2:
No, seriously, it's a pyro

Reason 3:
Why are you still reading? 1 and 2 should have convinced you.

 

22 reasonable posts in a row about pyro's balance... I'm impressed. xD

 

I break combos as a hobby.

 

If we really need a counter for pyro then why not make it maybe 4-5 shot insta-kill** for someone with fire resis who is burning? If you have fire resistance its kinda crappy that even though you're not burning, you can still get one-shotted by a pyro. Just an idea, pls don't hate on meh


**(also in the 1.9 update there is a certain Recharge for different tools [i.e pic, sword, axe, etc.] which would make spam clicking with a pyro's axe less of a problem if it takes a few hits to kill someone with fire resis)

 

On a more serious note, Pyro's not the biggest priority right now. While it is entirely worth discussing ways to fix pyro, it becomes irrelvant when your fixes exist to fit a CTF that's no longer the same way.

The issue is, nearly every class needs a rebalance, and the only real ways to do that are to either shut down CTF for a few months while things get worked on, or change everything up at once. Otherwise, everything is likely to be a clusterf*ck for a while as each class gets updated.

So, instead of all agreeing with eachother that pyro's broken (because most of us know it's broken), why not begin a discussion about what needs to change in CTF to accomodate a new set of classes?
