The pyro’s compressed air blasts rock my world.
I just wanted to get that out there.
Seriously, airblasting people off CPs, disrupting ubers, and generally just messing with people’s heads has meant that there’s just no way I’m equipping my backburner. The heavy’s managed to get in sync with your circle strafe? Not if he’s suddenly ten metres in the air he hasn’t.

n00bie51: It was irony to emphasise the overuse of commas and conjoined clauses in the post, but I see it was too subtle.

I love the Pyro for a good reason; because of the fear and guerrilla tactics I can imploy. Ambush the team, set them aflame, then scurry away before they know why half their health is gone.

We love the Pyro. You should too.

Wow. That might be the most well written post I’ve ever seen. Mad props.

Oh, by the way, some of the facial expressions on those kill shots are fantastic; they don’t seem that impressive but used in this context those are some excellent pictures.

Well, from what I’ve heard about higher-level clan play, Pyros are generally used for surprise ubers (and countering ubers) and clearing points on defense, but otherwise the four base classes are used most of the time.

While the Pyro is powerful, in smaller matches his range, coupled with the fact that he relies on ambush in matches where everyone is looking everywhere (while also being one of the classes who is nowhere near as maneuverable as the Scout, Soldier, or Demoman) means he doesn’t get used most of the time.

Not that I’d know, but that’s the impression I get from talking with some clanners.

FunkyB, your grammar is “a bit, odd;” in my opinion, that comma is not well placed.

The Soldier has definitely been made less effective against the Pyro, but I think he’s still quite good for taking them out.

After you play TF2 for a while, your fear of death from gradual burn damage eventually disappears (for me, it does). If I kill a Pyro and I’m on fire, I usually stay calm as long as I know there’s a health pack around. I shrug it off most of the times.

Also, I haven’t pugged or anything for a while, but I don’t think I see Pyros being used successfully in competitive matches just yet.

Bravo!

makes me remember the day i airblasted two heavy/medic couples off the last cap in dustbowl stage 2

right over the fence, just in time for my respawning team membersto rip all four of them to shreds, hilarious!

Tested: All classes fly exactly the same distance and trajectory from the airblast.

All classes fly just as far from the compression blast, at least that’s what I’ve been told. Any proof that scouts go further?

Did anyone else think the grammar was a bit, odd, in this post?
