>mfw realizing you can right click while detonator jumping
>mfw SPEED
>mfw my entire life i thought this weapon was a meme
holy shit you can almost rollout as fast as demo
it's probably somewhere around the speed soldier can rollout if it's well optimized
only 2-4 second difference between pyro and demo

still not worth -25% damage and weak ass minicrits

That's just self damage, which for a rollout won't be too big a deal if you get a buff at the start (like I did)
The most significant effect that pyro can have, no matter what the situation, is hitting effective airblasts. Trying to play him otherwise (especially in an open environment like a mid) will just lead you to getting killed if you're against a team that works together in the slightest. Pyro just isn't good at doing damage, don't ever put yourself in that mindset that going pyro for damage in 6s.
There's also the mindgame aspect to it, I'm sure that it could throw off people, make them panic, make them tunnelvision, etc. Even if the pyro doesn't end up doing much, the roamer and scouts could take advantage of this and throw the enemy team off while they're distracted.
The fact that he "has no rollout" (which from what I demonstrated is false even if its slightly slower than demo and possibly soldier) is probably the biggest reason he doesn't ever go mid, on top of him being a weak class in general. Managing a good Det. rollout would eliminate one of the reasons that make pyro a bad mid-class, so in my eyes that's progress to making pyro somewhat less shit.

>xd dancing medic dont pop it drop it lOL XDDD

kill yourself

wrong gif, tard.

no it's not, you're thinking +50% damage to self
it actually has a -25% damage penalty

Ok i was wrong on the number of self-damage, does that negate everything else I said? Did you even read it?
My biggest point is that the current optimal way to play pyro isn't to play him as a damage dealer and that his airblast is his best weapon. How does having a weak secondary change that?

because lets say that there are soldiers and demos who are smart enough not to use any fucking projectiles
what does the pyro do now?

Pressure the scouts with the detonator, protect the med from harm, support his team
The roamer can't bomb the med without rockets, and a good pyro can melt scouts no problem. Hypothetically, a pyro could prevent the first two stickies from a kritzed demo from killing anyone, the first with an airburst det and the second from an airblast, but that's just theorycrafting

Ok lets take this hypothetical situation literally.
>roamer and demo don't shoot
>pocket has to get in close range to do damage now (which is hard to do while protecting the med)
>half the enemy team rendered weak
And you're saying this is a bad thing? Remember that there are 4 other players on his team that can deal damage way better than he can.
If anyone was actually dumb enough to not shoot at a pyro at all because theyre THAT paranoid of airblast, the mindgames have already won over them. Seriously, (You) didn't even read my post.
Either way, that situation is kinda rediculous and I can't see it happen; but if it were to happen it would still be in the pyro's team's favor. You'd be surprised how just being lit on fire can tick some players off real bad.

Nice vid.

In a rather jarred environment like 6s, Pyro only would be there to escort Engineer imo. Flanking wouldn't be your thing. You don't have enough distraction to make flanking effective at all

Not the same user you replied.
>Demos
>no projectile
So, Demoknight or Knighthybrid?
>what does the pyro do now?
Obviously Detonator won't be a good answer unless you can keep the high ground advantage. I'd either take Shotgun for a face-off or Scorch Shot to disorient them then.

When do I get an unusual

You missed them at the latest event.

I never said anything about also bringing engineer to mid which is even worse an idea than pyro to mid. I never said anything about flanking either.
>I'd either take Shotgun for a face-off or Scorch Shot to disorient them then.
If you don't det. rollout you'll get there way to slow to have an impact and be pretty much useless. It would be almost a 5v6 at that point.

When you waste $400, get lucky, or just spend the money you would have spent on opening crate to just buy keys to buy unusuals.

God this feels miles more enjoyable then pressing W+3.

r8 and h8

as far as unusuals go, it's a not horrible effect on a meh hat.
rest is cancer

I'm actually surprised how not autistic that looks. I think the lack of neon paint, and antlers or goggles really helps.

You mean to tell me that the modest fell from it's position as "best all-class unusual after the crone dome"? I remember them always being ridicolously overpriced

Well... then it's more obvious that I'm bad at 6s mindgames.

I'm not into the unusual market, I don't really care for them. Or skins, sheens, and australiums, for that matter.
It's just my layman opinion on what I see. I just realized an all-class unu is probably a big deal, yeah, but my opinion still stands.

If i remember right, a sunbeams modest went for almost 20 buds back at their peak. That's 27 keys per bud, btw

to the people into that, you probably look like a guy who can spend a lot of money on hats, which I guess is the point
but to me you look like a guy with a not horrible unusual effect on a meh hat, on a cancer sniper

Just had this game on 2fort where the enemy team had a hacker and they refused to kick him. My team eventually grouped together and one or two people would sacrifice themselves so that others could pass and try to make their way to the hacker. Unfortunately, we still had to deal with the medics overhealing the hacker plus the whole enemy team. We lost, but the teamwork was 10/10.

Anyway, fuck this game and fuck Valve.

nigga just go FoS heavy, snipers can't touch you

No Vaccinator?

if you leave the game when someone is hacking, you will rejoin a different game without a hacker

>feeding hackers and hacker-enabling teams
fuck off
report, tell everyone else to report, and then leave the server.

Why is everyone in here when this thread was made an hour earlier and is practically unused?

looks like shit thrown together

this is tf2 not a naruto x sanic fan fiction
leave your terrible ironic fanfics there

What?

prove it

No.
Fuck off.

you didn't draw mine (assuming you didn't like it) but it makes me happy you won't draw that one, its trash

What?

you dont sound like him
you sound like an IMPOSTOR

you can prove youre not an impostor by drawing my scout

This thread was created first t b h

>haha let's just remove scout's cap and put glasses on
You realizing that your shitty loadout not worth drawning? Okay, here's your scout, now fuck off.

you shouldnt have drawn it at all

What's the most satisfactory kind of kill /tf2g/?
I'd say a reflected rocket kill or a matador stab

I do whatever the fuck i want to.

>draws
>complains how my scout's gimmick is having no hat

what

you are either seriously fucking retarded or still pretending
i could have made that in paint

calm it my dude

This one time on 2fort I ran around with an smg, firing single shots at people like I was playing csgo. One guy was confused why I was doing it. I was just having fun.

ur lucky ur weren't having fun playing dota2.

>i'm better to post random reaction pic

oh yeah I have fun with dota 2 sometimes when I get tired of being in first person

I tried queuing for competitive, even though it said there were quite a few people locally also queued I never ended up in a game. Waited 20 or so minutes and then gave up waiting. Is this a glitch or what?

Fem scout when? Why am I getting exposed to such bullshit like animu scouts and friendly heavies with animu objectors?

Animu scout is 正義

no fuck off
females dont belong in videogames
they dont add anything to they game
more time and resources are spent into making unnecessary models that could go into making the actual game

all they do is bring thirsty beta degenerates and artists who feed off of them

boobs use more polygons = poorer game performance

You're the reason why oversnitch faggotry risen.

>females dont belong in videogames
im not into futas

...

I'd say a nice chain of 15 damage pistol shots

You got it right with the reflect kill. Especially out of the air
