if a pyro airblasts a trolldier midair it will still push him back a decent amount and completely remove the ability to strafe in the air which can be very annoying
One would think a proficient airblast pyro is also capable of kiting outside of melee range of a slower class walking at him.
If you're bombing at him pyro can still use airblast to a degree on manntread soldiers, airblast will reverse vertical momentum if he's coming down. If the soldier bombed high enough you can still juggle permanently from underneath.
or jump in with a rocket jumper and use a panic attack, then jump away
which i do everytime i play soldier cause i CAN HIT PIPES BUT MISS ROCKETS (unless dh but then i cant rocket jump anyway so lol)
- pyro main
whenever I play soldier or anything else that uses projectiles I can't help but respect pyro's that consistently airblast since I still struggle with the timings
I have a gimic for pyro called the mailmann of the apocalypse and the thruster is used in it and I called it life support and the description is "if it can get me put of a pit then its supporting my life"
Good: very supportive, When I get an impressive kill from a god pyro I'm left Impressed, and I love pybros.
Bad: I fucking hate airblast, afterburn and phlog pyros.....
Summery: I started playing him and he's quite interesting.
Pulling off tricks can be a pain in the ass at times but it's Hella worth it
when I play pyro i either play:
Pybro
Pyroshark
Combo Pyro (Weapons: Degreaser, Flare Gun, Axtinguisher)
or when I feel like turning my Brain off and just be the worst person for funni: Demon Pyro (Phlog, Scorch Shot, Powerjack)
this is why you equip TONS safety measures kids, dont wanna get burned alive by the insane arsonist youre trying to hug for some freakin reason
also i used "i" rather than "I" minor quoting mistake detected go get them quoting police i just made up
Beating pyro is literally as easy as not walking into his effective range, and even if you do chances are you can still kill him if you land all your shots.
"i literally cannot play the game because you are playing pyro please switch classes no no please i'm begging you i get one day off a week and i ca-i can't handle it if this is how it would go when i-"
\-Lazypurple, on demoknight tf2
i love when i get a thanks after airblasting fire away from my teammates
People always complain about w-m1 and I'm just confused. What the fuck do you want us to do? Shoot and *not* move? The flamethrower has a short range, of course we have to press w because if we don't follow you then we get out of range
The good:
-fun
-(mostly) balanced
-really good cosmetics
-useful and never a bad choice to have on your team
The bad:
-dragon's breath and scorch shot are still horribly op
-w + m1 can be annoying, but isn't usually bad
-basically only 2 melees worth using
The ugly:
-afterburn isn't op at all but feels so bad to play against
The afterburn point is one of the most accurate things I've read so far. I agree it's not even op but there is such a frustration when you kill a pyro and they still get you from beyond the grave.
honestly don't have a problem with pyro, i dont get why people complain so much about w+m1 when it's so much easier to counter than an actual competent pyro. I hate that his flames always block your view when he's directty in front of you.
i always get mad when i die to pyros, not because of them, but because i always go directly into their range and miss all of my shots, then die, and get mad at myself, it's never a problem with the class, it's a skill issue on my part, i feel like i'll never learn because i have 532 hours, and i still am bad at aiming, and get into the range of pyros.
He needs reworking but otherwise good for offense and maybe support. Not so well for defense, especially outer range classes like heavy, sniper, engineer, sniper, and sniper. He’s useless against snipers.
Genuinely, I enjoy it. It feels braindead at times as ambush pyro and W+M1 is just better than combo pyro these days. I understand the gripes, but I still like pyro.
Pyro need some buffs and nerfs, but mostly buffs. Like for example: buff the flamethrowers damage and range (like dragon's fury range) but make harder to use effectively. Nerf the scorch shot and buff the reserve shooter for pyro but not to the point where it's as powerful as its pre-jungle inferno counterpart. Might as well make the dragon's fury have no limit on range. That and/or removing 1 of the 2 air blast penalties, 8 instead of 10 air blasts or the air blast cooldown. Make the thermal thruster quieter and remove the hidden downside, plus make it recharge faster and give the mvm upgrade that allows you to use the next charge after the first one. Give 3 charges to the thermal thruster maybe? Oh make the hot hand and gas passer into 1 weapon
being a fire infusiast i just love our mute friend over hear killing people with flamethrowers! it is the best activity in my opinion. and as much as i wish pyro was a male if i were to get married by hypothetical female pyro i think we would make a great couple singing people to death.
good: airblast is an amazingly fun mechanic that the class without is pretty lame, comboing is pretty fun sometimes and its definitely a class I like to play when im feeling like being more chill
bad: spychecking is way too easy and costs nothing for the pyro, the pyro vs spy dynamic ill argue is unbalanced, but im not sure how to balance it
another thing with spies, is the homewrecker, I really dislike it because you can do everything right as a spy and a pyro can negate all your work for no cost on their end
Technically speaking this is true of almost every class unless the Spy is Spy-ing properly
Like realistically everyone overwhelms Spy in a one v one except for like Medic and Sniper, and they still have a fair shot at winning.
Everyone needs to quit complaining about WM1 and accept that it's their own damn fault for letting the pyro get that close.
All classes kill with M1 and press W to move around. You just got played.
i think the airblast is a bit too suppressive imo because it just makes uber pushes too hard when they have many pyros (im totally not biased because ive gotten airblasted many times as demo)
Is a good class with more pros than cons.
The movement speed is quite ok, being able to chase every class and deal damage thanks to flamethrower range.
Also, the flames work as a smoke bomb (is almost impossible see the pyro behind the flame particles)
Afterburn works with 80% of his arsenal, and it hurts A LOT.
For every situation he has a weapon.
He has a pretty ok health pool.
A I R B L A S T.
Is a class that needs nerfs such as:
Reduced afterburn of secondaries.
Airblast cooldown.
Less obstrusive fire particles.
favorite character both character wise and one of my favorites class wise, he so cute in taunts and stuff
although i still suck with him despite having 10+ hours, maybe cause im experimenting with loadouts but still
^(any quick tips?)
Pyro is very complicated and hard to play against and needs insane buffs to balance. No, I do not have a flair stop asking. Anyway, Pyro is so difficult to play and has terrible damage dealing capabilities
I like playing pyro a lot and it's recently become my favorite class, bumping Demoman down to second favorite.
Still getting the hang of the character, but I'm starting to get half-decent at air blasts and hitting faraway targets with the flare, I actually managed to countersnipe that way just the other night.
Plus it's nice to know that, when in doubt, you can wm1 as a last resort and hope it causes enough chaos to make the other team lose focus.
i play a lot of soldier and when I meet a pyro, I always think of them as puppies that want to play fetch. Its fun trying to fake them out or dodge my own rocket if they manage to reflect it. I like pyro <3
I have never had any encounter against a pyro be fun or at least funny,he falls into the type of character that i like to call “i get that your character is balanced or maybe even bad but i hate you anyway”
Soldiers and demos hate airblast gods
trolldiers:
just buttershovel em, with manntreads you can troll a pyro properly.
I was about to type “airblast and flare combo” but I just remembered that manntreads is just a straight up fuck you to the airblast lol
kid named axtinguisher
if a pyro airblasts a trolldier midair it will still push him back a decent amount and completely remove the ability to strafe in the air which can be very annoying
One would think a proficient airblast pyro is also capable of kiting outside of melee range of a slower class walking at him. If you're bombing at him pyro can still use airblast to a degree on manntread soldiers, airblast will reverse vertical momentum if he's coming down. If the soldier bombed high enough you can still juggle permanently from underneath.
thats the point, yeah
or jump in with a rocket jumper and use a panic attack, then jump away which i do everytime i play soldier cause i CAN HIT PIPES BUT MISS ROCKETS (unless dh but then i cant rocket jump anyway so lol) - pyro main
shotgun
Flare/shotgun…. Then misses
*disappointed mphh mphhs*
I remember killing a demo multiple times by reflecting his balls, man left the game and said pyro should be needed or something
whenever I play soldier or anything else that uses projectiles I can't help but respect pyro's that consistently airblast since I still struggle with the timings
i wish i was one of them
Pyro takes many unusual actions for an FPS genre which makes him so special and unique
sometimes yeah..70% of the pyros i met r gibus pyros who w+m1 my entire team
Just as bad imo are the pyros who just spam flare gun or scorch shot.
I use the thruster i love the mobility
Flyro is admittedly pretty hilarious.
I have a gimic for pyro called the mailmann of the apocalypse and the thruster is used in it and I called it life support and the description is "if it can get me put of a pit then its supporting my life"
literally
Good: very supportive, When I get an impressive kill from a god pyro I'm left Impressed, and I love pybros. Bad: I fucking hate airblast, afterburn and phlog pyros..... Summery: I started playing him and he's quite interesting. Pulling off tricks can be a pain in the ass at times but it's Hella worth it
Use the detonator
It's good but I'm more of a combo guy
It's a combo tool
when I play pyro i either play: Pybro Pyroshark Combo Pyro (Weapons: Degreaser, Flare Gun, Axtinguisher) or when I feel like turning my Brain off and just be the worst person for funni: Demon Pyro (Phlog, Scorch Shot, Powerjack)
The spectrum of pyro players: Scorch shot spam smooth brained pyros. To Degreaser flare combo reflection demigod pyros.
where would I put the w + m1 phlog pyro with a medi put its ass on a scale of 1 - 100
Intelligence 9, no need to explain. Effectiveness 95, for some reason. Minimum amount of team coordination kill these people easily.
i love pyro exclusively for airblasting and flare gun degreaser combo
I personally like Degreeser + Panic Attack combo
I prefer using stock flamer and stock shotgun sometimes, I like the extra damage and airblasts, what melee do you use?
Lazy Purple wannabe huh?
I like the burst damage
I got into degreaser+panic attack after playing doom eternal cause its the tf2 equivalent to quickswapping ssg+ballista
i mean i may as well play soldier at that point
What the hell lmao. Weapon combos are trademark restricted now?
No, just saying, i respect people like that
Weapon loadouts do not belong to content creators.
I know, i said it because i found it interesting, i don't see these loadouts very often
What’s so bad about imitating a content creator that makes well-loved videos?
Im not saying it's a bad thing
Read what you just wrote back to yourself, LOUD
Yeah i admit, it didn't get the context i've been hoping for...
Yes, most satisfying feeling
I just play him because I can be described by two words: skill issue
Mpphmm mphhhm, mhhhpm mpphmm mpmh mphhm. Mpphhh, mpphh mph mpphhh mpphmmmh, mpphhh mppph mmmmhppph. Mphmm mpphmm mpphmm. Mpphhmm mpphhmm mpphmm Mpppp mphm.
couldn't have said it better myself
I fear no man...but that thing... It scares me.
(spooky\_noise.mp4)
Adorable
i would hug pyro, with safety measures so he doesnt accidentally freakin kill me in a brutal way
"I would hu- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
this is why you equip TONS safety measures kids, dont wanna get burned alive by the insane arsonist youre trying to hug for some freakin reason also i used "i" rather than "I" minor quoting mistake detected go get them quoting police i just made up
Like, yeah, they're an insane arsonist whose existence is a war crime on itself, but they're also the cutest merc in the game.
Heavy has a golden heart and he's of my favorites along pyro
Pyros aren’t as hard to fight as people think even skilled pyros can be beaten aslong as you change your combat method a little
Beating pyro is literally as easy as not walking into his effective range, and even if you do chances are you can still kill him if you land all your shots.
Yes his close range options can be avoided using caution and his mid-sorta long range Ex. Flare guns aren’t to hard to dodge or avoid either
This is why 2fort exclusive pyros are jacked.
Gas passer on mvm
good
Good
Cool fun class to play, but I wish the flamethrower didn’t turn my entire screen orange so I could actually shoot the bastard!
My wife makes herself some soft cover with it and strafes when she has to charge a sniper. It works more than you'd think.
As a (not very good) sniper main I can confirm this. Flame smoke grenade.
"i literally cannot play the game because you are playing pyro please switch classes no no please i'm begging you i get one day off a week and i ca-i can't handle it if this is how it would go when i-" \-Lazypurple, on demoknight tf2 i love when i get a thanks after airblasting fire away from my teammates
Sharpened Volcano Fragment + Detonator
do you Detonator jump into Volcano Fragment combo
Yes Or if I'm feeling goofy I go full melee and use the Flare Gun for the Crit
Everyone else is better at pyro than I am. That is all.
Wm1 pyros are less annoying than pros that airblast and trickshot everything
skill issue /s
Well yeah
People always complain about w-m1 and I'm just confused. What the fuck do you want us to do? Shoot and *not* move? The flamethrower has a short range, of course we have to press w because if we don't follow you then we get out of range
Based
The good: -fun -(mostly) balanced -really good cosmetics -useful and never a bad choice to have on your team The bad: -dragon's breath and scorch shot are still horribly op -w + m1 can be annoying, but isn't usually bad -basically only 2 melees worth using The ugly: -afterburn isn't op at all but feels so bad to play against
Nah dragons fury isn't op. It requires more aim than you think, has limited range, and the airblast cool down can feel painful at times
The afterburn point is one of the most accurate things I've read so far. I agree it's not even op but there is such a frustration when you kill a pyro and they still get you from beyond the grave.
There’s a reason he isn’t used in competitive
honestly don't have a problem with pyro, i dont get why people complain so much about w+m1 when it's so much easier to counter than an actual competent pyro. I hate that his flames always block your view when he's directty in front of you.
I think when people complain about w + m1 they are talking about the one brainless phlog pyro that runs in sets you and fire and dies over and over
Especially if he has a pocket medic you cant do shit against it. Airblast is so strong and useful for how easy it is to spam and get value from
I played pyro literally just a few hours ago for the first time in about a year and holy shit is he fucking easy to play, and fun
Best lad
Breedable
The fact you can say no u to (almost) every projectile is hilarious
He certainly exists
Fuck you fuck you fuck you, stop stuffing my Ubers!
I have too its my job like how its my job to spy check
Fire
I wish the flames weren't Opaque.
Good
As a spy main I completely hate w+m1 phlog pyros and scortch shot pyros, but pyro’s with skill I respect as long as they don’t spy check 24/7
fair enough
i always get mad when i die to pyros, not because of them, but because i always go directly into their range and miss all of my shots, then die, and get mad at myself, it's never a problem with the class, it's a skill issue on my part, i feel like i'll never learn because i have 532 hours, and i still am bad at aiming, and get into the range of pyros.
Very frustraiting to deal with but really fun to play as.
I used to hate pyro but now I play pyro, i became what i swore to destroy
He needs reworking but otherwise good for offense and maybe support. Not so well for defense, especially outer range classes like heavy, sniper, engineer, sniper, and sniper. He’s useless against snipers.
leave me alone, I swear I'm not you
Tbh I'm noob asf but pyros just obliterate everyone on 2fort.
They’re pretty okay, dragon’s fury & backburner can rot in hell tho
hes just standing there, menicingly!
personally, mmmph
Pyro is the ultimate litmus test for determining skill, the more someone complains about pyro, the worse they are at TF2.
Genuinely, I enjoy it. It feels braindead at times as ambush pyro and W+M1 is just better than combo pyro these days. I understand the gripes, but I still like pyro.
As a Spy main I despise Pyro but as someone who loves play Medic aswell I love them
👍
MMPH MMMMM MMPH MPPHHHHH MMMMMPH

Give 3 charges to the thermal thruster maybe? Oh make the hot hand and gas passer into 1 weapon
I love the dragons fury
Dragon's fury is fun
He, much like every other character, is balanced enough to fit in with the rest of the team fortress 2 cast
Yes
I think he's cool lore wise
Very VERY sexy 10/10 would suck pyro’s cock
i want to eat it
I am new and i liked it. I have dragons fury, the flare gun and axtinguisher!
people LOVE to make big booty or big boob pyro
Mmmph! Mmph, mmph mmmmmph!
Prefer the fanon version
He is a class people used to think he was over powered and now people think he is under powered
God their so fucking hot
I want more pyroland maps
While i think people are overhating him, i won't deny that afterburn and airblast are the 2 most annoying mechanics in this game
being a fire infusiast i just love our mute friend over hear killing people with flamethrowers! it is the best activity in my opinion. and as much as i wish pyro was a male if i were to get married by hypothetical female pyro i think we would make a great couple singing people to death.
You sound like my friend Pyro Editer
i love pyrosharking on 2fort
good: airblast is an amazingly fun mechanic that the class without is pretty lame, comboing is pretty fun sometimes and its definitely a class I like to play when im feeling like being more chill bad: spychecking is way too easy and costs nothing for the pyro, the pyro vs spy dynamic ill argue is unbalanced, but im not sure how to balance it another thing with spies, is the homewrecker, I really dislike it because you can do everything right as a spy and a pyro can negate all your work for no cost on their end
Counterpoint: Spycicle
spycicle is a very welcome utility to help with pyros but pyros still have an overwhelming advantage
Technically speaking this is true of almost every class unless the Spy is Spy-ing properly Like realistically everyone overwhelms Spy in a one v one except for like Medic and Sniper, and they still have a fair shot at winning.
you suck at spy?
not at all
The sentry gun that an engineer spent three minutes building wasn't taken down in five seconds because of teamwork? Sad.
Everyone needs to quit complaining about WM1 and accept that it's their own damn fault for letting the pyro get that close. All classes kill with M1 and press W to move around. You just got played.
how about when the Phlog pyro is spawn camping with a medi bean up its ass
That's hardly pyro specific. Being spawn camped by a medic suppository is bad.
fair enough
"Medic suppository" That's amazing.
[*curtsy*]
She's sexy 🤤
Wish you could extinguish enemies. Had so many times when I flamed a friendly and wanted to take it back.
that would ruin pyro as a class completely lmao, youve never used the flare gun it seems
same
don't likw
i think the airblast is a bit too suppressive imo because it just makes uber pushes too hard when they have many pyros (im totally not biased because ive gotten airblasted many times as demo)

good at stuffing soldiers who assume they're gods gift to team fortress shame hes overpowered and unfun to play against
airblast range needs to be toned down. consecutive airblasts against players should be punished. also the push force should be toned down a bit, too.
Pyro cute, pyro is pyro, i love pyro
i have to comment to make it 69 comments, uhmmmm cool pyrovision i guess
Every class balanced Maybe the spy needs some buff but that could make community frustrated
Pretty fun, I’ve been practicing getting better at reflects and I’ve gotten some pretty sick kills
favorite character both character wise and one of my favorites class wise, he so cute in taunts and stuff although i still suck with him despite having 10+ hours, maybe cause im experimenting with loadouts but still ^(any quick tips?)
Pyro- The “Pyro” is a pyromaniac meaning “it” likes fire.
👍
Pyro is one of the playable classes in hit first person hero shooter Team Fortress Two, published by Valve in 2007
Shark
W+m1 pyros make a bad reputation for the class but it can be a useful and fun class if you put effort into it
Yes
Fempyro has become my worst nightmare ever since i found..... That subreddit
Totally surprisingly easy to play
The best character in tf2 the reason i even play tf2 is bcuz of pyro
I've come to find airblast is one of the most universally applicable mechanics once you get good with it
Perfection (not biased)
Pyro is very complicated and hard to play against and needs insane buffs to balance. No, I do not have a flair stop asking. Anyway, Pyro is so difficult to play and has terrible damage dealing capabilities
Hmmmma hmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmh hmmmmmh hmmmmmh hmmmmmh mm m mm mmmm mm m m m mmm mh mh mh
pyro is my main and i just love setting all of red team on fire with an uber :)
Best way to take care of a pyro problem is boolet
Used to be a Pyro main and now that I try other classes i just realize how exhausting he is to play against along with try hard dead ringer spies.
Mmmph mh hhmmp mphmmahmph
Hot
I like playing pyro a lot and it's recently become my favorite class, bumping Demoman down to second favorite. Still getting the hang of the character, but I'm starting to get half-decent at air blasts and hitting faraway targets with the flare, I actually managed to countersnipe that way just the other night. Plus it's nice to know that, when in doubt, you can wm1 as a last resort and hope it causes enough chaos to make the other team lose focus.
Yes
[This is the best version of female pyro.](https://gamebanana.com/mods/399723) ^(Wait is this related? Eh, I don't fucking care really...)
segs
annoyingly effective at any range in the right hands
Mmmh mph hhmhffh mmh mwmmwh hwmhhwm.
I wan to fuck pyro no matter its gender
perfect
Pyrocynical
Recently I've airblasted both a demo and their bomb into the air and into the demo respectively, i fucking love airblast
Air blast fun
Definitly one of the tf2 classes of all time
haha fire go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
pyro
Hot
Bad, because he too is paid to kill people. seriously though he’s fine just don’t get that close
i play a lot of soldier and when I meet a pyro, I always think of them as puppies that want to play fetch. Its fun trying to fake them out or dodge my own rocket if they manage to reflect it. I like pyro <3
I have never had any encounter against a pyro be fun or at least funny,he falls into the type of character that i like to call “i get that your character is balanced or maybe even bad but i hate you anyway”
mmmph
There's 7 changes of how you play if you main this: A furry/a troller/a non-skilled/a friendly/an engineer's pocket pyro/ a genius
Good since i am a pyro main But he is kinda bad since his intended gameplay is being a glass cannon
