Yeah the first wasn't a bug they later added the cool down period after they buffed it from minicrits to full crits.
I miss puff-n-sting bros...
Still play combo pyro and its really fun but I know I could just be doing more damage by holding down m1
Killing pyros with a crit flare is worth it though
Oh, no, don't get me wrong. It's his worst flamethrower pretty much objectively. The only issue is, as you said, a medic, but I also think you neglected to consider that some maps just let you abuse the frick out of the phlog. Generally you also need the medic as well but consider how you deal with a pyro running at you on a map that isn't shit vs. a map like dustbowl. You already have the immediate dustbowl problem of it being cramped as frick so scorch spamming lets him build his charge extremely quickly, provided he already hasn't killed some moron through the setup gates who sees the pyro taunting at them and goes 'he he, funny pyro me taunt too :)' and then realize that the ceilings are about 10 feet up so you can't possibly blast jump away most of the time and you can't possibly run and suddenly you're getting fricking spawn camped. But no, my comment was mostly directed to how this shitty selfish playstyle makes you a pyro who cannot extinguish. A ghoulish fricking abomination who cares about his artificially inflated KDA that would never exist on a properly designed map, and nothing else. They should only let you build phlog charge with the mannmelter and none of the other flare guns, honestly.
*The phlog is a balanced weapon.
The removal of airblast means that the Phlog could get its crits in half the time and it would still be weaker than every other flamethrower that can airblast.
i dont get why people cum for the detonator so much
i have 2500 hours in this game and i never understood how to make the explosions hit, and they do basically no damage
the blast jumps also do too much self damage for it to be worth it

The opportunity cost of giving up your secondary slot for something that does no damage is something only good classes are allowed to do, and heavy. But Heavy doesn't really care about moving around and being alive is a big priority for him so obviously you bring a lunchbox. Pyro can't do that. The jetpack's too slow, too predictable and too loud. It'll get you close but your best use cases are being annoying from longer ranges or sneaking around. I encourage you to look up detonator jump spots or practice on pyro jump maps, it will open your eyes. Detonator is a godlike secondary especially w/ Dragon's Fury
It's the most reliable long range damage option for pyro, you'll always ignite someone with it once you start to "get it". And sure, self damage is way too high for the kind of jump you get but it still opens up flank routes you couldn't reach otherwise.
And its not consistent or effective enough for it to be useful like blast jumping. Honestly, if you want aerial mobility as pyro just use the jetpack.
It lets you do all kinds of cheeky shit while also not having to equip the dead weight that is the jetpack.
Play jump_pyrokinesis if you're having trouble getting good.

If you hold the detonator while firing the flare explodes close to your centre of mass allowing you get horizontal mobility greater than any other class. Being able to close the gap to suddenly as pyro is quite powerful and it isn’t just a flank tool but a means of rushing down enemies. It’s also better at hitting people if you have the skill.
Seriously there’s nothing quite like disintegrating the gap between a sniper staring you down before he can blink. The other explosion jumpers have greater vertical mobility but the acceleration the det gives you is underrated
Sorch shot needs a buff, unironically. Should be able to ignore fire resistances granted by items. Snipers do not deserve to have fun in this game ever.
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
Winning as pyro is the best feeling because of how shitty the class is. >W+M1 pyros baka...
Can't get over this salty reaction. Tastes too sweet (ironically).

moron
Based, i still play l4d2
The servers suck tho
Versus matchmaking in L4D2 is more fun than casual matchmaking in TF2.
It should have blast radius, ignition, pushback AND minicrits, get rid of one of them and it'll be instantly balanced.
shouldn't*
>this kills the fish
/ourguy/
I miss when fish would have happy merchants in his videos
dude complains too fricking much in his stream VODs
He complains too much in his ducking videos too
Quack
i miss when flare guns were a common weapon in games
>throws piss/milk on self
Reminder that this is the man who launched the hate campaign against the scorch shot
>"hate campaign"
Fish is based for making twitter trannies like you seethe
Don't let the tard wranglers hear you, Fish, or they might stick you back in the forever closet.
I don't even play tf2, I've just been watching him since his bad creepypasta days

Forgot release ambassador. That thing was buggy as hell.
It was the headshot check ignoring transparent props, right?

Yeah that's a spy main alright.

I enjoy playing pyro and I look at phlog/scorch pyros the same way a woman looks at a troon
The phlog is a balanced weapon as long as the pyro doesn't have a pocket medic

Hipsterism.
It's literally just a worse scorch shot.

It’s for Redditors.
Literally 0 reason to take it over the scorch shot unless you take the opinions of homosexual youtubers seriously.

Scorch shot is the same item archetype as gunslinger.
What?
The cool archetype.
It’s a cool weapon.
>lights people on fire
>cool weapon
do you want to see a really cool weapon?
When I was new to the game I thought if you used the flame thrower on one of the ice statues you could thaw them out and revive them.
maybe then silent killer would have meant something
maybe get rid of the crackle too
i don't understand why they made a no-skill detonator
ow
