"what about sniper?"
i was about to say "going with that logic sniper is a counter to every class in the game except for scout and spy"
then i realized pyro is bad at long range where sniper excels
"he probably misses every shot"
it is a moral thing
i know that 1hko across the map (sorry for playing on maps you dislike grorious reader) is unfun to play against so i dont go sniper
that and my aim is "meh" as sniper
as in i get some headshots but not every
of course im a liar because the idea of me being a liar suits your argument better |

"not like spy has the ambassador or anything you know crits every time if your aim doesn't suck" assuming you are not being airblasted or dead before you can pull the gun out i guess backpedaling with your revolver also works, but for that you kind of need to be out of the hot zone, and be able to dodge flares if the pyro is not a moron and backs up and not getting airblasted into a corner also helps |

sadly backpedaling makes you slower than the pyro so it will get you if you try that
pyro is a hard counter to spy and there is nothing spies can do about it unless the spy is some sort of hl comp pro and is fighting gibus w+m1 pyros |

stairstabbing sadly doesnt work on people above gibus level
i wont really complain about gibus w+m1 pyros since they are easy to kill
i am talking about the combopyros
degreaser puff, immobilizing airblast, crit flare
only doesnt work on heavies and scouts |

| i believe pyro is my least played class but even i have (sort of) mastered the combo; atleast they nerfed the axtinguisher combo and made it only minicrit, that thing was just ridiculous |

yes the axtinguisher nerf was one of the two nerfs that actually made sense alongside the sticky launcher nerf (demo mains will kill me for this) which was sadly reverted
but it did not change anything sadly
now we have pyroes using powerjack to run and flaregunning to crit |

cant you airstrafe out of the airblast? i thought i heard once that was a thing |

pretty sure that is near impossible if you are airblasted into a corner since you lose all momentum |

"now we have pyroes using powerjack to run and flaregunning to crit" all good pyros used powerjack to begin with best melee i personally dont use the flare gun, because the detonator has so much more utility i can hit stuff even after missing, i can destroy stickies, and i have enhanced mobility, which is a big thing for a class that requires proper positioning in order to be played |

correct
it makes you fast and you still have the crits with the flaregun
ridiculous
"i personally dont use the flare gun, because the detonator has so much more utility i can hit stuff even after missing, i can destroy stickies, and i have enhanced mobility, which is a big thing for a class that requires proper positioning in order to be played"
detonator master race
