ill just throw this in here.

its funny that people think pyro is a class

I agree, anyone can play Pyro, look at Permzilla, he’s not Pyro main but he’s almost the best Pyro in prem 8)

You guys are like pub nublets complaining about pyro on youtube comments fucking lol.

I like that there are demo mains saying nerfing axt was a good move. Its just the fucking same with nerfing sticky. Where’s the empathy? Hell now that I’ve seen this, I just wish sticky nerf wasn’t reverted.

The difference may be that the axtinguisher nerf basically changes nothing, while the sticky nerf made highlander in it’s entirety absolutely unplayable, not just for the demoman.

Also why does anyone actually care, this nerf is literally so insignificant that there is no point being mad about it. Sure, it sucks that we only have one viable melee option now, but it’s not like it really changes anything, it’s just slightly less convenient.

How is it broken, Pyro is one of the lowest damaging and fragging classes in HL and also has poor mobility.

Who is getting shit on by these axtinguisher pyros? I’m really struggling to see how Pyros were in any way overpowered. If anything Pyro is underpowered which is exactly why 90% of pyros play as the combos bitch, doing the spychecking and sacrificing themselves to reflect ubers because they are already pretty useless at actually fighting vs competent players.

Yes. 100%. Combo bitch is usually a way more effective pyro than any other pyro who is trying to take a carry role.

If a pyro gets a few kills with his (her) crit weapons, then it’s a plus.

Pyro is not a damage dealing class, it shouldn’t have such a powerful full kritz combo with those 3 weapons, the axtinguisher nerf was logical

My problem isn’t with the axtinguisher particularly, it’s with the full degreaser / flare / axtinguisher combo, that was broken for a long time and finally got fixed, one way or another, it was the axe but it could well have been the flare. You can’t have 2 weapons that reward hits on target with kritz, thats just insane, yeah it makes for some sick plays, but it’s also unbalanced as fuck.

The axtinguisher made it possible for pyros to survive from a heavy in close combat. it was only used into that mostly. i don’t think a single pyro used axtinguisher into other classes that are close all the time in competitive. they used their 1st primaries to kill/Assist on killing them and no, it was balanced Since pyro was already a weak class. Btw why are you complaining the most about the old axtinguisher? you are a demo main, pyro is an easy pick for you and you kill them more then they do you.

Why can’t we have things like those ( http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2014/06/9780/ ), some data shown, some things planned, explained, and then doing something with the game.
Also, where is the in-game lobby they’ve announced some (long) time ago?

Cs:Go is focused on competitive, that’s why they make such blogs, Tf2 team has stats for weapons too, but there’s no reason for them to show us those stats.
And in-game lobby was never announced, it was eXtine and Salamancer who went to Valve to talk about that, they didn’t promise anything, but they said if they going to plan making Comp. Matchmaking, it will be Pick and Ban system and most likely a Highlander gamemode.

Damage is still shit after 1 second from firing, so no, it’s not ‘better’.

Defense class that can’t defend it’s own Medic.
