they screwed up dx9, i used to have solid 120 on dx9 maxed settings now its like 60-70, least dx8 doesnt have this problem.

opt out of steam beta. this isn’t update related

I think the problem is it’s impossible to have an honest discussion about pyro without people like Muuki making shitty jokes, which pretty much obliterates any attempt of making a dumb class a little less dumb.

I wish pyro had been removed.

i think the problem is that you’re all still pyro mains

You don’t main anything aside from what is asked from you.

At second thought regarding the pyro changes, I thought it was really shit at first and would make pyro unplayable, but after some adjusting to the timings it feels relatively the same, and flamethrower damage is better.
Flaregun sucks now, but I didn’t use that anyway.

Switching weapons feels so good now on all the classes.

I don’t even understand what people are saying about pyro being nerfed it plays the same with a slightly lower weapon switch that you can only notice if you play a ton of pyro, it’s hardly drastic enough to make it bad or unplayable. Pretty sure an hour of playing it would get you used to the new timings.

Yeah, pyro’s not nerfed, if anything it’s buffed with all these damage boosts. I’m just annoyed that the part of pyro they choose to buff is walking at people.

I couldn’t care less if the they nerfed airblast or stunlock. If they don’t fix the randomness range of the flamethrower (Flamethrower mojo), it shows how little they could care about it to fix it. I didn’t like the weapon switch thing too, it messes up with my timing a lot and it’s really easy to heckle a pyro now when using degreaser. I like the phlog now, maybe a new meta for the pyro in certain maps to help the flank?

honestly just learn the new timings and get better aim so u can shoot targets who are moving, then you’ll be fine

I’m fine with that, just the ammount of hours to achieve the muscle memory in deflecting, using flare, using shotgun then deflecting again, to react differently, of course it doesn’t take that much really… Seriously, it really does and I’m just pissed about it. Flare gun isn’t really that viable anymore, the time you switch to flare it’s the time for you to get rekt’d by a scout, soldier, demo or heavy.
