I’m looking for a practice partner who is good enough to beat me fairly consistently. Div5/6 (6v6) works if you know how to fight pyros, and div4 would be a good challenge. Above that might be worth trying to test my skills, but I’d probably get stomped hard enough for it not to be useful practice. I play a fair bit of MGE but it’s rare to find people who are both fairly skilled and willing to fight pyros. I’ll play against any class (except heavy/engineer), and if you can multiclass that’s ideal. I like ammomod [MGE]. Add me if you don’t mind playing =)

excuse my ignorance but why would you want to practise pyro on mge?

He plays highlander and i guess he offclass pyro in 6s too, so probably because he wants to get stronger in 1v1, better at predicting rockets and reflecting shit, improve his flare aim, or shotgun aim.

I don’t know, that’s just what i think when i think of pyro and mge :d

Honestly pyro dm is the easiest thing ever seen as you just control people’s movement with the airblast and take any prediction out of the equation, therefore you don’t really need to mge in my opinion, if you want to improve I’d mge as a soldier if anything seen as you get used to aiming rockets more quickly.

Not really. If you’re just going to spam airblast you’re going to get wrecked by any decent soldier.

I didn’t say that you just spam airblast now did I?
If you’re playing degreaser/flare/axe as most “dm” pyros do then at close range you usually set people on fire first and then you airblast, then you flare gun them or axe them while they can’t move. If you’re fighting a soldier at medium range then it’s just reflecting rockets which is basic timing, then the actual prediction part is exactly like playing soldier seen as you’re just aiming at their feet. If soldier’s are clever and won’t fire rockets at you while you have your flames out then you just play the retarded “I can switch weapons faster than you” game.

Pyro dm is nothing more than controlling people at close range and reflecting stuff which is just a form of soldier/demo dm.

Unless they actually know how to airstrafe and shoot you. If they don’t fire at you while you have your flames out you just burn them to death. Rocket timing from the soldier’s perspective feels different to the pyro’s perspective.

woohoo indi 4 prem

Please stop pyro mge. It won’t help you in an actual game because pyro is all situational. The amount of times you’ll be against a soldier 1v1 both of you with full health and nobody to interrupt is ridiculously low.

Just play pubs/hl.
