Fucking hell, does the heavy have any useful items now? Time to go back to all the stock weapons because anything useful they end up shitting in the end.

Haha, pyro weapon getting a nerf on the pyro update day. =(

Ha at tomislav. I hardly ever even noticed it used before, and the change should make it as useless/unused as natascha.

Rocket jumping medics! Faster crossbows! I'm okay with this.

Demoman, the aforementioned possibly most powerful class, naturally wasn't nerfed and I'm not sure if any of the new stuff helps counter him. >.>

Every flamethrower gets +10% damage but Degreaser.

But ROCKET JUMPING MEDICS. :O

-10% on backburner but +10% on all?
But then the Degreaser changes?

I am confused.
But it still seems that now the Backburner only has the Airblast penalty and crits from back, while the OG FT doesn't?

Don't know why people are crying about Heavy nerf. The Tomislav is a joke compared to the default, and the Gloves of Running Urgently were only ever used to get back to the front asap if a teleporter was down.

Backburner and Degreaser stay the same. OG flamethrower gets 10% boost, but seeing it's the standard flamethrower, all damage is calculated based on it, so Degreaser now appears as -10%

Degreaser and Backburner stay the same. All Flamethrowers were given +10% damage as a base, then Degreaser was given a 10% reduction, and the Backburner had its previously held 10% increase removed.

The only thing that's changed for pyro is the OG flamethrower has 10% extra damage.

I read Equalizer as Enforcer and was happy for a minute.

Also, Heavy nerfed but not the Demoman? Come on that's bullshit.


PYRO BUFFFFFFFFFFED!!!!
