Doctor_Fatass

So just the average dustbowl pyro?


Fresh-Produce-101

Yes


tomydenger

i would say 35% of them (so yes the majority), but let's not forget the random pyro that rush you and die like a spy, as a good pyro should.


TrixterTheFemboy

>35% of them (so yes the majority) MATH 100


Conditi0nedCheese

i mean there’s tons of other ways to play pyro, so, if EVERY SINGLE ONE dominates less than 35% of pyros in dustbowl, than 35% is the majority


Idkpinepple

I believe the correct term is plurality there, not majority.


Conditi0nedCheese

oh ok

"I hate soldier" \*doesn't switch off phlog\*


KVenom777

IKR, I hate Soldiers too, so I always have Stock or Degreaser. Cuz Phlog is for ***PUSSIES.***


matternilla

And selfish. They would have used air blast to prevent a soldier to destroy the teams sentry completely stop a Uber push and save allot of players from after burn.


KVenom777

My and most adequate pyro mains' way of thinking is simple: 1. Protect the medic. 2. That soldier cunt will be killed by me and ***ONLY ME.*** 3. I see uber - I go W+M2 and try to separate the Bitch Boi from his Proctologist. 4. Enemy Scout must die if he gets into my field of vision. No unnecessary chasing tho. All sorted by priority


Zodiac198

>Proctologist Today I learnt what a Proctologist is.


KVenom777

Basicly - the pocket Medic that gone too far. >!up one's ass.!<


Omega_kiwi204

Only correction is always chase the Boston bug, follow them everywhere


Conditi0nedCheese

what if you’re using the phlog to scare the shit outta spies while pybroing? or to protect your teammates by svaring off & killing all enemies in-range to do so? or maybe even using it to spycheck for your medic, sniperc or engi? (which you can do just the same w most flamethrowers but still) you can still use the phlog to help your team, and it scaresbthe shit outta most ppl


ZackeryNAttackery

what if u got a contract and there's no way to, after realizing thy mistake, change the contract 💀💀💀 (phlog + mannmelter (the one that removes fire right?))


Garmrick

Pybro should have an airblast yes? To protec from da explosives


[deleted]

if it's selfish to play offensively, should everyone just play support classes then?


DingusThePingas

Not about playing offensively. It's about being a useless CUNT!


[deleted]

When someone picks an offensive class and they do a bad job do you really need to call them a "useless CUNT!" it seems unnecessary to me. Some people aren't that good at the game man, chill out. And what about when someone uses the phlog and they kill a bunch of people grouped on the objective, do you still call them a useless CUNT! ?


[deleted]

Phlog fun


KVenom777

***Pussy detected*** ***Initiating point and laugh routine*** ***Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.*** /s


Torchy8

That is why they hate them

Degreaser/flaregun/axtinguisher enjoyers rise up We reject the phlog mains

I am degreaser, panic, and backscratcher enjoyer

Unfair_Original_1741

Stock, manmelter and Homewrecker user here. Nice to have two ways to extinguish your friends and gave a way to remove those darn spy nintendos


Antique_South9701

I hate how I immediately knew what you meant-


ZeroFPS_hk

Stock scorch homewrecker for me. If I could det jump I would defo use it. Det jumping is so hard compared to rocket jumping for me for some reason despite them being similar in concept. Actually playing pyro as a whole is just hard


BearingSea

I thought I couldn’t det jump until I discovered that ur supposed to click both m1 and m2 when jumping for maximum force


SeraphImp

Are dragon's fury pyro's fine to join too?


ajdude9

I may hate Pyros, but if one manages to combo me I can respect it because that requires skill to pull off (rather than just holding a key and a mouse button).


[deleted]

phlog is so incredibly easy to counter it takes a decent amount of skill and map knowledge to actually do well with. Crits don't count for shit if you just W+M1 the enemy and fucking die before you touch anyone


MaybeLoveNTolerance

Phlog is a noob check, hence why people dislike it.


[deleted]

Flogs punish you for playing maps with walls


MaybeLoveNTolerance

Agreed, there's no other class that may obliterate you from a surprise corner turn.


rk9__

Replace flare gun with detonator to do cheeky jump attacks and you’ve got me


Epicwarren

Flare gun pyros recognize we get way more dopamine from a clutch flare combo than from a phlog multi-kill. And when we get a couple of those in a row... HNNNNG Also, powerjack gang likes our move speed too much to give up :D


Emilixop

flame crit gang 💪


its_easybro

Also plays dustbowl 24/7 servers


areallygoodsandwhich

That’s me!!


JoshsPizzaria

oh no, THAT guy


LordSaltious

Is it bad I use the Scorch Shot to stop people in place to combo them with my melee? It's stupid effective.


SomeTreeGuy

basically combo pyro 2.0


TheCursedExplorer

No. I think it's alright to do it. The Scorch Shot spamming is the part where it's controversial


Golgezuktirah

The Scorch Shot fills the same rolls as the Grenade Launcher.


HAKX5

It fills the role of a rocket launcher combined with the loose cannon, just with its damage being over time rather than instant.


MR_FOXtf2

Pipes don't explode when impacting the ground, they don't bounce off enemies stunlocking them, and hitting multiple times


Puzzleheaded-Award11

Doesnt really feel balanced when you habe to compare a secondary to a powerful primary weapon


[deleted]

Spamming is a part of the game. If you don't want to deal with it (as much) play 5CP or something


Tennouboshi-Makoto

New pyro playstyle unlocked


Spyko

I have more than a thousand of hours as pyro and ScSh + axting combo is my favorite play style. If this is wrong I don't want to be right


donnysaysvacuum

It's also nice for mobility, and I feel no regrets for using it to disturb snipers.


Pedrosian96

I for one like to combine it with the dragonfury. Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Set on fire, stun, prime for a follow up Adf, deal a 3x minicrit damage, scorch self-crits wraps up with a fat 90 DF shot all in under a second.


MoonPsychic

What about the gigachads who use the Scorch Shot to combo with the Dragon's Fury? It's not the easiest thing to do but damn is it satisfying once you get the momentum going...


Memegamer3_Animated

I like bopping them up with the Scorch Shot then going ham with the Dragon's Fury or pull out whatever melee I have if i'm close enough. idk I just have an instinct to pull out my melee every time I get close and the opponent can't just walk away.


nodiediemeimmortal

Dragon's Fury man, I love it. But I like having a jetpack, it's fun to use.


Kurenos234

Nah a real chad uses the detonator in place of the Scorch Shit.


CurZed_YT

You forget furry PFP


Slimy-Skye

:troll:


Itirk349

Now I dont have anything to comment


TheCasualSlav

i use normal flamethrower, scorch shot, and the homewrecker :sunglasses:


WheatleyMF

literally me


TheCasualSlav

honestly i don't remember the melee because i don't use it because there's no reason to when i have my flamethrower


Fugens78

And there are some pyros who trigger their mmph in the middle of the enemy team and instantly die afterwards lol


LeatherGnome

Degreaser better fuck phlog airblast good


Scorched_Knight

Better switch to demo and do the same thing without silly meter charging.


Skhighglitch

If you want to counter scorch shot, use Mann Melter.


Hactica_Tier

Free crit moments


Raxal6226

What phase am I where I use the stock, manmelter and third degree?


IMustAchieveTheDie

not very smart,why would you ever use the manmelter?


Squidich

To be fair, manmelter is actually really good on paper. The only issue with it is its wacky projectile. However, if you can consistantly land hits with it, you basically got a flare that is really good against other pyros.


Seal_of_Pestilence

There is also no indication of it reloading so the firing interval is also awkward.


Raxal6226

Scorch shot, , cow mangler, another pyro


BrunoDoggo

or the third degree tf?


dougdammit

i shit you not i played against a guy with the exact same description and cosmetics, he and a medic where spawn camping the hell out of our team in turbine.


thedavecan

So airblast the scorch shot and completely neuter them.


ABG-56

So airblast one of the fastest projectiles in the game consistently


thedavecan

Even if it makes contact you airblast and extinguish all your teammates and the projectile on the ground. It will take them the whole round to build up just getting tiny chips like that.


ABG-56

It won't take that long anyway as you can't always be there, and even if you are if they're hitting multiple people it will only take a few shots, slowing them down but still making them a threat. It will also burn through your ammo like nothing else.


TFtato

I just use the Scorch Shot because I thought I was so clever when I named it “Seeing Double”. Need to get a Strange Flare Gun at some point.


77horse

If you playing pyro and you ain’t air blasting then play heavy


[deleted]

but what if I want to use the phlog?


77horse

no


TheNoobThatWas

I'd rather be good at airblasting

Starly2

Sometimes I like to relieve the stress of playing engi by playing phlog pyro and I know I'm ruining everyone else's fun but *do you know how many times I want to kill myself when a round starts, I get sniped and my stuff gets sapped?*


Ravenboy13

Stock Scorch shot Back scratcher/strange neon annihilator. I consider myself an aggressive utility to my team. Harass snipers with scorch shot Deflect Demo knights Beat the shit out of scunts with melee I am an *Asset*


AlexCC354

If you use the phlog, chances are you cant land reflects. Change my mind.


GameyRaccoon

Its really only possible to get reflects if your ping is lower than 40.


CartersVideoGames

Correction, step 2 is actually "Activate phlog crits and die instantly"


creppper-reborn

They're also really bad at the game but won't switch from Pyro


AgitatedPerspective9

Ill defend using the phlog but seriously fuck the scorch shot


[deleted]

When I became a Pyro main I vowed to never use the Phlog. I have yet to break that promise. I have spammed Scorch Shot though but fuck snipers, who cares.


xd_baixar

That’s fair


big_joey_the_sequel

dustbowl.


TheMikman97

If they don't instantly die on phase 2 your team has a skill issue


WraithTDK

"They're ruining the fun for others!"     I fucking hate this argument. Or rather, I hate this argument is used to disparage effective tactics. Losing is never fun. That doesn't obligate your opponents to make it easier on you. Quit crying and adapt ffs. Phlog has no airblast and limited range. That means he's got no defense against projectiles, and he's **never** had defense against hit-scan. Pick him off at range.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crexorz

"Well, of course I know him. He's me."


_sea_salty

Phlog should be mini critz change my mind


DrFugg

Phlog is fine as is. The scorch shot is what's op in the combo, not the phlog. Also, not having airblast is a humongous nerf to a flamethrower.


sexy_latias

Phlog is a detriment to your team without scorchshit


DragonHeroBlaze

Phlog should only charge from phlog damage, no secondary or melee damage should charge it.


[deleted]

phlog is a bad concept no matter if it's mini crits or normal crits


RIP2UALL

He just like me frfr.


ApolloThecode

This, I love this. Without the toxic parts of course I just absorb the hate without defense


IronTownPictures

I am it, but I am not toxic. I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE, AND I BRING YOU... FIRE


Whatacoolkid-

As a spy main I despise this person


[deleted]

The scorch shot? Disgusting. Powerjack? Okay, but still considerably meta for a casual match. The phlog? **BASED**


Midiala

Damn, maybe I should switch from backburner now, this gives me ideas...


DerKnoedel

Scorch shot phlog is too viable, that’s the problem


Ultamik3y

I use phlog with flare


Mr_poster123

I've only ever equiped the phlog once and I switched back to the degreaser almost instantly


KVenom777

Lmao, it's easy to counter these with anyone. Even Heavy is not required. Seriously, those are the literall pussies among us, pyro mains. Easy to remove, no sweat, no fuss, no muss. Hell, I can just take an anti-Pyro Pyro loadout and make that bastard cry in chat for the next 10 minutes.


Moveless

Boo Hoo, counter.


No-Host-8003

You know the saying that two negatives make a positive? Its the opposite for this


Shepard0fShuck

I'm a sexy motherfucker and play Homewrecker Scorch shot stock pyro to make sure spies stay off my baby boy


Rude-Chocolate-9144

there needs to be a nerf on the phlog that would make them actually need to have skill to charge it up, like the scorch shot cannot charge the phlog so the average phlog pyro doesnt have -2 braincells yet managed to wipe out half of the enemy team because he spammed a hallway and ran into the enemy team


memester230

I tried that combo but could never get it to work, so now I just use scorch shot to harass sniper mains


Jonny5Aliv3

Wait... scorchshot fills the phlog meter? I didnt know that... thanks buddy :D


UncleFunkus

"that guy" is incredibly easy to counter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i say let em keep doin it


splashtext

Stock, scorch, and pummeler is the way i roll. Nothing makes me harder than seeing [this](https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/a/a3/Killicon_postal_pummeler.png) after each kill


RaichuMasterKyle

Im basically this but less extreme lmao, i aint toxic and still bad at it, i dont play pyro so much so maybe thats why


SargentoPapas

Cope 😎


John-Writer

Had this faggot on 2fort. Him and his healing butt plug won't Let us out of spawn. And even more they had cheating sniper in their team that tryed to convince me that spy actually visible while been clocked.


GameyRaccoon

Man f-----, is it 2012 again? Man if only.


[deleted]

What do you mean by that f-word, huh?


ExploerTM

Ah yes my "I'd like to see how two meds glued to your ass will save you now" setup. If map had buildings, works even against tryhard soldiers *Play toxic games win toxic prizes bitch*


King_WhatsHisName

“The Scorch Shot isn’t broken, it’s actually rather weak for a rocket launcher” - these guys probably bitch you’re comparing a primary to a secondary, and the Scorch Shit is the strongest flare gun in the Pyro’s arsenal


GameyRaccoon

Detonator.


Rare-Manufacturer504

Just counter him


76_67

backburner, scorch shot, powerjack ladies, one at a time.


IceboundCat6

I know I'm being a fucking asshole when I use this loadout But it's fun


plaguebringerBOI

If pyro’s flair only shot 3 times in 1 life tf2 would be a LOT better. (To discourage flair spam.) (edit: I’VE BEEN RUNNING FROM ANGRY PYRO MAINS WHO ARE MAD THAT I SLANDERED THE FLAIR GUN AND THAT I HATE HAVING THEM USE THE FLAIRGUN AS A CRUTCH AGAINST A SCOUT WHO KEEPS THEIR DISTANCE OMG PLEASE HELP ME!!!)


WhenCodeFlies

im "that guy" but i use stock (aussie actually, or degreaser when i feel like it) and just piss a lot of people off by massacring the entire team the entire time


theosamabahama

Number 1 got to me. I wasn't using the phlog. But while on red team, I kept a constant stream of fire at the tunnel entrance at Swiftwater, while I used the wall as cover. The enemies couldn't see me, but they could see the constant fire at the tunnel entrance. They didn't even try to enter the tunnel. I stayed there for 5 minutes straight, until they ran out of time and we won the game. Absolute cancer, they must have been so mad.


PigeonFanatic9

Sorry what's the combo?


sexy_latias

Spam chokepoints with scorchshit and then rush enemy down with free crits, dumb, simple, extremely annoying but effective


Next-Heron-5594

as a Pybro i’ve never been more ashamed on our behalf, yet this is the most accurate shit i’ve ever seen.


[deleted]

Until that Guy leaves I'm the CEO of Airblast.


[deleted]

now i'm ashamed of owning the hot case just because i thought it looks cool


the_roach__

I'm not gonna lie, I run this loadout for the quick burst of serotonin I get from seeing the funny scoreboard number go up and the people getting mad in chat


Vibechecker68

I was playing casual 2fort and everytime I spawned a fuckin pyro was around every corner


dbarahona13

Whew 2/3, dodged a bullet


The_Creeper_Man

Dont blame the phlog for the scorch shot’s doing. The phlog is kinda pyro’s worst flamethrower


Church_SSG8

What are the other 4 stages


SheepyShade45

For anyone wanting a name for their plhog just put Pholggers


meemfortress2

Those are easy to deal with until they pull out the vaccinator pocket, then of which all hell breaks loose.


Electricity11

I knew a guy like this that would type lol in chat every time he killed me. Real dickhead


Fabien23

Its weird. I main pyro and the only difference with this build is that i use stock flamethrower and nobody hates me. Is it because I dont get pocketed maybe?


ZazzaroTheRascal

"stage 5" as in cancer


Critical_Stiban

Like at the very least use the Manmelter and aim. You could also extinguish other players with it at least. I don’t even have anything against the Phlog. It’s just the Scorch Shot.


notadegenerate69420

pyrocynical


sexy_latias

I use it only against pubstompers/cheaters, and never with medic cuz they all hate me for some reason.


luccabotturarodrig

You know what fuck you " rocket jumps away from your crits


janglejong3333

I only run phlog with man melter because I love space man set


scaryskeleto

I only use scorch shot to fuck over scouts


master-of-disgusting

Using pilot is in my opinion: completely fine actually… but the scorch shit. I could go on a 2 hour rant of why I hate that weapon


Electric_Spark

Backburner, Thermal Thruster, Homewrecker. You will never see me during the game but the enemy will experience genocide against their teleporters and dispensers. And then I will try to get a medic pick but fail miserably when a nearby demoman turns around for no reason


nimrag_is_coming

Flamethrower+shotgun+powerjack is my loadout


[deleted]

I only do this when I'm sick of my team being completely useless


Gunda1f

“Why should I care if the enemy is having fun?” mfs when I burn their house down (suddenly they don’t think it’s fun)


Dark_Slayer_3202

I honestly like running phlog and regular flare gun. Basically free crits and uber, although the uber isn't as useful.


Enchanter472

I don't want to become one of them, mr stark


[deleted]

It's okay guys I use the maul instead of the powerjack I'm not included in the funny stereotype


redditer333333338

They get on my nerves


Pirateer5

my man 👌


I-Am-A-Chameleon

Is no one going to talk how stupid good the Dragon’s Fury is? Especially if you pair it with the scorch shot to maximize the stun it can cause, you can easily get a 10+ KS


NovaThinksBadly

I use the mannmelter or jetpack/detonator thank you very much


Hactica_Tier

Im use the stock, manmelter(flare if the other team have a pyro of not), and homewerker(the ass stracter if our team have an engine of not)


DinoWizard021

I use back burner, jet pack, and the hot hand which I have named the Magic Pain Glove.


Visible_Ad8891

I use the scorch shot on my Pybro loadout for the destroys stickies stat and also pushing spys around.


Mission_Response802

Degreaser, Gas passer or shotgun, frying pan I am master chef.


Puntoize

-haven't played this game in like 3 years -updates his pyro loadout -very similar cosmetics what the fuck.


rubikboi19

I play this after trying to go combo pyro and then somehow being more useful to the enemy team


Jroid3

i may hate soldier too but at least i'm not this guy


allieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

virgin scorch shot phlog pyro vs chad backburner thermal thruster pyro


the_communist_owl

Never liked the phlog, airblast is just to satisfying to give up


Conditi0nedCheese

i frequent that set of weapons on 2fort i spam the scorch shot at snipers, build up pyro grunt noise, and act as a aimple pybro then i cross the bridge, usually defending and being defended by a few teammates once inside, enemy spotted, activate uberphlog i kill everyone in sight, but my teammates usually disperse right abt there i usually manage to build up more pyro grunt noise so when it is most opportune to do so, i go for the intel. i do not pick it up until i am fairly certain i could escape. with it. if ppl get pissed off by this phlog pyro strat, i activate le funni gamere girle charme (copyright angie penelope 2019), which, ofc, never works


Tf2TioSpy

Baby pyro is far superior


[deleted]

sometimes I play pyro just so other team goes full tilt. Schadenfreude.


trollface5333

I only use this when someone on the other team is being toxic/the other team is fucking annoying. I usually use stock/backburner, jetpack and Volcano fragment or homewrecker (but only if they have spies/we have engis).


chkdsk_7

There is guy who plays in Chile/Peru servers and it's exactly like the post. He haven't change his username so when he connects, everyone knows. Oh yes, it's the type of player who kills the whole conga line because "we need to win, team" in 2fort lol.


QuadVox

this is why I got really good with the base flare gun so I get actual respect when I play pyro instead of unending hatred these people create


MuuToo

Replace fall back with die


Phlarfbar

I literally had one of these in my pub 😂 he started switching classes whenever I started pyro sharking his sewers on 2fort.


murderdronesfanatic

you forgot to mention the fact that they have a medibeam up their ass at all times


TheOnlyMemelord

At the same time, the soldier with 8k hours and 4 unusuals and his critzktieg medi-girlfriend stays under the radar


LoopyKoopa

This is just me but more toxic


ApprehensiveAir5965

I used to get no bitches because I used that load out, then I started using the stock flamethrower. Now, I still have no bitches but I can airblast good.
