I don't know if anyone noticed this, but Panel three makes no sense. You can axtinguish with the backburner just fine. Perhaps she meant "Backburner sucks Lrn 2 airblast"?

TheWinrar: I'm not sure that's unusual at all. The flamethrower's damage output is kind of piddling, especially if you like airblasts.

I'm a bit unusual in that I use my shotgun MORE than my flamethrower. Flamethrower is for airblast, groups and retreaters.

Backburner doesn't suck, you still need to axtinguish, but I like the extra damage.

My layout is usually Backburner, Flare Gun, and Homewrecker/Fire Axe for the Pyro. I like outflanking the enemy team, waiting for them to spearhead either in offense or defense... and then ambush them from behind. As for the homewrecker... I like saving Sentries from Sappers.

BBPyro: This is a TF2-based comic and its readership overlaps a fair bit with the Steam User's Forums. Hate is the name of the game. :(
That said, I was wondering what was with the Compression Blast hate. Spamming will (after a bit of TF2Wiki math) reflect less than a third of standard rockets.

Ignoring the rest of the argument, the Backburner is not only the worst weapon, it is also the cheapest and least skilled way of killing someone. Not only do you rarely, if ever, encounter face to face combat, when you do theres only one option, making it desirable for anyone without an oz of skill

Fire Axe for the win, but I can't give up my flaregun.

If you're a backburner Pyro, you might as well be playing Spy. Then you can at least kill sentries without the assistance of a medic.

Sinez

Ultimatly there is nothing wrong with the back burner, it has the normal fire damage from before the update, but it has crits from behind, ultimately its an upgrade, but the normal flamethrower got the air blast... which makes you want to try and reflect things and then get killed by sentries/rokets

BB is far more viable than axtinguisher on Heavies these days. In the time it takes to whip out the ax you're already dead, while the BB actually gives you a chance from behind. Not to mention you can drop his medic in ~.1s beforehand.

Who uses the backburner? Ninja pyros that sneak by undetected and pyro mages that can teleport out of nowhere. The backburner is for pyros who play it like it was meant to be played instead of these whiny puffers that can't circle strafe a friendly sentry let alone an angry heavy.
DM1293
over 14 years ago
Thats sort of ironic. The axtinguisher does have a couple flaws to it (You can only target one person) and does require skill...
...but since the backburner got upgraded, its an effective ambush style.

Trick question. You're dead in the time it takes the heavy to spin up (half a second or so), turn around (instant), and fire at you from point blank range (half a second, if that). Assuming he wasn't spun up to begin with.

There is insufficient data to answer the question. Is the Pyro attacking from the front or back? Is he attacking at point blank, or near max range where there is a slight damage penalty? Is the medic still healing the Heavy, in which case you'd have to factor in the rate of healing? lrn2quiz, teach.
