FUCK DIRECT HIT FUCKING SHIT ASS FUCK WEAPON

>no one but the soldier ever takes healthpacks
the point is there's still a risk involved, pyro has the second fastest move speed with no risk needed to utilize it, unlike the demo and soldier. At this point you're just making up reasons rather than facing the fact that you just need to get better. Pyro is still the best counter to soldier as airblast can completely shut him down as long as they're not running stock shotgun.

If you want a comeback mechanic make it damage taken. But percentage of max hp.

Id still keep the normal crits, but like a 200% revenge crit could be fun.

Gas can is one of the most optimised particles by valve. Unusuals drop frame rate harder than gas can.

>with no risk needed to utilize it
Pyro's has no gap closers that don't also have a risk. The movespeed is insignificant when you still need to close the distance quick, and camping in close quarters will just doom you to easy splash damage and meatshots

>pyro has the second fastest move speed
Fourth, actually. At least without the powerjack.
