Every class has a melee weapon that's a direct upgrade, no exceptions.

Holy Mackrel.
Combined with other weapons it gives you +25 health which is pretty stacked.

Ignoring the set bonus because the Shortstop is a piece of stuff, the Holy Mackerel is identical to the vanilla bat in function.

You know what else can do most of that stuff?

Killing them before they get the chance.

literally any good comp team will wreck your stuff if you manage to get behind them with the backburner
you might take out an engineer or something, but then you will die immediately by the force of a soldier firing rockets at you that you won't be able to reliably deflect
you are a pyro, you are not supposed to be acting like a worse spy.

[Mega-Bear]

you won't be able to reliably deflect

That would depend on how much skill the Pyro has.

I use Philostigator or however you spell it lol
Sometimes it's best just to dodge stuff rather than constantly deflecting it

This is the mindset and weapon for people who play like it's a tdm and not objective based. Airblast is for more then just protecting yourself.

It says if you kill somebody, which will tell you if a spy dead ringered if I rememeber right.

Still an upgrade.

It's a team game.

[Regulith]

If your idea of fun doesn't involve helping your team, you're stopping other people from having fun because if there isn't any teamwork the enemy team will destroy you.

I know it is, but you guys completely take the fun out of it being so 'serious'.
'oh hey look someone doesnt use airblast lets go tell them why their opinion on what they use'

I help my team by cap'ing points and killing people. That's all there is to it. Mostly I just want to enjoy myself. If apparently the only way I can help my team with pyro is by using airblast, why the hell is he even called pyro. Why not call him 'air' or 'deflect'.

Hell in the first versions of TF2 there WAS no airblast. It was just a flamethrower, and to be honest I wish it had stayed that way. Then we wouldn't get people like you guys coming in and saying 'you don't have skill if you don't use airblast'. Pyro is about setting people on fire. He IS a mad man class. That's his personality and the way I think he's meant to be played. If you guys think and play different that's fine by me but just stop loving shoving it into everyone elses face.
