The flames light you up from 30 feet away, dont forget the flare gun too. And theres pretty much no area in tf2 thats "long range" where pyro cant sprint to in a few seconds
Don't know about you, but I can just BARELY reach mid-range with the flamethrowers.

Then blame the maps and not the class...?
In all serious, if there needs to be a change on how the Pyro works, it should be by making a steeper distance-damage ramp for all the flamethrowers. From just barely coming in contact with the flames, the flamethrower should be doing something like 3 damage per particle, not 4, nor should they combust into afterburn from that far away. If not that, make the flamethrower overheat and chew up more metal as it burns.
