Pyro is Cheap

learn to aim, cigarette

Go talk to a military sniper and tell him "LERN 2 AIM cigarette".
My objective is to kill you quickly and easily. When a headshot is not able to be made, I will take down my enemy with precise fire and heavy weaponry. I am not an idiot and I do not think aiming at a person's head is a skill in a game.

Plus, I give my enemy a chance to kill me, making the situation more tense and enjoyable.
Like I stated, as long as I kill you, I don't give a forget.

All the Drama over bodyshots is annoying and stupid. I play games to kill and stay alive. Not having to waste time and aim at a head while a Medic has an ubercharge ready is crucial to the war effort. I've shunted many ubers with a well-placed bodyshots.
I play games as if I was fighting in reality. It helps to develop tactics. And guess what children? In reality, it only really takes one.
The times I do make headshots is to kill heavies, healed medics, or Eyelander-cigarette demomen. I have confidence in my aim and the fact I can one-shot most classes, Headshots or not. Both do one-hit kill. One less enemy to deal with, more time to defend crucial points. I have no need for the "OMG NICE HEDSHAWT U AM SKILLD" people in games.

Excuse me? How about I come over there and slice your head off? Or would you like me to set a sticky trap?

Yes, charge at me. I love putting bullets in their heads when they charge. Their shields stained with blood and their brains splatted against the walls. Yes. YES.

On topic: I think the Eyelander was just a stupid thing to do. May as well move "Demoman" to offense. I'm probably the only one who uses the SR.

-LONG POST SNIP-

Well, I see your point but this is why I don't aim for the head, but for the neck, it's close enough to the shoulders that if I don't hit my mark I still get a bodyshot but close enough to the had that it counts for a headshot.

Here are some of my tactics against the pyro. I have some for the demo, but I will reveal those in time.
As a pyro:
When you encounter an enemy pyro you should use your normal axe and shotgun. Line your shots up and avoid flame thrower range. At the same time you should be strafing. When you feel confident run in at an angle and fire 3 shotgun shots and chop it with an axe. Thus leaving you with a kill under your belt.

As a solider:
When you encounter the pyro you should becarful on where fire your rockets. Never melee a pyro unless you are some mad man. Try and fire your rockets at the pyro from behind so that way they are deflected so quickly. Alternatively you could have scout distract the pyro for you and you can unleash your deadly payload of rockets and shotgun pellets from a safe distance.

As a Heavy:
Simple: Use Natascha to slow w+m1s and kill them dead with your shotgun when they get close.

at least try and aim for the head, or stop playing sniper.

Or the neck, which is what I do.

Sniper is not about headshots. It's about taking down targets long-range. I'll play whatever I want to. Even though I hate Backburner Pyros, Force-a-Gayture scouts, and Lucksman snipers, I deal with them.

So your basically saying that pretty much all updates to the game are cheap?

This.

The headshot dilemma is going in the opposite direction of where reason and logic points: headshots should be removed.

3/24 is "pretty much all updates"?

I wouldn't go that far, but considering:
1) The Huntsman has insane headshot hitboxes, and an arrow to my hand kills me, lol.
All you have to do is peek around corners and fire hoping to hit the box the size of Wisconsin. Not to mention snipers go on the offense which is unacceptable.
2) I don't hate Backburner pyros because of the crits, the airblast is a vital function of a pyro. They don't even use it the right way. They still use it for W+M1ing.
3) The FaN is an OK weapon on normal servers, but the only server I play on is low grav and it's terrible.
4) Equalizer is a blatant upgrade and no downside.
5) Eyelander + Targe was a stupid thing to do. Again, VALVe blurs the lines that seperates the class, like they did with the Huntsman.

I suck at all classes so i just pick the pyro.
demoman is harder than it looks
