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 actually like to use the Backburner and be a sneaky Pyro. And then back burn people.

Dusty hates a lot of stuff. Like, everything that is an unlock.

i do this all the time with the normal flame thrower

once, i bumped into a cloaked spy and we just decided to not say anything about eachother

BackBurner is for Spyros.  :cookieMonster:

I don't have any problems killing a pyro as:
Medic
Pyro
Soldier
Heavy
Demoman
Sniper

heck, i can kill a pyro with a spy and scout if i'm careful! engineer is not a problem if you place the gun in the right place... i don't get this topic.

Its skills, and common sense.
Would you go run with the scatter gun to kill a Pyro? NO
You will probably use the pistol.

The problem is a lot of people, such as me, are very bad at Pyro and could barely pull off Flaregun hits or successful ambushes on enemies.

I use the scatter gun when I'm right behind them.

This. Apart from the "offense is unacceptable" part.

I've been on that server, and it sucks. Stop playing low grav
The FaN is a nuch closer range version of the scattergun. Get up close, land both shots and it's over. If you see some handicapped scout running at you from a distance with this, just pick them off with your secondary.

Scout sucks now, I can't believe valve would nerf the sandman.

Agreed. I die twice as fast with the Sandman, in fact, it only takes about one demoman grenade to kill you.

Sandmand sucked before, still sucks now.

No, sandman was the only good thing in the scout update, now all the scout has is a slightly different shotgun, a bat that lowers his health, and a can of crack.

Scouts are amazing all the same, they really didn't need the sandman to begin with.
