Leaving aside furfags, ponyfags, pyrofags and grills that main pyro and probably will mindlessly join the pyro army, the REAL CLASS that needs balance is HEAVY i mean come on, pyro had enough shit already, also a new weapon for heavy would be really neat.

Post your loadouts and react to my good fortune.

Enjoy being mowed down by your direct counter.

New shotgun pls

lolwut

are these petulant soldiers or just idiots? heavy is literally useless. pyro isn't even in the top three 'most broken/useless' classes.

Mad heavy main

whenever i see golden frying pans i am reminded of that reddit screencap of the guy complaining that people could pick up and use the golden frying pan he paid $3000 for and cant help but laugh

also lmao'ing at your life for playing pyro

...

waiting for the new prinny outfit

Why is it people can't read
You don't need to play as the class to earn points for them, you just choose a side and earn points no matter what class you play

But Pyro's utility is directly proportional to the enemy's dumbness, all his main weapons do shit damage unless you are in melee range, his main utility is stopping ubers and demo and soldiers can do that as well while also actually killing stuff and being infinitely more mobile

Tldr
Vote hoovy. Only cucks and 12 year olds play pyro. In fact, it doesn't matter. Both are going to get their shit eventually. That is if tf2 survives another year. The only thing worth looking into are the comics and it's not even confirmed if there is a comic that follows the storyline included in this update.
>inb4 overshill fag
I don't support Overwatch and I don't support tf2

I LOVE BOTH OF THEM BOTH AS CHARACTERS AND AS GAMEPLAY

FUCK YOU VOLVO Y U DO DIS

You probably support copious amounts of cocks in your mouth tho

I main demopan. Not heavy

That's ur mothers job. Also how is this relevant

I'm assuming this whole "earn points for Heavy/Pyro" is only gonna work on Valve servers, right?

You can only earn points for your side on the new Matchmaking (both Competitive and Casual)
So technically yes

>the REAL CLASS that needs balance is HEAVY
But Pyro is utter dogshit at the moment, he's the one more desperately in need of changes.

>big patch coming
>whoa guys biggest patch in years is coming
>big stuff happening behind the scens
>just saw the upcoming patch and WOW

>its literally just competitive that was already out in beta and a vote on what they might work on next

...

They haven't revealed the balance notes yet.

I need to repaint my mask but I don't know which color

You're delusional if you think heavy needs more love then pyro right now.

Try to see past "NEW TOYS 4 MY MAIN XDD" for a few seconds.

UPDATE IS LIVE

Nice.

Heavy is by far my least played class (like 50h out of 3700), because its just so samey and slow, not because it's underpowered. I dont really care for its balancing because ive seen some people make heavy seem really OP. But some more option and variety would be nice, and I dont mean just a new minigun/shotgun.
I dont really give a shit about Pyro though, I think its a fine meme class for fucking around and doesnt necessarily need to change.

Pyro doesn't deserve anything good. Hell if anything they should remove it from the game all together since it's the most terrible class.

ruseman

In competitive, it's so important to have a pyro to deflect shit and stall ubers.

It's not useless, but it's not good enough. The pyro needs anything else other than the nothing it has.

>The Carlton
based valve

You can counter W+M1 by shooting the Pyro and generally not being shit at the game

>Pyro Is unarguably the worst class
LOL

Hi spy main/ F2P soldier

I don't think he's going to get weapons but just incase I crafted 25 pyro tokens, 10 primary tokens, 10 secondary tokens and 5 melee

I'm ready for crafting

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
NEXT LEVEL STUFF

He is the worst class
Medic is essential in every team
Scout, soldier, and demoman are the generalists and thus always good
Heavy and Engineer are decent for defending the final point
Spy and Sniper are decent for picking off important classes
Pyro is just there to stall ubers for 8 seconds and then fuck off

#rekt

Its gonna be nothing and you know it

>Oh, and new taunts, new crates, a whole crapload of game balances and a bunch of other stuff.
>a whole crapload of game balances

I want revenge for what they did to the miniguns. Heavy first, even though the furries, kids, and mexicans will all vote pyro.

Totally glad they finally named all the miniguns, though.

It's just competing to see which one gets an update first. They're both getting updates.

Oh boy! Ruin more fun items to make them 'comp friendly' like the cladamor! I CANT WAIT. TAKE MY PHONE NUMBER

>backtracking

Heavy needs some kind of fundamental stat boosting to be made more viable. The difficulty of this is why they've continuously delayed it, but it only becomes more pressing with every update.

Soldier/Demo/Knight needs to be reworked, Sodier and Demo should be merged down to Demo ('the explosives guy') and Knight split off and made its own legitimate class.

Pyro is actually almost fine. Airblast reflecting could use some tweaking to be more reliable and useful (starting with the fix that it actually work as advertised, moving from there to reduced self-damage and making it easier to do in the first place, etc.).

Scout should have Atomizer and Winger both integrated as base features of the class (I would even say to let Scout jump infinitely, as long as he has the health for it, but obviously that would need some other reworks to handle things such as quickfix medics). There is no excuse for 'the mobility guy' to require a specific loadout to actually fulfill that role, and otherwise be completely outmoded by 'the jack of all trades'.

speaking of soldier. he has to go. i said above, he and demo should be merged. this should definitely be the mechanism to kill Soldier, more than anything else.

This is the dumbest post I've ever read and I wish I could smack you through the internet for it.

Let's go Pybros

Not only does Heavy need a revamp more, pyro also happen to be bronies or faggots 99% of the time

It's an easy choice

Is that how it works now?

MAKE PYROS GREAT
MAKE PYROS GREAT FOR ONCE
BELIEVE WITH ME TOGETHER

I agree melee should be its own class and not a tumor attached to Demoman, but everything else in your post is garbage.

yeah he's fucking retarded and thinks team fortress is paladins

>for once
Pyro was great before Degreaser and Axtinguisher were nerfed.

>being a combofaggot
Serves you right, you stupid nerd.

>might
>likely

Loadouts?

as expected of a scout main

When does the update go live?

I don't actually play dress up, I just throw on the most expensive shit I have.


Think I'm gonna go get some lime green/pink paint. Maybe get that Beanie.

I always combo'd with Degreaser and Flare Gun, so it didn't hit me as hard, but the point still stands.
Comboing is the only non-braindead way to get kills as Pyro.

today

comboing was so fun though

Valve Time dictates the update goes live next week.

ho many hours

How about you actually learn how to play as Pyro before talking out of your ass?

>comboing
>fun

I would, but i recentl sold my cosmetics, or at least the ones that sold for any amount.

At least i still have my team captain

However many there are left until late Thursday afternoon Specific Time.

I barely play TF2 and this is still the single worst post in regards to the game I've ever read.

69 rofl

i dont know western world time

FUCK PYROS
TEAM HEAVY WW@?

Alright, tell meh ow you play Pyro. I'm sure it's even more fun and viable.

playing pyro the "proper" way makes him a useless piece of dogshit that just to the team whose only use is to spycheck in anything besides a braindead pub, the combo was the only reason pyro was remotely viable

>doesn't know what a flare punch is

Pyro is only good for running around mindlessly anyways.

They aren't as viable as other classes in comp 6's so you end up as top retard in a Valve pub server.

all heavy needs is that stupid minigun ramp-up nerf removed

pyro needs to be both viable and fun to play against

i don't trust valve to do the latter so i'm gonna go with big guy team

reporting in

My dream would be that the reversal of that update that removed Heavies picking up their own Sanfviches as health packs the GRU's doing -6/s or w/e instead of minicrits.

Oh wow, I haven't heard opinions this wrong in any while. I'd hate to have either of you in my team, since you clearly know less about the game than your average Middle East F2P player.

Or how about instead of whining endlessly about "muh combos waaaa! ;_;" you actually try the Pyro's other weapons, huh? The Detonator, the Backburner, the Powerjack, the Homewrecker, the Scorcher Shot, you know?

...

You might need to stop playing solely in pubs if you think pyro is viable in his current state against good players as anything other than a spychecker who can sometimes reflect

You seem to be the one endlessly whining without making any actual points.

I like both classes but im gonna have to agree that Heavy has the less amount of weapons compared to pyro, plus he needs some love after a while

I laughed at this line.

...

>I'm bad at the game.

You took a really long time to say nothing.

Rate my Carl Hoovy

Or don't, It don't matter

None of this matters/10

I mean, it's an item set. It's gonna look decent together no matter what but it's kinda uncreative.

lmao I have the exact cosmetic loadout

I just got voted off of an official server for not being friendly
This game is fucking dead
