hard mode, actually

it's pretty shit honestly

good for knocking people off ledges on Nucleus and not much else

loser

I will send my condolences to your kangaroo wife

>hit a player from across the map
>it deals 130 damage due to the bouncing flare and afterburn
>can hit additional players with the blast, dealing up to 80 damage to them
>huge knockback to disorient players
>decent jumps
I've been exclusively using the Detonator for years thinking "Valve will nerf the Scorch Shot any day now".

fact: a players skill is inversely proportionate to how good they think the scorch shot is

It's a fun troll weapon to bounce around on crowds, and good for building up Phlog.

you must be fun at arena servers

for how safe you can be with this weapon it's too good at area denial and is just an all around better flaregun. all the detonator is better at is jumps, and all the flaregun is better at is punching

Thx m8

this the flamethrower and the powerjack all day

Why not the Degreaser? The afterburn penalty means nothing if you hit them with the Scorch Shot. 8 airblasts instead of 10 isn't a noteworthy downside, especially when the Scorch Shot knockback can be used as a pseudo-airblast.

why close the gap when you can do 130 damage from any range?
what an absolutely retarded weapon design.

it just feels better

I wish the Axetinguisher would come back.

>completely fucks over any 125 health class if they don't have anyway to put the fire out or heal
>requires as much aim as a rocket launcher (none)
seriously what the FUCK were they thinking?

watch them nerf the detonator and buff the scorch shot

90 dmg crit is nothing.
Increase the flares crit to 120 and i might switch back to it.

Its fun to fuck with snipers with it

>e celeb opinion

>watch them nerf the detonator and buff the scorch shot
Considering that they nerfed the Ambassador and did nothing to the Diamondback, I'm not surprised.

Pyro is already weak class. Having one good weapon causes such a massive butthurt.

pyro is not weak.
he can become invincible to all projectile weapons and he has one of the second highest dmg paired with a fast default movement compared to soldier and demoman

It's essentially a bad self target kritzkreig with the phlog. Otherwise useless.

just dont stay clumped together. its only punishing you noobs who play like that

His movement means jack shit. Imagine a rocket launcher that gave you pyro movespeed but no rocket jumping. Nobody would use it.

why use anything other than the flare gun? Killing the enemy is always better and the flare gun kills anything weakned in 2 hits.

annoying people to death is a completely viable tactic

only scout and another class should ideally be on point others defending. its like you noobs dont know how to play

true. I guess I don't have it in me to play like that

Diamond back is fine, you barely get kills with spy in 2020

It's fun for phlog abuse and making people mad. I prefer the shotty or flare for actual results though.

why use the flaregun when you can use the shotgun for constant 80 - 90 damage.
its either spam and harass from a distance with the scorch or use the shotgun.
flaregun is literally useless

Reflections are not reliable source of damage.
Pyro is designed around protecting nest/combo and spychecking. Only offensive capability comes from ambushing.
Also:
-axtinguisher nerfed, because people complained that close range class was killing them up close
-same with phlog
-same with dragon fury

>that one pyro that always lands direct flare shots

anyone under my sights is dead. I hit flaregun shots across the map for 90 where the shotgun would do 5 if you're lucky

Who cares, it's fun to use. Especially on stages with endless pits like Upward
