Backburner downgraded.

About damn time.

By krossbowkid 4 years ago

Well, I just updated TF2 and I see that it says, removes pyro's +50 hp with backburner. To be honest with you, i think its a good thing. Pyros had so much health before it was ridiculous, Like trying to kill a heavy.

So anyway, now that you dont get +50 hp what are your thoughts, Yay or Nay for backburner?

I think i'll still use the backburner but I do like this update. Makes TF2 more even.

    Even though I had unlocked it I never used the backburner, I always found that the air blast was more useful to my team, besides I am not very good at sneaking around.

    I personally hate it, the backburner already sucked, now no one will use it just cause it can't reflect projectiles nor do decent damage.

    If they fixed the crits on it I would be OK with it, but the crit from behind thing is so buggy it hardly ever works for me. before, it was mostly a choice between gas-hog shield thing and +50 hp, now it's gas hog shield or go fuck off...

    The only real reason I used the backburner was the health increase, which is really useful for the Pyro's general survivability. Now that it's gone, I will use the flamethrower basic more.

    It's a shame really; Pyro is my favorite class, yet I prefer all the default weapons to the unlocks.

    Yea.. the extra health is what made it worth while, but now i might as well use the air blast, the crits from behind dont work well.

    The +50 HP for the pyro was never a good idea in the first place,it makes the pyro overpowered and can kill level 2 sentries just by bum rushing the sentry.Also nobody is a soldier when the pyro had the +50 HP
