Breaking down your hottest Pyro takes [TF2]
Everyone's got an opinion, and some are more controversial than others. Let's capitalize on that! I collected a ton of hot takes about the class people have no idea how to play, and I figured discussing them would be interesting since opinions on Pyro seem to be all over the place. (And yes, this includes my own.) Let me know if you want to see something like this again in the future!

"Why upload this on your side channel instead of your main?" The direction my main channel is heading is beginning to warrant higher and higher quality per video which I don't think lesser-edited videos like this uphold very well. While there's definitely an audience for this sort of thing, most people on Great Blue are there for the maps with friends and "What if?" videos, and I want (most of) the uploads on there to have time put into them rather than being unfiltered 2+ hour discussions. There's still plenty of quicker-to-edit stuff I enjoy making, though, so Blue's Roost is my compromise so that I can continue to make these "auxiliary" videos without annoying the fans of my main series on Great Blue. Who knows - if videos on this channel become popular, maybe I'll consider putting some more time into them and moving them back over. (Plus, should I ever decide to move my main channel away from TF2, I'll still want somewhere established to talk about TF2 stuff since I can't imagine myself ever completely leaving this game.)

Abusing TF2's most BROKEN map
Переглядів 46 тис.Місяць тому
I've said for years that Uber Upgrades would be a super fun alternative gamemode in casual TF2. And this year we got our wish! Well, almost anyway, since the balance is still a bit iffy. I'm sure it'll be fixed, but in the mean time, let's abuse the crap out of Freaky Fair's broken upgrades! Normally the concept of Vaccinator stacking makes me shrivel up and die inside, but this time around it ...
What if we deleted half of TF2's weapons?
Переглядів 115 тис.2 місяці тому
Picture this thought experiment: Valve announces that half of the unlockable weapons in TF2 would be deleted - however, the community would be the ones to decide which weapons got to stay and which ones had to go. In this case, which weapons would you choose? Well, that's the discussion that @fishstickonastick-gaming and I wanted to have, and as it turns out, the decisions were a lot harder to ...
What is TF2's Cheesiest Weapon?

You ever die to a TF2 weapon you know is statistically balanced but still think it's unfair? Call now, we can help. This is a tier list ranking every weapon in TF2 based on how "cheesy" it is (or in other words, how unfun/unfair it feels to play against). This is NOT necessarily a discussion of balance - while a weapon being unbalanced could make it feel more cheesy, that is completely secondar...
The most absurd TF2 weapon rebalance video
Переглядів 1 млн6 місяців тому
A test of a style of video I want to try! This is a video from creator Grouch that's been floating around the TF2 sphere recently and become rather infamous for the absurd rebalance ideas. Originally I wanted to dissect them with fellow weapon rebalance enthusiast FishStickOnAStick as a more serious analysis of what makes rebalances work and not. However, upon having more friends join the discu...

You automatically lose. If a weapin is good that no one else uses its competitors. then it is brolen (same applies for crossbow)

    It's odd to me that you talk about removing overlap, yet keep both Eyelander and Claymore, given that Eyelander is just a worse Claymore until you collect 2 heads. I think the decision should've been between those 2 swords, and I think I would keep the Eyelander, because in the end it's more fun to collect heads.

    While I agree that Pyro's spy command is easy to recognize in and of itself I dislike that the voice command is exactly the same regardless of who you accuse of being a spy. You can't point out a specific class being a spy because the voiceline doesn't change.

    I would say back scratcher is better if you are going into the backlines as pyro without a pocket where your only healing is health packs. but powerjack is way better if you are going on point because of the mobility boost

    26:05 this is at least accurate for me, the only reason i considered playing pyro in the first place is the contracts. That might also be why I seem to enjoy the dragon's fury and thermal thruster more than other pyro players.

    6:21 i love how you deliberately avoided the scorch shit, braindead spam of soldier? Check. Pyro takes no aim whatsoever? CHeck. wtf is ""hard"" to master bruh you are the class with the most crutch mechanics in the game, except maybe soldier. Afterburn, scorch shit, airblast hitbox the size of nicocado before his villain arc, free mobility in form of detonator, most of your arsenal takes less aim than a braindead soldier shooting the floor (that's why pyrotards have the "flare gun hawd" cope) anyway, pyro IS THE class for people with down's syndrome

  • @chime8784
    @chime8784 3 дні тому

    i never experienced the glory of the pre nerf axtinguisher but i absolutely love it today - the one issue i have is the difference in damage from degreaser to flamethrower. i would like to try out a version that does damage based on time since ignition (or last ignition). i wont throw out any damage numbers, but i don’t think the degreaser penalty should make the axtinguisher worse by extension. or, maybe the axtinguisher’s damage could be calculated as if it had the stock after burn? idk i’d love to get more opinions on this

    • @chime8784
      @chime8784 3 дні тому

      another idea just for fun: what if there was like a split second window after ignition where the axting did a full crit? and i mean an incredibly tight window, like a pyro on pyro flare punch. wouldn’t affect much except for making those flashy combos more rewarding again, at the cost of greater precision

    Ok so, old man sniper main here, from way back pre MvM. Sniper then was balanced mostly but it was definitely rather strong if you played it correctly , though most snipers were eye candy. That said, communism does actually have good answers to questions the issue is the good answers are, right now, too ideal. Given that war is still a necessary part of any countries survival.

  • @incendispike7845
    @incendispike7845 4 дні тому

    my biggest problem with pyro is that every single one of his flamethrowers aside from stock hinder airblast in some way. degreaser and backburner make it more ammo costly, dragon's fury slows it down and technically makes it more costly too as you only get 8 uses (i think?) as opposed to stock's 10, and then the phlog outright removes it. if i had to change them, i personally would make the degreaser's airblast cost 5 LESS ammo rather than 5 more, since the penalty its of fire being less effective would make sense if it were more 'air focused.' I also think the backburner should be toned down slightly, maybe to 30-35 so you aren't sacrificing a fourth of your pool anytime you want to reflect something or extinguish someone, which i tend to do a lot and i'm sure i'm not alone in this regard.

    For my opinion on the baby face blaster, is that to keep it. Even tho it isnt the best on like normal game mode it shines on versus saxton hale (vsh) since scout cant out RUN hale whit other guns (even tho he can dodge him he will short live) whit baby face blaster if he Has hit hale enough for max speed he can barely outrun hale and be annoyance.
