2500 likes and we'll react to How it FEELS To Play Demoman! I've got a couple gameplay videos backlogged for when this series is done and I'll try and play all the mercs once in a video each at least 😁
How it feels to play Demoman is probably my favorite one. May be a bit biased as a Demo main though lol
Pyro's real name is (unknown) and he was born on (unknown) he has had one job as a accountant and was brought back into the mercenary business and that's it literally we know nothing about him they tried implying that he's a woman and it fooled some people but then we never got an answer to that either so we except pyro as he is
Watch the pyro behind the scenes vid first bro
If you’re going to check out “How it feels to play Demoman,” please don’t forget to watch the extras video. It’s basically just even more of the original video.
Hey, please if you haven't look at a lore video on Half Life since you have no idea who Gman or better yet
THE SCIENCE TEEEEEEEAM!
Technically speaking, on its own the air blast cannot damage people, but if you push someone off the map, that’s an instant death.
Watch jontohil2, he’s a great spy main
After that: well damn. Pyro’s really are our ennemies.
You can kill in x10, x100, or x1000
@@diglit4311 really? How much damage does it do base?
I'm a spy main but I'm not a weeb
As a Pyro main myself, I can confirm, he is indeed a LOT of fun to play once you get the hang of him! And I agree with Lazy on a bunch of points. Airblast is basically a god send for Pyro and makes your life playing him a billion times easier than just running in setting everyone and everything in your path on fire. The only "boring" bit would probably be the Spy Watch bit, but even then, it can still be fun especially when. You catch the enemy Spy off guard. Its so worth it in the end.
As a Soldier main I tell you a Medic + Heavy combo doesn't scare me as much as an experienced Pyro in close quarters. When I'm up against a combo, I might at least be able to take out the Medic before going down. Against a good Pyro my life is just over
So, there's a concept in most fps games between Hitscan and Projectile: Hitscan are typically bullets, and automatically hit anything they "scan" where aimed at, whereas projectiles have models and air time. Rockets, Grenades, Sticky Bombs, and also Jarate, Huntsman Arrows, Mad Milk, the Gas Passer, and similar weapons are considered Projectiles, and can be Airblasted
I think everything that comes out of a gun, with some specific exceptions, are projectiles
Like, even the Dragon Fury's flames are considered a projectile for airblast purposes.
Obviously with the added exception of hitscan stuff
@@rompevuevitos222
Lmao, imagine killing the other pyro by just airblasting
@@dumbleking5172 it happened by accident to me the other day
I did not even notice they had a dragon fury, but i was at like 20 hp
So i pre emptively air blasted to escape and i iust see the guy suffer a 135 mini crit or so and just become a ragdoll
It wasn't until i inspected the body that i found out what had happened
the short circuit ball can also be reflected
Ive tried so many FPS games, TF2 is the only one i keep coming back to 😂
Deep Rock Galactic
TF2 players are build different.
I can't though because of PayDay2,i gotta buy an ssd card
Same lol. Getting auto-balanced at the last minute in dust bowl just hits different
@@OreTheCoconut that's an absurd level of adrenaline
Watching lazy purple is a blessing, a gift from god i might say
Our god: HEAVY
100% true bro :D
Especially for the first time
just like scout
Amen
Pyro is, in summary, a jack of all trades class. Damage and support packed into one somewhat beefy boi is a force to be reckoned with. Eventually you’ll hear some… unpleasant… stuff about him from the community but that’s when we get to use our favorite phrase: “COPE! AND! SEETHE!”
Eh technically Soldier holds the title of "Jack of all trades class."
You can trade into offense tho with the Dragon's Fury
detonator and airblast fans when i show them soldier
Those are the majority soldier mains malding because they can't steamroll trough pyro like they do with every other class
@@XC11301991 eh, not really. He's the most versatile power class but pyro is the jack of all trades
As a TF2 man I can shed some light on the situation
Pyro in TF2 was designed as a close range dps class with an emphasis on flanking, but over the years pyro got more supportive options allowing him to take on a support role as seen in the video.
Airblast: a non damaging reflect used by the pyro. It can only reflect projectiles (Rocket, the grenade launcher’s piles, crossbow bolts and many other things, not bullets) activated by a right click.
It's actually pretty funny how Overwatch essentially took the TF2 classes' kits and mixed and mashed them to make a bunch of different heroes.
Genji's reflect, Mei's primary fire, Lucio's push, all originally came from Pyro in a weird way.
Hell if you think about it Reaper, Genji and Tracer are basically just Scout split into 3 characters.
For the early Sandwich joke, yes Pyro can eat a sandwich even if Heavy is dead to gain health, it's instant. The joke however that LazyPurple was doing is how can Pyro eat a sandwich with a mask on all the time.
The weapon the Dead Ringer is a shell of its former self. It use to be very busted but now it's kind of meh, it's still alright to use for certain situations. The weapon itself creates a fake corpse for your death and you would go instant cloaked while having high damage resistance. Upon decloak you create a loud as noise as its "downside." Back then, it easily recharged with itembox pickups or picking up said itembox while you're clocked to run away farther. Overall it was spammable. These days it has less damage resistance and not easy to charge, but giving a tradeoff of high movement speed when triggered. One of the most broken Spy sets back in the day was Dr. EnforCicle. Using the broken original OP Enforcer gun, with the spycicle that removed afterburn and had silent kills, and the original good Dead Ringer. Spy was just straight up a broken DPS class with this setup in 1v1's.
Dead Ringer is still meta, idk what you're talking about
They just removed the ability to use it non-stop and made it actually have downsides from stock.
It's still a get out of jail free card and it's mere existence disrupts the entire enemy team. But now you can't circumvent the cooldown anymore
Airblast only works on projectiles, not bullets (which are hitscan), and its only active for a couple of frames with a decent cooldown between uses, so you need to time your reflects well in order to reflect projectiles due to its smaller hitbox - you can't just press the button and wait for someone to shoot you like what I've seen in Overwatch reflects from Genji. You can also extinguish burning teammates or push away enemy characters with it.
Its really cool to see the pov of someone who most likely doesn't play tf2 get a little experience of it through Lazypurples videos. Good stuff!
You should watch behind the scenes videos, they tell you fun facts about the creations of the video, and he talks about thinks he doesn't talk in the main video.
My favourite Pyro weapon is the Dragon's Fury, which changes Pyro's playstyle from a support to an offensive brute that can shred a light class (scouts, engies) in two shots +afterburn. It also requires me to aim more, so that's a fun challenge.
The Pyro's airblast deflects large projectiles like rockets, pipe bombs, and sticky bombs. It can also deflect arrows and flares just not bullets and pellets.
Can't wait for the reaction to how it FEELS to play Demoman
The only things that Pyro and Mei have common are that they both have a short-ranged weapon that applies a negative status effect and also have a secondary attack that gives them a long-range, projectile-based option.
Another nice video from ya! I have some trivia fir ya:
- Regarding if airblast does damage: No. It only pushes enemies away from you. It is quite useful in pushing away ubered enemies, who are invincible to all damage except knockback.
- The "Mmmph!" meter for the Phlogistinator is a bar at the bottom that fills up with every enemy you damaged. Once it's full, you can right-click/taunt with the weapon to gain guaranteed critical hits for several seconds. While taunting, you are under the effects of Uber until the taunt finishes.
- The Dead Ringer is a watch that can fake a spy's death by turning you invisible, dropping a fake corpse where you were, and giving you a small speed and resistance booth. It does, however, have its downsides:
> You can not cloak with this watch. It only activates when you're hit.
> You must have the Dead Ringer active (holding it in front of you) in order for it to work.
> When it fakes your death, it takes up half of your cloak meter.
> Decloaking makes a loud, distinct sound that may alert any nearby enemies.
> Veteran players can tell when a Dead Ringer is active, as its ability activates upon HIT, not DEATH.
> And the one shown in this video: The Dead Ringer's ability doesn't activate when you die from hazards on maps.
2:02 No, sandwiches still work. It's just a joke about Pyro's gas mask.
2:12 That just happens to be how Lazy plays the class. Pyro is one of the more flexible characters in terms of play style.
5:23 Which is kinda funny, because airblast wasn't even part of Pyro's kit when the game launched. It wasn't added until nearly a year into the game's life.
6:22 Yes. Once you're lit on fire, you take damage every half a second for ten seconds, though there are several ways you can extinguish yourself prematurely.
7:55 Technically Lazy is only riding the knockback here, but it is possible for you to reflect jump as Pyro.
8:14 No, it only reflects and does knockback. It does turn normal projectiles into mini-crits, though.
8:52 Yeah. Most classes have at least one projectile weapon that can be reflected, but Soldier and Demo are the easiest to reflect and give the most reward for doing so.
9:27 Correct. Reflects only work on projectile weapons. Hitscan weapons (read: anything that fires bullets) can't be reflected.
10:06 It's just a normal Demo line pitched up.
14:27 Yes, that's exactly how it works.
15:34 Nobody knows. It's a bit of a running joke that we know nothing about what the Pyro looks like underneath the suit, not even their gender. In fact, if you rewatch Meet the Pyro with closed captions on, you'll notice in the interview segment that Scout says "He's not here, is she?"
16:36 What keeps the Dead Ringer balanced is that using it sacrifices your ability to cloak on demand, it has a very loud decloak sound, and you can't spam it. Your instincts aren't wrong though, because it was kind of overpowered for most of its life.
17:18 You can if you use one of the Pyro's flare guns instead of the shotgun.
18:20 It's the Phlogistinator. It's the weapon Lazy was talking about at 11:06.
18:45 Why not? It's fun.
19:00 It's a hat called the Killer Exclusive, and it can be worn by all classes. Nobody knows what Pyro's story is.
The way airblast works is that it can only reflect projectiles, since bullets are hitscan. The most important of them are rockets and grenades. But there are some projectiles that can explicitly not be reflected.
Airblast can also push enemies back and extinguish burning teammates.
Might I suggest Doug Doug’s video “Overwatch and TF2, but explained with food”, as it breaks down the two games and comparing them, but with food puns. It’s great.
Pyro's Airblast (used by right clicking with the flamethrower) can reflect ANY non-bullet projectile (such as a rockets, sticky bombs, Jarate, Arrows etc.)
On top of this, Pyro has the Home Wrecker melee which can break a spy's sapper similar to an engineer breaking it with his wrench. Pyro also has access to almost every shotgun sidegrade (with notable exceptions such as Engineers primary shotguns.) He also has some unique sidegrades to replace his shotgun, such as the flare gun which uses a projectile to ignite enemies and the gas passer which spread a thick cloud of gasoline that can set enemies on fire if shot.
(Pyro is also immune to afterburn because of his flame resistant suit, but this doesn't apply to the Gas Passer which CAN give him afterburn. this however almost never matters because The Gas Passer ISN'T GOOD in casual, let alone competitive. It's mostly used in Mann vs Machine)
(Edit: with the mentioning of the dead ringer. if you take damage while holding it out, you'll go invis and drop a ragdoll. You also gain some damage resistance and increased speed. the only downside is that the dead ringer has a distinct decloak noise which is VERY LOUD. Some other unique spy weapons include the Eternal Reward which cloaks you as the person you killed when you backstab them, as normally you undisguise when you attack. There's also the Spycicle that melts if you get hit by fire, protecting you from the effects of burning to death but stopping you from backstabbing until it recharges. There's also the cloak and dagger, a cloak watch that recharges WHILE you're cloaked but only if you're standing still)
yeah, dead ringer used to be really busted. it gives you, like 67% damage resistance on the first that hits you and really big speed boost. But back in the day, you could refill it with ammo boxes. So, you had these spies that would just go for a backstab, dead ringer, get the nearest ammo box and repeat. A good spy with a kunai and dead ringer was basically immortal.
I'm really glad Kieran reacted to this one because it's by far my favorite How it Feels To Play video lol-
A bit of Pyro lore. The giggles in his mask, makes him see this happy go lucky and fun world, where all the mercenaries are babies with wings and his flamethrower is a trumpet of sorts that shoots rainbows so he is unaware of all the blood and gore around him. That’s why when you see the little insights with the colorful world and baby mercenaries that’s what Pyro sees.
you gotta watch the extras!! they’re behind the scenes/extra content that weren’t in the main vid, pyros is hilarious in particular
fun fact: in the comics abraham lincoln was blue team's first pyro
Random 😂
@@ChocolateKieran also he invented stairs
You should watch the extras from this and how it feels to play sniper and when you get to how it feels to play demoman watch the extras from it there are funny bits and helpful tips in them
there's this fun little custom game where both teams are locked to playing only Pyro. there's a massive chasm between both teams, everyone gets ammo every few seconds, and it's basically Extremely Lethal Dodgeball. a seeking rocket is released into the arena and will randomly target a player. the goal is to not get hit by it and have at least one member on your team still standing when the other team is wiped out.
two key things to remember about this:
1. The rocket gets faster the more times it is airblasted
2. The rocket will be crit-boosted when it is reflected enough times.
both of the above are base game behavior(as far as i know, anyway), so it is possible to make a very short game of Crocket(Crit + Rocket) Dodgeball in a casual match.
kieran: *doing the intro*
some guy named mitchy890: HE'S HAD ME IN HERE FOR 70 DAYS
LMAO, they all do that almost every video! 😭
Gotta watch behind the scenes for this series as well
Suggestion which is irrelevant to lazypurle.
Could you react to the Emesis Blue movie, it's an amazing thriller with high production
Mechanic of this game about demo and soldier is they can rocket jump or demo blast you but when they on different side, it can help you or bring you straight to countdown board
also there is a community game mod called dodgeball, where you play only pyro and need to reflect a bomb/rocket into enemy pyros (also the rocket becomes faster after every reflect); and their is hide and seek to, where the seekers are pyro and the hides scouts
Indeed. The Codename Kids Next Door reference was truly legendary. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy anyone?
6:41 *AWAKEN, MY PYROS!*
"Do they catch fire if you burn them with Pyro?" Nothing gets past you...
also, if you dont know how the source engine works,bullet weapons use hitscan so no,pyro cant airblast "bullets" but he can airblast projectiles
Most weapons are hit scan, eg the scatter gun, sniper rifle, etc.
But some such as sentry or soldier rockets, demo pills/sticky’s, pyro flares or medic and snipers arrows are projectiles meaning they have a arc, speed and also able to be air blasted
All the things you can air blast are projectiles, mainly the snipers bow arrow, the rocket, and the demoman bombs. Maybe even medic's crossbow
So, some trivia:
-Airblast doesn't damage anyone. It just pushes enemies back, pushes projectiles back (but not bullets), and extinguishes burning teammates.
-The flamethrower (and certain weapons, for Pyro or other classes) can set enemies on fire (but not Engineer's buildings), which causes burn damage while they're on fire, and reveals invisible/disguised Spies.
-The way Dead Ringer works it's that if Spy takes damage while he's holding the item (he'll have the item on his hand, in case he's trying to activate it), the Dead Ringer will activate, creating a fake corpse of Spy, reducing the damage he just took, turning the Spy invisible and giving him a speed boost . However, the invisibilty only lasts some seconds, and upon decloaking, it'll make a loud sound, alerting nearby enemies, and you'll have to wait until it's recharged to cloak again (and the only way of cloaking with Dead Ringer is to take damage). But if he's pushed off the map, it's instant death, so Dead Ringer won't activate
The main thing to know about TF2 and its balance is that in casual mode, no matter how busted a weapon, how many players you kill you always have a chance to lose. Even though someone goes on a 40 killstreak and dominates the entire enemy team, you can still lose to random elements such as random crits, autobalance, shifting respawn/objective times to give the losing team a slight edge and much more.
not sure if this was mentioned in the stream but Pyro cononically has a gas mask that gives him what is dubbed "Pyro vision" which makes him think he's in a happy go lucky land/utopian fantasy world and he's giving candy to the baby versions of whoever he looks at with a candy gun conveniently shaped like a flamethrower. so to the Pyro he thinks he's giving out candy when in actuality he's burning them with a flamethrower.
You should check out SoundSmith's Steretypes series which goes over various player steretypes (mostly for cosmetics) and FishonaStick's Bad Weapon Academy series
5:12 basically works like genji deflect with the hit box size of dva’s defence matrix
This is a pretty cool series.
This is great, i cant wait for the eventual re zero s3 reactions too!
I CANNOT WAIT! 😤
The extras are worth watching too
You can flaregun airstrafe jump onto a enemy and hold mmmmmph as you land on a head to cancel the mmmmmmph taunt to have the invincability from the taunt for a few seconds.
I love your gameplay interpretations as a new player. Such a rare sight buahahaha
Pybros: Helps the engies
Pyros: *RIP AND TEAR*
When pyro presses right click his flamethrower does airblast which costs some more ammo. He can knock back enemies with it, extinguish burning teammates as well as reflect projectiles (rockets, demo grenades, arrows, sticky bombs, etc...) He can't however reflect bullets because bullets are hits scan and he also can't reflect certain special projectiles (like the laser shots from pomson)
Airblack can be quite hard to time though - especially with demo grenades and/or arrows.
pyro is definitely one of the most fun classes to play
basically, pyro can reflect any projectile in the game, key word being projectile: bullet-based weapons are hitscan, and cannot be reflected, which is why as a soldier using the shotgun keeps you safe from your attack being sent back at you.
as for the dead ringer... its a weird one. basically it fakes your death yes, but also prevents you from going invisible any other way, and is HORRIBLY LOUD when you decloak with it, making it very obvious where you are if you celoak anywhere near enemies. its basically more often used by highly agressive spies as a "get out of jail free" card but rarely fools good players that the spy actually died (be it only because the ammo box dropped by a fake death gives no ammo back, of because the spy seems to have died more easily than he should have)
The Angel and Devil Pyro plushie looking things are cosmetics for the Pyro to equip.
7:06 FINALLY!!! One reactor finally recognizing KND!
unlike genji deflect, where it's out for a while, Pyro airblast is only on press so you can't reflect any hitscan (bullets) since it's pretty much a 1-100000 chance to time an airblast with bullets that travel instantly
We don’t know very much about Pyro. What they look like, where they’re from, whether they’re a he or she or something else, we just know that Pyro is a pyromaniac.
Pyro is also quite skilled as a corporate executive...That's canon from the comic book series even though it has no impact on the game at all.
i have been ur fan for more than a year, thanks for all of ur contents. BTW, can u react to valorant all ace sounds and finishers. i would love to see that from u
there is a TF2 Comic where it follows a storyline where the TF2 Cast goes after they were fired from a forgotten son in the Mann. Co some part of the TF2 Comic references on some TF2 Characters Lore some are actual origins
Invisibility of spy is not invincibility, any bit of damage momentarily reveals them. Now imagine the flamethrower that can spray damage into every corner of the room, its very easy to find an invisible spy, especially since fire lingers on the enemy, keeping them revealed and damaging them.
Pyro is my favorite support class in tf2. There's a hammer that can destroy sappers and I named my "Norton Antivirus".
1:07 Gendalf anyone. This wizard hat and All-father(if I remember correctly this is how the beard called) are all class cosmetics.
Airblast in TF2 is more like Lucio's right-click IMO. Except it can also bounce projectiles
Hey, I cannot see any extras on the uncut channel, only MvM and How it feels to play Spy
Now that you’ve seen the comparisons between Mei and Pyro you should react to the Mei vs Pyro Riot Rumble episode, was a super cool fight animation between the two.
Pyro’s canon face is currently unknown
Pyro's airblasts reflects rockets, grenades AND arrows, there are maps that teach you how to use airblast to reflect effectively... but i forgot their namesm.
The airblast costs some ammo, i think it was 20 on stock, 25 on degreaser, 50 on backburner and... i dont remember if 15 or 10 on dragon's breath, also yes, its right click and left click
You’re never gonna get to her and her see the spare. The air blaster is the deflect you activated when you have your flamethrower outside and you release a large portion of the air to deflect select either arrow bolts. Rockets, grenades, and things like that you cannot deflect every bullet in the game, but you can deflect to the unique projectiles.
5:11 bro reflected a crit rocket before he and medic died
How have I not seen this until now. I started with TF2 and I’m now a competitive Apex Legends player but I haven’t seen any of your TF2 videos
"bought overwatch for mei"
outstandingly based, fellow mei enjoyer
Tfw your Pyro tries to reflect a crit rocket but it ends up hitting you while you heal him. *Sighs* those were good times...
the ammo for the pyro works just the same as for any class.
Pyro is pretty easy but air blasting gets me caught off guard. I have my most kills as pyro with just the flamethrower. And one time someone yelled at me bc I didn’t air blast them
I love that you got the KND reference! Plus, the KND have Teen and Adult operatives.
You say you reacted to the extras on the uncut channel, but I don't see those videos there
7:23 NO! I REFUSE. NO I CAN'T BE.... *_The Enemy..._*
Jesus christ now i feel sad.
RIGHT?! 😭
When you finish this series you should take a look at Elmaxo’s art of the subclass videos
I don't think I've met a single pyro who doesn't have at least one piece of gear that involves a trip to pyro-land
NOT MY DEAR ENGI AND MY BABY HEAVY!!11
when is the extra video coming out because i don't see it on the uncut chennal
Airblast refelect projectiles like rockets and pipe grenades, but not bullets.
Also there aren't "costumes" per say, but cosmetics that you can mix and match to get your desired outfit. Unfortunately, while the actually game may be free, most cosmetics are not.
Deflectable items in tf2:
Other players
Rockets from sentries
Rockets from players
Grenades from players
Sticky grenades from players
Charging demoknights
Medic crossbow bolts
Sniper arrows from the huntsman/compound bow
Pyro flares (not including the manmelter)
Airblast also extinguishes teammates who were set ablaze by an enemy pyro
this lad ticks every pyro main box there is lmao
I don't know if I should be offended or proud hahaha
2:20 Not bullets, but projectiles, rockets, pipes, sticks, jars, Sniper's arrows.
10:56 The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time : 'Final Battle Against Ganon' Intro.
You should watch Emesis Blue, an almost 2 hour long TF2 SFM horror movie, it’s a masterpiece.
You don't have to know how the other classes work in order to do well with pyro, however more experienced pyros must learn about how the projectiles work in order to perfect pyro.
Pyro is the class of all time
Yeah, something like that hahaha
So, about the start of the video, it took 20 frames for your eyebrows to co completely up, don't ask why I decided to do that
LMAO, random stats! I respect it though
You can only deflecc rockets and demo shells
The Dead Ringer *is* "really strong."
Aww man, you shouldve deffinetly seen "How it feels to play sniper EXTRAS", its not about the production process or bloopers its literally like a sequel, its awesome
I spoke about watching that in this video, it'll go up on the Uncut channel like the last extra.
@@ChocolateKieran kk
You need to react to which tf2 merc is the biggest war criminal
A new tf2 animation came out I think you might like it, it’s a bit long though it’s called emesis blue
If u have some free time u can explore some new unlockable weapons (like the pompson 6000)
Tf bro
Playing pomson is torturw
Don't give him ideas
" Ah yes, the natural enemy of the spy. "
Wrath2501 May 13, 2020-
Dead Ringer used to be strong and literally the most OP weapon in the game.
Back then Dead Ringer can provide all damage resistance extremely high when activating the fake death as well as invisible for a while. And spies back then use this to just tank the damage instead of what Dead Ringer suppose to be. And imagine combo with Kunai that can recived health + overheal after backstab. Yeah, it is very busted. Now it nerf to the ground and almost no spies uses them. Ability to fake your death stills there but they remove almost all of the damage resistance. But it gain a speed boost buff instead which technically a Get Out Of Jail Free Card still. But it isn’t as annoying as what I used to be.
20:46 Yay! Demopan!
