Why do people hate this weapon in TF2 again?

Because of the crits part I think

great retard filter

It's OP and Valve is too lazy to nerf it.

80% are room temperature IQ subhumans who can barely play is why

>>715685379 (OP)
It's fine on its own, but combined with a pocket medic's healing and/or uber, it's really fucking strong.

The regen

It's not a problem until someone decides to pocket said Pyro then it becomes a lobby killer.

>scorch shit taunt cancel
nothing personal kid.

in a more serious note, the broken part is that you can be ubered while having crits, that shit is stupid as fuck.

oh that's nothing, try this on for size. don't even need the phlog with it and if i see this shit regardless of team i'm instantly leaving the server

>Pair it with Scorch Shot for the stupidly easiest form of oomph farming
>Get a medic to pocket you so your entrances are safe or you just keep ransacking the entire lobby
>Use Phlog with the Jetpack after farming with the scorch shot for the easiest form of Taunt cancelling by landing on a heavy, pop off the taunt then completely carbonize the enemy team, doable with the detonator too to do both farming and tauntcancel but harder and more predictable because detjumping isn't super mobile
Phlog is the definition of a pubstomping weapon, and pub players are retarded on average so just a single pyro can act as a damage plunger and completely eviscerate a bottleneck, goldrush is such a good map for Phlogging

i think OP only plays scout/soldier. disregard thread

>>715688140
instead you need a pocket with a brain and you have to be good at medic to really abuse the shit out of this weapon

>Puts an end to the sniper horror

>>715690353
Can't snipers just equip the croc shield?
If anything the scorch shot is just a Fuck-you card to Heavies

>>715690286
i'll give you the former, phlog is pretty braindead but popping, pressing r, popping again, then skipping fire and going back to bullets every 45 seconds is not asking for a lot, like i get no one plays medic but it's not that complicated of a weapon

>>715690495
not so much swapping resistances but having good positioning/surfing skills because you need to be further ahead than usual to know what to pop for and you're more tunnel visioned so you're susceptible to spies and flankers
