Now, this argument becomes completely invalidated if the pyro uses the backburner, which deals the same damage as it did pre-nerf, as well as crits from behind.

It actually does 4% LESS damage than it did before.

This is because they lowered the damage by 20%, and then re-added 20%..... it creates a discrepancy.... had they wanted to make it back to normal they would've given it a 25% boost.

Plus theres the factor of burn damage. Once someones on fire, they take 3(or 6, can't remember if their damaged once or twice per second) damage per second for 6 seconds after the pyro stops roasting them.

That means that unless they get to a medkit or use one of the six available counters for afterburn, they're going to take a whopping 36 damage. You and I both know that's fucking weak.

E: Having just played for a bit (keep in mind that I had a total of 13 minutes as pyro beforehand) I was able to get 4 kills per life as a pyro using the flamethrower, and the shotgun for underwater fighting. I just don't think this is an issue. Also I noticed that the pyro has 175 health. More than I thought he had.

How about you main as a Pyro for about 120 hours and then talk to me about how "balanced" this change is.
