Can someone explain why most of the TF2 community wants to buff/make pyro 'viable'?
Post Body

The way i see it is that most if not all classes in TF2 have their downsides to go with their upsides.

  • Scout: High Damage, Glass Cannon of TF2.

  • Medic: Heals, Can be countered by pretty much every class

  • Demo: Insane damage output, extremely weak at close range

  • Heavy: Can wreck anyone at close to mid range, spinup and slow walk speed

But bring up the topic of pyro and everyone comes outta the gravelpit to say 'oh make pyro faster' or 'give him some sort of air-jump mechanic'. I dont have a set opinion of class but it seems everywhere i turn people are screaming for some buff to make him more viable in a competitive setting (mostly 6's) but seriously can someone explain this obsession with making pyro viable?
