Declined [FF2] Flamethrowers Buffs (1 Viewer)

[Jiji]

Hi,

Maybe it's just me but I recently noticed that most flamethrowers (except Dragon's Fury I guess) deal very little amounts of damage even with minicrits/normal crits. Seems like only way you can be useful as a Pyro is if you're playing with Dragon's Fury or you're going for goombas constantly. You can deal way more damage even with flare guns. I'd like to suggest some potential buffs:

• Damage Buff (Either 15% or 25%)
• Constant Mini-Crits (Not that huge of a buff I guess but it could still be something)

25% seems a lot, considering that you can TAUNT CRIT.

25% seems a lot, considering that you can TAUNT CRIT.

Then crit damage could be reduced to balance it out.

Even if flamethrowers get a damage buff, the majority of people who play pyro (with flamethrowers) will continue to feed airblasts whilst being mostly useless, so the only downside of this is that hales will get fed more rage due to the increase of interest for flamethrowers and the picking of pyro because of it.
