It's even better when I'm on the 2Fort-Saraya server that I have favorited; that's an established server, hosted by a long-running clan, and even they get surprised when they see me on top of the bridge. Several of them have tried to make it over, themselves, but they're not using the Gas Jockey set. That 10% movespeed bonus is critical to getting up there, unless you're airblasting a rocket at the ground and launching yourself up. I bounce across and meet the Scouts that are up there harassing our Snipers and they're like WTF JUST HAPPENED WHY IS THERE A PYRO BURNING ME
But no I also mean just the sheer mobility that comes with being a Detonator Pyro - and on top of that, I've gotten pretty good at nailing people with it twice/when they've been ignited already. Since I'm using the Degreaser, that overwrites the weaker afterburn. It's gratifying to have a long range fight with a Heavy+Medic pair and knock out the Medic without the Heavy even realizing what just happened, though again I'm sure that's because of F2P kids not realizing they can throw their Sandvich on their Medics. A mini-crit from a Detonator is enough to wipe out any over-healing the Heavy has, too.
The only thing that I *really* have trouble with is either coming around the corner and bumping directly into a Heavy with his Tomislav spun up, and getting mowed down, or another Pyro wielding the Backburner. My latency issues making it hard for me to keep a flame trained on such a mobile target combined with the 10% bonus damage their flame deals usually results in me dying. Feels bad, man. I always taunt them by saying 'Damn, curse the Frontburner!' as a sort of anger-filled jab at them W+M1 the Backburner.
Anyways, enough about me. Has anyone been tempted to rename a Medi-gun to 'Strange Medi-gun' and using a description tag to mimic the '0 kills' line on it? Just to screw with people's heads?
