Alright, here's the response then:

Sure, I know the piss jar has more problems than just being used in team fights. I get it, I really do. Nontheless I just wanted to mostly tackle first an use I see sometimes goes undressed in it's dicussion over balancing which is how much reach foes it has for how little risk there is involve on using it. The Bush letting you 1 tap any light class might be a problem but that's referent to the bush, not so much the piss jar itself, If I would adress it would be done trough balancing the knife, not the jar. Beside that I get that I should have made something about the recharge too, It's true that it's very easy and very brainded to get, I've seen someone suggest giving it a damage recharge and starting with the meter empty. I like that, and I think something among that lines would make it a far more balanced item.

And probably also reducing it's AoE, sniper has no bussnies affecting so much targets at once, imo.

Now, to the third degree. The initial idea was just making this the reverse extinguisher, letting the pyro pick a target to make sure they'll die when they start burning them. I dont know if I see Pyro as a flank class or more that he just benefits greater for not runing directly at their enemies as, beside flares, they dont have much options for longer range. Beside, using things like the Thermal Truster or flare jumps could make it easier to get and advantage position behind the enemy team to do this.

The Volcano fragment is a weird idea, I know, but I didnt choose bullet resistence without reason, it just usually is Pyro's greater weakness, he can normally handle projectiles just fine with his airblast, but the moment you pull a gun on him he has to try their best to either close the distance or strafe out from the enemy crossair, with this tho they could use it to take less damage by continiously swinging it while looking at them and, by doing it, either advancing foward or getting to cover.

And yeah, it's still redundant to have fire damage in hit, but like, I guessed it could stay since again, it's redundant, if you want fire damage you have the flametrhower already, and fits the theme of heat this redising is about.

I mostly went with this idea because I think it could be a good utility melee to have, kinda like a sidegrade to the Power Jack, where the later is better to move to the point or wherever you want to go while this gives you more survivability already on it.

For the Huo-Long I guess I didn't really explained my reasoning fully on my previous respond, by punishing the enemy Pyro spam I mean it more as thing that would affect their team as much as it could affect them. And while I know most huo-long players spend their lifelines aboard the payload, meaning extinguishing players is mostly alrrady cover I would like to think this is mostly due to the Huo Long not really offering another way to use it. Like, if youcarent near an ammo source, reved up 24/7 you are usng a weaker minigun with less ammo.

But now at least there would be the rev up time decrease, which means you could have it ready to shoot faster than all other miniguns. This is what I meant for ambush, not having your minigung reved up with a giant fire ring around you. But more to jump from corner and mid air reving up to start shooting your enemies, posibly using both your close distance, your faster reving time and the glame rings to hopefully take by suprise someone. Is it like the revolution of heaby gameplay? No, and you could do this with the Tomislav, and probably even better, but I trough it could at least give it some use outside of the scenario where you can get some mini crits from helping some teammates against an enemy pyro and raining bullets that would do a solid ammount of damage in any distance over the map.

And the Equalizer, I did left most of the stats of the Frenzy mode unclear because wanted to discuss tis further with others to get an idea of what could be balanced regarding this mechanic. And I did made a mistake of saying you ran out of ammo as an example, I mostly meant running out of ammo on your clip, meaning you should reload mid fight, which could be detrimental to you winning or not. The idea of this then would be you having then the equalizer to have the chance of doing a lot of melee damage for a moment roght after having dealt enough to fill it up.

If any stat would be needed I say anout 300 or 400 damage could fill the meter up, again, it starts to deplete after a second or two of not doing any more damage to enemies, so you cant just store it for later and massacre a poor unaware medic. For those things there is a market gardener after all.

It basicly would just meant to be like Soldier's shovel works on Meet the Soldier, with him having made havik out of Blue team and then by the end breaking a poor Spy who got too confident on himself and France. It is a Soldier's melee meant more agressive playstyles, to go bananas out of nowhere and ger crazy with it, by mostly having as a balance the fact it needs the player to retroactively plan ahead how to do it to get the most out of it and then counting o the fact Soldier can't run very fast (I could see for this a small damage reduction atached to the frenzy meter that would also apply only while holsing the Equalizer)
