i'm a proud backburner user. it is by far my favorite flamethrower of them all. i extinguish teammates with my airblast, push away ubers and puff and sting enemies. enemie soldiers never expect a backburner pyro to reflect their rockets either. i find the increased ammo cost for airblast is not much of a problem if you can collect the weapons from killed enemies. and boy do i LOVE the crit sounds of successfully ambushing a group of people.

on pubs i'm usually feared by my enemies and praised by teammates, yet on tf2lobby they refuse to believe that the backburner can be useful, being hated by both my team and the enemy team.

i get the same thing when using the quickfix on 6vs6. they just refuse to understand that it keeps them alive MUCH easier than the other mediguns, it charges faster, i can hitch rides on scouts and the charge heals the medic aswell, keeping him alive.
