Tyrant's Tailwind (Pyro - Primary

[summer scarab]

Pyro currently lacks any notable high skill movement options. He has that Force-a-Nature thing, but that feels more Detonator-esque. I propose something more akin to the Thermal Thruster which allows for Pyro to become more like a Roamer Soldier/Demo

(i)Example created in VScript listen server. Stats are not final, this is purely a concept

+When looking at the ground, Airblast now propels the player like a rocket jump
+This weapon holsters 25% faster
-20% damage penalty
-50% afterburn duration
-50% afterburn time

probably shouldnt retain max jump power in mid air but regardless this is the idea

A rocket launcher with a bad blast radius like the direct hit

So escaping a pyro is just impossible.... nice

[violet glade]

I actually like this, kinda similar to thermal thruster

[summer scarab]

Obviously if Pyro is granted such strong movement the opponent should have something to give them a fighting chance

like perhaps after you land you become marked for death

[quiet plover]

oh good lord

[dense vessel]

Why add this when he's got the Twin barrel

[sonic yacht]

I think the Jetpack does what this is trying to do in a more balanced and fun way to be honest with you.

[violet glade]

What if you couldn't move mid-air until you land? It would help make this not too op

[silver basalt]

I'm guessing it'd sort of function like a new sort of Degreaser style weapon, just with more mobility?

honestly I'm not fully against the idea it seems fun and like it'd encourage a similar play style to the thruster without all the clunk and switching that came with it, combined with a bit of puff and sting if the holster speed also applys to secondaries, but I feel like it also conflicts with the twin barrel that sort of provides a similar usage

[haughty lotus]

high skill option? Might I suggest flare gun jumping?

[hybrid marsh]

does flare gun jumping work in TF2c?

[haughty lotus]

idk learn it and find out I guess

[hybrid marsh]

I know how to do it

and it never worked

but I only tired like a few times so idk
