Airblast is a core mechanic for pyro, and is very powerful. So powerful, in fact, that every single unlockable pyro primary in base tf2 nerfs it in some way. I thought i would make an attempt at making a primary that instead focuses on making reflecting projectiles more rewarding, at the cost of making it more risky.
Feel free to suggest alternative upsides or downsides, number tweaks and so on, the feedback is much appreciated!

It has a problem similar to the Manmelter. The usefulness of your weapon depends on the presence of a specific class on the enemy team.

I tweaked it a bit after suggestions from a friend
But i do agree that there should be another upside that isn't dependant on the enemy team composition

True. The problem is that you’re completely dependent on their actions. If they avoid you or their team has few Soldiers and Demomen, you end up with a weapon that is a straight downgrade. Your agency is taken away because you are fully dependent on the opponent’s actions.

That is true, but i can't really think of another upside that fits thematically
Added longer reach on the flames to be better able to fight soldier using shotguns, and to bait out rockets
