The Sydney Sleeper gets rid of way too much for way too little. If it was just a weaker headshot or at least dealt above average bodyshot damage, it wouldn't be quite so horrible.

>>2525My problem with the axtingisher is that if you're that close with the flamethrower, your flamethrower outdps' a constantly minicrititing axtingisher. Its main use is ambushing beefy classes from behind without going backburner.
So I'd rather have a melee weapon that gives me the ability to do something I can't normally do than the ability to speed up a fight in 2% of situations.
>>2518I'm usually pretty close to friendly sentries. Gotta watch out for your engies and protect them from edgelords, bomberman and team rocket.

>>2545It would be cool if you couldn't body's hot at all, or it would only do no scope body shots. Would completely change the nature of the weapon.

>>2548Obviously you can't just go around blowing people away with 195 crits anymore, I only use the axtinguisher between flare reloads or if an enemy has his back to me. Also btw something not many players know if you airblast someone up then run under them and swing it registers as behind them and does the full 195, I don't recommend relying on it though.
I can get the appeal of the HW or PJ for support pyros but I have an extremely aggressive playstyle and axtinguisher is still what gives me the best results.

>>2549What would be the point of that?
Honestly what they need to do to fix the SS is remove charge entirely, and give it a fixed base and headshot damage. The biggest issue with it right now is the jarate effect takes far too long to use and since a fully charged bodyshot does 150 most of the time you're just going to kill them in the process so there's no point.
With these stats less skilled snipers can still jarate a shitload of people but it doesn't get rid of the skill ceiling of stock and gives players who can aim a way of putting out lots of damage. Something around 30 bodyshot damage and 110 headshot should be about right.
