there's been a small huddah of pyros, about 4 or 5, coming by my window lately—usually they're looking to say hello and chat with the one i'm currently housing, and leave after an hour ish. i'm very glad there's nothing super flammable near my house anymore, or that would be a recipe for Several arson charges.
however, the most recent time they've come over, my pyro went out to visit and they all started hitting each other with their melees. (i don't think anyone got hurt, and i called my buddy over before it could escalate. the huddah left pretty quick after that.) is that normal pyro behaviour, and/or should i discourage it—generally what the hell is going on here? i've been assuming it's normal, but it's always good to get an expert opinion, especially since i've never really seen this specific behaviour before.
Mele hitting on the same color is actually harmless! Almost all classes tend to do it and it shows no harm, I haven’t found any reason why though. I think they just like the feeling or sound? It’s almost always done playfully or as a way to communicate.
