The pyro spreading holiday cheer and fire

Ive been saving up scrap metal to craft a pyro cosmetic and I finally had enough yesterday

I now have the Jingle Belt. It rings every time I take a step and I can’t stop giggling whenever I hear it Im so happy

I wish I could put my tf2 stats on my resume

Like I have no lab work experience, but if you ever want someone who consistently tops game servers and makes leaderboards almost every game then yea, I got you lol

Really though I’ve been doing super well as pyro lately. I finally ended up checking my stats and it turns out, I average about 8.something kills per death, not counting assists. I love getting reflect kills tho. My goal in gaming life is to someday reflect a hunstman arrow and headshot either the sniper or one of his teammates ^^

I actuallly went on this massive killstreak the other day. I remember being so pissed cuz when I joined the server, I went on BLU and saw that they had pushed through to the third point already, which pushes the RED team spawn room back to the final point. I ended up sneaking around through the side paths to take down all their defenses and a bunch of their team so my team could easily push through

and just as the cart is turning the corner —

I get unlucky and get a crit rocket to the face. Which then AUTOBALANCES ME TO THE FRICKIN RED TEAM

you know, the team who’s defenses I worked so hard to destroy

We still had about 10 min left to defend (not the best situation with the cart right next to the final point) but we still managed to hold them off til about 2 minutes left, which is quite impressive as that point is reaaally hard to defend if you hadn’t set up fully prior too (which..thanks to me, we didn’t). Interestingly, they looked really set to win, but when I get desperate, I become super aggressive pyro (which isn’t really something you should do because pyro is a support-offensive class but like I said, desperate). I love the back halls of the last point because there are so many different places I can pop out from, and I ended up getting a good 20-30 kills with lots of assists in one life, because their whole team was basically all power classes that left their engi alone and their backs unprotected (thank youuu backburner). It was a really good round but as soon as I got killed, the respawn time gave them just enough space to cap the point QQ

But yea I was pretty annoyed, but quite proud of that game. I haven’t had such a successful game in a while (even tho we lost).

I think I do need better servers tho, just now I was playing and even tho we all joined the server at the same time, by the time 2 games had come and gone, I was top of the server with 70 points as pyro, with the next highest being 56 (a heavy, I think). And that wasn’t even me being aggressive, I was actually being defensive with spychecking and breaking ubers too. geez =.=

I need to find a new hobby lol

#wow this sounds so braggy #but even though I get raged at a lot lemme have it just this once QQ #pyro bby #KrisT's personal shiet

Let's talk gaming - WM1 Pyros

Alright so I just finished a gaming session of tf2. I was playing with Theresa, who just recently started playing with me (recently as in this is literally her second time ever playing the game) We were in an all bot server I had stumbled upon (meaning it was online, but filled only with bots) because earlier she was getting slaughtered against real people because she’s not used to the mouse (never played an fps before and was using the mousepad before I lent her an old mouse XD)

So we’re in the server, she’s doing ok, figuring out how to aim and move around and learning where to go and stuff, but you know. Its just us and bots (and we’re on the same team because last time I accidentally dominated her and felt bad lol) so Im getting bored. So I decide to go with my favorite class, pyro. Then that gets boring, so I decide to take it a step further - rambo pyro, aka suicide pyro.

For those of you that don’t know suicide pyro is basically one that runs straight into the throngs of the fight instead of “strategizing” for real gameplay. Its much less thinking but way more fun because whenever you do that people kinda flip their shit at the sudden firestorm and don’t know what to do. It usually ends up with you dying or escaping with like 5 health (and art Ive mastered just to piss people off because they just barely miss killing me after Ive taken out quite a few of them) but its really funny and is what I do when I just wanna mess around

And so we’re playing, Theresa’s doing really well guarding the point and learning the map, Im running around mowing enemies down thanks to the two bot medics that wouldn’t leave me alone (takes all the fun out of rambo pyro…seriously they would pop ubers at the randomest times. Ugh) and then suddenly

In the chat. Some guy is cursing me out.

Wait what? This is an open server, true, but I thought it was just Theresa and I with the bots? Where’d this guy come from?

And then he goes “fucking wm1 backburner noob, I would’ve killed you if this was a real game” (or something those lines)

Some more explaining - my standard loadout for pyro is backburner (strange, thanks to a good friend Eric ^^), detonator for range, and melee depending on the opposing team - homewrecker or neon annihilator if there are lots of spies, or axetinguisher if the other team isn’t great cuz I need to practice using melee lol. But whats important is the backburner

The backburner is a very popular “noob” weapon for pyro, because if you attack from behind you get crits, making it easy to take down the stronger classes pyro usually has issues with, while also increasing the ammo cost for the alternative, and much more advanced (and so, less commonly used), mechanism of the flamethrower, the airblast. Thus, there’s a very common stereotype attached to it - the wm1 pyro - in which the said “noob” forgoes all strategy and just charges forward holding down m1, blasting the flamethrower in hopes to get some kills. It usually works because while running around you’re bound to catch someone’s back, but it also ends up giving a kill:death ratio of about 1:1 or 2:1, if lucky. Not really the best strategy and quickly loses its charm thanks to respawn times

But because I favor the backburner, I get that a lot. And its seriously getting on my nerves, constantly having these raging people question my gaming skills because they’re stuck on the idea that backburner = noob. Yea ok, Im not amazing. But tbh I dont think a fucking noob can get 5 dominations and get a 50:12 kd ratio in one game. Im not good but Im not a noob either.

In all fairness to this random stranger on the interwebs, I was playing very much a wm1 pyro in that game. Why? Well bots. Theres no strategy for bots, and though I was really happy teaching Theresa, it makes for awfully boring gameplay. But wm1 pyro killstreak? Its pretty satisfying because it would never work in a real game so why not fuck around with it? So yes, random person, I am actually genuinely sorry for playing wm1 pyro that time. If I had known you were there before I wouldn’t have done that, and I hope you saw me playing for real when I tried to face you off in those last few minutes

[although Im still curious why he was there in the first place because it was literally like us 3 and 9 bots ._. Not really a very interesting game…]

But yea I just wanted to rant that out. Im getting so sick of people calling me a wm1 noob pyro because (1) I actually know how to strategize and get kills with it, (2) fuck you I use my secondary plenty I’d like to see you get a headshot with a detonator its really frickin hard and (3) just cuz you’re pissed you weren’t paying attention and died by my hand don’t call me noob. This is my favorite game and Id like to think Im at least halfway decent. Don’t rip on me because Ive got a frickin domination on you jerks
