No doubt, the best class in the game.
Very easy to pick up, can counter almost everyone if they make mistakes.
The only mistake you can make when fighting a pyro is being predictable.
Cuz if you are predictable, he will:
Flare crit you,
Airblast your projectiles back to you,
Deal more high-risk high-reward damage (shotgun flicks, or "flame flicks"; basically you walk into his flames)

then again there are some weapons that are unbalanced and are very easy to use
examples include:
The Backburner (why do you get random crits from the front as well?)
The Scorch Shot (legit aim anywhere and there is a 50% chance you will ignite someone)
The Back Scratcher (a direct upgrade from stock, because you get more health from health packs and you help your medic build faster)

I dont hate him. Hes come in handy, and far to easy to take out as sniper. You learn to tell with far range and keep your distance. If you let him get that close, you deserve to die.

I have different opinions on the different playstyles for Pyro..

Combo Pyros are fine. They can reliably use their skill to aim Flare Gun shots. Sure, they're frustrating to be killed by, but they deserve some credit.

Shotgun Pyros are similar to Combo Pyros, but being killed by one isn't as frustrating.

Pybros are great. They're team players who can reliably protect sentries from spies and projectile spam. However, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for Spy players.

W+M1 Pyros are the lowest of the low. I can understand that new players don't know any better than to hold left click, but when was the last time you had any enjoyment encountering someone like that?

Even W+M1 can be countered to some extent.
You can try to juke the pyro's flames, by suddenly changing your movement thus buying yourself time to make a killing blow.
W+M1 is basically a punishment for not attacking.
Smart Pyros will utilize W+M1 to bait projectile classes into shooting their projectiles and reflecting them afterward.
Otherwise, they will just walk up to their own death.
Seriously. Just, shoot them.
And don't fight them in closed areas.
Pyro just ambushes you.
If you expect and predict his presence, he's dead.

Also, outrange him.
