i think the need to add a incentive to the homewrecker like a heath boost or maybe some bullet dmg reduction. need to give the pyro some reason to use it as it stands there is no positive stat for the pyro when using it.

Should get a 1/2 point or 1 point for destroying sappers.

Homewrecker Pyros should get a half point for destroying sappers, but only them. Dropping extra sappers on a building to kill it is a necessary Spy strat.

The Axtinguisher has too slow of a swing as it is, so i just cant use the homewrecker is not the kind of thing i want to use, unless there are some major changes too it.
But really, the axe needs a faster swing, i find myself getting hit by a melee as i pin them in a corner while the weapon is trying to swing.

Why the heck would there be no incentive to use it? 1 shot teleporters and mini sentries.... when moving forward, able to protect the engi's stuff when needed.... ALL I use now is the homewrecker. Axes are just selfish

Considering the other day I was able to run into a group of people and take out they're medic, and then while retreating take out they're other medic, I dont find it to be too selfish.

i just think there needs to more to it. once the engie update dies down and there are not as many do you really see yourself using it? but if it has a dmg reduction or health boost there would be more that would use it just to live a little longer.

BB can be useful if the pyro can flank them from behind (duh), but its very rare that he can do that. The only one that comes to mind is dustbowl's last point coming up from the sewers.

Nah Badlands has so many flanks and so does all the new maps. But i think if the backburner gives a speed boost or a heath boost it would be more helpful.

Horray for Polycount and Community updates! So much stuff came from the Polycount Pack Contest that I'm sure at least half of them will eventually make it in-game. As for Community Weapons, plenty of stuff in the near future I bet.
