The most bad-ass thing I've ever done as a Pyro to this date was hadokening a charging demoman. Entirely by accident. No really, I killed someone with a shotgun, proceeded to taunt him, then while taunting, a demoknight appears, notices me, and charges... right into my hadoken.

One time I did something similar with the Spy, though on purpose. Someone was chasing me, and I knew I was going to die if he shot me, so I ran around the corner, brought out the knife, pressed G... And he walked right into it. Of course, the Spy's taunt hits three times (but only the last one is perfectly lethal).

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

I killed a soldier with a reflected huntsman arrow yesterday. It was glorious!

 I've headshotted a sniper with a huntsman arrow before the airblast update, and it would be my only time ever doing it.

 Still, at close range airblasting is based on luck. There are just not enough frames at that range for a normal human to react to, and especially not with lag issues. Airblasting is a medium-range thing, and predicting when your foe will fire thing.

It also helps to predict the time another rocket will be fired, though a smart soldier will usually wait a moment to throw you off.

I once killed two soldiers by reflecting their rockets at the same time into the ground, killed both of them. This was before the airblast buff, and it was plenty to paste 'em.

After a few more hours, I tend to play Pyro or Spy. I'm okay as a medic, but honestly I enjoy being a spy so much more, disguising as a guy, sneaking into their "base" (If it's CTF, mostly) then killing the defense.

 Usually I play the ambush playstyle. Take an alternate route, strike the enemy force when they least expect it, that sort of thing. The dudes on the front lines are for absorbing bullets, I'm the dude who does the damage. Except that it doesn't work. Being alone means there are a bajillion foes out there that decide "You know, let's not fight the push coming towards us and go to the side-path all at once." Because clearly the vents are more important for the entire team than the point.

 So yeah, no more demo and pyro attacks. I'll be going medic, heavy and soldier on pure offense now. And making sure I follow another dude and not go myself.

On whichever map it is that has vents, it's great to cloak your way into their vents, then disguise and drop down next to their intelligence.

Too risky, the vents are quite a high traffic area and you're very likely to get bumped into. You're better off waiting for the gate to open then running up the stairs on the right. It's a nice wide stairway so you can dodge anyone running down and avoid detection.

Speaking of Huntsmans, you can blast friendly Snipers who have it with your flamethrower and the next arrow they fire will ignite the target.

It's possible I'm losing my mind, or they broke it again. I really don't doubt that.
