Team Fortress 2 - Pyro Nerfed

Similar to the previous update, Pyro class has been nerfed down and is now much less “lethal”, per say.

Team Fortress 2

• Fixed backburner’s flame critical hits not being recalculated after collision. This meant that it would check if the target was looking away once and after that the flame could score a critical hit again even if the orientation changed
• Added back some damage falloff to the Pyro’s flamethrower. Not nearly as extreme as it was before the Pyro class pack
• Fixed bug that caused Demomen to take a small amount of extra damage from their own grenades and fly farther using them
• Fixed spy getting stuck in players after removing his disguise
• Fixed spy stabbing and being able to go invisible instantly
• Fixed spy disguised as enemy medic being able to spam voice commands
• Fixed buffed health not decaying properly after being healed by a dispenser
• Selectable menus can now be operated with number keys even if they are not bound to slot1, slot2, etc.
• Removed the remaining speed adjustments for carrying intelligence (a couple of game modes still reduced your maxspeed)
• Fixed a buildable item placement bug where the object would not rotate after the user tried to place in an invalid location
