Do pyro grenades need a buff?

I never feel like using a pyro grenade is what saved the day, you feel me? I get one that will cover a door for maybe a little bit of time, they aren't super lethal. Only seems good for goo removal.

they are super useful for holding the vaults , they can stick an area an regardless of healing they kill them ... can buy you a good few seconds for team to get back in or even clsoe to cashing out

Unless they changed it, the healing beam outpaces the damage of fire. I use them because I have a 'pyro' loadout and don't want to destroy my own gas grenades, which CAN out pace the damage of a healing beam if the victim is in long enough.

They also have a unique aspect where if you're underneath an enemy or objective, you can throw it at the ceiling and it'll light fire on the floor above.
Pyro's one of the only tools I have maxed out level on, and it's got a ton of good use.
That being said, no gadget is an answer for all situations. You're asking for a buff but if they buff it in any meaningful way it'll just be stupid OP.
You need to use your gun AND gadgets, not pick one or the other.

It would depend on the buff, right? The blanket statement that any buff would make it op is silly. I've been playing since beta and am a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aficionado. I also never said I wanted it to be good at everything. I think, right now, it's fine at several things and excels at nothing. Gas is better area denial, frag is better at killing (and you get two of them). I think pyro is ♥♥♥♥ at both and only excels at destroying goo, which it only recently started to excel at.

what about giving you two

Giving it a healing debuff while standing in it would be a pretty good and targeted nerf to the healing beam being able to outpace its damage.
