why does the scorch shot get hate

[Mr. Jizzard The Tentacle Wizard]

it basically does the same thing as the rocket launcher, shoot ground get damage. except it actually curves so its even harder to aim over distances, why do people hate on it

Youtubers

[wapo?!]

because its good and ACTUALLY BALANCED

[Galaxander]

you know why

[(っ● ‿ ●)っ]

knockback

[__Ren]

>nagatoro pfp
>terrible take
every time
but anyways it's hated because

>it sets you on fire for 5 minutes after you get caught in even the splash of the projectile and
>direct hits damage you twice on top of setting you on fire for 5 minutes
>direct hits inflict hitstun by effectively freezing you for a moment (the loose cannon does the same thing as this but nobody talks sh!t about it like ??)
>pairs well with the phlog
>makes choke points even more hellish to challenge
>pyros with this weapon become exponentially more difficult to fight as the battle continues as subsequent hits are made easier and more rewarding on their part (more damaging for hitting a burning enemy) while the constant fire damage puts your life on an ever-shortening timer and even if you can kill the pyro there's a good chance you'll just burn to death anyways (but this is a problem with pyro in general)
>it's a pyro weapon (free space)

Because I really don't know.

It does way more damage than it should do to a design over sight - and is generally too annoying for how easy it is to spam. Not overpowered at all, pyro's other flares are still better, but not a meaningful existence either.

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

With how effective it is and the fact that it's stupidly easier to use the the other flare guns mostly.

It's essentially QWTF's and TFC's version of the Incendiary Cannon.

[naughty tosser]

it takes no skill lmao

[Sasha Pines (no brain)]

it mostly because the knock back and the double hit after hitting the first shot

[Joke Train]

People only use it for griefing, which they justify with the obnoxious "Sniper bad" meme.

Takes literally no skills to use and is so effective

pretty much this

the scorch shot is annoying but is hardly as big of a problem as things in the past
