Today(30th January Wednesday) I had an idea about pyro über on Dustbowl(Blue) and I told my team to have a pyro. The strategy was, having the pyro übered, burning everything on it's way and running  to the capture point. With 2 scouts helping us, We won 3 Dustbowl stages in less than 10 minutes. On the 4th stage, we just had hard times capping the 2nd control point.

It works pretty well on a GOOD team.

Ideas?

Everything works well if you have a good team. And an übered Pyro is nothing that special.
Sorry to say it like this, it sounds a bit uninterested, but I see it like this.

I don't know, but it helped the whole enemy to retreat to their base.

Most people press the "S" button when they get fire, in my oppinion pyro über is one of the best but, It's my oppinion.

Anything can work with a good team? Well me and the übered pyro were at the top of the list, where the other soldiers and the 2 heavies we had didn't do much of a thing, where they were getting übered by other medics.

I just shared my idea.

What if the enemy was also a good team? They could have a sniper to pick you off before you come close to the cap or they could get a counter uber.

Nah I'd say the opposing team just wasn't that good. If there was an uber pyro coming in with scouts, I'd first of all have demos stickied the point to prevent the scouts from capping. Once the 10 seconds are over, sollys can charge in and blow everyone away.

The demomans used the stickies trying to kill the übered pyro


Actually you guys are right, only works on a good team vs bad team.

Fast way to cap though.

For second and third stage dustbowl I am reluctant to use pyro because of sentry gun pushback. Too often sentries will prevent you from getting within range to use the flamethrower effectively.

Pyro Uber is as good as it gets.

 2 lvl 3 sentries will negate an uber pyro.  1 lvl 3 and 1 lvl 2 is doable if you go for the engi first.  also, the fact that you and the pyro led your team in points doesn't mean much of anything.  that pyro is the only person to ever receive an uber (or any attention from medic i'd assume) so its expected you'd lead the boards.

don't get me wrong, i think pyro is the best uber choice if only one sentry. however if the team has half a brain, they'll note you always use pyro and either set up a 2nd sentry or place 4+ stickies on your path and blow you and your pyro apart..

ubering a pyro's always a good strategy against a worse team, but like everyone says, there are ways to stop it.
for example, what if the other team was all being ubered?
