Kind of Obvious Airblast Tactic

I remember I was on granary the other day as pyro trying out my brand new axetinguisher. We were going to the last cap and I managed to get onto the CP. I noticed that I was out numbered 3 to 1. Then I had an epiphany. If I use my airblast to knock everyone off the point, I will win. So that's what I did, and to my surprise, it worked. I pushed them off and I won.

What I'm getting at, is that you can use the airblast to knock people off the point. I'm wondering why I don't see more pyros doing this, it's a great tactic! If used effectively it could mean the difference between a win and a loss. Just send in an uber pyro and a few scouts, have him blast the point clear and let the scouts cap it. I'm sure that most of you know of this tactic already, but how come I haven't seen it in action or mentioned before?

Most effective on gravel pit, other maps the enemies can just come right back.

I think it's hilarious when an Ubered pair comes in, thinking they're all cool, then I just blow them off, win, and kill them in Humiliation

it's cuz ur a pro. i love when i see sollies/demos trying to use their explosives to do knockback... i just point and laugh at their attempts to use that thing called skill.

Sarcastic Fortunate is Sarcastic.

Honestly, i don't know, but if i had to guess it would probably be because A) Pub's (Even our 16 man server) don't have good communication, and B) People could kill you really fast if you went in alone...

Realy ?
I do this all the time.
It's more fun when you biefly light them on fire first,
the shove them off of that last point.

i play a lot of pyro, and honestly? the airblast is OP, at least in its effect on enemy players.  i think that they should either cut down on the knockback, at least about 30%.  this would still allow the pyro to be useful, but would give the enemy team a better chance of success.

I do this alot on the GravelPit tower, resulting in much, "OMGZZZZ LOLWUT"

also you can flame people to kill them.

 Depends on the point.(Gpit C, Granary 3) The amount of people on it.(1-3 not worth it) The classes (Heavies yes, Soldiers just light on fire)
