Why do people hate the scorch shot?

People hate the Scorch Shot in Team Fortress 2 because it offers easy, annoying, long-range harassment with minimal skill, creating a "fire and forget" playstyle that punishes players with constant knockback and area-of-effect (AoE) afterburn, making it frustrating to fight against, according to Reddit users and YouTube creators. Its bouncing projectile, wide splash, and guaranteed mini-crits on burning enemies allow Pyros to spam chokepoints, disrupting movement and securing kills without needing direct hits, unlike other flare guns that demand aim and prediction.

What's the worst gun in Apex?

The "worst" gun in Apex Legends often changes with updates, but generally, the Mozambique and P2020 are top contenders for the bottom tier, especially without hop-ups, due to low damage and range, with some players also calling the Charge Rifle, RE45, and sometimes the EVA-8 weak or underwhelming due to recent nerfs and high skill requirements. The Flatline is sometimes cited as the weakest assault rifle, while the RE45 struggles with recoil, and the Charge Rifle needs precise tracking after its hitscan changes.

Could Pyro actually beat human torch?

In a comic book fight, the Human Torch (Johnny Storm) generally beats Pyro, as Torch generates his own fire, is immune to heat, can fly, and possesses far greater raw power (like going Nova), while Pyro only controls existing fire and needs a fuel source, making him vulnerable to Torch's superior versatility and strength once Johnny bypasses Pyro's flame control. However, Pyro can initially surprise Johnny by manipulating his flames or fuel, as seen in Deadpool & Wolverine, but this is usually a short-lived advantage before Torch overwhelms him with sheer power or by snuffing out Pyro's own fire source.

The Pyrovision goggles, equipped in-game, let players experience this vision, but canonically, it's the Pyro's distorted perception of reality.
