I rarely melee with the pyro.

Are there any good tips when I am forced to melee with him until I get ammo again.
Melee for Pyro is quite useless unless you are using combos. Melees are more of utilities than a legitimate weapon, since if you're in melee range, you may as well be using a flamethrower. If you're out of ammo, just flee for more ammo. You should be getting enough kills to keep your ammo filled, anyway.

However, certain weapons do have their uses. Use the Axtinguisher or Powerjack for burning then hitting with a melee to finish them. The Third Degree is good if you can ambush a Pocket and Medic, and the Backscratcher is good for roaming because of the passive bonus and the additional +25% damage for ambushing. The Homewrecker and Neon Annihilator are great choices if you are defending with an Engineer, because you can remove sappers. The Volcano Fragment is useless except in Medieval mode, and there is no reason to use the default Axe.


but from an engi-protecting point of view, don't even bother with the annihilator, it takes two hits to destroy sappers

when are your enemies ever going to be wet anyway
 
mother of god I'm a lucky person

just won my third raffle

A piece of scrap, an Engie soul, and a Soldier soul. Since I already have the Engie soul, I'll sell that to anyone who wants it, but the Soldier soul adds another to my soul collection!
 
CTF needs better maps that allows less turtling

ctf_turbine_pro solves this problem somewhat, but the official maps just get repetitive and stalemate-ish after a while
