Assuming there hasn't been another update in the past hour or two, yes.

Phlogistinator nerfed. 'bout time. NOT ENOUGH. Seriously, still 10 seconds of crits? The Kritzkrieg only gives 8. |

Have any of ye tried using the thing? It was never overpowered.
NO AIRBLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just shoot the fucker.
As someone who uses the phlog occasionally, it renders you effectivly impotent if anyone sees you coming. Hell a lone medic can take you down with ease.
10 seconds of crits ain't worth shit if you die after 2.
sorry, felt the need to rant about that.

I thought that after the shortstop, I could never hate a weapon so passionately.
The Phlogistinator proved me wrong. Way too noob friendly.

But airblasting (too much) makes people angry |

You're the person I'm most curious about whether or not you've used the Phlogistinator, Hawt. Try it before making claims about it being good/bad/festering pile of shit etc. (I'd say that for any weapon though)
Bad players are moths to the flame when you taunt, I'll agree with that.
Competent players tend to shred you unless you can outsmart (and outflank) them though (I've experienced this on the WDG server).
It really is a flamethrower for pyro's who just feel like burning everything into the ground, none of this pansy hit them with axes instead of using fire crap...

The gun is not overpowered per se, its just stupid and its typical for every new weapon that has come out since around The Scout update, when Valve decided that every class should get atleast one gun thats just retardedly stupid and kills (haha pun) everyones fun in the game. It started with prenerf Sandman (Uberpush? NOPE!), went on with Dead Ringer and Huntsman and here we are, Pomson and Phlogistinator, 2 stupid guns that piss off everyone that is unlucky enough to randomly get hit by it. I remember preScout update, when it wasnt so stressful and random to play public TF2. Now you get hit left and right by this stupid stuff without the slightest chance of avoiding it. I miss good old badwater where a good demoman and soldier paired up with a cartpushing heavy would decide a round. |

I only took up this game a few months before the engy update, but I see your point Karthus.
There have been some rather odd mechanics introduced. Yes the phlogistinator is one of them, and I can see how it could be annoying. I have no problem with that opinion. It's rather similar to the random crits argument (I prefer them off myself, but I don't particularly mind if they're on).
I do however take issue with the claim that it's overpowered. The only thing I would actually describe as truly overpowered in this game is ubercharge and that's by design, so there's no issue there.
The cleaner game point is one of the reasons I enjoy watching comp play. Games are decided by who plays better more than anything else.

One design point I find odd with the Phlog' is the damage resistance during the taunt. This seems a bit of an odd choice, one would think it would play into one of the original design ideas for the Pyro as being an ambush class if there was a little extra bit of strategy to find a good place just around the corner to taunt and activate before moving in.
