Objectively the pyro just recieved a large and unjustified nerf. If you are concerned about it being a shotgun thats not actually a shotgun, you can replace it with something like a level action rifle, a pistol, or even the engineer railgun.
Objectively, the Pyro has always been a brawler. One that's up-in-your face. You can EASILY close the distance with an IC jump.

While I agree that it's useful to have the backup weapon, is it terribly relevant when you can get up in their face easily and burn them to death? I'm one of the best in the community if not the best with the pyro in pubs. If you get me on openfire, the shotgun damage is largely irrelevant. At best it's useful to take out a single target from a distance you want to kill and a sentry killer, at worst, useless.
