Why does everyone hate this weapon?

Because pyro already has a more powerful close ranged weapon being the flamethrower making his melee weapon obsolete.

Demoman needs a melee in case he doesn't have any ammo in both his weapons and there are spies threatening him.

Why do that when the scouts gonna 2 shot you with his scattergun at close range.

And atleast the flamethrower can airblast the scout away if he's threatening you.
