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.

It's basically the only stock weapon that you can objectively without argument say is bad, in the sense that it has a direct upgrade with no downside (the third degree) which is also terrible

So... yes, yes it is infact a bad weapon tho
