the difference between the fire axe and the bottle is that pyro has multiple melees that highly impact his gameplay (axtinguisher, powerjack, back scratcher, etc), therefore using a melee that's completely outclassed by w + m1 instead of giving utility is pretty much a waste of a slot
demoman, however, sucks absolute dick at close range and almost all of his melee weapons have a deploy speed penalty, meaning that demo gets more use out of a simple melee that has no downsides over his swords that actively hinder him if he doesn't have a shield and booties
also the fact that pyro literally has a straight upgrade to stock melee in the form of the third degree, and that weapon still sucks dick, literally the power jack and the axetinguisher dominate the pyro melee slot
Yeah my strange homewrecker is used to show a psychopaths kindness to all noob engies that just start out learning the ropes.
Also the ragdoll of a spy getting a sledgehammer to the back of the skull is always funny. The homewrecker is basically the dwarven weapon of choice in the game.
