why do people hate the flamethrower in pvp?

The more stab the better. The CC in this game is out of control.

That would make it the easiest weapon in the game to interrupt and give the engineer more or less no reasonable power dps build to use due to anything else being highly inaccurate or just not doing any damage at all.

Sry but if the kit is used by spamming one key then yes it should be the easiest interrupt able playstyle in the game, as should all weapon kits where spamming one key is the most rewarding use of the kit, this making it un rewarding.

look at it this way, the only way to fix that is to make the 2 and 3 stronger and thus you will have an even worse time against the flamethrower like in the old days when the 2 was pure power and able to 10k people BEFORE juggernaught was added.
