The Phlogistinator is a weapon who's strengths have been recently blown out of proportion. While it can be powerful when crit-boosted, it's lack of an airblast and mechanics can be used against it.

The easiest way to avoid being killed by it is turning the other way while the Pyro is activating the crits, and running. Do not backpedal and shoot the Pyro, as players move 10% slower running backwards.

Heavies, Soldiers, and Sentries are also direct counters to the Phlogistinator, since Pytos using it are restricted to short range combat, and can't reflect rockets shot at them. Also, Pyros using any flamethrower with air blast can extinguish enemies to keep the Phlogistinator from charging. If you lead charging Phlog Pyros into these classes, or a large group of teammates when they are charging in with crits.
