Yea I still cringe at the start of this video. Tofty makes many good demo videos but demo is the second longest range class. He is not a short to mid range class.

[@deranet6439]

@@peterisawesomeplease I disagree. Yea it a akward angle to aim a pipe at the sky to kill someone so you will have to spam them hoping splash damage will do the job. Your a farly easiy target when charging a shot unless you were expecting your oppoment and you go one step forward of them by charging the shot before going to a open area. You might charge it when behind cover but then the enemie might swich possision and you are gonna be easily russhed down by a scout. Note: this comment is thinking that the demo is using the stock sticky launcher, the quicky probably fixes most if not all of these problems

[@peterisawesomeplease]

@@deranet6439 Not sure I understand your argument. I agree that the demo is vulnerable to being rushed when trying to fight at long ranges. But that is exactly what makes a long range class a long range class. They are vulnerable to being rushed. Its the same thing with the sniper. Like other than sniper what class wants to fight at longer ranges than demo. I mean maybe beginner soldiers do. But good soldiers want to bomb people. TF2 in general is a close range game(at least relative to movement speed). Few games employ such strong damage fall off mechanics. So relative to say apex legends demo is a short range class. But in the tf2 world he is a long range class. He has one of the few weapons without damage fall off and one of the few weapons with a mechanic that makes it impossible to use at short range without set up time.

[@happypunky4129]

@@peterisawesomeplease NO DAMAGE FALL OFF WTF!! Toofty literally made a video showing he has damage fall off! And even fucking then its not like people can't just move lmao, charging stickies and the time they are in the air makes them hard to use, let alone being rushed, sniped, bombed, or spied, and were not even treading on the grounds of Pyro literally disabling Demo's entire kit. A Demo has to account for everything at range, it is hardly easy and any damage is honestly earned, so he can do it yes, but it doesn't mean he isn't a bit bad at it at times. You could say that if the enemy doesn't know where Demo is then its easier, but that goes for every class in the game, and unlike Sniper Demo can't one-shot kill anyone at range unless picking off weak targets, at which he has no real way of telling whether they are weak or not besides intuition and guessing. As for Demo's dmg fall off, it goes away in 5 seconds, which is certainly enough time to notice a sticky lmao, even then charging it makes setting up long range traps useless. You will literally do around 60 damage at long range unless you get a crit.

Looking at all these comments, can't a full ramp up sticky right at the enemy's feet do 144, × 8 which is the stickybomb launchers clipsive, meaning that the demo can do 1152 damage combined with the 100 direct hit damage that pipes do and it's clipsive of 4 mean that the demo can do 1552 damage before having to reload?

[@MastahDizzy]

I might add that using any type of shotgun for Heavy is actually much better when it comes to dealing against Demos, because once Heavy is at close to mid range from the Demoman, he can just pop out his secondary without having his mobility reduced (which basically makes him a Shotgun Soldier, but with a 100HP boost), which not only helps pressuring the opposing Demo, but also allow the Heavy to also track him down if he starts to back away as a non-spinning Heavy is only slightly slower than a Demo (77% VS 93%, even better with the GRU), which also allows for the Heavy to approach Demo without having to fear about getting piped to death. My personal loadout in HL and Casual is Brass Beast + Panic Attack + GRU because I can cover whole chunks of the map thanks to the added firepower and tankiness of the wep, while the Panic Attack allows me to deal against unexpected opponents reliably, allowing me to not only protect myself in scenarios where I would have normally died, but also allowing me to protect my teammates from either Scouts, Soldiers, Demos, and Spies that might be a tad bit too close from my teammates. As of the GRU, well, I get better, faster rollouts, and I can use it to do a combo "Punch to Buckshot", which is kind of a trademark move of mine haha Pretty good video overall !

[@TheFearsomeRat]

I run Natasha, Sandvich and Fists since I play CTF most of the time... and everybody only plays 2Fort... (you know who you are and you know other maps exist, variety is a spice of life, and 2Fort gets boring after the 10th time in a row), so I run Natasha since you can lock down a fair few areas and the only real weakness to the weapon would be Mantreads... but a Trolldier on 2Fort isn't likely to be a common sight and it makes for a great support weapon by making kills easier to get for teammates and stopping scouts from going where they are not welcome, as for the Sandvich, well it let's me go without a Medic, and the Fist are just because I don't really need any Melee weapons, since the odds are if I have to use the fists while using Natasha something has gone VERY wrong, and the loadout works pretty well against Demos, since I tend to try and stand near something I can hide behind if I need to use the Sandvich.

One thing you didn't mention for sniper: If a demoman is up in close-ish range, I like to rush at him with the SMG. Most of them will not expect it and will have no idea what to do when this happens, as snipers usually just run away and are very predictable. If you can dodge their shots and stay out of melee range it works really well.

I play scout in open sixes, and demoman is scary. More scary then soldier because if he has good aim then he can just drop 100 damage on me which makes me a free kill and he can very well restrict my movement and he is impossible to fight in tight spaces. Sometimes demo is a free kill and other times he is just an invincible wall.

[@adriannaranjo4397]

Sniper, Soldier, and Demoman are just those kind of classes that are just overpowered when in the hands of a player that can bring their full potential that it borderlines unfair. Sniper can make an entire team fear his sight line and deny huge swaths of area that it takes a coordinated effort to even move let alone counter against only him. Often requiring one or more players to try and pick him off. Soldier is the "jack of trades" of the combat, offering high mobility freedom and quick burst damage. Good in mid range, and even better in close range. Able to juggle and wombo combo picks with the roamer, or buff and back up when sticking to his team. Demoman is more of the close range "spam" combat, able to completely lock down chokes with the volume of fire he can toss out - sometimes feeling like he has two primary weapons at one time. While able to maneuver like the Soldier, he requires a bit more fines vs the breathing room Soldier has. All of these can ruin someone's day, and just feel like a chore to play against in a casual game. It's not fun to have your entire team stomped by one player when you're just trying to have a good game. All you can do is either counter them, or quite honestly, find a new game.

[@kingjensen8091]

10:17 while demoman disguise is a good changeup, it's too obvious most of the time because of a bug where the player's legs disappear when using the disguise. I think it has to do with the booties.

1:20 *STRONGTHS intensifies*

[@sherlockas1546]

Airblast.

[@sulphurous2656]

You'll run out of airblast before the Demoman runs out of ammunition. It's statistically unlikely to succeed with this method against a seasoned Demoman who knows his pills, even if you're a proficient pyro. Also, good luck if he has a shield. You might as well just accept your fate and take the pan.

[@sherlockas1546]

Sulphurous Well even if you are using the backburner and you airblast once the pill is gonna go right at him (assuming he is in close range which he is) and do at least 125 damage. Then you run up to him and fire him up (combo, w+m1 it doesnt really make a difference now) and if he shoots another pill the splash damage is gonna kill him and if he doesnt shoot it then well ... he died from the fire. And if he is using the shield you do this: Fire fire ,airblast, fire fire,airblast .( if you have flare gun+degreaser just combo him )

[@sherlockas1546]

Sulphurous and you are saying that i will run out of airblasts before he runs out of ammunition? Well i thought demo had to reload 🤔 🤔

[@carbon8ed]

Airblast has a slower firing interval than both pipes and stickies. If he just spams everything at you, you can't deal with all of it.

A tip for pyros trying to fight demoman, just because he's your best matchup in a 1v1, doesn't mean you actually have a good matchup against him. Both stickies and pipes have a faster firing interval than airblast, which means you can't airblast two consecutive shots from him. Always focus on dodging the second shot, and make sure you can aim his pipes back at him really well. Getting hit by your own airblasted pipe can be a death sentence for demo, and you basically instakill him if you do it at close range.

[@Ze_N00B]

A few more tips for sniper: 1. when fighting a demo/hybrid knight, leave the high ground to be within charge distance of them and wait for the charge. The charge is very predictable in its movement and for experienced snipers is an excellent opportunity to quick scope them on their way to you. Do make sure they're at 150 health or below. 2. when fighting a normal demo or soldier, use their explosives to get the distance advantage you naturally have and need as a sniper. 3. don't stay in one area and keep moving ALL OVER THE PLACE. Sniper is at his most powerful when you don't know he's there. Attacking from unexpected direction ensures the advantage ESPECIALLY against demos, soldiers, spies, and other snipers as they can't attack you if they don't know where you are. This is generally a good idea as other snipers won't expect you to attack from that location and spies won't be that much of an issue as this playstyle FORCES you to stay out of your scope at least 80% of the time allowing you to avoid being stabbed by disguise spies and they're usually searching for you where you would normally be. 4. when they're rocket/sticky jumping, wait for the moment they land as that will give you a short window of opportunity where they're a slow and easy target. 5. when they're rocket/sticky jumping TOWARDS you, turn towards tip 2. 6. stay calm. If you're not calm your heart rate will increase and you're precision and accuracy will decrease as your hands start to shake. 7. use your scope as goggles to inform your team of where the demo, soldier, scout and other enemy players with high mobility are going to deny them the element of surprise.

[@TheXMan-yf4kg]

Pyros: it's very hard to reflect demo's projectiles if you're not that good, so if you're not good at that, try and dodge a lot and get close to him, also it does take quite a few pipes to fully take out a demoman, so try and position yourself near a source of ammo

[@lazolad]

[@sigmascott4753]

Though it may not be all that pleasant to hear about your main's weaknesses being picked apart and how they can be exploited, It's actually important to know how to counter your own main, for two reasons. 1.) Knowing your limitations is the first step towards knowing how to work around them. While we can rant until the cows come home about some classes being OP or imbalanced (and not necessarily without good reason), it's a fact that no class is without their weaknesses and situations where they're at a disadvantage, and likewise, no class is completely helpless in all situations. There are ways to avoid having these weaknesses be exploited or preventing them from happening in the first place, and doing so will more fully round out your skill with the class. 2.) You're not the only one who uses your main. This one may be obvious, but I think it's easy to forget sometimes that knowledge of your classes' shortcomings will help you against other people who are using your main(s). Whether you're playing another class and you encounter your main or if you're getting caught up in a mirror match, knowing how to counter all classes, including your favorite(s), is useful. If you truly want to know the class you're playing inside and out, then part of that is knowing how to cope when the enemy turns that class against you.

[@Ydanay9]

Another important tip for engineer is that you don’t want to put your dispenser too close to your other buildings or in a spammable location, it can lead to your teammates being hit by splash damage or pipes when already at low health

[@vaskedagame880]

ive been playing a lot of hybrid demo lately, and the best thing to do as demo is charge and random crit pan players that get too confident because im shit with pills, especially pyros

[@seanpota9056]

Here's another tip for Pyro: If you suck at airblasting(like me), you can do the tride-and-true method of running straight at them. W+M1. If you have the Detonator, Scorch Shot, or Thermal Thruster, use that to close the gap. They don't know what to do when this happens.

[@MrKepper]

the demo is great for outdoor combat long range with standard grenade launcher since it is an easy to use mortar cannon

[@muczkapl]

Honestly for hybridknight, getting distance is the last thing you'd want, if they're using the tide turner you're letting him get more easy to land shield bash dmg if you go past mid range, you can't really respect the charge, you always have to challenge it, a meatshot or any dmg above 30 is enough for them to stop. If they're using the other shield as hybridknight they're stuck in a straighline for atleast half a second when charging, it's much easier to dodge these charges up close since there is ZERO turning control that close up If you see a tide turner just always back away ready to hit the demo during the charge and the other ones remain close and force the demo to run away instead (also avoid smooth corners, like the one on badwaters last point choke, a good hybridknight will always charge slide up them to crit anyone standing too close to the wall and get away with the resitances most of the time)

At mid to long range it basically just acts like a rocket launcher with more ammo whose projectiles can explode as soon as the enemy is in range and don't actually need to hit anyone. I'd like to see it nerfed so that the arm time start when the projectile actually sticks to a surface, rather than when the demo fire the projectile. This would emphasize "intelligent" use, trying to trap and cut off enemies, rather than just shooting and spamming right click. And yes, a demo who can land his pills is pretty much the only thing that can take a heavy in a head-on fight, but I don't know that demo *counters* heavy, per se.

It's already been nerfed in 2014 and they partially reverted it, It still has its neutered radius while mid-air. The Stickybomb launcher is fine where it is.

Demoman: Third slowest class Also Demoman: The class that is the most beefy, quick and malleable and can destroy the enemy team if skilled enough

[@connorl2909]

also a bit for insane heavy's you can try and surf demos stickies and rev midair and be like nose to nose with him with a revved up mini gun iz fun

[@trollman_2345]

Heavy addendum: fists of steel against a pipe-panicking demoman is usually a good idea, since the reduced damage makes it possible for you to get close and demos, for some reason, never pull out their melees if they think they can pipe you 80 times out of 90.

i duno what you talking about pyro w+m1 counters all classes. not many use this strat as it has the highest skill ceiling, and no don't use m2 as it uses ammo and doesn't do any damage.

[@lonecolamarine]

Shit, Demo's like sniper, nearly worthless in the hands of someone that doesn't know what they're doing. and crazily powerful in the hands of someone that DOES know what they're doing.

Pyro was already arguably the worst class in TF2, and he then got nerfed into the ground in Blue Moon. Pyro is absolutely not overpowered.

I'm a pyro main I guess... (although I play sniper and engineer a lot too) But I'll confirm that "just right click" isn't the demoman counter as much as you'd think. I realize it must feel that way for demo's... but it's more of a soldier counter than a demo. Whilst rockets are ideal and easy to deflect, out of all projectiles (and I'm counting jarate's and even huntsman arrows here) the hardest to counter is the loch-'n'-load. Soon followed by basicly anything the demo shoots. Why? Glad you asked. Pipes require completely different aim from all other projectiles, you have to aim far up, and even then they drop faster than when the demo originally shoots them himself. Deflecting them is more of a defensive manouvre than offensive, and since they're more likely to end up at your own feet (unless you're disengaging), it's really just a way of saving your allies from them rather than your own hide. Stickies are the most unique and maybe even the most useless to try and airblast. Not only does airblasting them put you in their range (so a demo that's paying attention can and will kill you), but they hardly move from the airblast to begin with and don't change colour, meaning they can still hurt your allies, and worse yet; they're still completely in control of the demoman who shot them. And finally, the bane of every pyro, the loch-'n'-load. Not sure if there already is one, but deflecting the loch-'n'-load should be an achievement in the game. I have deflected them in the past, but it's more luck or predictability on the demo's behalf than any skill of mine. Those things might as well be invisible on your screen, because even from a big distance you hardly see them comming. The move fast, have weird trajectory, are small, and don't come with any special effects to indicate them (even a huntsman arrow shows a trail special effect that greatly enhances their visual layout, allowing you to spot them, the loch-'n'-load doesn't have that). I consider demo's equipped with this weapon to have an anti-pyro loadout.

"Most OP class" sniper - instant kill infinite range hitscan Soldier - if you make the sticky launcher go straight instead of arc, explode on impact, and deal more damage on a direct hit, you get this. Pyro - literally the fucking pyro Engineer - Can triple the health of their sentry just by pressing 2 (the wrangler also has aim assist despite it's downside supposedly being HAVING TO FUCKING AIM ON YOUR OWN) and can gain crits when their sentry dies, Literally punishing you for fighting against them. Spy - Instant kill, except this time it involves abusing your hitbox, can go invisible, and has a literal "get out of jail free" card item, and another item that lets them store crits.

Map-specific tip: If you're at the sewer healthpack in 2fort and they have a splendid screen or chargin' targe, they can charge into the wall and charge over your head and kill you. The 90 degree turns don't stop a demoknight. You are not safe
