Soldier and demoman definitely have the highest skill cap (maybe spy too, but really good spies are quite rare). Finding a good demoman in a pub is hard- like 60% of demos are running around with a targe and a sword. | ||

Heavy was way broken back when Natasha had super-slow (not to mention the Sandman ><), it'd have easily been on the "no self-respect" part of the chart. And stuff like airblast and flare crits were added in patches, though that was more "semi-fix" than "balance", I guess. Some classes have a higher skill floor than others and some classes have a higher skill ceiling than others (not mutually exclusive), and some weapons are definite upgrades over other weapons, but the game is much better now than it was then. | ||

 ). Free to play is good because it'll bring in fresh blood, but I also worry about the type of player it might attract. | ||

As someone who's been playing the game for about 3 years, originally a public player who got into competitive, I can tell you that absolutely is not the case. The drawback for demos is that while they have insane DPS, they are absolutely awful at close range due to the lack of any hitscan weapons. Sure some great pipe aim will help to negate this problem, but the bottom line is that if you take a fairly skilled demoman vs a fairly skilled scout, the scout is going to win a 1v1 90% of the time. | ||

I think the self-respect aspect refers to the fact that demoman often hurts himself in his offensive attempts. Hitting pipes takes way more aim than hitting meatshots. Also, he is the best class. | ||

The demoman can minimize the difficulty of the fight by making sure it takes place in cramped location, to some degree. At least if he isn't caught off guard. Dealing with scouts at mid-range isn't that bad either, even 1v1. And if you have any support, that fight starts tilting to the demoman pretty quickly. At least in pubs. I find soldiers to be way more annoying as a demoman, since they have the health to outlast you, and they have a much easier time in close quarters fights. | ||

You can spam grenades in any direction and get many kills. Lol. Heavy is 100% no skill class. You just hold down M1 + W and kill shit. You've probably never seen a good demoman play. | ||

Tracking, positioning, and knowing when to initiate the fight are skills. Being good at those skills seperates the noob heavies (who sadly get a decent amount of kills) from the good heavies. And yeah, demo is kinda OP but it still takes a lot of skill to play. Sticky trapping, flick pipes, and predicting movement takes lots of practice. It's kinda like having good reaver+shuttle micro, ridiculously strong but hard to execute. | ||
