TF2 - Dealing with Demoman 

What to do if you're caught off guard by a demoman when you're playing medic: 1. Die

Toofty: How do you deal with demoman? Paladin: bruh idk take his beer man

"Play scout" Instructions unclear, got lost in Massachusetts.

That one Spider-Man meme pointing at each other

"Most ridiculously OP class" Soldier: *laughs in patriotism*

7:55 demo-to-demo action is simply a test of skill shows a kill with a random pan crit

Toofty: how do you deal with demo MrPaladin: take all his beer to watergate

"This is simply a test of skill." Proceeds to kill that poor demo with a random crit

"demoman is happy that he has the highest damage output of any class" RIP Heavy and his 500+ dps

So much to talk about, so little time! Let me know if I missed anything in the comments below! Bonus tip! (forgot to add): If a Demo catches you in corner, your instinct is to move away from the corner immediately. The Demo will predict this movement so instead do a jiggle and bait out the pipe before escaping.

"demoman is sad when in very long range combat" Demoman: Charges sticky launcher.

Agoraphobia, Personal Space problems, (Reload) Anxiety, Avoiding Line of sight... You mean Demo is like me?

0:07 I'm not sure what I seem, but he may be god.

very little mention of my favorite Demo subclass: that lunatic armed with boots, a sticky jumper and a default melee (typically a pan but I favor the Necro Smasher) who just yeets himself at anything that moves and somehow has like a 40% crit rate and can reliably achieve Market Garden Soldier levels of cheese

Natasha is a counter to any class when it’s special is to basically remove mobility for even the fastest class in a mobility based game.

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.

To defeat a Demoman, you must become and be like the Demoman by being a Black Scottish Cyclops who's drunk all day!

Demoman is the most powerful class in the game cos he can say the n-word

"You have found out my weaknesses community, but you wouldn't expect me to RUN AT YOU WITH MY MELEE LIKE A MADMAN"

“Easiest class in the game” *laughs in American*

"Demo is the most op class in TF2" Sniper: *Laughs in Australian*

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.

0:15 Sniper *laughs in headshot*

2:25 *laughs in demoknight*

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.

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.

"Demo is the most over powered class" Spy: Laughs in baguette

All I want for Christmas is for toofty to make videos like this for all the classes

"Close quarters and corridors are a death trap against demomen" *Proceeds to go into a corridor as heavy against a demoman

5:40 - It's over, Tavish! I have the highground! - You underestimate my spam!

ToofyTV: people hate demo mains Pyro mains: welcome to the club

2:04 "he's a little bit miffed that scout counters him" the text on screen: R A C I S T

12:53 ur scout dabbed epicly

Toofty: Dirty Demo mains amirite? *sweats nervously*

Airblast.

4:30 "the longer the fight go on the more it goes in they favor" toofty hayden

this is an excellent video and i learned a lot. i KNEW that the longer you leave somebody alone, the stronger they get because you're giving them time to reload, but i had NEVER thought: demo gets stronger because as time goes on, he carpets the ground with stickies

Toothy: he sad about close range Demo:*grabs sword*

I like how the demoman is the angel of death for engineers, but demoknight dies from fear when seeing a sentry

MrPaladin: take the beer to watergate. Ah yes, the best spy being sad about that random sticky, can relate.

You know it's good when it has timestamps

5:46 It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground!

What to do if there are like 2 or 3 spamming rollers at the spawn dor from a completelly unreachable spot? Or when they retreat and just spam every...single...corridor with grenades after sticky spamming?

"And, OF COURSE, use your crossbow" **Angry overdose appreciator noise**

When using the wrangler and against multiple stickies DO NOT start shooting it one by one instead use the rockets to push them away and focus the demo

I tried this for a week and I realize that you have to be good for this to work

1:20 *STRONGTHS intensifies*

4:38 "the good news is that the arm time means that they cant detonate their stickies immediately..." *Intense quickybomb launcher triggering*

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.

"Loves mid to short range combat" me sticky sniping the sniper across 2fort: "Hmm... yes, but actually no"

Crotch smiley is the most funny and embarrasing insults

A fully stacked eyelander demo is basically a deity.

TooftyTV: **respects scouts** HE IS THE MESIAH

1:19 "STRONGTHS"

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

12:44. Thank me later that demo has supernatural powers.

Toofty:the demo man is the most powerful class in tf2 Spy mains:am I a joke t you?

Anyone know the song playing at 2:13? Thanks!

Bit random but anyway: @Toofty, do you have all the achievements for demoman or nah?

“Strongth” -ToofyTV 2019

'Easiest class to play' Me : Oh Pyro Him : Demoman *You have provoked a gang war*

A fun way to counter is to use their stickies against them as pyro, either by reflecting them or surfing off the explosion to get closer to then.

1:01 A little Mr.Paladin there.

I LOVE playing as pyro against demoknights. You can just completely dominate and deny them, its not even fair.

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

something to note with demo vs. demo, the Quickie Bomb Launcher can destroy enemy stickies just like the Scotch Res, so if you're up against a demo who likes making traps, counter him with the quickie

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

One thing about Heavy: Be brave (LazyPurple, 2018) You can avoid demo's aim by strafing and moving forward. Also, no demo can withstand 2 self-damage pipes, so get close to them if your health allows.

1:19 'Strongths & Weaknesses' *Strongths* Toofty is a demo main confirmed, as he is already drunk.

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.

New sub-class, demo-bullet, stickyjumper to jump across the map every second

Pro Demo: You're weak Stickyspam Demo: I'm you *laughs in frying pan*

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

I don’t have enough his broken weapon for demo man. It’s the weapon your using in the demo man clips and HOLY CRAP if you look at the collision box it has.

X rated demo on demo action, brilliant

2:05 Scout once said the n-word Now Demoman can never look him in the eye again

"move in close" demoknight intensifies

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.

The thumbnail looks like he just pissed on the rug and is being disowned by his team.

Aha! I, the demo have succesfully sneaked into your video to counter the counters.

To me as a demo main, if I see a scout coming I either, 1: sticky Jump away (assuming I have enough health) 2: Put sticky’s around me

So, Heavy match demo and it depends on outsmarting heavy as demo, getting into traps and forcing teammates away. Or random crit.

One thing about Demos you NEED to remember at all times; if they aren't using the Loch, then their projectiles exist beyond them missing you. You can still get blown up by a grenade even if it thunked off the far wall if you wander over top of it while it's merrily ticking away. This goes double for stickies, which are INTENDED to be used this way. If you don't spot the little glowing bauble, before you wander over it, you're liable to become one with your inner modern art sculpture all sudden-like in a hurry. This is probably what makes 'spam' such a massive cuss word in the community.

god damn it! now people will know the secret methods!

For engieer i just use the building at a decoy for emeny to take time shot at it while im doing the work

Take all his beer to Watergate That cracked me up so much.

How does he have that centered view model?

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.

I like the demolition man

dealing with responsibilities.. thats something i need

being a engineer main is there anything else because I don't like the state of they counter loving Added:base jumper and sticky jumper does make a combo for any Melee probably a flying bomb

for demos:pyro for airblast or like toofty says go scout for demoknight/pan:go heavy with natasha *it works for me* for stickyspam:quickiebomb launcher for demo *quickie deletes sitckies* and finally for stickytraps:quickiebomb or airblast *also medic could work with vaccinator*

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)

"Pyro has this new mechanic most people don't know about"

mrpaladin: take all his beer to watergate

7:57 "This is simply a test of skill" *Kills the enemy demo with a random crit*

What’s the music at 2:15???

0:16 *mumbles in pyro*

As a Medic main I find one of the better options when without a patient, aside from accepting death, is to feint a retreat, even turning my back to commit to the show, then strafe hard and go for a melee kill. Combat Medics are obvious and easy kills. Playing as a coward and then reversing is the closest to mind games you can do as The Scary German.

5:41 it’s over demoman I have the high ground
