well think of the context.

well rocket launcher for demo is pretty cool.

IS THAT A STICKLAUNCHER/STICKER SPAM/STICKY JUMPER/SHEILD YOU GOT THERE!?!?!?!

RUN RUN RUN

well anyways, Im ok with crutch and load. its just that demo also gets sticky jumper/shields/... which is bad because soldier only got a measly shotgun/banner. Demo also gets a bunch of neat melee weapons

Oh like Soilder doesn't have some impressive unlocks. The Direct Hit is even better than the LnL because it travels faster, can 1-shot scouts under normal circumstances, and has no arc. Also, you seriously underestimate the Shotgun's usefulness. Also, he has a backpack that regens health. Also, the Equalizer and Escape Plan exist.

Aye, yes. But you can't say it isn't at least vaguely hypocritical.

OP is cri about Loch N' Load me thinks.
The only reason I hate the Loch N' Load is because "Noobs use it like an Caber bound to the primary slot."

Are you talking loch?

The big difference is that demo's stuff has no damage falloff, so while the rocket launcher can deal above 100 it's more likely going to be dealing less than 70 on a direct hit, whereas a hit with loch is always going to be 120.
Plus it's easier to get direct hits with loch than it is with most rockets (it goes about as fast as the liberty launcher).

Though if you're talking stock grenade launcher or iron bomber, or even the loose cannon, idk what complainers you're talking about :?

True, but think of it this way: at a distance where the damage falloff would actually matter, the Demo (even one using Loch) would actually have to put some thought into aiming the thing, as opposed to Soldier, who could still kill them. This holds true at longer ranges too. Soldier could easily fire four 20 damage rockets, but the Demo's 120 damage pill required him to account for arc. If he's using stock, then he also would need to consider travel time, but that's either here nor there.

I don't think the LnL is OP. It's just that the cosmetic-loaded tryhards use it, so players call it a "crutch" for having higher damage.

But i don't think mentioning the Soldier's weaponry as OP can be a counter argument against them.

Nearly 40% faster.

No people call it a crutch because it's easier to use than stock but has a lower skill ceiling due to no rollers.

Demo lands 1/3, it does 120.
Soldier hits 3/3 on the edges, it does like 90 or something.
And I'd argue that the loch would be easier to hit at medium-long ranges than 3/3 edge shots.
Arc means nothing outside of long range, and at that point a player should be able to just move out of the way of any projectile sent at them, so it's kinda moot.

And that's saying nothing of how demo also comes equipped with stickies which themselves are often considered better than rockets, or a shield that provides some strong utility.
