Demo-spam is the easiest TF2 Class to do well with

inb4 "lel pyro and heavy r ez-ist dumb dumb xDD" This is an opinion anyways.

inb4 "lel qq more salty tearz r tasty xDD" Be constructive, ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

In my opinion, demo is easily one of the most damaging and easy-to-learn classes. Sure, pyro can w+m1, but if you aren't braindead you should just shoot him if you see him/run away and kite. Sure, heavy is essentially a ranged w+m1 pyro if he moves forward, but he's a big-slow target, without a med he's much less of a problem. With a medic, you focus them both.

Now, when it comes to a Spam-o-man, even if they have little to no skill with him, he can kill very, very quickly(unless they're literally at ~10 hours played). All a demo has to do is look at you and m1+m2 with even a little accuracy with his sticky launcher, and if you're without a medic, you'll most likely lose unless you're a heavy. When it comes to people who are skilled with demo, they're gonna win almost every fight they get in, despite any medics, simply by them being better at placing stickies. Now pair that demo up with a medic(particularly of the kritz variety) and he's nigh unstoppable without a very good sniper and some open space or another class with an uber-/vacc-med. Being a reflect pyro won't work most of the time, since all he has to do is simply m1 some more stickies your way, too. To me, it seems a med/demo pair is potentially much better than a med/heavy combo, at least damage- and mobility-wise.

Is there any sort of counter for a pocketed demo other than what I've stated above? Thanks for reading!

scout fucks demo six ways from sunday
soldiers are also extremely good at picking demos, as are snipers [obviously]

get off dustbowl if you're having trouble with demos
medics are a more common sight than stock demos in the average pub post nerf

Despite what Slop says, yeah: Demo is one of the most overpowered classes, and a pocketed demo can hold the majority of a team at a choke, which is why newer maps have so many flanking routes.

The M1M2 spam is pretty much unpunishable unless the sniper can get a sightline on him, and in most maps there are plenty of places where a demo can easily remain semi-protected, sheilded from bombing soldiers, with the arming speed of the quickiebomb launcher, can wreck scouts, and short of a coordinated push or uber, mostly untouchable.

Deciding if the demo is truely overpowered, comes down to how much value you place on skill and teamwork.
