they're, more than likely, going to change the sticky launcher again in the next few updates, along with some of the other stupid weapons (tideturner), so there's no reason to complain really.

did they listen to complaints about the quickfix from the 6s community?

I think that valve is happy with where the QF is in highlander (i.e. viable at times but not broken), if they care at all.

The vaccinator fills pretty much the same role that the quick-fix did pre-buff, minus the viaduct use.

As soon as I saw the identical scouts I immediately thought of duwatna in his coffin while the twins hold each other and cozen+grape console each other.

If you remade it with the appropriate hats of street hoops I would be a very happy man.

The past few days I have played a bit more since the update, both HL and 6v6, at a decent level, and the class really feels incredibly boring now. This nerf doesn't really stimulate anything interesting, and I think it definitely hinders the meta.

The "lay a carpet of stickies" and pray they pass over strategy is really really boring and completely uninteresting, all the reasons for which I fell in love with this class competitively are gone. There's no aggression, you feel completely irrelevant. There's no point in playing in such an excruciating way. I have no fun playing like this.

Might as well start playing another class that can actually do something.

This is how I feel about it now too. The class still works I guess, it's just extremely unsatisfying. Hoping to see something happen.

Maybe youre just used to the high amounts of damage you used to be able to deal before, and anything less is just not cutting it? In that case, its just a matter of getting adjusted.

I don't think it's just not getting used to the lower damage, the stickies themselves are no longer adjusted to the defensive power of some of the classes. A lot of a demo's damage to begin with is useless damage that can't be followed off of efficiently. It's even worse now that a demo can't even outdamage scouts sometimes.

Besides traps, demos aren't really good for bullying teams out of points anymore and it can be hard to push especially on lasts where the other team is using heavies and engies. Even worse for highlander because you're always dealing with those.

I don't think so. Initially I was optimistic about the change because I thought it would change the game up. But it hasn't really done that, and it's made playing demo incredibly underwhelming. Now I can beat the other demo to mid, tag the demo, their scouts, and their roamer, and all it does is cause them to wait an extra second before initiating. It's just not exciting. Demo still works I guess. Like he can still occupy his basic role in the game, but that's pretty much all he can do and it's really boring to play.

pretty much every demo main i have on my friends list has switched classes and if they haven't they just play a semi-regular demo with much pussyness added. I think sniper should be ran now, better area denial if he's good with head shots or something idk.
