Dealing with Demoknights as Scout

A really good demoknight, that is.

Just came up against a guy whose entire steam page was devoted to showing off his demoknight skill and he had 4000 hours of game time (I have 650). I got him a fair few times as scout, but half the time he'd see me and just charge straight in for the crit kill.

Any advice on dealing with this? I know it's irregular, but just so I can turn the tide next time, no pun intended. It's just the charge that I cannot handle.

Yeah hilarious...

I'm not a particularly good player yet and so players like this guy and his famed '47-0 duel record' can still give me problems.

Never mind.

We aren't mad at you, it's just that this forum is generally more competitively oriented so pub stuff is sometimes looked down upon. I suggest r/tf2 for this sort of thing

Sure. I'm of low level comp ability and have played comp, but I came across the issue today thought I'd ask on a forum I actually go on. It's not like I asked in the main section. This guy was clearly a comp player anyway as a few of his team had the same team name as him.

Yeah I suppose, ta.

Although mid-range can become point blank very quickly.

ok well a bunch of people just gave you advice that works but if u want to dismiss it just like that then that's cool too (move left/right instead of back because he can't turn that well assuming charge n targe how did u not think about this before???)

You and others made pointless comments, presumably to get some precious upvotes at my expense.

One or two made welcome suggestions :)

There's not a clever trick to it. You either kill him before he gets to you or you get out of the way. And sometimes you get killed.

As I'm a professional demoknight

I'd recommened going on high ground so he cant reach you (a box or something), and then taunt.
