KanecoyankeeKanecoYou remember when you feel helpless 1v1ing a decent scout, now it will be even worse.
or you could just practice pipe aim
Since when are pipes reliable?
If you play demo and you are bad with pipes then you are a bad demoman
-edit
don't get me wrong: a soldier should be good at using both rockets and shotgun, a scout should be good at hitting shots with scattergun and pistol...
Demoman's pipes are faster than stickies and you can do more damage with them. Stickies are good for area control, spamming and picking players(with crits).
The only reall downside that i see from this update is the fact that long-range clutch krit stickies are pretty much removed, and these offered game changing outcomes and plays.
Pipes still are your main weapon and in my opinion should be used as your main weapon. You can do more damage with them than if you use stickies as your main weapon.
Yes it will take a lot of change and adaption for people who are used to rely only on their stickies and simply spamming pipes in choke areas to be successfull with low dmg stickies... but it will come.
