CollaideMy bad, I only remembered playing countless of pickups where demomen baited their entire team by going lochnload
tbh those demos were pretty bad or playing with it the wrong way/not using stickies for the primary damage output then.
It's better at getting people who are in your face like scouts rushing you and you can also spam from a safer distance and pound people because of the way the projectile speed works.
Because it's faster and they're flying straight it means that you can hit people in a choke from distance where the shot will travel through the entire choke horizontally, as opposed to pipes where you have to aim up and so they'll land in the choke.
