    It's a coping strategy for people with big egos. They can't comprehend that there's someone out there better than them, so they put the blame on literally anyone and anything but themselves.

    Engineer main here. A lot of these sentry places are around corners or in close quarters places, where enemies can get close to the sentry gun without the sentry even being able to target the enemy until they are right on top of the sentry. Good sentry gun placement not only relies on covering multiple angles of possible entry at (relative) arms length, but also includes a teamwork element. A demoknight charging at a sentry from close range with no one around to shoot the demoman may result in the sentry’s death, but combine the sentry with an engineer, or really any class that can deal knockback, and that demoknight is as good as dead. A sentry is not designed to operate alone. It’s designed to operate as a punisher for overextending players in the backlines.

    That's why the engineer should be reasonably close by to his sentry, so he can prevent the enemy from using these strategies by using his shotgun or pistol against them, throwing them off rhythm. Alternatively, use the Wrangler and take control of your own sentry gun.

    Fighting sentries as a demoknight only really works if they're unattended though. All that needs to happen is for the enemy engineer to body block or knock you back a bit and you're inevitably dead. Even then it's usually so much of a hassle and gamble that switching classes/playstyles makes more sense the more and better engineers on the enemy team there are.

    Yeah, this is my problem with the point Solar's trying to make, too. It never actually seems worth it to go through this process as Demoknight. Hell, even in the clips where he *does* destroy the Sentry and kill its engineer, by the time he's done so, he's at low enough health that just about anyone else on the enemy team can waltz up and kill him in one shot.

    15:00 They didn't really execute this idea well on a lot of maps. Dustbowl is a notoriously good example of doing exactly the thing Valve tried to prevent: When I feel powerless as a Scout on Dustbowl, it's not because I can improve and just need to play better, it's because I'm on the losing team fighting a lost battle with a class that statistically cannot win against 3 Engineers holding last. I had countless situations on Dustbowl where I'd do exactly what you said: Pick Demo, use Stickyjumper, propel myself to the front, suicide bomb a whole Sentry nest with 4 pills, repeat until nest is gone, switch back to the class I ACTUALLY want to play. I don't think a single Engineer counters anyone. A single Engineer can be picked off and bullied at any time in the game. It's when those Engis unionize and get a whole nest AND Pybros AND Heavies covering them that you start to feel the impact of how bad a class can be and usually it's entirely related to the type of map you play on. This would never happen on Thundermountain. You'd never be in a situation on Thundermountain that a non-soldier non-demo class couldn't try to tackle, whereas on Dustbowl you feel exclusively forced to use those classes because of the tight corridors and fighting spaces that allow you to just brainlessly spam explosives around every corner to destroy Sentries before they get to shoot back.

  • @cameron571

    As someone who's played since 2008, and used to main engie - even before we could move sentries - I can say that one thing has never changed about sentries: Placement is EVERYTHING, and timing is second only to placement. If you place a sentry in the right spot, it really isn't so easy to take out (even unattended) - as long as there aren't any really good demomen or spies playing. If placed right, only a demoman, spy, or any ubered character will be able to take it down without assistance. And, if attended by the team, it becomes a pretty dangerous tool. Noob engineers almost never know where to place their sentries. But once someone gets a good feel for a map, and knows how to properly use the rescue ranger and wrangler and pair those with the right wrench for the situation, the engie basically just won't die, ever. The sentry will stay up and the team will almost always win as long as the engie doesn't do anything risky and as long as the team knows how to counter multiple ubers at once. And then there's timing - if you're against a well coordinated team and they're nowhere to be seen, and it's about 1 minute to the end of the game, you can deny a pump push by moving your sentry at the right time to the right place. Like, you can just straight-up solo deny them with no hope left of winning simply because there won't be enough time to touch point by the time they handle the sentry and soft, slow scouts who bonked past the sentry just run into all the heavies, medics, and soldiers. The beauty of TF2 is it really is a team game because even the classes that *could* be hopelessly overpowered when played by a skilled player are manageable if people on the other team are willing to play to win rather than just uselessly dying as their favorite class all game.

    Fun fact: in team fortress classic, there is something demo can do that is unique. He can plant a bomb that gives the player the option to choose a fuse time. Once said bomb is placed, it will explode and do heavy damage once the fuse is up. Honestly it wasn't very practical since you couldn't prematurely detonate it if need be and there was a cool down on it so it couldn't be spammed, so your only option to get kills with it would be to place it somewhere where you'd expect someone to be by the time it blows up. A more modern rendition of this comes from tf2 classic in the form of the demoman's dynamite pack, which has a set fuse time every time it is deployed, though it can be thrown further similar to how stickies can be lobbed further by holding down the mouse. It consists of a primary explosion followed by multiple smaller ones, which are caused by the dynamite bundle breaking apart into multiple sticks. It can be deactivated by an enemy engineer hitting it with his wrench
