A lot of you guys have asked me to do a video to help you improve with the Demoman

And i say Demoman, the guy with the bombs. Not that abomination besides him.

So today i bring you 10 essential tips to get better with the Demo

Despite the fact that people thinks Demoman is an easy class

you need to practice a lot with it in order to fight experienced players

This video is oriented towards beginners and/or people who want to get better with it in general

Some advices might help veterans aswell tho

This is essential with all the classes, demoman included

The people who thinks that the classes with explosives don´t need to aim

never played against someone who destroys you unless you land 2/3 perfect grenades on him.

In fact, since both of his weapons are proyectiles, makes it harder to aim than the Scout for example.

With classes like the Scout, you only need to click on the enemy to do damage

but classes like Soldier or Demoman requires you to predict where the enemy will move before you shoot

This is easy to do against new players, but vs veterans it can be pretty hard

Normally, you want to aim at the enemy´s feet

Since you can make them fly if you do it this way, preparing them for an airshot

You might be wonering...how do i improve my aim?

You can fight bots in maps like tr_rocket_shooting2 and tr_walkway_rc2, for airshot practice

or you can also fight other players in 1v1,  in something called MGE

This is a map made of parts of other popular maps, like viaduct middle, badlands spire,....

In which you have a duel against other player to see whos the first to score 20 kills

and the hp and ammo regenerates after every kill / Death

For more information on these maps and gamemode, check the description

Both grenades and stickies are proyectiles that make an arc with their trayectory

and this helps to attack the enemy from blind spots, or destroy sentries without taking damage.

The Demoman is the only class that can do this

and this is why he is the best vs the Engineer

Making good use of this its vital for any good Demo

Remember that the grenades come out faster than the Stickies, so the arc is smaller

that helps you taking out enemies from the distance

The stickies are useful to take out enemies that you cant hit with the nades

Or simply those objetives that are outsustaining your damage (people with medics / Sentries being repaired)

Its very important to practice with both of these weapons and get used to its arc

and you will get better at this when you practice your aim

All  of you should know that you can charge the stickies if you hold M1

but how many of you use this on a daily basis?

For some reason this is overlooked by a lot of people and its really useful.

It allows the demoman to have some way to of damage from long range

since in this range the grenades are way too easy to dodge, and not many people expect a sticky from afar

therefore, this is useful to finish off fleeing enemies

On top of that, charging the stickies gives them a lot of extra speed

Whereupon its all advantages in 99% of the situations.

Keep the arc of the stickies in mind before shooting

This is the difference between aiming to the horizon

The difference is quite massive, isn´t it?

In order to practice this, get used to charge a sticky everytime you are about to fight someone

this way it will be ready when you get to your objetive

Everyone knows that the Demo is great for area denial thanks to the sticky traps

However not many of the demos use this outside of doors, control points and corners.

Zones where the enemy will probably check, since they are the most used to sticky trap

If you want to surprise the enemy you must be creative with the traps

hide the stickies under any object of the map that is in a zone where the enemy can walk on

There are many props that can be used to hide stickies in

for instance:  Cones, buckets, stones, wheels and even plants

So experiment with the map and find the best trap for the given situation

Remember that the enemy will learn about its mistakes and (probably) won´t fall twice on the same trap.

I might upload a video showing many sticky traps of some competitive maps in the future, stay tuned

For me, this is one of the key abilities of any player who wants to master the Demoman

since it gives you increased mobility and versatility both for fighting and fleeing from any problem

A good sticky-jumper can cause asspain on the enemy team, attacking from unexpected spots

on top of that, he goes pretty fast when he jumps, so its hard to hit him while doing so

In fact even the sentries have problems tracking you in open spaces

The downside is that the jump takes 60 of your health, so its good to have a medic healing you before the jump

If you want to learn or get better at sticky-jumping, i recommend that you check out my 2 tutorials

Click on the left for the basic stuff, or click on the right for more advanced techniques.

I think its wise to separate rollouts from jumps in general,

since i believe these are the most used jumps in competitive play.

These let you reach the middle point of cp5 maps in mere seconds.

sometimes faster than Scouts or Soldiers.

Normally each map has 2 or 3 different routes, so be sure to at least know them all

and use the one you need the most given your team composition and the situation of the match

Remember that the Soldier Roamer can still be faster than you in some maps

so in those cases its better to play more defensive even if that means getting to the mid a bit later.

I have a 30 minute video explaining tons of rollouts for some of the competitive maps

Click on the middle of the screen to check it out

If you want to know a rollout for a map that is not in the video, leave a comment and i will help if i can

If you want to maximize your impact on the match you must use your nades and stickies both

Don´t listen to the people who cry about demos only using stickies and think its an op tactic, because is not.

These are the same people that cry over Pyro W+M1, little baby whiners

You cant defeat any enemy using only 1 of the demo weapons, since its easy to counter that

If the Demoman is abusing stickies simply get up close and he will be forced to damage himself to live

if hes using grenades, stay away and dodge them while shooting
