The phrase I have said every time I've played TF2 without fail.
Mostly, I play dm_store, due to the instant action. What I hate though is when an enemy demoman stands behind a crate, and launches grenade after grenade at the spawn door. Or he launches stickys at the spawn door, and blows them up whenever the door opens. This, in my mind, is SKILL-LESS. Launching grenades in a random direction hoping to score a kill is all luck. No skill involved. Unless you call clicking the mouse button a skill.
Whenever I find one in close quarters, it's launch launch launch, hope to hit me, blow self up in the process. Surely that can't be a tactic.
It's not just on dm_store though. I swear to god whenever I come up against a demoman in close quarters, he panicks. Every single demoman panicks, because they weren't expecting it. They were expecting to just hide behind the rest of the team, and fire grenades over them in the off chance that they hit someone. If they don't switch to their primary weapon, they go to their sticky and fire them randomly at the ground, and the sheer splash damage always kills me. On Payload maps, they cover the bomb in stickys. Anyone who goes near it, boom. This slows the gameplay right down, only way to get around this is to shoot them off, giving the demoman plenty of time to spam their primary grenades at the person shooting the stickys off.
I suppose it's not Valves fault, in theory the demoman is a good class, but the general public just use it skillessly. I don't know about the 'pro' scene, so I'm only speaking from public experiences.
tl;dr, demoman is skilless and I hate him. Not because he's black.
