Hey guys! I've recently become very interested in playing demo. I've been playing a lot of it over the last two weeks and I really want to start putting forward a lot of practice towards the class. However, ever since the sticky nerfs came into existence, I've come to realize how much people hate stickies. Everyone keeps complaining about how sticky spam is just for noob demos, and that they should only use stickies for traps and not for spam. However, when I watch 6v6 demo POVs, they often use stickies as a primary tool, using it for deterring spam and reliable damage.
I've come to ask how much sticky usage is too much. I often don't like using stickies in pubs because I don't want to be yelled at by some tryhards who get killed by them, so I try to use my pill launcher as much as I can. However, I'd really like to use my sticky launcher more, and I was wondering if this is a good practice or if I really shouldn't be doing it, like everyone else suggests. Thanks!

If they're whining about getting destroyed by stickies, you're doing your job as demo.
If they're not, why are you missing?

If you really care about that crap go to a server with nerds on it like Skial and practice stickies there. Sometimes I like to run booties and stickies while listening to loud music to achieve zen.

To paraphrase some top demo (I think it was Platinum, maybe Kaidus. It's been a while.): Having good stickies is the most important part about demo aim. You can have amazing pipes, but if you can't aim your stickies well, you're not gonna be successful. You have terrible pipes and amazing stickies? You can still do very well.
Ideally, you want to have both, but practice your stickies and learn to use them properly. Focus on that first.

there is no too much sticky spam
stickies are so overpowered that even valve realizes it

I've been maining demo for the last 2 years of my tf2 career and stickies always were and will be the main weapon. No matter how Valve tried/tries to nerf them stickies will always be a realiable damage source and are good to DEMOLISH things as DEMO man

So it's okay that the scout is so fast, has the double jump ability and two high dmg hitscan weapon, and that the soldier has fucking high dmg rockets AND a mid-dmg hitscan weapon, but it's not okay that the demo with only non-hitscan weapons, does high damage?
I like that logic.

But don't you realize? This guy killed me because Demo is the easiest class in the game and people that play him literally don't have to aim. Ever. Its pretty obvious why there aren't that many great demos. It's because no one wants to play such an easy class that requires no skill.
Did I get the illogical, whiny attitude of pubbers right? I've been practicing by listening to every pub player that has ever touched TF2 and died.

thank you reddit for this incredible post about stickies
God I wish valve would just fucking nerf the god damn thing and stick to their guns about it. There's no reason a weapon designed for traps should destroy half a server by using low skill tactics. A sniper needs good aim to dominate. A spy needs to outsmart and outplay the enemy to dominate. A heavy and pyro needs positioning. Soldier needs a bit of timing and positioning. A demo just needs to equip booties then just hold down M2 and spam their M1 buttons. The fact he can deal ~80-90 damage in a split second will get rid of any need of positioning. You just need to be in a range where you don't need to charge the stickies. You don't need aim because of splash damage. You don't need to really outsmart or outplay the enemy because all your doing is holding down one button and spamming another. If you get a kritz medic then you are guaranteed to destroy the other team because one sticky immediately wipes out 8/9 classes 10/10 times at around 280-290 damage. Plus with the high damage output those random Crits are bound to happen. One lucky crit sticky can literally cancel a teams hard and coordinated push since it kills the entire team ending the capping. That nerf was better left alone because now they've shown the demo mains that if they complain enough nothing will be changed and they've shown the heavy mains they literally give 0 shits about them. You dun goofed valve. Sorry for ranting.

for me SOAP DM is great for practicing stickies and pills
you'll basically have to predict air stickies or where to aim or flick your sticky launcher (or nade launcher) at in order to achieve great damage against your opponent (soldier(s), scout(s), demo(s)) and usually dm is fast paced so it should the way you want to practice
edit:
btw dm isnt a place where you can just spam and pray
preferrably tf2center is the best choice for team play and sticky spamming i guess
