Favorite & least favorite TF2 classes?

[Pharsalus]

My favs are Heavy, and Engineer, been great with both of them since TFC. Worst for me are spy and demoman, never had the patience for spy and the the demomans weapons are just too slow.

 

[deshorty]

Favorite: Pyro, Spy and Engineer, although I'm only good as the engineer.

Least Favorite: Soldier and Medic. I value their worth, but in my hands, they really have none.

 

[Rooster893]

Favorite: Soldier, Scout, Pyro and Spy. I play with them best.

Least Favorite: Sniper and Engineer. Sniper I suck balls at and I find Engineer to be boring and difficult.

 

[The Great JT]

Favorite: Soldier, Engineer, Heavy
Least Favorite: Sniper, Spy

Though most of the time I'm forced to go Medic because my team is IDIOTS.

 

[pendragon177]

Favourites: Spy and recently Engineer (I play Battle Engie/Ninjaneer

Least Favourites: W+M1 Pyros (especially when I play Spy)

 

[Jazoni89]

Favourites: Scout, Pyro, Heavy

Least favourites: Demoman, Solider, Sniper

Snipers are so god damn annoying, especially playing as Scout.

 

[Mute52]

Favorites: Soldier, Scout
Least favorite: Engineer, Sniper, F2P

 

[pspman45]

Favorite: Spy, Sniper, Medic
Least Favorite: Pyro, Heavy (the medics just refuse to heal me ;_; )

 

[Julianking93]

Pyro, Heavy and Sniper are my best classes so far.
I haven't tried Demoman or Medic yet but every other class I usually end up failing miserably with, especially Spy for some reason. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I can't ever seem to get kills as a spy and end up getting caught pretty quickly >.>

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Favorite: SpamoDemoman, Spy, Scout

Demoman -- Sticky launcher is incredibly simple to use but so powerful, the Eyelander is the best fucking melee weapon in any game ever.

Spy -- I'm fairly good at him, have gotten all the achievements for him legitimately, named my most used Spy weapons, and has the most play time

Scout -- Again, fairly good at him. Cappin' your point, milking your team, meatshotting your bitches.

Least favorite:

Engineer -- too boring or too frustrating, never something in between

Pyro -- I hate this class (since Scoot and Spah are my most played classes), and I'm only mediocre with him anyway. Also, long live Degreaser + Axetinguisher

Heavy -- too slow!

 

[Not PvP Flagged]

Favorite: Medic, I love being able (to an extend) to choose who lives and who dies
Least Favorite: Either Heavy or Sniper, I'm just terrible with both of them

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

I will just cut to the chase with my classes in order of play time.

Medic: 23 hours

Soldier: 11 hours

Engineer: 10 hours

Heavy: 8 Hours

Scout: 6 Hours

Demoman: 4 Hours

Pyro: 1 Hour

Spy: 40 minutes

Sniper: 7 Minutes.

My aim sucks and I am a fail spy

 

[Arctarus'sCookie]

Favorite: Soldier (Black box, shotgun, equalizer)
Medic (Blutsagter, medigun/quick fix, amputator)
Scout (shortstop, pistol, holy macarel)
Degroot only Demoman + ulapool

least favorite: Pyro (for being an annoying spammer and quick kills with the axtinguisher)
Sniper (for never joining in the fights)

 

[Mittens The Kitten]

I can't get into Spy or Sniper - they just seem really finicky and situational to me

Find open space, snipe. Thats a fairly common "situation".

 

[ace_of_something]

I actually checked recently i have damn near equal play time with all of them.
Though Demoman is the slight forerunner followed by engineer.
Sniper being the least.

 

[Eggbert]

I've got to give my favourite to the Pyro, I just love the whole "firey ambush of terror" thing. That and blowing up demomen with their own grenades is fun when I pull it off. My least favourite to go up against is going to be spies with the Dead Ringer. Just seeing that flaming shadow, knowing I can't kill it- argh. Least favourite to play is going to be Demoman- I'm just rubbish at it.

 

[wrecker77]

Being the scout is just amazing. I also enjoy some spy or medic.

I really don't like the soldier. Its just so popular. It gets alot of attention that could go to other classes. And so many people play it.

 

[MadMage]

Spy and Scout because I always have the most fun out of them,middle is Demoman and Pyro cause its based on how good i am that day, and my least favorite is the Heavy and Solider cause they are SLOW! (even though I do best with Solider)

 

[Gindil]

My favorite class would have to be the Pyro. There's just something satisfying about sneaking up behind a group of enemies and setting them all ablaze. That and I find them VERY effective against spies.

My least favorite class would be the Demoman. Don't get me wrong he has his uses, especially in Payload games in which you place sticky bombs all around the bomb cart and blow up unsuspecting victims. But I also find it very annoying having to fight anyone who is playing as one. ESPECIALLY if you're a regular Pyro user like myself. Not only can he blow me up from afar with his grenade launcher or sticky bombs, but he can also one shot me with that charging sword attack at close range. (Not sure what that is, I don't play as him often.) Plus I can't seem to hit anything with his grenade launcher.

From one Pyro to another I have to say : MMhmmf.

But seriously, for demomen there's a few rules. Get close, puff and axetinguish or burn and if they escape to midrange, shotgun them. Sure, you can use WASD + M2, but if you see a sword coming for you, move to the side. However, be very careful of his new Ali's Booties, which allow him to move side to side.

I find killing Demomen to be a decent task. Unless they have a Caber. The only class that gives me real trouble would be the Scout because it's tricky to tie him down for a kill.

Least fave class has to be Sniper. Yes, I happen to play a decent game, but the waiting for a kill then dying to spies, engies or another sniper can only go on for so long before I switch classes.

 

[scorptatious]

I've recently started playing Pyro more seriously, with Degreaser, Axtinguisher and Shotgun - and it's really annoying.

I don't WANT to be a W+M1er. But most of the time, even with this combo, it's ten times more effective. If you're a relatively low-health class, or even another Pyro, just flamethrower on its own will kill you far more quickly than any amount of switching. Then I get moaned at for being a W+M1er, and I try to use the Axtinguisher more, so I die more.

GAH.

I find it dumb that people are complaining about what the Pyro was meant to do. He's a close range class, so it makes sense for him to keep the flames on people he attacks. I say just do what you feel good at doing and pay no attention to those who complain about it.

I have just figured out the moving to the side thing you mentioned. I was playing on Turbine as a Pyro one time, and I happened to run into a Demoman in the vents. He had his sword out, backing up while I was using my flamethrower. I anticipated his attack, backed up, and moved to the side just in time. I watched as he slammed into a wall and finished him off with my flames. T'was a glorious day for all Pyros who have fallen to the Demoman's charge.

EDIT: And by all pyros I mean me.
