demoman is suppose to be one of engies greatest counters besides the spy, the engie shouldn't be able to 100% counter his counter
Still doesn't change the fact that Stickybomb launcher needs a nerf or two, it's quite powerful secondary weapon.

I don't ever have much trouble getting sticky clusters with a shotgun or scattergun.
Some good aim to shoot Stickies from the air.
"Stickybombs are fired from the launcher at 805 Hammer units per second, around 34 miles per hour. A fully charged Stickybomb travels at a speed equivalent to approximately 230% of that of an uncharged one."

Somehow, I doubt the Ambassador could headshot if it was inaccurate.
the ambassador/revolver's first shot is 100% accurate AFAIK
and I also think that the first pistol shot is usually dead on.
The original description when it first came out was "Crits on accurate headshot", which might've confused some people such as myself.

Well if it was inaccurate it'd be kinda hard to headshot with it, wouldn't it?
Yeah, but I mean like, the hitscan sometimes completely bypasses the supposed crit shot.
How? You can see them easily if they aren't hidden. You can shoot them off with any gun. Pyros can easily makes sticky demos their bitch with a few good air blasts. It takes 3 stickies to kill most classes. I find the sticky launcher not overpowered at all.
Then you need some practice with your aiming. Only class where I need 3 stickies is over-healed Heavy.
And I said powerful, not overpowered. It's a secondary weaponry anyways, it shouldn't be as good as or better than primary weaponry. And there sure is some serious problems when most of the Demoman uses Stickybomb Launcher most of the time in offense, instead of Grenade Launcher/Loch-n-Load. It's damage and explosion range is too high IMO.
