It will be like the shotgun, as a primary or secondary. (i.e Soldier's shotgun is a secondary, while Engineer's is primary.)

Oh good, now Demo's will have the ability to hover above things and spam stickys.

Time to warm up the Skill Cannon.
 
If this is a hype train, it broke through the wall and went to reddit, killed everyone there, stepped on lotus, burned down OZFUR and flew to the moon ...


NEW WEAPONS.
 
They're not even out yet, its too soon to start calling them broken.

Even if they aren't well designed Valve always straightens them out with time.

Plus I'd personally rather have some 'broken' weapons that will get balanced out down the road compared to no new weapons at all

No new weapons, and fixing what we have already is much better.
But no, lets introduce more crap into what is already a clusterfuck of balance.

We don't need new weapons, we need new maps. New weapons break old maps that were not designed with those weapons in mind. The demo shield is probably the least broken, because charge turning really should be a thing, just like how Engie got the ability to move buildings, and Spy got the ability to replenish cloak through metal.

However, with the new shield, its a straight upgrade over the targe, and with the fire resistance and turning, outclasses the screen.

And it looks badass with the Treasure Hat. My Demopan is now complete.
 
Why the hell did they add a shield that is 100% better than other shields?
Not entirely. Each shield has benefits others do not. Charge has resisitances, screen has bash and tons of damage, and the new one lets you become a twirly wirily demomaniac
