Favorites: Pyro and Sniper. I usually suck as sniper, but every once in a while get 10 headshots in a row or some other crazy thing.
The unfavorite: Heavy. I can win easier if I go heavy, but being that slow just bores the crap outa me.

In order from most favorite to least;
Sniper: I am just awesome with Snipers, if I do say so myself. Nothing like getting 4 headshots in a row due to noobie Snipers/Engies.
Spy: I'm not too good with the spy, but when I'm on a role, I'm on a role. Usually in quick backstabbing bursts.
Scout: I do enjoy running around with this class at times.
Medic: I only play as him when there is a severe lack of them on the map, but I do enjoy being in the support role every so often.
Demoman: Not particularly good at them, but occasionally I like going Demoknight for my own amusement.
Soldier: Just a bit too boring for me. I always feel like I would prefer an assault rifle instead of a rocket launcher for him, though that would be odd in TF2.
Heavy: His play style is a bit too simple for me, but every now and again he's fun to play as. Got, like, 28 points in one life when I stood on top of the payload cart, nearly got the final terminus. It was glorious.
Pyros: Never was too good with them. The whole "W+M1" strategy does not work for me as I am always just out of range for my flamethrower and no matter what I do, even if I light them up for 4 seconds, they still somehow survive.
Engineers: Again, I only really play them when we need a teleporter, but I just cannot seem to land any kills with my sentries. Bit too much of a defensive and boring class for me.

I think the reason they opted for a rocket launcher instead of a assault rifle was to reduce the 'Call-of-Duty' factor. In TF2, there is no mobile, accurate automatic weapon, basically meaning that combat relies more on positioning as you attempt to maneuver your team into a closer kill range. Simply put, mid and long range combat is almost non-existent in TF2 (unless you're the sniper), unlike in CoD, where popping your head out for an instant a hundred meters away means death from the numerous accurate, automatic firearms.Jumplion said:
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.

So far (I'm a F2P nub) I'm liking the Heavy, Engineer, and Demoman. They're accessible + powerful, and seem to rely more on tactics than on twitch ability and familiarity with the controls. I can't get into Spy or Sniper - they just seem really finicky and situational to me. But I've been playing with or against people who are actually good at them and those people can absolutely wreck everything, so it's probably just a learning curve thing.
I like Soldier and Pyro the most and my least favorite to play as is Spy. I?m just really bad at spy and I?m not interested enough to learn how to do it properly.
I used to like Engineer but I can no longer be arsed messing around with all the buildings.

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.

Least Favorite: Sniper, Spy
Though most of the time I'm forced to go Medic because my team is IDIOTS.

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 >.>

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!

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
