As someone mentioned above, besides the w+m1 "pro players", there really isn't a "worst class" every class is balanced and every class has their strengths and their weaknesses.
Poll: Worst TF2 Class?

On Badwater is does work rather well, as it's the only well designed Payload map. Hoodoo comes close, the first and second areas are really well designed, but the last area it falls flat on it's face. Goldrush is the reverse, the first area is horrible spamfest after the first checkpoint but the last two areas are much better.piscian said:
My worst classes are the demoman, sniper, scout, and engineer. I cant get the hang of the weapons that the demoman and the sniper uses. I am really good with the heavy and the soldier. I am average with the pyro, the spy, and the medic
The sniper wars can be funyy honestly. Espescially when everyone is sniper and either Hunstmans or Kukri's.Mr.Black said:
6 Arrow taunts in rounds like that, so I'm coll with 2fort sniper wars.
i think all the classes are useful and strong in their own ways, but i'll just put it out there, that i hate the Soldier and the Demoman,
I suck with both, and haven't played either for more than 20 minutes (total)
guess i was never into explosives, i like shooting dudes in the face from 3 miles away

The soldier is very powerful. I've used him first and still find him one of my best classes. I do say that it takes a bit of skill to use because you have to think where the enemy is going and then plow them with a ROCKET. Using the shotgun is just as slow as the ROCKET launcher in fire rate because of a pump action. The spread is wide and any distance greater than twenty meters renders it almost useless. Okay, so the enemy gets hit by three bullets from one shot, but that only deals ten damage. If you can lead the target and shoot a ROCKET at the ground the collateral damage will deal more than the shotgun. point blank the shotgun can deal massive damage, but that's a skill a scout should be using not the soldier.Fire Daemon said:
I seem to be the bane of scouts when i'm the soldier. They run up to me trying for the most damage, but they other run in predictable lines or i shoot them in the chest with a ROCKET before they shot me. Scouts can't take a direct rocket most of the time, but if they live they seem stunned that they are still alive and it's easy to just shoot them again.
The ROCKETS are great for taking out turrets because you line up the turret, shoot, and retreat behind a wall, the turret unlocks from you as a target, pop back out, shoot, retreat. That trick should only take about ten to twenty seconds, and if you reload after each shot you maintain three ROCKETS for anyone who might sneak up on you. I might just have a soldier's thought process of how to use explosives or ROCKET launchers, and that might be why it's easy for me to excel in most games that have a soldier class.
I have a strong hatred for missile launchers because the missile guides itself. rockets fly in straight lines so i know where it's going to land, but a freakin missile decides since its target is to the left it should turn left NOW and right into the wall. They control themselves, and the lack of control means ease of use in the open, but when there are undestructible targets jetting out from everywhere the missile tends to collide with it.
I see you play it on the xbox and that might be why it's harder for a soldier to kill things considering it takes console players five seconds to turn around instead of half or even one second for computer users. Maybe turning up the sensetivity on the controller when using the soldier on consoles might be easier for people. if you can turn faster you can get your targeting reticle ahead of your opponent instead of lagging behind until you die.
I don't dislike any of the classes, but I do hate fail Spies and snipers who take part in the sniper wars. I hate fail Spies because the Spy is my favourite class and I hate watching amateurs messing it up.
Basically, when they do any of the following:
Run up to the gates in the pre-game setup disguised as an enemy. Good job letting them know you're coming.
Disguise themselves as a Scout.
Only use one disguise.
Become a Spy when there are already two or more Spies on the team.
The snipers are annoying because it frequently seems like they aren't contributing to the team. Some do, but generally they are the exception. However, you can have great fun hunting the Spies who go after Snipers on the balconys on Two Fort. Just become a Spy, disguise yourself as a Sniper on your team, go into one of the covered areas on the balcony and wait for a suspicious character to arrive. Then stab him in the face.

Definetly Heavy.
I never get killed by heavies, they are weak, easy to kill, slow, large target, and their back yells "STAB ME!" In no class or situation has a heavy killed me.
I think in all of my hours of TF2 a Heavy has killed me once when he was ubered and killed my sentry.

how...? try playing one in cart its impossible to earn a kill. they specialize in close encounters with a small ammount of enemies meaning they wont be very effective if theyre not looking for a 1 versus 1.(ive got 108 hours of soldier i knowoppp7 said:

Nothing wrong with the FaN, sure it can be annoying but it's not hard to deal with. Not that I use it, unless it's a really tight map
Pyro have to be the worst, they take 0 skill. Hold W tand M1 and away you go, only class that doesn't require you to be shooting to damage them, class that requires the least aiming, 3rd fastest class...the list goes on and on.
All people who say soldier is the worst don't know how to play it.

Here's your problem, you're playing on 2fort. Land of the endless stalemates.ironmace1 said:
That said, no class is bad. The user behind it can be. If anything, Sniper, Spy and scout are the hardest to be useful with due to the high skill floor, but also have an equally high skill ceiling (although the spy depends a lot on sheer luck not foiling it's strategy).
Pyros aren't useless. They not only spy check, but they can break up a group and take down that heavy-medic combo. Medics fall to the pyro easily, as they can't heal themselves as fast as they burn. Pyros also take down most anything within seconds, and a good pyro can kill most anything.
Demoman might be voted as the worst because it's a different play style, so they can't play them as well. I found it hard to play, but I'm getting used to how the grenade works, and how it bounces. I'm basically running up close to enemies and killing them quickly, since I can't do long-range grenading yet.
And a Sniper can take down a sentry from a distance, as well as the Engi, without getting shot. They break up a team by killing the strongest link. They may only do the "kill" instead of direct "helping", but you need to remember that taking down the opposing team makes it easier to capture the intel or the control point. It's indirect help by removing the resistance.
All of the classes are useful.

I think TF2 is just that well balanced, there is no best or worst class. Just different learning curves. The soldier, heavy and pyro are easily the simplest to play, but the spy has an insane learning curve without the Cloak and Dagger.
Most annoying for me has to be the Demoman, the number of times I've had been on the receiving end of a cheap kill from a Demoman is horrendous. I swear something is wrong with those stickies.
Also those lame charger pyros give the rest of us a bad name. Strangely few people know about the compression blast and (my personal favourite) the Backburner which gives the pyro that extra depth of play.
