Soldiers and Demomen Face Off in TF2 "WAR" Update

Go Soldier kill the maggot, to demoman "i think he knows fighting a bit better than you do pal, cos he invented it"
To me, the Soldier's going to win, because it's easy to be a fairly good soldier, while it's a lot harder to be an excellent demoman. I feel like soldier's just easier to be reasonably good at, while demoman caters more for the expert players. Obviously there's more average players than experts, so soldier's going to win. Also, I sense that when soldier gets an advantage in numbers, people will go demoman to balance things, and be not very good, making for more easy kills for soldiers 
Note I don't think there's a 'best' class, just that some classes are more newbie friendly, and some are amazing for a highly skilled player.

Not true. All demomen have to do is sit in one spot and lob sticky bombs onto a point, or a cart, or a spawn door, or a door overhang, or a wall corner, and wait for someone to run by. Or just juggle someone with a combination of stickies and regular grenades until they're dead. No real skill necessary involved there eitherSenseOfTumour said:
And I can prove this by the fact that the soldiers went from 100k ahead, to 200k ahead, to now being less than 15,000 ahead of the demomen. In fact the soldiers would actually be LOSING now if not for the free points gained in the Propaganda contest. Why you may ask? because soldiers cannot effectively fight demomen up close. They will lose almost all the time. And at long range the rocket launcher is less effective because you can see it coming. The only equal point is fighting somewhere in between, and it's very hard to find that distance.
Oh yeah, and Demomen can stack damage a lot easier and don't need to rely on critical hits as much.

It's official! The war is over! At least, they've stopped tallying the kills. They haven't announced the winner yet, nor are the new weapons out. Hopefully the update will be soon this evening [small](and soldier will have won)[/small].

Lads, we lost! We're a sorry bunch o'loosers!
We deserved that weapon though, since Valve didn't give Demo a primary weapon in the update. BOOO!

The weapons are so broken it's not even funny. Demos shield let them take a crit pipebomb to the face and not even lose half their health, the soldiers direct will kill you in short range easily, the freaking spy can now build a dispenser because of a glitch. Let me say that again, the Spy, can literally build a FULLY functional dispenser
This update is by far the buggiest and it's more aggravating to play than fun honestly.
