I love to play pyro, however, I'm not one of the people who runs wildly at the enemies in attempt to kill them before they kill me. I use the "Puff and Sting" method, (Decreaser+ Axtinguisher+Reserve Shooter,) and I have tons of fun with it.
TF2 players, what class do you use the most?

Demoman. I've perfected the art of grenade sniping and Eyelander-Chargin' Targe combo.
Grenade launcher -- direct hit has no damage falloff, you can do 100+ damage per direct hit
Chargin' Targe -- dat damage protection, dat rush. Direct explosion hits do so much less damage, Pyros are nothing but a joke (unless they have the Axtinguisher)
Eyelander -- it's the fucking greatest weapon ever. No contest. Run nearly as fast as a Scout, further melee reach, more health than a Soldier. Combine it with the Chargin' Targe, you have on top of the Eyelander bonuses higher explosives and fire resistance, the sudden rush, and the almost certain free critical hit.
It's everything I love about Scout (movement speed, high damage, hit 'n' run) with more health, better weapons, better resistances, a grenade launcher, and further melee range.

I try to rotate through the classes for learning's sake and have a lot of fun doing it, but I'd have to say I use the Demoman the most. Unlike the rest of you, running around with your heads full of eyeballs...
That eerily looks like mine. Swap Pyro for Scout and it's practically identical.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I tend to prefer the more technical and/or tactical classes.
After all, one of the hardest challenges in TF2 is playing Scout equipped with Scattergun/Pistol/Candy Cane and surviving against a team of soldier/demo-spam.
Hmmm...I must say I prefer the Persuader, Shield, Launcher combo.TheYellowCellPhone said:
With Treasure Hunt Hat and Venetian Shades, of course.
I play spy or pyro for some fun, medic or demoman when I feel like being useful, and I cycle through the others when I get bored.
For me, it's usually medic or scout, but I'll switch to whatever is needed (unfortunately, that's almost always medic; why does nobody else play medic and let me have a turn with some of the offensive classes? 
). Truth is, though, most new players have one class that they're actually kind of good at. You're not ready to start switching between classes as needed until you have at least a few hours of each under your belt, and for serious, competitive play, it's probably more like 25 hours each, if not 90-100. As players get better, they tend to branch out; if they're new, they're better off sticking with what they know until they're ready to start on a whole new learning curve.

I usually always end up playing Pyro, Spy, or Medic.
I'm not one for going on massive frontline killing sprees, and the classes just click with me.
I am one badass Pyro, sniping with the Flaregun, etc.
As a Spy, on a good day, I can single-handedly decimate an Engineer turtle on a point and kill more than half of their team.
My Medic skills, I can attest to Starcraft 2 for giving micro skills.

Well, according to the stats in the game, my most played is Demoman, but that just doesn't seem correct to me.
I most frequently play as Spy, Sniper, Engineer, and Medic. I prefer the unconventional gameplay.

I use the Heavy the most, because it's the only way I can make any sort of impact on the game; usually I'm just blindly firing everywhere before getting taken out, and the Heavy is kinda designed to do that.
It's odd for me.
See, I LOVE sniper (Well, I'm Australian, how couldn't I?) and the pyro. Then on the list comes Scout, then maybe Demoman, then Engie.
That is just some of my favourites, right, but guess what? I have clocked I think double as many hours into the Engie class than any other.
Really, for me it's because I can find a spot, dig in, never die, and so why would I change class?
EDIT: When I say why would I change class, I also factor in fun and what the team needs, but if we have really shit Engies, I will go Engie to help.
But, above all, I switch classes when the team needs it.
But I still hate heavy.

engineer is about half the total playtime, but that's mostly because i play on pubs and feel sorta obligated as one of the four guys who knows what he's doing.
when that ISN'T happening, i always have fun sniping and demomanning with loch'n'load sticky launcher caber setup.
for the most i can play all the classes above averagely (although i'm a pretty awesome medic) so i just pick whatever the team could use at the time.

My playtime is like: Soldier > Pyro > Medic > Scout
I'm just terrible with the other classes.
Though I probably have the only medic that actually looks like a real doctor/surgeon:

Spppppy!
Is it wrong that I have so much fun as a spy not shooting in a FPS? For me, nothing's better than successfully tricking others. Of course this has led me to hate pyros with a passion due to how often they randomly attack team mates. I believe they have my lowest play time.
I use all classes though, but I believe at the moment it's something like Spy(18h),Engineer(8h),Scout(8h),Demoman(7h),...,Pyro(2h).

Hmm... Most played is pyro, since it's damn fun. I'm like a spy, only useful in open combat too. Then I play whatever is needed, occasionally whatever is lacking. It is also criminally fun to be offensive with medic - no one expects a MEDIC to stab you! After that and pyro, the most fun is probably soldier. Boom!
