So, yeah, this topic might have been done before, but what the hell, eh?

My most preferred classes, 9th being the lowest and 1st being the highest, are:

9th - Engineer
I can't stand him at all. All he does is build a sentry in front of him and a dispenser behind him and stays there for the whole damn game. I actually fell asleep once playing as him (it was 3 in the morning, but I would have stayed awake as any other class) and I just don't feel like babysitting sentries for 20 minutes.

8th - Demoman
While I feel a certain satisfaction from blowing up four sentries at once, I don't quite get this guy. His weapons are too obscure for me to use in standard combat and only his sticky bombs seem to be useful; pipe bombs are easy to avoid and the bottle is just... meh.

7th - Scout
Capping points and harassing people. That's all he seems to do. I love being him on a map like Granary or Well, but when it comes to Dustbowl and Goldrush, the Scout is reduced to nothing more than sentry bait. Not to mention he dies sooooooooooo easily.

6th - Heavy
Juuuuuust not quite enough to hit the middle ground, the Heavy is an "unstoppable force of nature that brings fear to any who defy him". This is until he gets backstabbed, sniped, blown to bits or hadouken'd while eating a sandvich. It's nice when I'm ubered, but I'm always an easy target and I like living for more than a minute.

5th - Sniper
Hitting the "both good and bad" spot for me is the Sniper. Headshotting enemies and sentries from far away is satisfying and I love defending my team as they advance towards the point, acting as "divine intervention". However, I'm way too easy to kill. Spies, Scouts, other Snipers.... all end me too easily.

4th - Medic
For the same reason as the Sniper; a sense of personal heroism from healing injured teammates and ubering Heavies to push through a solid defense, but I might as well have a nice big bullseye on my face, since EVERYONE wants to get me. Even the other Medics.

3rd - Soldier
Good stuff now. Despite being slow and a little too predictable, I now adore our rocket-spewing tank. Rocket-jumping over enemies to unleash a rain of rockets from above, landing and finishing off that Heavy with a good shovel to the face, then reloading and moving on to unleash more carnage.

2nd - Spy
No one sees me, only a faint trail of smoke from where the Heavy once was. A ghost of a man, the Spy (along with the Sniper) can eliminate priority targets, making them excellent team players. Enemy Medic has an Ubercharge ready? Not anymore, says my knife. Too many sentries? I sap them, you get them while they're down. I am the assassin.

1st - Pyro
Fear me, the Pyro. A bringer of ruin and terror, a master of confusion and chaos. Any who meet me cower as I light my flames and rid you of your pitiful existence. Spies tremble before me, Heavies try in vain to avoid my barbed-wire axe, Snipers know death will come soon as they burst into flames, me standing by them, their wonderful executioner. I am the messenger of death, the servant of the gods.
I am the Pyro. Now fear me.

*sighs* Despite my Pyro monologue there, what do you think?
*waits for Junta to yell at him for bashing the Heavy*

For me its just the pyro, for clan matches with [ALK] I play the medic, but Pyro makes the most fun *little firedevil laughing* Smiley

But, dude, what I totally hate is the demoman, I dont know how they can kill their enemys I'm tooo nervous to wait till 2 or more persons walk on my pipe bombs Cheesy

I play all classes equally but of course I never play engineer...I really can't play that class...

But if I had to make a list:
1. Medic ("WHAT A BLOOD BATH!")
2. Spy/sniper (Do not make me choose between the two best instant kill classes)
3. Scout/Heavy (Both have an edge that I find great)
4. Soldier (I find he is great fun)
5. Pyro (Airblast!)
6. Demoman (well at least I play him more than engineer)
7. Engineer (I like direct combat and I do not find running back to look out for a machine too much fun...but I play him once in a while)

There's the thing, while you're waiting for someone to tread on the stickies you shoot the pipes at someone else's face. Repeatedly. It's quite effective, as I have recently taught John. Wink

Its some of the best advice I've had for demo man. I've switched to defending myself with pipes! Wonderful tactic change and people sort of disintegrate when they run into them... superb! Smiley

I've gone through a few phases of preferred classes. For a while after release I played Demoman and Engineer quite a lot, but have neglected both of those since the Medic update. Like a lot of people Medic, Pyro and Heavy took priority after each class update. But generally I try to play whatever the team currently needs in a given situation. It annoys me to hell when I am the first person in and pick say Sniper, only to find out 4 other idiots decide the attacking team needs 5 snipers.

as the 1st post, 9 the most hated and 1 the most loved and played.
9. engineer: no. just no.
8. pyro: I loved and adored him for Ignis Solus when i started tf2 first, but now i detest him for his lack of versatility and no consistency
7. heavy: virtually useless in a match, he's unluckily not credit to team. he is extremely situational, and he cannot pick his own fights. he is a horrible medic partner, as a good scout pair can take out the medic in 2/3 seconds and leave medic crying for his heilenbot  Cry
6. sniper: while i enjoy headshotting, it's too slow a class =p
5.spy: i love the spy... but i love the classes below more Cheesy
4. medic: it's only when i have junta as my fatty, but so rewarding as he actually -gasp- cares for his medic?!
3. scout: I'm not even winded!
2. demoman: the second most versatile class in the game, he  can deal with anything but a good scout.
1.soldier: my beloved and best class , he's the maggot-killing all-rounded class who can do anything and has no weakness against any class Cheesy

9 - Spy; differs to much from other classes and I'm not willing to spend a lot of time getting good at backstabbing people instead of doing something honourably.
8 - Demoman; No matter how much I play it I just can't seem to get better aiming with pipes
7 - Soldier; I like that one pretty much, but I'm just better at other classes and like them more!
6 - Sniper; Never forget to wave after you headshot a medic with uber ready Grin
5 - Engineer; I love finding tactical positions which piss off enemies
4 - Pyro; Nothing is better than killing someone with his own projectile
3 - Heavy; Be honest - everybody wants the bigger gun
2 - Scout; Flanking and getting people when they think they're safe is fun
1 - Medic; It's just awesome to see your team win because of well timed ubers or to stop someone from dying on impact. There's an abundance of tactical options for this class which make it so distinct. The best situation is when you work together with a good medic, the worst is when your buddy is horrible - people who see no priority in healing the other burning medic might as well play unreal tournament deathmatch instead of playing team fortress 2.

Hmm I never really thought about it... I used to play all classes equally (like at most 1 hour difference in playtime), but that changed since I resetted my stat. Ah let's try it anyway:

9. Demoman - definately my worst class, though it's pretty cool to play. Never invested much time in working on my skill with it, I just spam and kill lots of people... usually only switch to it to get a sentry that no one else wants to take down.
8. Pyro - Usually only play it on gravelpit if I feel like it. Fun blowing people down at the C point...

Ah screw it, except for my 3 primary classes: Heavy, Medic and Scout I like the rest pretty much the same and play them all with great pleasure.
