I always just let the pipes roll to my target. That way not as much precision is required. Just aim short of how far the target is. Then that way your pipes won't just shoot past your target as often. In tight situations I'd shoot 3 or 4 pipes on the ground so that it covers a larger area.
They don't have enough explosion radius for that to work very well.
Just play like this guy:

At first i shot pipe's. Then i stopped playing and came back again, then i noticed that sticky bombs are way more effective 1v1. And sometimes it actually encourages players to run the fuck away.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;21736956]For the time during which I played a "Charin' 'Tard" Demoman, I actually got pretty used to using pipes, so much so that when I went back to stickies I was like "wtf do i do wit dis lol?".
Some of my better pipe kills came from getting a direct hit with the first shot, missing the second so it flies over them, pulling out the Eyelander, charge them, they run backwards right into the pipe I missed with. :v:[/QUOTE]
true.
stickies aren't the only traps you can set up, if you have proper timing, put a couple of nades on where you think your enemy will be, then charge, when they dodge they get blown up or the charge connects into their bounce
Whenever i get ubered as demo, i get so stressed out because i don't ususally rush to the enemy like i would do if i was a heavy, soldier or a spy. So i barely kill anyone, then the medic gets pissed off :crying:.
Flanking is also great. Piss off snipers because they are an easy 2 hit kill and I have very few snipers that look after the first hit.
Just practice with pipes a bit and then let your gut reactions take over. You'll be juggling people pretty quickly.
Also don't forget to use your own stickies to control the movement of your enemies so you know where they're going to be so you can plant a pipe there.
Just finished a game of Badlands using only the grenade launcher. After a couple of rounds of practice, along with aim a bit to the left when I was aiming at enemies, hitting them came as almost second nature. I guess practicing airshots as a soldier helps aim with demo too. :buddy:
I only use demo to defend points and the cart. Therefore I have no reason to use the grenades unless they're either fleeing or managed to dodge the stickies.

You rush the enemy as a spy?
[QUOTE=MRTW113;21787719]You rush the enemy as a spy?[/QUOTE]
Yep. Cloak, rush, get behind, uncloak, stab.
I just get into cover and hold mouse1 and it works.

Not what rushing means.
He's drunk and has one eye, I don't think I'd be too good at aiming either.

No wonder the pipes go off to the side.
I use the pipebomb launcher a lot more than the sticky launcher. Its pretty use to use, you just have to spam them everywhere.
I got a triple kill defensively shooting around a corner. v:saddowns:v
Most of mine are luck or point blank.
I would love it if Valve fixed pipe bombs so they'd fly straight foward.
In any case, Dr. Nick is correct. The easiest way to use the grenade launcher well is aim a little to the left.
I just got from playing demoman, in the end of the game I was 50 points ahead of the second best player. Most dominations I had in that game was 5.
Demoman isn't fair.
