Running around with a sword is typically suicidal (but hilarious). I value the shield for its defensive bonuses, since I don't find the sticky strong enough. It certainly has its uses, but I'd rather stay alive.
Charge + caber on medieval map = lol. A well timed charge vs defenders camping the
@Seth McMunn: I used to be unable to rocket jump too. Even after I was told "You need to crouch and then fire your rocket", I still had trouble getting the timing down, so I kind of gave up on it. I would try a rocket jump every now and then, though, and eventually I got the hang of it.
@Seth McMunn: I'd reccoment googling Jump_beef. It's a map made solely for understanding Rocket Jumping. That and a couple YT videos and you're good to go. I went from total clueless to quite good at rocket jumping in a month by doing this.
No they exist, I'm one of them. I see people running about spamming stickies and able to detonate them when they've barely been shot out and whenever I tried the bomb had long sailed past them and blown up almost harmlessly. I just use grenades, targe and pan as a demo usually.

Josue, have you heard of this mod? http://steamed.kotaku.com/fed-up-team-fortress-2-fans-are-making-their-own-versio-1696584047?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow
I'm a bit surprised by the people saying they've had trouble using the sticky launcher, I've always found it a lot easier to use than the regular grenade launcher! (It probably has something to do with my terrible aim, I find aiming at people's feet like a soldier easier than actually shooting them)
wait... im confused... does Alek still have a sticky launcher? i dont see a shield on her...

I don't know if only happens to me, but when I click in previous from this comic, the previous one don't have the next nor the last options available. Only me ?
I may as well say this before somebody else does: at first I thought the Medic was saying "Haus" too, but eventually I found (on the TF2 wiki) that it was "Raus, Raus!" My German is terrible, but the wiki says it means "Go, go!", which makes more sense than "House, house!" ;)
@Kristian Cruz: Another class they're good against is Heavies. If a Heavy is firing his gun, he isn't moving very fast, so just shoot 3-4 stickies on the ground near him and blow them up. He probably won't be able to get out of the blast radius in time.
It took me a while to learn to use stickybombs, and even now I will only equip the stickybomb launcher in certain situations, like when I want to keep enemies off control points or take out a sentry.
Eyelander + Targe + Grenade Launcher is probably a good choice.
I usually just use sticky bombs to form choke points, protect objectives, or sticky jump if you just use 1 or 2 (WHICH IS HARD). A useful tip is just put them where enemies usually walk and wait for them with your grenade launcher in hand. A well placed sticky can change a battle.
If it's any consolation, you're not the only one who doesn't know how to use the sticky bombs. I outright hate them. Never seem to manage to hit anyone or anything with them. Demoknight FTW!
