Your team is being spawncamped by almost the entire enemy team. What do you play to fix this? ("Just build uber" requires two people, so it's not an answer.)

demoknight main? Can you tell me, how does it feel to be hard countered by everything in the game except vanilla demoman?

Hard countered? Definitely not.

how come?

It's absolutely amazing, because I have a built-in handicap to justify tryharding lmao. It's not my fault pyros forget M2 exists.

I mean, communication tends to help most problems. Finding one other player to help you push out while you build uber isn't unreasonable.
But if we must restrict ourselves to 1 player strats, it'll depend on who is blocking you in. If you got demos trapping you, then you're probably gonna need Short Circuit or Airblast to get you out. If its heavies, then probably demoman. If the heavy is standing further away from the door, fully charging a sniper headshot before taking a single step out of spawn could work. It will depend on what map and what opponents you're fighting.
If you can deadringer out, you can cause some problems at the objective to hopefully draw players away from your spawn and relieve some pressure for your team.

i'm just gonna whine in chat about it and keep running straight out as sniper and die

"Being spawncamped by almost the entire enemy team" requires more than two people on the enemy team to be spawncamping you, so rejecting "build uber" as an answer because it requires two people isn't exactly fair. There's no realistic way to fight off "almost the entire enemy team" alone, whether at your spawn or anywhere else. You have to work with your team, so pick something from the list that your teammates aren't already doing.
- Don't hold the door open.
- Build uber.
- Be ready as an appropriate class to receive an uber.
- Spam the Short Circuit.
- Spam airblast.
- Spam Jarate. You may not even have to open the door to hit them.
- As Spy, consider the Dead Ringer. Target enemy Engineers, in particular teleporters, or create a distraction by trying to backcap. If it isn't working, change class.
- As Scout, use Bonk and target teleporters. If it isn't working, change class.
- If you're one of three or more of the same class, change class.
- If you're one of two or more Scouts, Snipers, or Spies, change class. You can change back once you've pushed back the spawncampers.

just go wasd+space+m1 pyro, only spawncamp that doesnt work with are sentry ones otherwise its a 100% reliable method

The problem is, that requires an actual teamwork
-42
If the whole enemy team is working together and yours is not, then you lose. It's in TF2's core design, that's how the game is supposed to work.

I don’t think you really need that much teamwork to spawncamp the enemy team in pubs tho, unless you mean permanently spawncamp for the whole game, all you need is 1 to 3 good soldier and demo players...

It takes teamwork to make spawncamping last for a while, assuming individual skill levels of both teams are about the same. You can spawncamp as demo alone for about 15 seconds at the end of the match to let your team push the cart through the last segment of the map, sure. But if you try to rely on this tactic throughout the whole match, there are plenty of ways the enemy team can respond to that.
If a couple of players can trap a whole team in spawn, then it's more of a problem with people's skill levels being vastly different, where the two spawncamping players are simply way too good for the other team to compete with them.

So does spawncamping with your team.

"How can I fight the entire enemy team all by myself without working with even a single other person?"
Good luck when you find that answer

"Just build uber" requires two people, so it's not an answer.
what?
you just need to go medic and heal people as they get damaged at spawn. sit next to resuply locker to not die.
build uber, and uber the next heavy/pyro/soldier/demo that respawns
tl;dr - skill issue
41
Or sometimes map issue if the spawn is horrible cough Wutville

Wutville was never real
6
Build uber.
It's TEAM fortress not solo fortress.
38
The only thing you could realistically do by yourself is to use air blast and short circuit
30
Dead ringer out and go contest objectives
15
I quit and requeue.
21
Convice everyone to go heavy or caberknight

Checkmate atheists!

Stock uber and hope no idiot opens the door before i’m charged
6
Kill them.

shit you got the red team on that

Airblast baby, and a little afterburn never hurts
5
I try stuff. Beggar’s Soldier. Phlog Pyro.
ACTUALLY GOING MEDIC.
Forced Dead Ringer Spy going for their Teleporter. Demoman with quickiebombs. Maybe more
4
Find Match
3
Convince as many people to go heavy, use the vaccinator, convince some people to go medic (not even build uber)
3
If their whole team is spawncamping, then odds are my whole team is stuck in spawn as well - in which case, build an uber! I'll happily switch to medic for that situation.
That, or they're not defending their objectives, in which case sneaking out with something like bonk or dead ringer to cause a distraction would suffice.

Spam airblast or the engi energy ball

Spawning is automatic.

you just discovered the joke!

Huntsman sniper and praying
If it's a heavy with a medic I go classic
dont forget the piss dispenser
I go with the Classic just in general.
It's my favorite Sniper Rifle.
