as you mentioned the scout vs demolisher matchup, i recognized the demolisher pretty well counteres the scout. thats so funny because the scout can detect mines, and therefore should counter the demolisher in some way early on. the opposite is the case. why?
the scout has very few HP, so he cant compete with a demolisher early on. if he bought a hull, he can effort the same weapons as the demo, but has weaker skills. however, he is faster than the demo, but that will only let you retreat in time, avoiding a death, but missing some creepgold/experience.
no skill of the demolisher is targeted (until ultimate), making defensive systems useless against him. he can skill whatever he wants vs scout, everything is strong (although mines can be detected, but they restrict the scouts movement quite a lot).
this is particularly surprising as many people still consider the scout as too strong while thinking the demolisher was nerfed too much last version.
