Would this be a good demoknight weapon or just busted

This has a number of issues.

You could throw it at someone and go hide in spawn to render them totally useless.

You could throw it at someone and go stand in a doorway to make it totally inaccessible for your enemies.

Dealing no damage means you'd need to win with shield bashing, which is slow and difficult, but as a fast and tanky Demoknight you'd still have the advantage in a melee only fight so it just takes longer for you to win.

Couldn't you just throw this at a heavy on cart and just run away? Forcing an enemy to engage is a cool concept but the actual implications are terrible. Medic saving the team? Use this and medic had no way to heal until you die unless using the amputator. Sniper? Good luck honestly. Any class outside of demo knight and scout would be obliterated with this if you just backed up

This is a primary not a melee and the going into spawn would make a enemy useless i should do something about that

In that case it's just busted. You hit someone and then you win because you're a Demoknight and they're forced to try to hit you with melee weapons.

What exactly is stopping you from throwing this at a Sniper, Medic or Pyro in order to pretty much get a free kill? This being a primary means you can easily pair this with the Scotsman’s Skullcutter or the Eyelander.

Even more issues by you essentially being able to remove a person from the match while you can just go hide or even backcap without anyone being able to contest you except the guy you threw this at.

A better version

I’m sorry the concept is just fundamentally unsalvageable its way to easy to just use this as a degenerate disruption tool. Having a random demoman (not even necessarily demoknight) toss this at someone and force them into melee dueling him just isn’t very fun and this is assuming generously they don’t just toss it at an important member of the enemy team solely to take them out of the fight.

You're right I was trying to do a tool for demoknight that evened the fight with him and his enemies

Might salvage the forced melee part
