I like the direction they're taking with the demoknight. All the talk of increased radius and world touch kind of flies over my head, I'll have to try it in game.

 

The new shotgun is also interesting.

They sort of re-added the demoman nerf, only with radius instead of damage. Interesting.

You can sticky snipe for around 85 damage... Needs to be fixed or expect a lot of dead medics. Also 2 seconds for a radius isn't much. But it way more fair then the last demo nerf.
