Un-nerf the demoman

The Issue

Demoman Changes

Damage variance on grenades and stickybombs reduced from +/-10% damage to +/-2%.
Grenades and Stickybombs now have the same base blast radius as rockets. Changed from 159Hu to 146Hu.
Grenade Launcher

Direct hit grenades now deal full damage to target regardless of where it struck the enemy. Previously full damage would only occur when grenades exploded closer to the target's feet.
Stickybomb Launcher

Stickybombs that detonate in the air now have a radius ramp up, starting at 85% at base arm time (0.8s) going back to 100% over 2 seconds. Stickybombs that touch the world will have full radius.
Stickybombs now have a more visible trail while traveling through the air
Stickybombs arm particle is slightly more visible
Loose Cannon

Double donk explosive damage now deal full radius damage to victims. Previously double donk explosive damage was reduced by radius distance from the explosion.
Removed a hidden penalty where Cannonballs that touched the world would deal 50% less damage in addition to regular grenade damage reduction on world touch.
Loch-n-Load

Changes to base grenade damage variance now ensure the Loch-n-Load does not exceed 124 damage on a single hit
Removed +25% self-damage penalty
Added -25% radius penalty
Changed clipsize penality to -25% (3 grenades per clip) from -50% (2 grenades per clip)
Loch-n-load grenades no longer visually tumble when fired
Bootlegger / Ali Baba's Wee Booties

Added +25% Demoman Charge meter on charge kill
Tide Turner

Added Penalty: Taking damage while shield charging reduces remaining charging time
Kills while charging now only add 75% meter on charge kills instead of 100%
