Does that make it balanced?
I guess it depends on what kind of game it is
not in 1v1 games
in team games where both sides have access to him, sure

if there is a clear style of play that counters him sure. I feel like they shouldn't be too strong though, maybe %10 or so?
No, Demoman is not balanced.
>>383249323
among newbies, maybe. Among anybody with skill, no.
Once you get to the higher skill level everybody is forced to choose that because everybody is skillful enough to play that character and can't afford to lose the advantage of playing them.
To a lesser extent, look at Terran in Brood War. Harder to play well than the other races, but once you reach a certain skill level they're a powerhouse that every other race has to play around because they can't take head on. The entire design of maps had to be rebalanced because of how good they are.

So Fox from Melee?
It still doesn't make it balanced unless the people you are playing against don't know how to exploit the characters they're using.

You need hella skill for some characters anon. Hardly anyone is good at Mishima's, even the ones good at Mishima's.
