Fuck the people who use this crutch
>>738948630Just turn around bro you stupid
>>738948630skill issue
>>738948630wrong pic
High level Spy gameplay is just abusing exploits to get backstabs on people that you aren't actually behind.
ill play this again when they remove the sniper and the demoknight
just shoot him lol
>>738949060>shoot him at point blank multiple times while calling out his location to teammates>he tanks 2 meatshots and stabs some retard that lacks ears so he's at 210 health againit's just insufferable to fight because for some reason he gets a higher max overheal than spy normally can get. that and he gets more health than the weapon stats indicate, he should only gain the amount of health his victim had.
>>738948698>turn around>backstabbed from the faceokay what now
>>738948630how is it a crutch? you die in one hit. you need skill to survive with this weapon.
>>738950415the only skill you need is the ability to identify who is new or doesn't have audio and then hold W towards them.for most of the time that you are actually interacting with enemies, you will have 200+ health
>>738950771it caps at 210. it's not that bad.
>>738948630It's only bad when it's plus dead ringer, then you have the most insufferable fucker in existence
First and only time with the Kunai I got a quad and destroyed an engie. What a rush
>>738950828that's out of 2-shot range of almost every single weapon in the game (barring crits) and the heal to 210 is instant when he reaches another personbreaking damage thresholds is why items like the battalion's backup and overheal in general is such a strong mechanic since exchanging blows with an equally skilled opponent will always have the healthier player winning just by surviving for longer. the medibeam is slow to heal during combat though so overheal cannot bruteforce all combat encounters, the importance of controlling space around healthpacks and the crusader's crossbow's existence are high because they are immediate heals, but they're limited by the class's max health.Kunai ignores both of these restrictions and that's why it's annoying. The amount of time it takes to shoot him 3 times is very long, and that's assuming you're up his ass to deal max damage. It's more than long enough to reach another back unless some pyro decides to dedicate his life and ammo to babysitting the local short bus population.
>least-played class is spy>pick spy>get 25 kills and 10 death>was using stock knife btwHow'd I do?
>>7389486305 more months until scream fortress bros
>revolver does 60 damage at point-blank and only takes 1.5 seconds to deal 180 damage and kill most classes>every spy player when caught by any class starts dancing side-to-side with their knife and counting on an epic trickstab instead of just tapping them three timesWhen will they learn? If I play Spy myself, encounter an enemy Spy, and start shooting, they often just cloak and try to run away. As if a lone Spy is too threatening for a lone Spy to take out. Is this what being French does to you?
>>738948630Kunai spy is only a "problem" in a 12v12 where half the team he's fighting are incompetent idiots who don't understand how spy works. It can feel unfair when he kills your fresh installs and is rewarded with health, but I can almost guarantee you that you would STILL lose in those situations if he was instead playing a damage class. Sometimes you are just on the losing team, and that's fine. There's only so much you can do as an individual player in a 12v12.
>>738950317Mirroring spycucks movement always works, it will almost 100% fuck them up and give you a window to kill them or make them retreat.
>>738949030>be within 1 foot of spy as pyro>"back"stabbed
>>738952041What's great is when they're very obviously holding their dead ringer out and you 1-tap them with the enforcer because it pierces their resists.eat shit.
>>738951825and you're proving you've never played the game.
>>738950317Didn’t happen
>>738948630Unironically a weapon for the mentally disabled. Pairing it with the dead ringer lets a spy do the most absolutely retarded plays and completely ignore the intended class design of spy. That design being actually playing like a sneaky bitch and tricking people just long enough to get the one or two important picks, before cloaking and getting the fuck out of there. The way spy is balanced as well gets ruined. As when he gets caught he SHOULD be dead 9 times out of 10 unless the spy player themselves can do some crazy evasion and trickstabs to get out of the situation. The kunai just completely removes the aspect of "being sneaky" as a spy.With the kunai its>Stab clueless f2p>Get 200+ hp>Get spotted by clueless f2p's team>Tank all their attacks with boosted hp/dead ringer>Stab another clueless f2p>repeatI'm not even exaggerating I have seen games MANY time over the years now, where that exact scenario occurs. Kunai ringer dipshit stabs a gibus sniper trying to smg people. Then gets chased by 4-6 players TRYING to put out enough damage to get through his boosted hp and dead ringer damage resistance, before he stabs some other clueless tard and continues on playing as the ultimate raid boss. It's fucked.I'm also a spy main so I'm not even trying to shit on spy as a class. The best loadout for true spy gameplay IMO is L'etranger, default knife, cloak and dagger. Seeing some other spy play like a fucking retard and walking at the enemy team like it's nothing pains me. That shit is not how spy is supposed to be played. I really hope the supposed MvM update this summer includes some sort of minor balance changes even if it's not the main focus of that update. This shit has been a blight on the game for years now.
>>738952041revolver isnt very accurate. knife if you already failstabbed is quicker to kill generally than switching plus facestab.
>>738954805>L'etranger, default knife, cloak and daggerlol wut? who needs this shit with free ammo cloak now? default cloak is best (even with the gay fucking 120db decloak valve aidsniggered in with dr and forgot about)
>>738948630mad cuz bad
>>738948630I have 3.5k hours and I respect kunai spies. It's an artform
>>738948630Random crits are fair and balanced
most spy mains are using scripts to cheat
>>738948630I hate catching some kunai nigger and watching him slip away because of the boosted health. It's even worse if they're using the dead ringer on top of it.
>join lobby>enemy team is getting their shit rocked>play spy, disguise myself as heavy, and hide near their entrance, waiting for an easy kill>medic runs out and spots me>"UBERCHARGE IS READY">bout to prank this idiot>the rest of his team comes out, gathering around me to push the cart>decide to waste medic uber and healing in a shitty push>end up pushing cart to point, waving my gun around like im actually doing fucking anything>enemy team captures point despite not having an uber, or an actual tank, or a healer.>in too deep>keep pushing and steamroll my own team, leading the enemy to victory.I don't care if spy is good, his design enables a lot of silly shit and retardation to happen.
>>738957576man it would be really funny if this was real
>>738951962ok now play on a server without newbs or bots
>>738948630The big earner is the spies best knife, it makes chain stabbing very easy and can destroy enemy pushes
>>738958815*hits u with 1 (one) pipe/rocket*heh...nothing personelle...kid...
