No

Ay buddy I'm trying not to die here fuck you

I won't defend it because it turns into a game of hide n go seek. Killing the same faggot 5 times in a row only to not get a single kill off of it is not fun

Dead ringer is fair cause the other team is spamming m1 pyros

It's pretty loud. That's it. Everything else is bullshit.

MOVE THE GEAR UP LADS

Its piss easy to tell when someone uses the deadringer but god is it annoying to kill spies snows

It's DR's main problem - it gives spy second life even if he does all he can to make sure you know it's fake. And then, by catching rocket with his face, he forces you to divert attention to him, because you can't say "well, someone ought to deal with him".

Cloak and dagger was superior for trolling and utilized much less often so people never expected it

>be spy
>never use DR
>opposing team always thinks I am and panics when they kill me

Ok.jpg

>take 3 minutes to get to the enemy back lines
>die to a pyro shooting flames at random corners before doing anything

git gud

>play like shit
>die like shit

>nerfed 1000x from it's original state

It's literally a shadow of its former OP glory

It was okay weapon before it was nerfed. Sure Saharan Spy made it even better (gotta love that near silent decloak) and any Pyro who had something resembling a brain could easily just hold M1 for like 1-2 extra seconds and fuck the Spy hard for using DR.

>defend the balanced dead ringer
why, is it still too hard to kill a DR spy noadays?

>nerfed
More like forever speedboosted faster upped spy and enjoying it.
They REALLY need to tie the speed boost with the damage resistance, so people can't take a hit and use the speed to stab people much easier.
I do it because it's effective, but it's obviously not intended

>Can't tell if a spy is using a DR or not.
>Doesn't have 5.1 surround.
>Can't hear the LOUD AF noise decloaking makes and determine it's location.

Nigger by sound alone you can
1- hear a crit.
2- hear a death scream.
3 - hear the decloak or the spy FUCKING SCREAMING.
4- determine where someone is, on the same floor as you at the very least.
Git gud.

>Burn spy, his icicle melts

There are some upsides to playing Pyro.

>he doesn't hide on top of boxes

Man spies really get shafted.

That amby nerf is uncalled for.

I have something similar

This is accurate. The moment anyone can aim starts playing sniper all fun stops dead.

>Half the team chases after the DR spy for 5 minutes
>Other half never turns around under any circumstances

>bonk scout gets past the sentry
>your teles are basically gone
>if you try and build new ones your sentry and gear goes down
>if by some miracle it doesn't a new spy or the same scout destroys your tele again

Engy should be able to reenter his tele.

I used to play on a premium server (read: server side cheats for registered people).
Dead ringer had no cooldown. You could literally just spam it while backstabbing half of the team and being near immune to damage.

Good times.

Damn I've wasted so many hours spamming voiceline inside the enemy base with this thing...

>tfw someone in the opposite team hear you and start responding, taunt and try to be friendly to force you to decloak
>He doesn't kill you when you do

why would anyone use the degreaser? on the ridiculously unlikely chance that your enemy is incompetent you can airblast them then le switch to a melee weapon and do slightly more damage for the miliseconds they are in the air?

Get out of jail free cards are in no way annoying or unbalanced and are a great way to enrich the natural flow of tf2.

You used to be able to Decloak after triggering and immediately retrigger because it recharged.

>There are still people who don't understand the DR's problem is that it's anti fun and tiresome as fuck
>uuhh..g-git gud XD

These retards receive my pity, but won't be getting any (You)'s

>they're nerfing the worst watch and making the amby luck based

Where were you when valve became dumber than spuf.

Can't have fun and play any other class when a half decent sniper is on the other team with no counter, and somehow even with my fucked up eyesight my twitch aim in TF2 is really fucking good.

I do enjoy making people rage though, and being called a hacker makes me all giddy.

Nigger even when playing sniper I can headshot the twitchy motherfuckers, hear the noise, turn back and headshot them again, and I still have my piss in a jar, normal spies give me more trouble as you can't hear the motherfuckers as easily.

This was before the nerf that turned its afterburn damage to shit. I still use it because Shotgun is the best pyro primary

You can just ignore them.

Flair is still better unless you're being pocketed.

you can't ignore a spy

Just keep shooting

Its not even that hard to tell if hes dead or not

This thread makes me wanna make SFM posters again. Maybe i'll make one about this

>That far gone age when the Saharan Spy set was still a thing
>could decloak out of DR without making a sound
Not sure if I miss or hate those times

why?
if they're close you just shoot them again. If they run away they literally don't matter and you just keep playing as normal.

Yeah you can just walk away, like if a scout runs away and your a medic do you chase him or do you ignore him.

Dr is the same thing.

And before you say he's a threat a spy with invis watch is just as much a threat if not more, but you still ignore them.

>sfm posters
>not sfm porn

Smh desu senpai

I miss it. If they readd it I think it should work if you have the Kunai for it to decloak silently.

Iw is way more useful unless you're playing gun spy and abusing the faster reload bug, dr is just there in case you end up in gold bowl or dust rush and want to play an underpowered class

Link me a naked spy model and maybe i can make a poster of him covering his cock and balls with a dead ringer senpai

Or kunai and the eternal reward. Would make the first backstabs easier to ball out of control. Shit just make it only silent if your not disguised with either knife.

Why use the invis watch when the cloak and dagger exists?

Go to sfm lab or maxof2d iirc he has it. You have to have an account for sfm lab to search for nude models.

Thanks to that literally nobody expects youre not using it. Makes other watches way more useful. Standard ftw

>shoot the dead ringer
>taunt immediately
>they try to decloak and stab you, but the taunt has finished by the time they react
>just turn around and shoot them in the face
every time

Metal packs much be more abundant. That and iw is more flexible. CD is the target watch or a team flank shutdown.

>dance
>able to look around corners
>see some one coming and immediately headshot them with the huntsman

Even though it gets laughed at, the fact razorbad even exists pisses me off. Sure, most of its users just get shot to death, but in a comp situation where the shitter is getting nursed by a crossbow, and is aware enough not to ignore calls, it becomes a sniper versus sniper match with spy ineffectual and regulated to being a c&d call guy that will at some point try and get a kill, only to die by the pyro sperging out around the medic, and you can't even be too mad, since pyro sucks just as bad as spy.

>comp situation
>sniper
>spy
wut

Are you sure this is a good idea user

...

There's little furry shit user don't worry I'll hold your hand.

In highlander sniper is the biggest pain in the ass on any map that has some breathing room. Most times you can't rush him, and if your sniper can't take him down, you're at a huge disadvantage and can't really safely apply pressure to the point.

>comp situation
>highlander
wut

got it

Oh be careful with the massive dongs, if you want to move them they're in the unknown tab so make sure you can see that shit.

>dumb nigger
>you
Oh, that explains everything

*teleports behind you*

>tfw I made shit like this when I was making hats as a kid

Just so you know, DR drops fake weapon and ammo kit. And while you can pick up weapon for thousand and one exploit, ammo kit just disappears. If you kill spy, you usually waste at least some ammo, so if your reserves get replenished, it's dead giveaway spy is dead/finally dead.

>dead ringer was fine after the first nerf
>it still gets complained about many years and many nerfs later

the concept of the weapon is just too hard for people to figure out. The thing is damn near useless compared to the invis watch but it still destroys pubs

Is it okay if I only use the Kunai with the DR

Friendly reminder that it is IMPOSSIBLE to feign a dr death when people can look at the enemy death counter in the top corner.

And on top of that they introduce fucking wall hacks on decloaking spies or hiding decloaked spied.

Fuck valve

No because the two have no synergy and basically counter eachother.

To be honest, I disabled glow effect on kart and then teammates the day it was implemented because it's fucking dumb, spies or not spies.
I also keep autoreload off because I like pressing R myself

>shoot enemy pyro
>'dies'
>no damage text or *ding* sound

They're fine together
Your eternal reward plus DR is impossible mode for spy

>pyro leaves spawn
>takes one hit from a pistol and dies

Honestly I'm more surprised people are disguising as friendlies l.

You say that but it used to be the most broken set with the fez.

>play spy for like 4 hours
>start eyeing people's backs as I'm walking up to them

ayy

That's how yoyblay sdfuy

Post them.

Cancer

Like imagine headshotting a fully ubered medic and then the heavy have him a sandwich and he revives from the dead

>kill someone and pick this gun up
>that short time frame where your shooting people, making laser sounds on mic, before dieing

the shotgun allows 6 90 damage shots and thats without a crit, flare is fun but ultimately much fucking worse than the shotgun

I like these

The DR is powerful on wide, sandboxy maps (particularly KOTH ones) with lots of side passages and roundabout places to go so you always have somewhere to duck into on fake death.

In the more linear, straight shot maps like payload maps and attack/defend you basically have to hope that the enemy team is blind and stupid to use it because you will ALWAYS alert everyone to your presence and end up spending 90% of your time recovering from a fake death as opposed to... actually doing anything. Plus the enemy team will always know you're lurking around because you typically have few options besides just brute force charging into their frontlines.

>Suijin
>DR spy
>Metal fucking everywhere, easy stabs and shots at people

I hate that fucking map, but its fun as hell to play Spy there.

Pyro update never coming is it

Flair crit from any range which is a lot more useful especially against a heavy counter, or soldiers that pull out a shotty. In close range the shot gun damage over time is outclassed by the flamethrower and the burst from flair is the same as shotty before the flamethrower is just better.

October 10th is tf2's 10th birthday, so most people are betting on that

>BZZZZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUUUPTTTTTTTTTTTTTPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Wow so hard I wonder if he's dead

>implying Valve gives a fuck
>implying TF2 team will have it ready by then
Never ever

Let me have this small hope, friend.
I need it.

but thats wrong, in highlander pyros will run shotgun because it is simply more effective and more reliable than both flares and flamethrower

And in highlandrr razor back snipers are good.

>valve introduces the wallhack on spawn
>immediately understand that I have to strategically use my disguises sparingly
>people become so reliant on the wallhacks when spawning that their situational awareness goes kaput setting up for easier hounding around enemy spawn
>meanwhile other stupid spies STILL refuse to learn and sit around cloaked and disguised in odd positions and get mad when a soldier fires a rocket at them.

Tonight's the night!
Just kidding!

Not that guy but I always use a flare gun or flare gun variant as pyro on hightower so I can fire at people trying to cap from the other side of the map.

just like in casual huh

This game would become so much better if spies, snipers, engineers and scouts were removed.

highlander is a gamemode, one of each class, each class being played to the fullest of their potentials
