@@doctorvontacos4568 the situation would end the same way, if you and a medic are doing whatever and kill a dead ringer spy, and he comes back later and kills you guys and you think that's bullshit, wouldn't the outcome literally have been the same if he just had his normal invisi-watch or cloak and dagger? He'd still end up killing you, just without him faking his death.
Yeah, but with the invis, you can't see him at all. I think it should brew reverted without a speed boost (the cloak thing isn't as bad with the stranger). And it isn't any more unfun than the diamondback (unlike the frontier justice, you can't tell when he has crits) or the kunai.
@@gamerplayer8882 The difference between the Invisiwatch, Cloak and Dagger and Dead Ringer; is two of them are high risk, high reward; and the other is just used as a reset button. That's the way they were designed. The Invisiwatch is designed for you to play hyper aggressive, as you can often decloak close to the enemy; but since you can't reliably escape if called out or ignited; you've got to play with your teams pushes; or position yourself intelligently; or you'll be called out and killed easily. The reward is being able to take out anyone if you're intelligent; and being almost impossible to catch if you're good; the downside is being easily killed if you get caught. The Cloak and Dagger is a more laid back version of the Invisiwatch; allowing for a Spy to camp out and bide his time for the moment to strike. It often leads to turtling, and wasting time; which can result in missed stabs and potential; but there is something to be said about coordinating attacks with your team to ensure it gets done right. And finally; we have the Dead Ringer; somebody see you? Right click and now you can run away and resupply. Move in for the kill; someone call you out? Now you can run away and resupply. This is all the Dead Ringer is designed to do; and all people use it for. It's an emergency retreat button; and regardless of how long you can stay alive with it; if you're constantly leaving the battle to wait for it to recharge; instead of doing your job, you're no different from a Cloak and Dagger Spy.

Nerf's quality in their blasters has decreased drastically. So drastically that they are almost getting out competed.

Truly sad stock is back to being the only thing remotely viable
man, I remember when the dead ringer blocked 90% of damage You could survive f*cking backstab with that thing! now it's just 75%, meaning you can still be killed easily
Nursik yeah, but they switched out extra ammo for slow down opponents for Natascha. It can be useful, but it's much easier to just kill them than slow them to stop them from escaping.
You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things like the dead ringer are nerfed.. Because it's all "according to the community".. If I say I'll nerf, like, the Tomislav, or the Cloak and Dagger... Nobody panics.. Because it's all "fine by the community".. But if I say I'm going to nerf the stickybomb launcher? Well then everyone loses their minds!
well you can, but since the cart is a prop. The stickies wouldn't roll out. He would have lay the cart on its side and hope to gaben that it doesn't come falling back and kills him.
Mini______ But now if they did that, they would be, and I quote, "copying Paladins because Bomb King's stickies stick to any surface + other players." Of course, it WOULDN'T be copying Paladins. But let's face it, people will say that.
+Noob Mann pyros werent underpowered they were good now they just went into the shithole. degreaser flaregun and axetinguisher nerfs killed the skill:damage output now its just charge at them with phlog and if they active crits with a soldier just use mmmph and you got about 2 seconds wasted on the uber even killing them.
Andrew Kibler First of all when did I say pyros weren't buffed in the tough break update? Degreaser didn't get a ammo nerf it got a more cost to airblast stat. The axtinguisher was one of the best pyro melees, that is if you know how to use it of course. Which you don't seem like you know how to use it to me. The 20 heath heal for every doused fire with the airblast encourages pyros to extinguish teammates (and not use the phlog too much Also, "Pyro's basically got a fucking 50% damage increase overall" It's Pyros.
Vortex Kiki The axtinguisher was shit before the change and is still shit after the change. You could never reap the critical hit reward on any competent player. the vanilla version axtinguisher was broken as shit, mostly with degreaser. but it still fell flat at high levels of play a lot. (as far as I know) That damage increase was vital for pyro. he now does respectable damage at a farther range. You had to be basically hugging a enemy as Pyro to deal deadly damage, which that alone was problematic for him as a class.
Andrew Kibler Read what I said and stop making shit up. The axtinguisher was a weapon heavily relying on skill, airblast and timing. With what I said about making shit up i never said the damage buff on the pyro was bad I only corrected your grammar.
Vortex Kiki I'm not making anything up one bit. you probably play valve servers. lol @ axtinguisher relyng on skill. that's fucking hilarious. all it relied on was enemy mistakes and/or incompetence, had not very much to do with skill. especially airblast, which is pathetically easy to use on players on top of it being a OP and broken class mechanic.
+Miklo B i told this to every freaking human on earth and they won't believe me so i need to tell you too!!! i only say bad words in comments but in real life i don't
That head blowy off part with the original dead ringer is awesome!!! Some people might not get it, and for those people, when a spy dead ringers, their head is missing from the corpse. Still dont think its fixed
Nerfing it actually does make sense with "My favorite class is the Spy," if the bazillion observations that a lot of people used it as a brainless "get out of jail free" card are at all accurate. The Spy is described in developer commentary as a class whose goal is to outsmart his enemies. That suggests Spy players are meant to be alert and using their brains; the Dead Ringer acting as a crutch for inattentive play _would_ run counter to that. That being said... I can see a crutch of _some_ sort actually being somewhat justified by the fact that the Spy's disguises have been increasingly undermined by metagame knowledge. But it should be a better-balanced one, if that can be managed.
The problem is that design is ultimately flawed and really Spy is just a good newb killer. The Spy currently is the worst class in the game easily. Once people know how he works he's very easily rendered useless or at least significantly neutered. You can't outsmart people who know every trick he has, all they need to do is turn around every so often and be aware of certain parts of the map where the Spy can drop from above or other forms of cover that he can pop out from. The Dead Ringer enabled (and still kinda does) the spy to be far more active and to take far more risks rather then sit and wait for the perfect opportunity, waste time and basically be useless until that time occurred. I mean sure against a team heavily distracted a Spy can wreck, but at that point almost any other choice would also 'wreck'. I mean look at how Spy is played in higher level highlander. He's used as recon with cloak and dagger to call out people's positions. Useful sure, but not practical in a pub game.
I remember being on Highpass with a(n advance?) Spy contract back when contracts were new, requiring me to get a certain number of backstabs or whatever. I was bad (and still am) as Spy but the (then) Dead Ringer made me more aggressive as a Spy then what I usually am (a Cloak and Dagger guy). I got more backstabs and lived longer at that time than I have ever got as a Spy ever. It was fun, not going to lie.
@@Peachrocks5 I think they should give Spy's disguise mechanic a substantial buff so that the disguises can be more convincing. I agree that the design is flawed and has been basically ruined by the game both being old and widely-discussed, and I think improving the disguises might be the best way to salvage it.
+Szilágyi Szabolcs Yeah, the weapon is actually better imo, it's much more balanced and encourages you to use it for what it was designed for. You just can't get past spawn campers any more :(
Actually, if they made the damage resistance go up to 60% to start and make it immune to crits (I'm looking at you, melee Medics, who can still do 93 damage to a DR Spy), then it would be perfect.
+Nursik It feels like low mag weapons such as rocket launchers and melee weapons crit a lot....... but i barely see a flamethrower or a minigun deal crits all the time..... the pseudo rng must have something to do with the mag size o
+ljliang11 You gain crit chance based on how much damage you've done in the past 30 seconds. Explosives do an obscene amount of damage and thus gain the chance much faster than say a minigun unless the heavy is literally right beside enemies constantly. Melee weapons have an inherent increases crit chance and the gain boosts it to like 65%. This also counts assisted damage off of say a medigun healing a damage dealer or a sentry gun, which is why medics and engies have higher crit chances.
+ljliang11 most melee weapons have like a 40% chance to crit, however guns and flamethrower are like 12, I'm not fully certain about the guns chance but melee I'm more confident about.
Vexarik Well that's what Pyro is for. Also the purpose of the Dead Ringer is to escape by fooling your enemies into thinking your dead, not cheating death. The new stats like a speed boost better fit the original purpose. It also desperately needed the stat of it being half-drained on a faked death. It use to be someone could fake death like 3 times in a row if they uncloaked right after activating it.
I agree, there are many ways other than a Dead Ringer Spy to take out a spawn camping Demoman. You could fake coming out (seriously, get a Medic to temporarily pocket you to fake them out by stepping back as soon as you're within reach of the door in which the door will open). The obvious Uber is another way. A Pyro can air blast them as well. Use a Scottish Resistance and trap the door then have someone open it; boom, problem solved. A Soldier can knock them away with a rocket. A stock Spy can follow a friendly out a different door while cloaked and reroute until they come back to the Demoman (disguised as their friendly of course) and take care of it. Hell, if you got it, you can even go Scout with Bonk! Atomic Punch, run out and kill him after the 8 seconds passes. If you can time it right, have someone open the door then hit them with a ball from a Sandman and follow up with any number of ways to kill him. I don't know how much resistance it will bring, but have one Medic overheal a Heavy and another use explosive resistance Vaccinator Uber and see if you can't get out that way. Everyone complaining that the one way they see something being useful suddenly becoming useless in their eyes just can't see the forest for the trees. Unless it is cripplingly nerfed to the point even basic functionality escapes it, nothing is ever truly 'useless', you just need to find what other ways it excels and what can replace what it used to provide for you.

momaros Diaz Plz list the nerfs, I stopped playing TF2 after the gun mettle update.
I love the demo's genuine eagerness for spy to walk into the stickies. It's great
man, I remember when the dead ringer blocked 90% of damage You could survive f*cking backstab with that thing! now it's just 75%, meaning you can still be killed easily
yeah, ironically Valve made 2015 summer the worst for every class mains.
Nursik especially heavy. When was the last time heavy got a buff? I've played for years, and not even I can remember.
Sandra Buttaci well, he got accuracy on tomislav and ressistance while spun up on Natascha and Brass Beast. He was nerfed too though.
Nursik yeah, but they switched out extra ammo for slow down opponents for Natascha. It can be useful, but it's much easier to just kill them than slow them to stop them from escaping.
imagine he needed the cloak and watch!

I actually really like the changes overall, I just think the damage resistance from the first hit needs to be a little more than 50%. Maybe 75%.
i tought same but no fire resistance and cant pick up health kits and ammo while cloaked :3
Just one thing, it should stay at 50% but immunity against crits during clock, they do normal damage, this should be ok.
+Filip Kwaśnik The fire resistance is actually pretty powerful, especially considering that valve nerfed the spycicle so badly.

That Demoman Needs To Be Banned, Reason: You Can't Put Stickies On Players.

Average Commenter no cuz then the sticky would be constantly bouncing off the player
well you can, but since the cart is a prop. The stickies wouldn't roll out. He would have lay the cart on its side and hope to gaben that it doesn't come falling back and kills him.

Valve TF2 update in a nutshell-
Buff classes that need to be nerfed (pyro)
Nerf classes that need to be buffed (Spy)
+Noob Mann pyros werent underpowered they were good now they just went into the shithole. degreaser flaregun and axetinguisher nerfs killed the skill:damage output now its just charge at them with phlog and if they active crits with a soldier just use mmmph and you got about 2 seconds wasted on the uber even killing them.
Andrew Kibler First of all when did
I say pyros weren't buffed in the tough break update? Degreaser didn't get a ammo nerf it got a more cost to airblast stat.
The axtinguisher was one of the best pyro melees, that is if you know how to use it of course. Which you don't seem like you know how to use it to me. The 20 heath heal for every doused fire with the airblast encourages pyros to extinguish teammates (and not use the phlog too much
Also, "Pyro's basically got a fucking 50% damage increase overall" It's Pyros.
Vortex Kiki The axtinguisher was shit before the change and is still shit after the change.
You could never reap the critical hit reward on any competent player.
the vanilla version axtinguisher was broken as shit, mostly with degreaser. but it still fell flat at high levels of play a lot. (as far as I know)
That damage increase was vital for pyro. he now does respectable damage at a farther range. You had to be basically hugging a enemy as Pyro to deal deadly damage, which that alone was problematic for him as a class.
Andrew Kibler Read what I said and stop making shit up. The axtinguisher was a weapon heavily relying on skill, airblast and timing. With what I said about making shit up i never said the damage buff on the pyro was bad I only corrected your grammar.
Vortex Kiki I'm not making anything up one bit. you probably play valve servers.
lol @ axtinguisher relyng on skill. that's fucking hilarious.
all it relied on was enemy mistakes and/or incompetence, had not very much to do with skill. especially airblast, which is pathetically easy to use on players on top of it being a OP and broken class mechanic.
You used to be good. Really good. Maybe even the best.
RIP Dead Ringer.

+\ currysauce / If you have low health or get backstabbed.
+GSDAkatsuki you also die from crits
+John Summerson I hope you mean the cloak, not the cloak time.
+GSDAkatsuki Wait, how did they nerf it?
Nerfing it actually does make sense with "My favorite class is the Spy," if the bazillion observations that a lot of people used it as a brainless "get out of jail free" card are at all accurate.
The Spy is described in developer commentary as a class whose goal is to outsmart his enemies. That suggests Spy players are meant to be alert and using their brains; the Dead Ringer acting as a crutch for inattentive play _would_ run counter to that.
That being said... I can see a crutch of _some_ sort actually being somewhat justified by the fact that the Spy's disguises have been increasingly undermined by metagame knowledge. But it should be a better-balanced one, if that can be managed.
The problem is that design is ultimately flawed and really Spy is just a good newb killer. The Spy currently is the worst class in the game easily. Once people know how he works he's very easily rendered useless or at least significantly neutered. You can't outsmart people who know every trick he has, all they need to do is turn around every so often and be aware of certain parts of the map where the Spy can drop from above or other forms of cover that he can pop out from. The Dead Ringer enabled (and still kinda does) the spy to be far more active and to take far more risks rather then sit and wait for the perfect opportunity, waste time and basically be useless until that time occurred. I mean sure against a team heavily distracted a Spy can wreck, but at that point almost any other choice would also 'wreck'.
I mean look at how Spy is played in higher level highlander. He's used as recon with cloak and dagger to call out people's positions. Useful sure, but not practical in a pub game.
spawn camping demos are okay, then?
I remember being on Highpass with a(n advance?) Spy contract back when contracts were new, requiring me to get a certain number of backstabs or whatever. I was bad (and still am) as Spy but the (then) Dead Ringer made me more aggressive as a Spy then what I usually am (a Cloak and Dagger guy). I got more backstabs and lived longer at that time than I have ever got as a Spy ever. It was fun, not going to lie.
@@Peachrocks5 I think they should give Spy's disguise mechanic a substantial buff so that the disguises can be more convincing. I agree that the design is flawed and has been basically ruined by the game both being old and widely-discussed, and I think improving the disguises might be the best way to salvage it.
I guess he is stuck in a sticky situation.

I just started thinking that valve is some kind of mafia
I swear you never have a flaw in the character movement
Imo it's still quiet useful, sure, it forces you to play a bit more carefully, yet the speed boost opens up new tactical options. Great video!
+Szilágyi Szabolcs Yeah, the weapon is actually better imo, it's much more balanced and encourages you to use it for what it was designed for. You just can't get past spawn campers any more :(

not anymore
Dead Ringer + Spy-cicle + Le'tranger or Diamondback
Not anymore? I find it WAY to easy to use.
NOoOByO_o nope it still works for me
Use that loadout in a map that has tons of ammo then thats op
Actually, if they made the damage resistance go up to 60% to start and make it immune to crits (I'm looking at you, melee Medics, who can still do 93 damage to a DR Spy), then it would be perfect.
I agree, crits are too often (especially rockets, pipes, stickies.)
+Nursik It feels like low mag weapons such as rocket launchers and melee weapons crit a lot....... but i barely see a flamethrower or a minigun deal crits all the time..... the pseudo rng must have something to do with the mag size o
ljliang11 yeah, but with old dead ringer i did not notice that.
+ljliang11 You gain crit chance based on how much damage you've done in the past 30 seconds. Explosives do an obscene amount of damage and thus gain the chance much faster than say a minigun unless the heavy is literally right beside enemies constantly. Melee weapons have an inherent increases crit chance and the gain boosts it to like 65%. This also counts assisted damage off of say a medigun healing a damage dealer or a sentry gun, which is why medics and engies have higher crit chances.
+ljliang11 most melee weapons have like a 40% chance to crit, however guns and flamethrower are like 12, I'm not fully certain about the guns chance but melee I'm more confident about.
"And my favorite class is the spy" Gabe
this man is certainly good at animating brutal deaths
I think the dead ringer probably needed a nerf because being able to survive 8 stickies is a bit ridiculous.
it was used to kill a spawn camping demo, idiot, and it is a useless weapon now, when it comes to those 8 sticky spawn traps
Vexarik Well that's what Pyro is for. Also the purpose of the Dead Ringer is to escape by fooling your enemies into thinking your dead, not cheating death. The new stats like a speed boost better fit the original purpose. It also desperately needed the stat of it being half-drained on a faked death. It use to be someone could fake death like 3 times in a row if they uncloaked right after activating it.
USELESS?
+Shane McCormick I like your perspective on it. You write very well.
I agree, there are many ways other than a Dead Ringer Spy to take out a spawn camping Demoman.
You could fake coming out (seriously, get a Medic to temporarily pocket you to fake them out by stepping back as soon as you're within reach of the door in which the door will open).
The obvious Uber is another way.
A Pyro can air blast them as well.
Use a Scottish Resistance and trap the door then have someone open it; boom, problem solved.
A Soldier can knock them away with a rocket.
A stock Spy can follow a friendly out a different door while cloaked and reroute until they come back to the Demoman (disguised as their friendly of course) and take care of it.
Hell, if you got it, you can even go Scout with Bonk! Atomic Punch, run out and kill him after the 8 seconds passes.
If you can time it right, have someone open the door then hit them with a ball from a Sandman and follow up with any number of ways to kill him.
I don't know how much resistance it will bring, but have one Medic overheal a Heavy and another use explosive resistance Vaccinator Uber and see if you can't get out that way.
Everyone complaining that the one way they see something being useful suddenly becoming useless in their eyes just can't see the forest for the trees. Unless it is cripplingly nerfed to the point even basic functionality escapes it, nothing is ever truly 'useless', you just need to find what other ways it excels and what can replace what it used to provide for you.

This is what happens when the dead ringer runs on Windows 1.0 XD

***** They force-update my pc to windows 10 (without me knowing it)and say stuff like "all your stuff is on the same place you left them" or something like that. Somebody told my that the update deleted some games because of "compatibility issues". Good thing I turned off the pc and it recovered all the Win7 things. I might get into Linux soon
***** it's okay if you like it, but I don't want it
