It makes for a very fun defensive Spy. I just jump around, ambush approaching people, if an ambush fails I DR away. And I seem to make more kills with my Revolver than my Knife when I use DR.

It works well enough that I managed to top the 2Fort leaderboard for a few minutes, although I was quickly surpassed by a Demoman afterward. But still, lol.
 
You should be making kills with your revolver anyway.

DR isn't very useful, but it's piss annoying.

If you learn how to use it (as its style is very much different from what spys are used to) than its easily the better choice than the C&D
 
I prefer the DR than to the spies that use the CD. I always see spies just sitting and watching and I'm like.. um why aren't they doing anything. Then the only get one backstab and die.

a lot of times with the C&D you have to sit and wait for the cloak to charge, but it also makes it good if they have a mic and just want to sit over in the enemy base and relay valuable info back to their teammates.
 
Galkafisher is the best spy ever. When he uses the dead ringer he is nearly invincible
 
When I spy and I pop DR I always forget to re-disguise. :<. I usually die soon after though. So it's O.K!
 
yeah ive gotten very used to the DR and often top the point charts.
 
DR isn't all its cracked up to be. I've gotten used to it so taking down spies that use it are that hard anymore it's just super annoying.
 
Dead ringer can be deverstating if used correctly, especially when you disguise as an ally with it. I find it to be far more useful than the C&D.
 
The DR is quite deadly on defense. Heavy/medic teams fall easily when you're in your own territory.

What annoys me about the DR are the spies that use it to spam intel out of a base. They get 2-3 swipes at it per life, and if there are 2-3 spies on the other team, there's almost nothing you can do to stop them from making advances with the intel. The best counter for it is for your team to do the same. I've never cared for games in which a strategy can only be countered by the same strategy.
 
I didnt like the DR before the patch, but now the DR is almost as good as the CD. Im just as agressive with the CD than with the DR, I dont really sit and wait...unless im stalking an engi waiting for the right time to strike.

QFT

I hate spies who sit around camping with no specific purpose in mind.

The DR would be the best cloak watch if not for the VERY loud sound telling everyone in the range of a sniper rifle that the spy has decloaked.

The C&D is alright on defense, especially if the spy using it is relaying info back to the team

In most cases, I stick with my standard watch
 
I have used DR for about 10 minutes total because I don't like the idea of losing 500 hlx points per life :(.
 
HLStatsX does not count your fake deaths with the Dead Ringer as kills. It only gives the guy who tried to kill you some points, but you don't lose any.

I guess it's a way of screwing with the system, lol.
