Something that would be good for spy update.

I was browsing the steampowered forums and came upon this:

What is it? Basically, with the push of a button, you "die" but in reality, you're just spawning a ragdoll of yourself. Could possibly lower the cloak length to give a downside to it, but I liked this idea.

EDIT: The more I think about this, the worse this idea sounds.

I mean, anyone can adapt to it, if you just see a ragdoll drop, then people will still follow, in case it was an update. There are some things they can do to counter this, but overall, Im starting to not feel the same on this idea.

It looks cool. Only problem is if all 32 people have ragdolls and real people, wouldn't that stress the servers?
 
Well, I could only see it making him overpowered to people who have no idea how to deal with spies in the first place. Yeah, okay say you're chasing the spy and all of a sudden you see the body, problem is you didn't kill him, therefore no kill counter. It's a boost sure and I don't have a problem if they decide to use it, but at best it'll be effective for a short time before everyone adapts to it. It took people a while to figure out how to deal with the spy when the game first came out, this shouldn't be too different. And if anything else, I think it's a better version of the fake death pill from TFC. The only difference being that now you don't stop moving and leave yourself open to everyone who wants to shoot your corpse to make sure you're dead.
 
TFC had something like this. The spy could feign death, and appear as a dead ragdoll.
 
I dont know it seems like a cool idea but the problem is if a player is paying attention and see that the spy didnt actually die then its useless and also what would happen if you did that while on fire??
 
Wouldn't work.

  • Griefing with spies spamming ragdoll's causing server suckage.
  • People would just corpse check under normal feign death circumstances, and under spawning them, they'd just cry spy if a ragdoll drops.
  • Ragdolls generally don't stay in a server for more than a couple of seconds to avoid lag.

that would be awesome to have but it also might be too powerful. Spies might become too unbalanced

wow thats awesome for a spay but if i was a spy i would be bored just doing that and trying to kill an engineer or something but it would be very useful
