Spy Update Speculation

[Thereven]

If or when they finally update the spy, what would make an awesome alt weapon to you?

 

[Vandall]

A weapon which kills all trigger happy pyros. Forever.

I put my three ideas in the poll, feel free to vote on whichever you like.

Timed Explosives sounds overpowered for me (if it would be click-to-assplode). Throwing knives would be sweet.

Nah, a 10 second timer with beeping that everyone can hear is what I'm envisioning. Sort of like the detpacks from ye olde TF but not as big an explosion.

None of those ideas are very good, tbqh.

I don't want any updates, really. Spy's just about as balanced as he'll get. Good spies are awesome, bad spies are teh sux. That's how it'll always be.

 

[Rellik]

actually all those sound cool Raven, of coarse they would have to have some type of nurf, or they'd be over powerful (especially the stunner)

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

I dont like the idea of a spy stunning, the whole purpose of a spy is to get in and out...stunning the enemy imo would be of no use. We already have a class for bomb type weapons, dont need another. Throwing knives....its ok, but i dont think it would insta kill anyone..it should be a replacement for the gun imo. What the spy needs imo is a better sapper, at the moment its way to easy to knock off. Would love the ability to walk through the enemy or a cloak stab, LOL that would be way to OP. Nothing we think of or that valve comes out with will be balanced and everyone, and trust me everyone will be complaining about what ever weapon they come out with.

 

[!Woodstock!]

Throwing knives all the way.

I think they sound disable the sounds spys make when they kill someone. also i like the sapper idea except instead of lowing up it could just sap any engie stuff in the near by area.

 

[MIB2]

thingy that makes pyros fire-based weapons malfunction and burn the owner TO DEATH. doesnt need to be used, is used as a passive ability.

 

[westside]

i guess throwing knives would be possible

but i doubt any of those 3 are what they come up with

 

[Lance]

As mentioned, that'll probably be the most complained about update when it comes.

Personally, I'm thinking silenced pistol, but I'm not sure exactly how it would work. Obvious thing would be allowing cloaked shooting, but it'd be way hard to balance. Only idea to make that work would be to make a big flash or something. Just an idea anyway

 

[Frazar]

I think they will just turn it into a Night Elf rogue...

All of those are overpower, imo, and I love playing spy.
