Alright, so I'm gonna be straight here. I do not like to spy changes at all. A few years back I was a platinum spy main and loved the class, played him non-stop and quickly raked in 3K hours. I love TF2, even though I don't play it much anymore, I still think it is an amazing game.

But I hate the DR changes and well and the Ambassador changes. The YER ones I don't mind too much, though I do think it isn't the correct way to handle things. First off, the Dead Ringer. This watch has been controversial for years, and it has gotten many nerfs. The Dead Ringer is a watch that I feel people miss the point of. The DR isn't mean't to be some crutch or get-out-of-jail-free card, it is mean't to enable spy, the weakest class in the game stat-wise, a more aggressive up front play-style. Rather than spy being the opportunist waiting on distractions to make his move, he was the distraction, and used the feign-death mechanic to confuse opponents. Spy has 125 health and a relatively immobile kit, the move speed increased helped that, but still retained his identity as the sneaky glass cannon. The DR was the way for spy to stop being a pussy and come out of the shadows, and while both play-styles equally as fun, sneaky spy get's fucked by anyone with 3 brain-cells worth of awareness, especially if they are playing pyro. The DR gave the spy some counter play to classes like soldier, scout, and pyro, while weakening his power against other classes because of the loud decloak. It made his counters more manageable, while making his targets more likely to outplay him. It was a good system, and while frustrating to play against, it isn't like a DR spy is hard to find after feigning.

The new changes make spy less aggressive in his approaches, by removing the cloak recharge from ammo and dispensers, the DR is just a louder and shittier Invis Watch. Faking a death that is easily understood to be a feign by most semi-competent players is not strong enough to make up for the lack of proper recharging. I get that a spy feigning and decloaking and grabbing a pack and feigning once again is frustrating and taunting to play against, but for a short cloak time and loud decloak with a predictable feign, it is the least the spy could have to try and escape any dangerous class to him. If spy is going to be the worst class in the game because sniper does literally everything better with less effort, than give the damn poor sap some interesting play styles. In short the DR changes break the DR's identity, just making spy a less interesting and fun class.

The Ambassador isn't actually too big of a deal, but I'm not a fan of taking one of the hardest weapons in the game to use that rewards skillful play and accuracy, and making it more RNG based. I know that getting cross map sniped by some skinny french man is hella annoying, I hate it when it happens to me, but without a scope, that's isn't exactly the easiest thing to do. ESPECIALLY in TF2 where everyone should be moving at all times. If you are standing still in TF2 and a class other than Sniper and Heavy, you are playing the game wrong.

Sorry this wall of text, I just don't like seeing the worst class who I love despite his weaknesses, get nerfed for no real understandable reason. I thank you for reading this, I hope you agree with me in some way, if not then whatever, that's life.
