Team Fortress 2: 15 Stupidest Additions So Far

The spy is a sneaky, stealth-heavy class who is most useful turning invisible and moving past enemy lines, then disguising himself so that he blends in with the enemy team, lulling them into a false sense of security then delivering a killing blow with a stab in the back. Subtlety is key with a class like the Spy. 

Unless you’re using the Dead Ringer, in which case all stealth goes out the window and you end up throwing yourself into enemy fire like a complete idiot, dropping a fake dead body, raising the enemy teams suspicion, who will eventually track you down and kill you. That is the chief tactic behind the Dead Ringer. Instead of the watch making you invisible right away, you have to wait until you get hit by something, then it drops a fake dead body (supposedly to fool the enemy who just hit you) and turns you invisible for about six and a half seconds.

The cheaper tactic was to immediately get hit, then power on through the enemy team, taking hits as you went, because for whatever reason the Dead Ringer could grant armoured-van levels of bullet resistance to players when they’re invisible. Stealth? What’s that?

Thankfully it has since been patched to take away the tank-like abilities the weapon once granted the user. Now they HAVE to be sneaky!
