Please, can we remove Spys all together from Degroot Keep? They are annoying as all fuck, just wading into Melee combat and scoring lucky as fuck side/face stabs. Nothing is worse on Degroot Keep than a single Spy on the final point, just standing there in the corner and scoring 3 or 4 lucky insta-killing face stabs in a row. Or better yet, having 4 of the damn Red Spys all trying to do Jump Stabs right in front of the Blue Spawn. Please, let's just do away with them on Degroot Keep.
I see where you're coming from, but it's just like sniper on orange. They're annoying as fuck (e.g. coming out of spawn and getting sniped/bodyshotted to 20hp) but it can be great fun playing as them. I am a no on this.
Degroot Keep is not the same as orange. Not really fair to compare them like for like. I'd support removal of spies. I know how annoying they are. If your comparing with orange... spies on degroot is much more of a pain than snipers.
That. If Spies are removed from #6 (thank you Eskimo), then snipers (the weapon, not the class) should be removed from #7 as well. ... Yeah, if you go through with this, just remove knives and snipers, not the whole class. I'm neutral on the issue though.
Remove knives- so then what can the poor spy use. Well... it can't use anything. Its degroot keep. Which brings me back to my previous point you can't compare degroot to orange, degroot is a separate game mode.
People were complaining about backstabs, and therefore, they wanted to remove the Spy, on #6. Then it was brought up that, if so, snipers should also be removed, from #7. It's the same idea. Why can't / shouldn't we compare these two? Again, I'm neutral.
i agree with cactus on this one, spies on degroot are pretty similar to snipers on orange. both are at an unfair advantage as snipers on orange have pretty much an open field to shoot across to the opposite team, whilst you have allmost no chance to even hit them. Spies on degroot have an entire map where pretty much no one has ranged weapons thus having everyone forced to come close, 1 swift movement and voila.. backstab. my 3 idea's for this would be: 1. Deal with it. 2. Limit them to a certain amount (so that for example, only 1 or 2 players on both team can play that specific class) 3. Remove them from play i'd rather not see the 3rd option to be implemented into the servers as i think it wouldn't be fair to the people who have been complaining for a good long time to remove snipers from orange, with the reaction to that being: No, Deal with it.
leaving the only option that has been given countless of times to people asking for the snipers on orange to be removed.
