#Decoy for spy

Yet another decoy sapper replacement bc it totally is a good idea.
Do you really think this many people are so stupid that they fall for decoys??? Also stop replacing the sapper with it
That medic standing there afk totally isn't fake. Also even if the enemy fell for it how would it help? It's literally the same as if they were just fighting your team which isn't rare so you don't even need an item to cause that situation
Didn't know somebody already did it. If you take 2 seconds to think about it you might realize that is a decoy, but that's the point. It only needs to be believable so the enemy looks at that direction for a moment. I don't think is impossible that it works considering that people also falls for disguises for like 2 seconds until they realize it's a spy, but by that time they already got stabbed. It would be helpful when your team isn't there to create that distraction that you need.
"just turn around"
disguises usually fools people because people tend to actually move and act instead of being stationary afk bots
if anything that would make it more suspicious that a spy is around
if you know a "decoy weapon for spy" was added in the tf2c update you have no reason to be fooled by an afk player
it would help if when faking a class like sniper it would do a fake scope animation or for engineer have the PDA open so it's seems like he is busy.
Also it would be important to place it in a position that makes sense like in a health and ammo pack zone so it's seems like it's waiting for them to respawn or camping in a corner so it's seems like is preparing an ambush.
even in those situations real players rarely stay completely still so it still wouldnt rly fool anyone
and giving up the sapper for it is rly bad the sapper is essential for spy to not get countered by engineer
it doesnt even make much sense for it to replace the sapper since it doesnt offer any utility similar to the sapper
Sapper is reallly hard to replace
and I dunno why people insist on replacing the sapper
its always the disguise kit or sapper
2 things that are basically impossible to replace
Invis Watch is almost impossible to replace too
I decided for it to reemplace the zapper because you wouldn't be able to place a decoy inside the area of an engineer nest anyway, so you just use it when the enemy's doesn't have an engineer or when you aren't in his sentry range.
engineers are pretty common and one of ur main targets as spy tho
this makes u defenseless against engineers just for a gimmicky decoy that wont fool people very effectively, and even when it does its likely not gonna contribute much
it's not really that. engie just often impairs your gameplay since sentries oftenc over the backline of a team so they can retreat safely
so spy kinda needs to get rid of him to actually be able to use all of the available space
and if you take that away from spy he has an EXTREMELY limited area
