AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Remember, someone spent $100 to make that joke.

Is it just me, or does the TF2 Wiki look really weird?

If it's Dead Ringer+Spycicle and both activate at once yeah, since at that point most all the Pyro can do is guess the Spy's vicinity and hope he hears the "poof" sound effect. If it's the Dead Ringer by itself you're probably better off hoping you've got a good head start on the Pyro and/or some friendlies show up to distract him.

why is it pubs always have an excessive amount of engineers and heavies

i just want to practice my sniping and that is difficult if i also want to win

Sniper is what the kids play because sniping is cool and fun and they vastly overestimate their twitch aiming skills.
Spies get to backstab and be invisible, who cares if it takes tens of hours to be able to play the class properly.

I haven't actually launched the game since March, my knife hand's a bit itchy.

I honestly stopped caring about getting headshots once I realized that dropping 50-80 damage, and covering your target in minicrits, was a far better way to kill people. I COULD wait for that headshot to charge up and kill five heavies, or I could cover twenty heavies in piss in less time and if I really wanted, start taking them out because now my shots do more damage without any charge at all.

edit: also jarate'd targets tend to stop whatever they're doing anyways because they know they'll be taking all the damage so there's the nice psychological effect there also

Or you could continually hit uncharged headshots and do insanely high DPS. But yeah jarate is pretty good unit.

Sniper and Spy are so popular because sick MLG instant-kills.

yeah but for my skill level it would take much longer to go for the headshot
piss sniping just seems better not so much for dealing damage myself, but letting my whole team deal damage to THEIR whole team

Ah you're using the Sydney Sleeper? Yeah that's an insanely good weapon.

generally i either go for the full sydney set, or the sleeper-jarate-bushwacka if i think there's gonna be few snipers on the other team

I'm really starting to fucking lose it with people who tell me to change from Spy and Sniper in MVM, seriously, fuck them.

This so much, especially spy. The wierdest thing is people consider the spy to be very good in MvM with his sapper and his insane dps on giants.

About the sniper though, most pub snipers I see tend to be terrible, so people generally don't trust snipers. But by far I have seen the medic the least, like no one ever mentions him.

If your MvM team has a Heavy, Demo, Medic, and Pyro, do whatever the hell you want.

if they don't have all of those (especially medic) then you should rightfully feel bad picking anything else

if your team doesn't have an engineer you are doing something very wrong
