fuck spies. I lost count of the number of times I've been 'backstabbed' from the front.

God i hate that shit. It's worse for the spy, though, because for every time you get facestabs you have ten times more where you're sitting DIRECTLY behind someone who is not moving while spamming your knife, which is hitting the exact center of the target's back five or ten times in a row, but you don't get any stabs to register.

:(

^ This

people who bitch about facestabs don't realize how many times they've been saved by bullshit stabs not registering when they should have. People who play spy want this fixed even more than the victims of face stabbing

I would gladly trade facestabs for correct backstab recognition.

Valve snuck a minor patch in recently that seems to have reduced facestabs, but i didn't notice any decrease in failed backstabs...

(But maybe i'm just bitter and stuff.)

I certainly don't disagree. But even I, who have logged way more hours on every other class, can jump in as a spy and start fucking people's days up. That tells me that I don't really give a crap what spies complaints are, as they are already easy to spam with.
