Is Stabby over rated?
- Thread starter Mario445
- Start date
As someone who worshiped Stabby during my early days as a spymary, I'm a little bias. However, I stand by my "no" vote, because the skill cap for spy is low, among other things, relative to the other classes. I kneel before your spying prowess, SPYderman, but I disagree with the thought that Stabby is overrated. Any competent spy can pubstomp all day long, but knowing uber timings, respawn times, and pick timings and accomplishing said picks is a difficult task, especially with how amazing the high-level players are. Stabby is a great spy, not because he can top-frag, but because he has intuition; because he knows when and where to be to be the greatest help to his team at all times.

There is a lot better than Stabby who aren't acknowledged. (I do not count myself one of them, I'm not a spy so I'm not even remotely comparing myself.)
If you watch him play live he is a decent player at best, people know him for his frag videos. You give me a player who averages a .4 or so KD/R and I could make him look as good as stabby in a frag video.

Stabby's actually very nice, I've played like 3 lobbies with him and he said hi to everyone who said hi to him, etc. Not like any other youtube celebrity that ignores the fuck out of you. When we were playing badwater in lobbies some faggot kept joining spy and i was keep on kicking him because stabby was there, then he said thank you :)
Sentence 1. There most certainly are, but the theme of these "Is X overrated?" threads pertains to youtubers and those who put out content. Of the spys who put out, stabby is regarded as the best (unless someone can provide other evidence!).
Sentence 2. They are more about advice. If you listen to what he has to say/read the annotations, it's always about how he accomplishes what he does. It's not just a bunch of frags put to "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor". Frag videos are for pomp and show, while stabbyvids are for improving your spy gameplay.
Sentence 3. This is irrelevant. It can be said for any class, and you could replace "stabby" with anyone who's ever starred in a frag video.
The question was not "Who is the best spy who puts out content" the question was "Do you think he's overrated?" From what I've seen of him livestream, I feel that he is - this is my opinion.
I'm not saying he's terrible, I'm just saying he isn't worthy of all the universal acknowledgements he's the best spy.
