I have an idea to improve the Spy's disguises. So we all agree the disguises are pretty ineffective most of the time since everyone in the enemy team can notice that moron moving around without shooting anyone, right? Now what if...
The disguised spy is allowed to shoot fake ammunition?
Now here's how it works. By pressing the middle mouse button, the spy will attack (regular left-click attack) with whatever weapon his disguise is holding. The attack will be seen by everyone in the spy's enemy team. But it will deal no damage if it hits anyone either team. Explosive projectiles will create explosions, but those will also deal no damage. The attacks won't be able to push anyone, either.
The attack will also be invisible to the spy's ally team, in order not to confuse them. The one you want to confuse is the enemy team.
That could also be extended to melee weapons. In this case the name "fake ammunition" wouldn't apply, but it's the same principle, a fake attack.
So the point is: instead of running around disguised without shooting, the spy can stand in the middle of the battlefield, shoot some fake projectiles and pretend he is attacking his team, while he is actually waiting for a window to backstab a nearby enemy. Or shoot fake fire from a flamethrower to protect an engineer when he actually wants to kill the engineer. The possibilities are endless.
Of course, eventually good players will learn to expect this and will spycheck people regardless if they are shooting anyone. Still, it's a bonus if the spy can create more paranoia get his enemies to spend more time spychecking.
So, what do you think? Good idea? Terrible idea? Needs to be balanced in some way? That isn't meant to be an unlock, more like a straight buff to the spy which I think he needs a lot, though theoretically it could be made an unlock if we gave it a proper downside.
