There's be plenty of scenarios here on TPG where a Spy has literally won the game for his team. Even in comp the Spy is used as a sort of roll of the dice, you take a little risk and reap a reward, pretty much what the Spy was designed to be.

Here's some examples

No other class is this enjoyable, not by a long shot.

Is that you, or did you just copy a stranger's post?

I am Polycount on SPUF

Also, can we stay on topic those of you debating about spy/scout? This is not the thread for that... opinions are susceptible to bias, neither of you are right and neither of you are wrong.

Fair enough. I had to ask... sorry if it seemed I was doubting you. Well written post!

Pocket Scout? Interesting. Of course that assumes you can get the scouts attention for long enough to explain the concept. Actually a kritz scout can be pretty deadly in the right situations. They are harder to headshot than say a heavy. They also can chase down light up players after the kritz is over. With their lower health points they are less likely to steal the med pack since they will max out quicker. Final point, I was always under the impression that both the scout and spy were supposed to be annoying....

Haha, fine fine, I'll refrain from trolling Wats any further on this thread. You party pooper.

On the actual topic of pocket scouts: even if that Uber was released it wouldn't particularly matter to me as a scout. There are plenty of more competent classes when it comes to pocketing medics. There's a reason I spend most of my scout time as far away from my team as possible, I'm hunting medics or pissing off the enemy team by flanking, or if it's absolutely necessary I defend my team's medic against enemy scouts. However like I've already said soldiers and heavies are more than good enough to pocket medics without a scout's help.

I don't see that Uber get many results anyway unless it somehow prevented headshots. Without invulnerability that medic is prime hunt for snipers.
