Hello everyone !
I dont if this will be interesting but I wanted to know your thoughts about Trickstabs and I will share also my opinion about them as a spy "main" that can half trickstab people.
I think trickstabs are based on skills and also because Valve can't fix their game.
About the skill part of trickstab :
You have to know the basics about how to stab and the stab hitboxe to manage to pull off trickstabs. F2P cant trickstabs and they need to know the basics : The matador, StairStab, Circle Strafing etc...
You need also good movement predicton to manage to trickstab people.
And then you will be able to get far more difficult stabs like surf stab and do incredible spy frags montage.
So not everyone can trickstab. Even with NEARLY 300 hours on spy, I dont trickstab often people and I often die (Maybe cuz Im bad).
About TF2 mechanics :
You know that moment when you are getting facestab but, on your screen, he was in front of you ?
This is the part of trickstabs which is relying on bad hitboxes and bad lag compensation of the game. Facestabs and trickstabs in general are working because the back hitboxe is at 180° and not totally behind you. Thats why matador are working. Spies rely on the fact that if you turn your head 2mm away from them to get reickstabs.
Even if you are a god at tracking people, you can get trickstab due to the server not registering fast enough your movements.
Theses are my opinions about trickstabs.
I would like to know your thoughts about trickstabs too.
And especially, I would like to hear your answers if you think what I have said is wrong.
