Dead Ringer
Feign death is an interesting effect, but a good Spy can use it extremely frequently making it frustrating to play against and reducing the risk of using it nearly constantly
Goal: Rather than make it less interesting, let's make it more predictable to fight against by removing methods by which Spies can reduce its cool-down. This should create more of a rhythm to fighting against a Spy using this and introduce a little more risk to player using it.
Changes:
Ammo kits and dispensers no longer refill the Spy's cloak meter

The only way to refill the Spy`s cloak meter is by letting it regain normally. You cannot refill it faster from dispensers and ammo kits ( you can`t refill at all ) However im not sure if that`s the same case with the resupply locker

DR Nerf is that you can only get cloak back from natural regen. No more using your instant "Get Out of Jail Free" card every 2 seconds. Now spies will have to actually put forth some effort into a fight and sneak like a Spy is meant to instead of charging in, missing 18 shots with Amby, then spamming DR to escape the 20 times they would've died. Oh, and then trying to trickstab a Scout and finally dying.
