Is ambassador still viable

[John]

Title. Cause it fits my set. Also what made the old amby good and what made it bad now

[twunny phaiv]

it's mediocre now. You can still pull off some situational plays, though you'd be better off with Stock most of the time.

[Oliver #MAGA]

If you're really good with it, you might be able to make use of it. Otherwise, it'd be better to stick with stock or any other revolver that isn't the Amby.

[Hell-met]

yes.

with one click in CQC you can do the job of 2 clicks with stock.

[calembredaine]

current one has good burst up close against non-building but rof and need to aim a small hitbox can make it less reliable than stock.
old one also had the benefit of longer range cause it could 102 regardless of distance. volvo nerfed it noticeably and many felt it was too harsh.

[the fat]

everyone liked the old amby






even me

simple answer: yes.

[Keir Starmer]

The ambassador has been nerfed really badly, and there's one way to use it:
1) go right up close to the enemy (preferaby behind them so they don't see you)
2) shoot them in the head
3) enjoy your sweet, sweet 102 damage crit! Hang on...
4) realize you could have just backstabbed the person
5)cry that you bought a strange version
6)use the diamondback

Guy called C.Taunts: Amby sucks so much that nobody uses it anymore

StaryKrow: Hold my beer

If it is, it's not worth the effort needed to make it better then what the stock revolve can do. It was already difficult before to utilize the Ambassador to make it preform better then the stock revolver before the nerf.

As demonstrated by StaryKrow, this weapon is still not only viable, but 100% overpowered.

He seems go... Oh wait that's casual he's playing.

Hard to take anything seriously on a set up that's filled with people who can't kill a Pyro running in a straight line at them holding down M1 from a mile away on a regular basis that they actually call it overpowered. There's really not much credibility in that...

Foreign ambassadors are neccessary for healthy international relationships.

It doesen't really matter, it's a hitscan weapon, that travels instantly, so dodging and advanced movement have limited utility against the ambassador.

If your aim is good enough, it really doesen't matter how good the movement of your opponent is, you will consistently get headshots, just like StaryKrow does.

That's nice... Still casual though, so not really a reliable or credible source regardless. I give him props though for at least decently competing with stock at least. Though when it's just highlights of single kills, it's hard to determin if the rest of the match it was worth using it over stock as well.
