Spy-cicle vs stock knife...

[Pixole]

I think the spy-cicle is a direct upgrade because it protects you from pyros.

I know what you are thinking...if you get hit by one puff of flame you lose your knife for 15 seconds. But if you are an aware spy who actually check your surroundings and not hold out your knife the whole time, it's literally stock knife except better.

Wow man, amazing discovery.

Spycicle is insurance from pyros with the risk of losing potential backstabs because your knife was destroyed

Turning people into gold > turning people into ice, so stock.

I actually prefer the stock knife over the spycycle... The ice status give you away since it's the only weapon in the game that does it. The sound turning into an ice status is also very distinctive and easy to point out. But I've lost valuable picks on important enemies like medics about to uber push for a win because of the no knife mechanic when you lose the weapon due to fire hitting you more times then I can count. In those situations I'd had rather died and gotten that pick instead of surviving...

Good pyro's will also destroy you regardless of having that weapon or not as well.

In most cases it´s a stock upgrade, but not worth using if enemy Pyros are newbies that can get trickstabbed, the idea is to survive them if they´re skilled.
but in a bad spot (or maybe a good one to encourage Spychecking more often to your teammates) you add unnecessary paranoia in your team since the ice statues aren´t recognizable of which team they were are

Spycicle's worse than stock. It's loud, the ice statues are plain obvious, and it removes your melee if a Pyro so much as breathes on you (might as well use the DR for similar results).

Without any enemy Pyros it's pretty much redundant if not a downgrade since it gives away your position. Even with enemy Pyros, it's a poor crutch because you lose your OHK gimmick to counter/avoid the class with a measly 80DPS.
