Why isn't anyone using the Diamondback?!

[Fiddle0131]

It's arguably Spy's best revolver since it gives you crits from doing things a spy should be doing in the first place (Like the Frontier Justice) so you'd think that every single spy main would be using it right?
Nope
Instead of the Diamondback you always see The Ambassador or the L'entranger or even the Stock Revolver!
So tell me TF2 community
WHY DOES NOBODY USE THE MOST OP WEAPON IN SPY'S ARSENAL??

I use it on rare occasions. Hell, I even picked up a strange one.

I generally stick to the Stock Revolver or the Le'Tranger though. I guess I have a little pride..

or more likely, I know it's eventually going to be changed or nerfed into the ground like most of spy's unlocks I guess...

[Cheggf]

Le L'Etranger is better, that's why.

Edit: Fixed the to le, my bad.

[joku]

Fun Fact of the day: The L’Etranger exists

[Vlad the Impala]

People do use it, just that either people don't know how dumb it is or they just don't want to ruin the game for others.

[Shedding my mortal skin]

I prefer the Enforcer because I'm a stubborn excuse of a human being.

Without shortening you basically just said le le etranger

[Joe Papa]

Its objectively the best Spy revolver. I rarely use it myself as it is a guilty pleasure. I am a primary Letranger user. But no, EVERYBODY USES IT

[fromgdog]

Erhh, yeah I don't see it that often either. Either people run stock or the L'Etranger. It's personally my main revolver because I see no reason not to use it.

I do run the other revolvers occasionally of course.

[bolos]

because the drop system never drops it lmao.

That's exactly the reason. You see, spy's revolver demands precise aim, its not like a shotgun or flamethrower where you can aim in someone's general direction and get a hit. You backstab a bunch, you sap a bunch, and then when you finally pull out that revolver....you miss all your crit shots and die.

The revolver is easier to hit than the shotgun and flame thrower. You can be further away and don't have to care about spread or projectile time.

Because I die too much as Spy and even more when I have crits.
