I wouldn't go as far as to say it makes them meaningless, I mean they'll still instantly rumble you if they lick a flame over you when disguised (although I guess if this thing is automatic then everyone will be able to do that) also if you've been set on fire as a spy your health is so low you're kinda fecked anyway most of the time.. However I suppose it might still be worth taking if it showed flames but didn't shimmer for other damage as you suggest. The thing is that it'll really depend on how useful the cloak option is outside of the feigning death bit.. I mean if you can't use that 8 seconds potential cloak independently of feigning death then you're giving up SOOOO much for that that feigning death would really need to work massively effectively when called into play. As spy, no ability to cloak means you can't get in behind the enemy.. which means you can't do anything useful.. which manes an evasion tool like the ability to feign death is totally redundant.. so yeah, we need to see how it works in practice I guess

Here's a thought, what if while disguised as a friendly class you will create a ragdoll of that class, that could be his way to the back. |

Yeah that might work, although ideally it'd really have to be triggerable by the player themselves, while the description on the update page said it would be automatic when you take damage... I mean if you're in a situation where you're actively trying to take a small amount of damage... that seems like a potentially frustrating gameplay mechanism to me

if for some reason a sniper hits you.. and it isn't a fully charged shot or a headshot..and he's silly enough to assume that that spy won't come to hunt him down soon.. might be useful  I was thinking it more of a smoke bomb style thing, your cover is blown, you're hit and the cloak gives you a tiny chance to escape. |

Agreeing with Tom and Agrippa, I thought about using it that way too. This cloaking device is a must try in my list. |

3 of each sounds fair since it already happens a lot even without the update.
