You can't prove it isn't OP; because it is.
Nothing can be fustrating without being OP.

Or at least being a bit unbalanced.

You give up your ability to position yourself for picks, though. Once your DR is on cooldown, you either commit with no chance of escape or you're out of the fight.

It alone is not overpowered.

There are two questions to consider with the DR;

1. Should Spy have a get-out-of-jail-free card?
   
2. Is the ability to aggressively go for Ambassador headshots with little risk imbalanced?

For #1, I see no issue with it. It may be abused by shit spies, but I'm fine with Spy being able to play a flanking role viably.

#2, however, is a problem. Going for 102s should be a risky play, but it's suddenly very safe with the DR.

Why the dead body? Even when the body was twisted and shit, you could still abuse the Bombinomicon so you were assumed dead.
I'd be more convinient if you just went invisbile upon being hit, rather than the whole feigning death thing.

Not really since the nerf has made it that it only blocks 75% of incoming damage.

If you get backstabbed, you will be dead. Fully charged headshot? Not really, but you will be left with around 8hp. And you still take damage while being cloaked.

It's only useful once you got the health up high and you want to play mindgame. But if you health is below 100, you will be in trouble using it.

75%.
If you get hit by a crocket, which is about 270 dmg, you block 75% of that, which means you only take about 69 dmg.

Fully charged headshot: You take 100 dmg.

It's stupid as fuck.

Your team must be really bad then.

"aha yes they're terrible for assuming the thing they just hit with a fully-charged headshot was dead lol"

It's only op when you don't have common sense

Also, it's basically a get out of jail free card for the spy, and that's that

A winning faggot.

That's why it's op.

I wouldn't call it OP; since spy is still one of the weaker classes, it's okay for it to have stronger weapons. But the other watches should be buffed, so that we see more than just dead ringer everywhere.

So you'd say the reason it's used is because the other watches are underpowered?

It's bascially just "right click for invulnerabilty", you can use it to get out of every single situation.
A few examples: Sniper with fancy unusuals and good aim? Right click and he'll never worry you again!

Solider and Medic, who has a full kritzkrieg and laying into your team? Right click and those rockets will do jack shit!

Demoman launching pipes at your skinny, tight little spy ass <3? Right click.
Ect, ect.

I only use the DR on DeGroot Keep.
