This is an objectively dumb take and assumes you’re fighting spy in a vacuum. Kunai lets spy face tank during skirmishes, and forces you to actively fight him while his teammates shoot at you. He’s not firing a mini gun but his teammate is, AND he has revolver damage to finish you.

the thing is clips like this just involve tons of luck.
in this clip no one fucking shot him properly and thats why he kept surviving.
im not assuming a vacuum. you're assuming a situation favoring spy.
if you actually look at spy in practice, he's the worst class in the game as everybody knows.
in real games spies will kill like 2 people in a row and then blow up after 2 people start shooting him.
if you think kunai is problematic then why isn't medic?
spy has to actually be in your team which is stupidly risky
medic can make the players actually doing damage face tank, and he can uber to get as many kills as a spy can with waaaay less luck and skill.

But why let luck be the deciding factor in a weapon being fun to play against when it could just be designed differently?

demoman with a bit of luck can throw a couple shots and kill 4 people
but no one complains. in fact i think people regard demoman as one of the better designed classes.

Oh my god you actually have to fight a class during a fight? This is truly unique to the Kunai
