The Engineer shouldn't get anything that would give him an advantage over the Spy.

If Valve should give the Engineer an item that makes him better against a certain class, it should be something geared against Demomen.

should get anything geared against Demomen.

so what you're basically saying he shouldn't get something against that class but he should get something against this class

uhhhh

yeah

because the Spy vs Engineer is pretty much the most balanced class match-up in the game. Your only excuse to losing to a Spy one-on-one is because he was more competent than you were.

The Demoman, on the other hand, can singlehandedly crush a set-up by spamming grenades over a wall and without any room for the Engineer to fight back.

But still he should get something against uberchaged Medic because that is the biggest threat to all Engineers

Well, this depends on the uber
for the most part, a sentry can outgun an uber if you stay back and heal it. The knockback should be enough to prevent a full-on rush.
provided, that is, that you're not around a corner and a Pyro can burn you and your sentry up without your sentry picking up the Pyro.

If it's an ubered demo, you're screwed either way.
