Engineering problems on Badwater Basin

This is about playing BLU engineer (attacking) on Badwater Basin.

Ever since the new spy upgrade I'm having mayor trouble playing engineer when we are capping the last point and our spawn has moved up. A spy just hangs out around the new spawn sapping every teleporter I build and backstabbing random easy targets running to the battlefield. It's useless to chase him because he will just cloak and run of to one of the many hiding places around. The spy upgrade did make the engineers job harder but on most maps I can cope, at that last point however I usually just change to another class because it's useless trying to build anything usefull there.

So my question is, does anyone have any tips on how to handle the situation? I was thinking the new spy upgrade was a bit OP at some point but I quickly realised it was only at that spot because of the abundance of hiding places and ways to flee for the spy.

You're not going to like the answer, Tekar.

The answer is communication, as my friend Buick would mention.

If a spy is harrassing you at spawn, or anywhere, you need to say that over the mic, or over the chat.  Just simply say a spy is harrassing you badly, and making your job ineffective.

I think you'd be surprised by how many people will start spy checking and help you set up your posts.

Other than that, a good Spy will usually be able to get behind enemy lines and disrupt you no matter what.  Sorry.

Yeah but that won't help because that will just have half the team run around the spawn looking for invisible spies and not pushing the cart. Sometimes you will get him but generally it's just not worth trying to kill him.

Then, you didn't need an answer to your question.

This is the game.

Piss the Spy off by sitting next to your teleporter, killing him as he saps it. A level 3 teleporter takes 15+ seconds to be sapped, plenty of time to deny him points. Once a Spy gets pissed, he wont play spy anymore.
