22:20 my take on the amputator: makes you actually have self healing and, when you have a guarranteed pocket, other melees are more lackluster. However if you dont have a pocket it might be not worth using it because your pocket wont kill anyone making you and him die and making your escape impossible, in this situation its almost always better to do sporadic ubers which makes the ubersaw a little better because you can get a little more uber on random spies.
