I wish it were more fun to play medic, given your only source of entertainment is dodging rockets and watching your patient's life go up. That's why nobody plays him.
Also, if your team is really shitty, medics don't help (people just let them die, run away from the healing, etc)
[QUOTE=t man;27472760]No, they shouldn't, as Medic most definitely has enough survivability as it is
If you keep dieing then it's because you and your team mates are doing something wrong, not because Medic is too weak[/QUOTE]
I always get killed by Medics using the Blutsager within a few seconds, either at ridiculous ranges or point-blank because I was shooting them with my fucking shotgun.
When I use it, the needles go everywhere but at the enemy and the health sapped does not at all make up for the health lost fighting someone with it.
I think the game hates me.
Crossbow needs a 2 or 3 (Maybe more) round clip and it should be fine.
"The Crusader's Crossbow is just silly. It's weak, the reload takes too long,"
I agree heaps
It took me a while to get the stuff to craft it, and I was disappointed when I did.
The crossbow is fun, no doubt about it, but it just can't compare to the needlegun, even when paired with the amputator.
Unfortunately, the amputator just can't compare to the Vita-saw, my melee weapon of choice.
I don't see why everyone thinks the Amputator is great, the healing is small and useless.

The Ubersaw is the only true upgrade.
[QUOTE=acfan;27472442]Valve really needs to realize that the medic is basically wet-tissue paper in terms of survivability and give him [b]something.[/b][/QUOTE]
he's meant to have shit survivability. this is why medic takes a lot of skill to be good with, because you have to know where and when is safe to expose yourself, how to preserve your uber and how to organise your team.
[QUOTE=TheFacePuncher1;27465558]Isn't it illegal to have 5 of the same class?[/QUOTE]
oh yes, i picked 5th soldier the other day and the FBI broke down my door. now i'm typing this in prison.
I love using the Crusader's crossbow. I think it's extremely OP, but fun.
Crusader's Crossbow is for snipers that are being forced to play another class under threat of death. That lil' bugger is a pain to aim right.

I do throw the sandvich, but I always miss somehow :saddowns:

either that or they dont notice it. some medics are just plain stupid

assists man, assists
if the crossbow had a semi auto setting where it'd shoot one arrow, then another, like a repeating crossbow. Deals less damage on hit with enemy, but heals players.. I think that'd make it a lot better. Each heal would count towards 10% of your uber, maybe as well... or 5%..
No one plays medic in pubs because a shitty team with a medic isn't much better off than a shitty team with one additional offensive class.
[QUOTE=TacoMuffin;27472184]the spy is pretty hard to play too now. the role of the spy is to take out enemies while remaining undetected, to it isnt meant to be good at face to face combat, but with so many anti-spy weapons and [highlight]MOTHERFUCKING PYROS[/highlight] its hard as hell[/QUOTE]
I've found playing spy to be the exact opposite of this for some reason.
Been absolutely owning as him lately.

I can't wait to heal the cart pushers -
WHO IS PUSHING CART
NOBODY IS PUSHING CART
EVER
If the Crossbow and the Amputator added to your Uber percentage (or at least the Crossbow), it'd be a bit more viable option.
[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;27421969]If the teammates at close range, why not use the Medigun?
[/QUOTE]
Because if you can aim, using the crossbow to heal can be faster than healing with the medigun. According to the official wiki, at point blank you can heal at 32.6 hp/s, and with the medigun.. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL7Tzq168Bs[/url]
But yeah, I agree with everything else you said :3
I love playing medic. BUT people don't protect the medic, they think it's a moving dispenser. Being a good one is actually hard, and most medics suck.

i just find it hard to avoid pyros is all. sometimes i kill them with ambassador headshots, but then i cant cloak because im on fire and the rest of the team comes after me anyway.
more medic playtime for me
[editline]17th January 2011[/editline]
and i owned with the ubersaw before jamming with my violin saw practically made everyone on the cart invulnerable
All this hubub about the crossbow.
Like everyone else, it has its flaws, but I personally use it because I aim better with it than with the needlegun. Also, using it with the amputator, the +1 hp a second really helps.
The problem with the Amputator is that there is no downside.
Sure, you don't get Uber for hitting enemies, but, honestly, how many people actually succeed with Ubersaw? It's an expert's weapon.
It's a sidegrade difference, not a downside.
