I hate playing Medic
[QUOTE=Brobattington;49167454]I hate playing Medic[/QUOTE] I don't hate playing medic because of the class itself I hate playing medic because of other people's stupid expectations
I play Medic way too much, I only do it because I'm the only guy who ever seems to do so on pubs, and in a way it's nice to know that I'm helping make other's experience better, but yeah, some people get a bit TOO confortable with the fact that they have someone on the server who's pretty much only there to make sure they don't die. Dirty job, but someone's gotta do it, ect. You know, slightly unrelated, but if more people in Pub actually realized the dispenser heals people then they probably wouldn't be so clingy with their Medics, whenever I set my dispenser up someplace as Engineer half the time they completely ignore it and run up to take a Health Pack, and it's even worse when they pick up my ammo Crate even though they can just get free infinte ammo from my dispenser and not have to gimp me. Playing Medic is really fun if you do it with a friend or on a actually capable team, otherwise just don't bother.
[QUOTE=BluesLS;49166274]You don't pocket them, yes. But as far as overheals go, they should be among the top priorities EDIT: Unless you mean Rocket Jumper + whatever ones, then yes, those are pretty much useless[/QUOTE] clearly rocket jumper dudes. they're pretty much traded their main source of damage for a gimmick that 80% can't even use properly, and as a result they resort to use medics a healing diaper. besides, who or how the fuck do you even pocket a rocket jumper. using the quickfix will often put you away from the team and instead get yourself killed.

Thought you meant Gunboats-using Sollies at first, who jump around like they're on crack and suicide bomb at the first opportunity they can get. Those are annoying to follow and heal as well, because the moment you put your Medi Beam on them they suddenly disappear into thin air, leaving you alone with whoever was surrounding you at that moment. (Doesn't help that I'm [i]that[/i] Soldier as well, because I can't aim with hitscans and have the self-preservation instincts of a lemming)
Why are you using quickplay over the server browser?
why not
[QUOTE=Snowshoe;49169563]why not[/QUOTE] Because it fucking sucks in every imaginable way?
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;49169571]Because it fucking sucks in every imaginable way?[/QUOTE] No?
[QUOTE=Snowshoe;49169582]No?[/QUOTE] I guess it may vary but I experienced nothing but pain (and errors) trying to use the Quickplay. Server browser is faster and more reliable.

[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;49169646]I guess it may vary but I experienced nothing but pain (and errors) trying to use the Quickplay. Server browser is faster and more reliable.[/QUOTE] Server Browser is suddenly reliable now? All I see when I use that thing is Saxton Hale and Mario Kart servers.
And trade servers
Gonna drop a fucking pro tip of the year for you guys then: put "valve" into tags under search specification.
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;49169761]Gonna drop a fucking pro tip of the year for you guys then: put "valve" into tags under search specification.[/QUOTE] If I'm searching valve servers, can't I just use Quickplay?
[QUOTE=Milanpsmp;49169770]If I'm searching valve servers, can't I just use Quickplay?[/QUOTE] Sure I guess, it's a personal choice. Also let me rephrase what I said: Server browser is faster and more reliable [I]if you decide to put that naturally obtained brain of yours into a use.[/I] But I guess that's too much to ask some people nowadays.
The Server browser is also great if you like playing on server located on the other side of the globe. [img]http://jesusfuck.me/di/OHEH/no.png[/img]
[QUOTE=Oizen;49169822]The Server browser is also great if you like playing on server located across the globe. [img]http://jesusfuck.me/di/OHEH/no.png[/img][/QUOTE] So server browser does to you what quick play does to me. I actually don't know anymore. Fucking speechless.
Server browser is clunky shit. Quick refresh is confusing, location field is meaningless, Simplified list barely works, tag searching is strict and unreliable. That said, it's good for community servers and keeping favorites/history. Honestly, it sounds like you aren't using that brain of yours to realize Quickplay has its strengths and weaknesses. It's perfect for Valve servers for example, and automatically searches for low ping populated servers with easy gamemode filtering. You don't have to deal with a wall of dropdown and text fields, which no one wants to do and thank god at least the server browser remembers your settings (most of the time).

I'm coming from days of HL2 DM where server browser was all there was to it and even with some minor knowledge of how to use it, I find it hundred times more flexible than Quickplay ever could be. And besides that, it never works for me. If I use Quickplay, I get message saying no servers match my criteria or I'm dumped into US servers, if I click show servers, upon attempting to join one I get error more often than not. [editline]23rd November 2015[/editline] I guess whatever floats your boat and Quickplay for me is an iceberg.
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;49169761]Gonna drop a fucking pro tip of the year for you guys then: put "valve" into tags under search specification.[/QUOTE] Too bad several trade servers and shit put valve in their tags.
[QUOTE=Anderan;49169896]Too bad several trade servers and shit put valve in their tags.[/QUOTE] Ok, fine, use Quickplay, if that is such a god damn problem to you, I don't care.
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;49169834]So server browser does to you what quick play does to me. I actually don't know anymore. Fucking speechless.[/QUOTE] How about we just agree that they're both awful.
Melee only pink painted anger wearing darwins training wheels melee crits snipers killing me when I'm dodging and weaving fucking everything as Scout. Then, he has the fucking audacity to taunt.
as a scout you shouldnt die to melee tho
I really hate bleed weapons. It's basically a crutch for people who can't aim melees for shit
[QUOTE=ShimTaco;49170448]I really hate bleed weapons. It's basically a crutch for people who can't aim melees for shit[/QUOTE] shiv deals half the damage but with crit can bleed out a spy with full health, it's designed exactly for keeping spies busy
iirc the boston basher doesn't make you bleed if you "hit" something and somehow do no damage.
[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;49170472]shiv deals half the damage but with crit can bleed out a spy with full health, it's designed exactly for keeping spies busy[/QUOTE] If my math doesn't suck (it does), if you get crit by shiv while cloaked and keep cloaked until the bleed's gone, you take only 108dmg. Remember that you get 20% damage reduction and -20% status effect duration when cloaked. [editline]23rd November 2015[/editline] Getting crit then cloaking does kill you anyway, though. [editline]23rd November 2015[/editline] Actually nevermind, I don't really know how strong the status effect reduction is.
server browser is great when you're aware official servers aren't an option. if you're in the US/EU(or any other place with actual support) where there's plenty of valve servers to enjoy, sure, it just works. otherwise, its pure garbage and there is no reason to use it.
