Mmm I don’t recall seeing many russians. A few too israelis for my liking (kidding), but they’re like a thousand times less annoying!

Only people I don’t like there is bm. Ban him and the channel will live again.

I’d play pickups more if people just called stuff there, but since kaidus hangs around in there it is doomed! Give kaidus a permanent medic spot and it’ll go just fine, he’s a pro medic and can lead any squad to defeat!

On a serious note: Raise the demands for communication on there (hard to check but still) and let the summer pass.

Yeah, most people who have played at a fair level of competitive should be aware of general medicing points. Actually, I spent a bit of time playing other classes which helped me as a medic understand the game even better. Having played other classes is a bonus, not a burden to being a medic.

Only way you’ll get any better at it is to play it a few more times ;)

Well, As a medic (given a low medic, but still, playing med at low is harder anyway :) ) could I give my 2 cents here? Yes, thank you.

Playing medic in pickups is horrible. Simply because you have too many people doing what they THINK they are supposed to do. In pickup2, it still applys, say for example you have a div 1 demo and a div 3 solly on your team on badlands. As im sure most of you would expect my natural thing to do is heal the demo so he can jump before we are able to move, then heal the sollys when he gets out of range. Well, today, this particular Demo is feeling lazy so can’t be bothered doing the jump so ive just wasted time. On the other hand, this Div 3 solly has neat little tactic that his team does of him jumping instead, so he does that. So lets say that solly ends up going onto mid without being fully healed and gets killed. Im now being bashed for it being my fault.

Infact, it was no ones fault. We all did what we would naturally do in a PCW or Match, just I as the med am being shouted at for it. This constant bashing of medics is the reason why:
1) Nobody wants to play medic in pickups
2) Nobody wants to play medic in mixes
3) Nobody wants to play medic in general

Personally I am fine with iExpo and stick to PCW’s with iExpo or mixes with mostly iExpo players.

But really, If you want us medics to play for you, don’t fucking shout at us for not healing you when there was absolutely no way we could have done so anyway. Contray to popular belief:

1) The medi gun does not go through walls
2) The medi gun does not go round corners (i know it seems to but it really dosen’t)
3) I cannot heal 4 people at the same time. If you need an overheal to sticky jumpy and the solly has < 100 HP, my priority 90% of the time is the solly.
4) We have the needle gun/blutsauger for a reason, if we need to use it as self defence then we will; so please don't bitch at us for if we need to.

/Rage end

Sorry, got a little bit of a rant, but ye, hopefully some of you will take something from it. :)

thanks for the 1-3, really sharing my feelings. <3 :D
about the other sentence, i'd change that priority a bit. Just keep the solly with you, you should get enough cover so he wont die anyway.
Otherwise the team's just bad. like really bad.

Aye, Im meaning more for example pushing a point or say, going to mid on granary via the left door (which was the example i had in mind).

do not lie.

ups

Personally,I hate playing medic.
The reason behind this is that you don’t have a chance to fight back yourself (well, rarely your fighting skills are needed anyways). And the whole enemy team see you as their primary target, which, generally speaking, will make you die a lot. Trust me on that one.

Additionally, some people like to take their rage outside of their team, and bring it into the pickup instead. Which makes the most stressful class even more stressful if this somehow makes sense.
