    Hello, At the moment (assuming the player knows what he is doing) medic is a great class not to strong not to weak, and can heal other players great!. My problem is most of the time medics don't know what there doing at all... They just run around throwing webs randomly . It can be extremely annoying if you have the flag and are standing directly in front of a medic and then just watch the medic walk through you and do something else (usually pick a fight with a heavy and get killed. I have suggested making it possible just to punch a medic twice to be healed but that might be overpowered but it would get the job done. I just think there needs to be a better way to get healed and items restored. I'm not saying every medic is like this but for me it seems like most of them are. Another Idea is making engineers re generators work like they use to by restoring all of your items when you eat the cake unlike just giving you some regeneration. Please comment your ideas I'd like to read them.

    I don't think there is anything that can be done about incompetent or clueless medics. The only thing I can think of would be class tips. When you type /medic something pops up in your chat that says "Hit your allies to heal them and again to restore their items!" or something along those lines. This could be implemented for all classes. For example, when you go soldier it could say "Right click on walls using your sword to wall climb!".

    What I would do for the days when medics would actually heal you.

    Agree completely. Furthermore, we do need an actual CTF tutorial.

    I think that's a stellar idea. Hopefully, we can get a lobby and tutorial before CTF is out of Beta.

    @graycows That defeats the purpose of using teamwork. A medic could just stand afk in the flagroom or at mid. Sure, it's annoying, but devising a change in gameplay for clueless teammates isn't something that should be done for any gamemode.

    Yeah, There needs to be something done though in my opinion a tutorial would help but some players would just run around being stupid with web... There should be a reason for medics to want to heal players a goal or something. I don't know what that would be though because if they got any improvement on armor/sword strength it could quickly become a mobile dwarf. which no one wants. maybe web should respawn after healing players... i'm sure theirs a way to make it so the game can tell whether the medic is just camping and healing full health players. maybe it would only work if they heal players under a certain amount of HP or steak. Another problem with medic is its boring (for me) its not really the best for going right out and pvping obviously it is needed to get around pyros but if theres a few ninjas as well medic is pretty much useless for capturing. So if there was something some kind of advantage medic could get by healing players (without just camping at spawn healing people) to attract more people to the class that could help get more better medics. (sorry for the length of this)

    I agree with this, it's a good idea!
    Making medics punchable can make the flag carrier insanely op, as they don't even have to wait to be healed, they can do it themselves.

    Class tips are a good idea, but there are also medics who will knowingly not heal you. Like, you can stare them down as if they were afk, and even standing right in front of them, they won't heal you, just give you a look and then run off to get killed. What might be an even better fix than a tip is a tweak to the class. If medics had an incentive to heal you, they might do it more often. My suggestion would be that the medic gets some kind of buff upon healing someone and restoring their items. It could be speed, resistance, absorption, etc., but as long as the medic gets something out of it, noobs are more likely to catch on and take the time to heal their allies.

    Also, player outlines? c:

    I like this idea. If Medics that usually play to PVP are given the opportunity to get a buff, I think they will strive to get said buff. I also think that if Medics were to get an effect , the effect would be short enough to encourage consistent healing. This is just my opinion though.

    Definitely. If it was too long, it'd also be more likely to be unbalanced.
