Idea Medic's way of healing

I want to do a short poll, since people are very annoyed with the fact that the far majority of medics won't heal their teammates, I came up with two ways to fix this issue.

- #1) The xp-bar on medic slowly decreases when the medic doesn't heal, when empty the medic dies instantly.

-#2) People are now healed by hitting the medic

Vote and comment your thoughts!

(P.S. don't comment if you're a weirdo who thinks medics shouldn't heal people!)

 

No, because it isn't.

Your answer on 1 is a logical fallacy. You should explain how exactly it's stupid. Option 1 provides the right kick on the ass for medics since they are to do their job: healing. If they don't do their jobs they get fired (by death in this case).

Option 2 still contains the old way of healing.

 

Ofcourse, I see many people being annoyed for the fact that many medics won't heal their teammates. This poll is towards those people. I'll give you an answer in my reply to Plautius below.

To answer 1, I think there is always someone around to heal, but I prefer 2 as well, 1 was just an alternative that came in mind. As for medic capping, medic should do their role which is support. Capping medics provides the same chaos as cod has with camping sprayers and close range snipers...

It technically isn't really a buff, because it would provide the same conclusion as when all medics actually would heal their teammates.

^ with this back to you @PanDaniel_ , I heard you main medic, with that in mind you should notice the importance of healing! Since option 2 provides the same conclusion as that the large majority of medics actually would heal their teammates you have no reason to be against it. Unless you are one of those people who think medics shouldn't heal their teammates, the people I asked not to reply at this thread...

 

I'm not talking about a rework (atleast, not yet). Tutorials and stuff is irrelevant, although pop-up messages to explain the class when selected could be an option. About the alts, the far majority of players don't have an alt. And again, medics can still heal by hitting players. This does improve teamwork, because the medic and another guy have to stay close to each other in combat. Now I agree that medic's sword-hit healing should stay dominant I suggest that only the sword-heal restores items.

 

No "but", especially since you ignored my last answer. Also, medics don't "forget" to heal people, they are either confused, afk or are trolling. Also, your flagrecovery example proves nothing, since the recoverers can also hit their own medics, so that will stay balanced. In theory, every medic should heal whenever they can, this provides just that extra to reach that goal.

If you aren't interested in healing medics, then please stop replying on my thread. Thank you.

 

Well duh! Ofcourse I'm not saying a class should only have one goal only, BUT it should have a main goal! As for giving Daniel a break, he is just here to troll. he, socool, sporty and some others always oppose my threads no matter what. And don't give me opinion nonsense, because I clearly explained how this is not OP, but instead makes medic reach the standard it was intended to have. Yet strawmans keep coming... Also, I asked people who think medics shouldn't heal not to comment as stated in the P.S.

 

ATTENTION, ATTENTION! if you don't want medics to heal, then don't comment! If you do want them to heal, there is no reason to be against option 2!

 

I'm not thinking about myself. I'm a mage, if I want healing I'll just cast heal spell. I already explained the point you made. Recoverers could also hit their own medics to speed up their recovery, so that will stay balanced. Also, when medic was created, it was intended to heal teammates whenever possible.
