Sharpness I Medic Poll

Do it!

 

https://www.brawl.com/threads/65271/ Medic change suggestion including the sharp 1 buff for anyone interested.

 

Medic was OP, so they took away sharpness. Medic is balanced so it has to be OP again?

 

My suggestion as I have stated now billions of times is to give back sharpness one but nerf it's tankiness (which is the op part of medic, not the weapon) keeps it balanced but changes the meta slightly.

 

Medic was OP so they took away sharpness. The meta changed, so now everybody and their mother plays buffed heavy, meaning medic deals too little damage. Medic is now slightly UP. Add sharpness 1 back to make medic viable in the current meta.

 

Imo Atleast in competetive matches medic is really not effective

Its intended role is support yet when it gets targeted by buffed ninjas and heavies it is killed in seconds. So how can it fulfill its role when its being killed instantly?.?

By giving Sharpness it gives the medic a fighting chance and the ability to stay alive long enough to help support. Which is what it's suppost to do after all.

 

Everybody seems to agree it is support. Support is not meant to fight on his own. It isn't meant to do damage. Medic isn't zyra, it is soraka.

 

A lot of other classes have aspects that go outside of their main role. Archer experiences melee combat much less than a medic yet it receives not just a stronger sword but stronger armor as well. This is so that in the event that it comes into close combat it can defend itself. I don't see why the same can't be for medic

 

I don't get why people are trying to balance a class around the fact that it is targeted, it is targeted because its strong why would you make it stronger there's a good reason why it's targeted.
You have a class that can bring a player from 1 heart no steak to all of their health and all of their steak in around two/three seconds completely negating everything the defense has done to stop the cap and at that very moment that the medic gets the heal on the flag carrier the only possible way the carrier dies is by an instakill, so yeah obviously they will get targeted the other team would have to be dumb not to.
Medic is also the reason why stalemates are so terrible to play and the reason the only way anyone can recov in them is by using an instakill since the carrier can just get healed every 15 seconds which isn't enough time for the recov to damage them down so they have to resort to assassin/archer/pyro the only reason non instakill classes are used is for distraction.

(The medic changes in @Miskey s thread (https://www.brawl.com/threads/65271/) help fix most these problems a bit more but buffing medic without taking anything back would be completely insane)

 

Don't get the humour in that post

Granted everything is more cancerous with strength however medic automatically becomes the most cancerous seeing that it has 6 steak,auto regen, cc, and a large damage output . You probably don't remember but it was very easy to kill a heavy as medic even with no buffs. Why should a support class be that able to fight off a tank w a large damage output?

The problem with adding more damage to its sword is it's making it more op. It really isn't difficult to defend oneself with the current medic assuming you make use of webs and auto regen.

Never seen people request that in order to bring sharpness back

 

Medic with sharpness 1 is 6.25 damage or so.
So people are complaining about Medic having a slightly better stone sword. Makes sense.

 

Iron sword is +6 attack damage man

 

+1 I want sharpness 1!

 

52 people said yes to 9 that said no!

 

Would this even happen.

 

Oh right yeah so golden swords are 5.25 dmg then.

 

Old sharpness + gold sword is 5.25 yeah. When it gets updated to a newer version that changes,

 

i don't understand why medic needs the sharpness buff

medic is a support class, not a damage dealer. it comes w/ 6 steaks, regens on its own, and does not take fire damage. it does its job, assisting the flag carrier. it's not supposed to deal damage, that's why there are other classes to do it.

"but shadow, medic is not good at being a support! it needs that damage!" no it doesn't because of points i said above and the regeneration on medic is insane. if you don't give steak back, they will have regeneration that is quick for a long time. if you do give steak back, they get all their hearts back on only a 15 second cooldown. that is enough time for the heal to be up again come the next recovery rush. thus, stalemates.

medic is viable on offense if you choose to go that route. it's tanky enough to live a lot of hits and at least get regeneration off (which, pays off.) it can also help null the pyro's damage. almost everytime i play medic i just die to an archer, with how the class is designed is inevitable.

@Syntheteek you have got to be joking if you are telling me that medic is not viable in competitive matches. it's a good support class that, once again, has six steaks, regenerates on its own, does not take fire damage, and has a heal that can give someone their entire heal back in like a second. medic is not supposed to do damage; it's a support.

the sharpness buff isn't needed for a class like this. if you're so worried about the "meta changing", then focus on the problem that you guys think might be at hand (it seems that buffed heavy is "meta", so do something about strength maybe.) do not buff this class anymore.

 

So you say 54 people their opinion are wrong? o:

 

Their opinion isn't wrong. They can feel that way for the wrong reasons. Medic currenly has as mh noted one of, if not, the strongest ability in the game. Medics role in the game is a supportive class. Supports are not meant to do damage. Some of you are saying if you give sharpness it will be easier, or it will be able to defend itself against other classes that target it (Because it is a strong classs). Medic is still a really tanky class on top of it. Last match I played medic and I had a total of 0 issues with people fighting me and was able to get away with them or kill them everytime, because of its tankiness and it webs and regeration. Saying that a ninja needs more skill to kill a medic @Daniellll , well why wouldn't a medic need skill to kill a ninja? And for people saying that you can't stay alive and you can't cap with medic anymore, There are so many examples of people capping as medic in matches. Last week, for example, @ReubenS capped multiple times against Defiance as medic.
