Idea Medic Feature

So if a web gets thrown out and it hits a teammate, does it still appear?, and what about spamming webs on a teammate who has the flag so he can't get hit by the enemy and gets healed at the same time? Wouldn't this be very annoying and overpowered?

 

Although giving medic a new feature would be fun and interesting, I’m against this particular idea. A good medic and carrier/teammate duo can manage to move with each other, if the medic for example gets knocked back, then their teammate will come with them to help fight whilst also get heals. There is a way of moving with each other which is why it isn’t necessary to give medic a long range healing ability. Moreover, this lessens the impact of a team purposely staggering a medic, ensuring that they are knocked away so that they can’t give heals to their teammate, as the snowballs completely combat it. Overall, I’m not for the idea, it just seems unnecessary and a little over powered given certain situations. Apologies if this is incoherent gibberish, I am very tired, however I hope I got my point across.

 

I am entirely uncreative so I have no alternative. xD

 

I feel as though this is a good idea and would be super helpful, but i fear that it would also counter by accidentally getting our teammate stuck in the web. If anything a different idea would be able to throw your sword by right clicking or using a different option to be able to throw that said sword instead of a web. However, you also have to take into context of when someone is in combat and you can't heal them due to that cool down. It's a great idea! Though I have my doubts.

 

I like the thought of changing the limited way that a medic heals. I also like the thought of having the web (since I think it's supposed to be medical dressing anyway) itself do the healing. This idea might be more involved, but what if webs were slightly colored based on the team they were tossed from, and while slowed in the webs of enemies you only move slowly BUT when slowed by webs of YOUR team you are granted healing?

If THIS happened, it could completely change how medics heal, and the trade-off for healing from farther away would be limited heals until more webs recover for the medics, enemies could attack the webs and break them to cut off the consistent heals, players who require healing would have to be slowed down in the webs while their health recovers...the healing sword could instead be a chest or something that the medic would use to restock players. I'm not sure how serious a suggestion this is, and it's not very thorough by a long shot, but I'm pretty sure if my tangent idea were to be implemented it would need to include some more love for the medics, because overall it seems to me like it would all boil down to actually being a medic nerf. Perhaps then the medic sword could get Sharpness I back, who knows? Lol.

 

I agree. I'm not sure if it could be done by programming alone, but yes I wouldn't want it to require any texture pack downloads or anything like that. Perhaps it might not even need the slight coloration, but if the effects were implemented from webs then mistaking one team's webs for another team's can be a bad mistake in a bind if they all still just look white.
