Medics: Why?

>Look for a heal slut thread
>Search "healslut" in catalog
>This thread pops up despite not having "healslut"

>>383916368
Try reading the OP.

>>383916252
It's called support.

Also why did you choose to use engineer as your picture in this thread? Why not- I don't know... medic?

>>383916587
Engineer can technically heal people with dispenser

I haven't saved any medic images. But here's a good example of the shit I'm talking about. This guy can res HIMSELF. Death is just an inconvenience for him. How stupid is that?

>>383916252
medics entire purpose is to break chokepoints. I agree though he is pretty boring and gamebreaking class
they shouldve made him more combat oriented

>>383916928
It's crazy to think OW's healer (Ana) takes far more skill than TF2's

Which games? Do you win objectives or get kills? Pics or I won't believe anything you say.

>>383917212
But that's not even the proper Medic Analogue. Mercy takes less skill then a TF2 Medic.

>>383918675
Ana is a medic.
Medic is a medic.

>>383918845
Ana is effectively a Sniper with a healing gun and Jarate.

Mercy has the lock-on heal beam, damage booster, and slow-traveling projectile weapon.

>waahhh where's my generic template fap thread, this isn't the /v/ I used to know!

>>383919698
Cool
But they're both still medics so my point stands.

>>383919797
You're an idiot, I'm complaining about the search engine, not the thread itself

>>383917212

Vaccinator medic actually requires a lot of skill from both the medic and person being healed.

ur gay op

I main Aura in Dirty Bomb and regularly contribute to top 3 if not top 1 spot in kills and objective

>>383919904
>complain OP doesn't have the term healslut in it
>it does
hmmm

They help bring support and a level of strategy into the game. The problem is that most games either makes the medic
1) Too dull to play
2) OP to the point that not having it is the equivalent of throwing

>>383918623
WoW, Overwatch, TF2, KF etc.
Objectives.

Or better at combat than healing

>>383916252
So players without the mechanical skill to aim can make contributions and not quit the game out of frusturation

I'm not trying to imply this is a bad thing though, lots of games like battlefield did medic right

Isn't this cited as the reason so many females play Mercy in OW?

>>383922536
yeah exactly, its a business decision.

At least Tf2 medic must stay alive to keep his über unlike in casualwatch
