The other Medi-Gun being specialized is actually the reason that the quick fix was banned in 6's because the damage in 6's is way less and there isn't any sentry nests to destroy, another thing is that you can pocket a roamer and pretty much keep diving on their medic with no consequence because the soldier you're pocketing can just fly away and keep you out of danger.

@redline841

Honestly that is probably more due to 5CP and KOTH dominating 6s than the setting itself. If 6s had more attack/defend or payload oriented, the Quicky-Yiikie wouldn't be banned. Devastating for sure but not as devastating

32:00 I had no idea you got the enemy medic's charge when you pick up their dropped medigun. I'll have to keep that in mind! Great video!

I’ll be honest, I never really considered that you can get creative with invulnerability. It's just a kind of power where people don't usually use any special tricks to make it work better than normal. But now that we've got the ability to create and control it however we want, I'm starting to see some potential uses for this that are pretty cool.

Something i have great shame with as medic main . that i'm more efficient with the vaccinator than stock uber . what is not bad but vaccinator has its limitation and use and the uber is important card that i should learn more how to use it . unironically . you need more game sense and understanding of the battlefield to use the uber effectively .

21:10 holy crap you just saved that heavy split seconds before he would've been backstabbed

Dude, you have no clue how much this helps. I’ve been trying to improve as Med, but only have maybe 10 hours on him. This guide definitely helps, and you should really be proud of it. On behalf of all rookie Meds, thanks.

4:14 That poor red Spy getting shut down got me

Man, even after 600 hours of basically only using Stock.... There is so, SO much I need to learn.... I need to watch this video a few more times. Also need to learn to hit those crossbow shots. Especially on airborne allies. On a side note, speaking the the tele-frag thing.... A Pyro I Ubered today fell victim to that. I COMPLETELY forgot that was a thing. He just walked over it, and died instantly.

36:35 An understated quirk about the stock Medigun is it's perhaps the worst Medigun at 0% Uber. It means you have a lot of reason to swap it with somebody's dropped Uber on the floor. Theory-Y here grabs a Kritz at 56%, so he's only 14 seconds away from a follow-up Kritzkrieg. Compare with the 40 second build time of a 0% stock Uber, and you can see a clear advantage.

I think it's important to point out that invulnerability not only prevents death, it prevents damage. It's WAY better to maintain a team at high health than to use the über to save yourself or someone else from dying while they are at low health. If you über 2 or 3 guys starting from already high health, you can use the damage prevention to gain an advantage and have a massive health advantage even after the invulnerability wears off. Despite his class name, Medic's design at its core is more about empowering others and preventing damage in the first place than about treating already damaged people. If you're constantly preoccupied with keeping low health teammates alive and cannot make big pushes, you and your team aren't really doing something right and are just stalemating the game. (Works on A/D defense, I guess.) This doesn't mean that hurt people are to be ignored completely and that flashing a low health guy for a second to tank a hit that would kill them can't be useful. It's just that caring about them isn't actually Medic's main job. Medic isn't solely responsible for teammate deaths. He can't prevent them all and doesn't need to. Usually when you have a disadvantage, you want to retreat to heal up and gather for a big push when possible, instead of staying and trying to keep people on the edge of death.

8:02 I liked how he pushes in ahead of the demoman here to make sure he draws the sentry fire and tanks the pushback to let his teammate have a good clear shot at it. He'll probably mention this element later in the video, but it's a mark of good play as medic. I am a medic main, and am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!

I've played for 1.4k hours, mostly on Medic, and I've always struggled with my stock and kritz ubers. Those were always my weakest parts of playing medic. With this in mind I'll try to implement your advice more in my next games, especially with trying to think of specific uses for uber outside of "ok I want to start winning now"

Another great video, welcome back theory

Btw quick tip to every medic. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR UBERS AMMO COUNT. I’ve had many moments where a medic will Uber me and want to push even though I’m a heavy with 45 ammo and a banana.

Great video. Very informative. Clearly a lot of effort went into making this, and I shudder at that kind of dedication. Hopefully you're not suffering from burnout. Remember, it's always okay to take breaks.

this is criminally underrated, definitely subscribing

Medic has become my fav class to play over the years because of how much complexity there is under the surface such as how many things you need to actually pay attention to in order to help your team better.

NGL one of the most satisfying aspects of your videos is watching a medic player heal/uber someone who isn't the default heavy with 20 hours, but the people who will do the most with it, or appreciate it the most (cleaner's carbine snipers, frontier justice engies, widowmaker engis etc.)

Talking about using Uber on the MVP reminded me of the time I ubered a revolver Spy and he killed three people. He was *by far* the most competent member of my team.

Great video man, I always felt I wasn't using uber at it fullest so this helps a lot

I love how this game gets in depth guides to this day. Just shows the complexity of this game. As a day one player, I’ve always contemplated getting on the KZread grind but I’ve just never been able to get inspired. Thanks for the excellent content. Btw how do you make your medi beams look so bright?

This was an amazing video

that uber on the warrior's spirit heavy at 32:57 was hilariously effective, you're a great medic player dude

I have been looking for a medic tutorial like the series you have made for a while now, as I really like playing medic and being support, and I have been looking to see how I could learn to play more effectively as medic, as it seems to be one of the most practical options and even though I may enjoy unconventional strategies, I also want to be able to play practically too, as that can also be fun, and I’m really interested in the medic play-style and want to learn more about it. I always lean towards a supportive role, even if the class was made for support or not. (I.E, spy checking, going pyro to rid of those pesky spahs harassing my engineer, helping my engineer setup and/or upgrade his nest or being engineer when we don’t have one and should, giving my dying teammates a sandwich at every chance I get, focus on keeping our medic safe and alive at all costs, denying an area with a sentry and make a safe retreat for my team as engineer, get rid of a sentry our team can’t deal with for some reason (casual moment), going mad milk scout to help my team a bit and extinguish flames if need be, trimping in out of nowhere to distract their team as demoknight to get an important pick, annoy the living hell out out the enemy team, use the conch or buff banner and buff my team for a push, use the disciplinary action and focus to get our slower classes to the front lines, switch to medic and to keep our team and/or biggest assets alive, fake our teammates deaths with the deadringer, cover my engineers sentry guns and buildings with stickies and detonate them if there is any sign of a spy, sneak behind enemy lines with holiday punch to confuse and stun the enemy, ETC..) so thank you, Medic Uncle Dane, I can confidently say that I can start my advanced medic journey.

“Here’s my mentality when it comes to flashing” 😮 Very good tutorial, I’ll definitely be rethinking how I play medic.

Thank you for pointing out how versatile stock Uber can be! So many times I've gone to Uber someone as a defensive measure and they instead take it as a cue to charge directly into the enemy team guns blazing, accomplishing nothing and getting both of us killed. Sometimes I pop Uber on a fellow Medic as a distraction, a last-ditch effort to keep the enemy team occupied while waiting for stronger teammates to show up and hold the line. Sometimes I pop Uber because me and the Engie somehow got trapped waaay behind enemy lines, so we can use the invulnerability to escape to safety. Sometimes I flash Uber on everyone in my vicinity because the enemy team is pushing in unexpectedly and we need to hold our position. Uber, especially stock Uber, is about so much more than just "go commit mass murder"! I wish more players understood that. When it's just me and you, Sniper, it's okay if you don't get a quad kill when I Uber you! Let's just get out of this danger zone!

Such a great video and impressive footage. There were so many times when you saved someone falling by shooting them with a crossbow mid-air, and also you rocket jumping using enemy rockets

i dont like watching a lot of guide videos about clases because everytime i just get flashbacks on how bad i play. But this one instead help me to see medic in whole different way

I don't play tf2 anymore, but i really enjoy the process of people explaining stuff in-depth thought process/strategy of a specfic charater or class. Great video btw!

Thanks Theory-Y. Very cool.

Clicked for Medic gameplay, satisfied to see all that here. Good guide for all levels of play. There's little left to say but maybe these: 1. Battle medic. 2. Medi-beam kept short when going around corners (as in part when going deep). That helps against snipers too, they could just wait until you show up (with long beam). Now that you can see the enemy, just adjust you position or pop right away. 3. Fake end uber. You just popped to save lives, but there's no other team close by. You could just switch weapon and let the enemy think you just run out of uber but switch back just in time to prevent any dmg. 4. Body block a spy trying to stab your patient. Aka getting in-between the two while sawing the spy in half. As shown on video it's done using an uber, but either style is fun.

your advice about team positioning and general strategy are also broadly useful across all classes, it should be added

Having a mic is probably the single most valuable thing

love to see deep dives into strategy in pubs specifically.

I want to be such a good medic as you are and make videos that cool! great vid

epic in-depth tutorial

as a heavy main; when the spacemaker was being explained i realised that that happens to me a lot; usually i feel bad for wasting the uber and the medics tend to seem competent; but people always run and get split up; and sometimes it helps our team push a lon way forwards and i take down an engi nest

Thanks to these videos I finally top-scored an Uncletopia game as medic.

I learned a lot, thank you, this is awesome. In retrospective, übered scout being good must've been obvious, huh. Also I should probably finally reconsider my stance on übersaw when it comes to stock.

There was an Uber not discussed that I like that I call The Guarantee. Pop on an already popping Kritz med. if the enemy team has smart players that focus your kritz med, just keep him and his chosen murder machine alive. Another one I like is called The Bait. If you have 2 uber meds and they kite (dodge) your teams ubers, communicate with your other med and pop a bad uber on purpose. The enemy med, ESPECIALLY kritz meds, will wait until you pop for them to pop, and some less skilled meds will pop as soon as you do. Which makes the other uber the perfect follow up.

Great video!

truly underrated I'm ass at medic and after watching some tutorials i've got better

Once Uberd a spy who managed to confuse the team of engineers and quickly sap everything. Which might of been the only play too. With that many sentries, there was no way we could out damage them all in one uber. However, since they were all momentarily sapped the whole team could push onto the point and help destroy them. So yea, on some rare occasions any class can make a big play with Uber

@Winasaurus

Big Earner spies can pop off with a stock uber too. The downside of being fragile getting totally negated means they can use their absurd speed to get some silly stabs, especially if you're flashing scarier power classes which take their attention off the spy. If they're good and can do matadors/strafe stabs you can almost guarantee at least 4 kills as long as there's no knockback sources.

Hey theory! I did actually end up checking out your videos on medic and I will be dropping a subscribe. Hope to see you again on Friday :) Many thanks, that medic

11:17 YES FINALLY THE BEGGAR'S ENJOYERS ARE FINALLY GETTING ATTENTION

Kritz can be on the same level of keeping your teammates alive, as kritz eliminates the danger but the other mediguns minimize it and/or delay it. But the one problem is the effectiveness of the kritz is much more apparent on the player rather than other mediguns. But still a kritz enthusiast cause I love funny numbers.

One thing I like to do on an Exchange defensive Uber is to "minimally flash"- As a teammate is Ubered the enemy Uber tends to ignore him. That's a chance to completely Switch the Uber to a teammate that's about to get damage and is at 50-100% HP. Finally I might do a final switch as the enemy switches targets again, either to the original or another target. This leaves me around 7 seconds of Uber, but I used it to block a massive amount of damage from key players that are going to stay and fight the post Uber with me. The tactic you outlined of using the Uber to look around is key here- but instead of gathering information on the enemy, I tend to look at my unubered teamnates and the enemy damage coming their way, to find the Juiciest targets to switch over to.

as an engi main, i needed to wacth this to study the mind. just because you arent the main of another class does not mean you shouldn't learn them. quite the contary

Feeling like the keystone of the entire team while playing with the mentality of a tactician! Medic has always been my favourite, games feel like way more of an intelligence game than just fragging

Yay, new video! I am so excited to learn more about my favourite class, the My Dick :>

i only have like 10-15 hours on medic and 20 hrs in game total, but I love doing crazy shit with the stock ubercharge. Scouts are really fun to uber on offensive positions, sprinting with them through enemy lines to take out other medics and snipers.
