TF2 | How I Carry as Medic 

While I'm not as much a vax disciple as you are, one of my favorite moments as medic was popping explosive bubbles on a Process point while a soldier blew himself up trying to rocket me. And I just stood there and captured the point in his face as he exploded.

It's hard to determine medic's skill ceiling. I don't even know if I impacted the match or not

Despite being a Quick-Fix worshipper myself, I agree that the Vax takes the most effort and can turn the tides of a battle, or even an entire match. I hope you continue to produce great content in the future

Medics like you are the best. I remember one of my first games ever as a ftp pyro, a medic on my team decided he was going to pocket me. Over vc, he directed me what to do and where to go, even walked in front of a sentry to draw the fire while I destroyed it. I do not know how that man kept me alive, but by god he did and it was the greatest game I had ever had at that point. It was glorious.

not enough medic players on the youtube scene man, keep putting in the good work

As a Heavy main, love a great medic. You can survive situations that seem impossible if they do really well. Make sure to thank your fellow medics because they are more than just a healer

There is ONE “get gud quick” tip for medic, and that’s to treat the crossbow like your second primary, even if the heavy is right next to you and already shooting the bad guys, he needs that quick burst of health, I don’t know how many times relying on the crossbow over the medium has saved a man for me

Vaccinator can carry almost every Defense team on the last point of a Payload map. I once got put into a heavily rolled team with the scoreboard difference in points between 2 of the topscorers being *45* , and managed to win the game somehow. I know Payload last points are usually always a stomp on offense, but this turn was so sudden.

Dude, this is exactly why I play medic. I actually prioritize gibus players over experienced ones to help them out and make them fall in love with the game. If we can get the new people that are just trying out the game to actually stay, we can keep this game alive forever. I use quick-fix tho cause I don't like to use my brain.

as a medic main myself i can confirm the power of medics and their influence on a match. i once was winning a match with my team before i got auto balanced over to the enemy team. Now normally this is just an automatic loss but by some force of the gods themselves my new team started to immediately rebound after i joined their side and ended up winning the match

As a Heavy main there is much to learn when it comes to understanding your medics... If any of ya Heavy mains out there, make sure that you guys especially research some videos about medi. Because if you learn to think like a medic, you BOTH will overall have more synergy and make things fatter than YOU ARE... And that's saying a lot...

4:13 Amazing. That pyro had you dead to rights but they still somehow let you get 2 saw hits on them so you could uber escape. Great play

holy heck, this is one of the biggest enthusiastic displays of how to achieve greatness at a class I've ever seen, hope this blows up in your favor because this is it

This video is worth watching just for the background footage! This gameplay is unreal!

I remember protecting a f2p sniper with all i could He got 3 headshots,his reaction still touches my heart

Kritz pocketing a legitimate fresh install gibbus heavy and carrying him to 4 dominations and the W will always be one of my greatest memories in this game.

Love the tutorials played over 4 hours of med today while watching great help

Ah, healing. You've reminded me of my days in WoW; spacing, tracking line of sight, juggling abilities, and having to make the judgement call to save myself versus overexposing. A healer does not simply shift the tide of the fight, you can *feel* it shifting.

To anyone trying to practice their crossbow aim I can only say: play some medieval mode. Not that many medics in there so you can topscore just as much if not easier.

As another med main, absolutely love the video!! The only thing is it may sing a bit *too* much praise for the vaccinator? It is ABSOLUTELY my favorite medigun with how unique the gameplay with it is and how GOOD it is in situations it excels in, but the problem is it entirely depends on if the enemy team, well, isn’t good enough to coordinate to stop the combo! While it may be a given that it’s casual so coordination may not be a given; but heck, even just an engineer nest and a decent pyro can completely stop a vaccinator combo in their tracks! It’s resistances are incredible and gives both the medic and their heal target IMMENSE survivability, but against *any* type of focus fire, or really just sources of damage that can do multiple types of damage it can completely halt the momentum of a vacc combo! Say you’re pocketing a soldier or demoman; and you’re about to fight a combo pyro with the degreaser, panic attack, and power jack, depending on the skill level and due to being able to do all 3 types of damage in high amounts at any time during the fight you’ll either have to stack bubbles or have the best reaction speed in the world, not to mention that fire from pyros also reduce the damage resisted by vacc and healing done by mediguns! Which would cause you to use up almost all of your bubbles instantly; leaving you vulnerable for attacks from the rest of their team. An engineer nest being supported by their team should also be obvious; due to having two types of damage and aimbot + with the capability of the wrangler! You may have MUCH better luck against both of these with a heavy but unless it’s a 1 on 1 (heal target vs enemy and enemy medic if they have one) situation the vacc can be easily halted! It is still absolutely my favorite medigun due to how much it can turn the tide of games if say; there’s a sole carry like a god sniper holding down a sightline or kritz demo and how much unfair survivability it gives the med to anything except melee, but I just would rather not have this become the new ambassador with a bunch of people calling it the medic’s god’s honest cure-all

Love the Vacccinator, easily the Medigun i have the most fun with, it's just more proactive than "beam the soldier behind a corner and just stand there and watch him spam rockets", (also i just suck, it's why i play Medic, but we don't mention that) though from what i see from your gameplay you are a bit too paranoid of snipers to switch from the bullet resistance

i wish medic had the higest assist priority unlike debuff

as a medic main, i just love your videos. some of the best medic knowledge ever.

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to use vaccinator. Couple days ago had a bad game, realized I couldn't play sniper due to all the spam and switched medic. The enemy team was composed of demos, soldiers and a heavy. It was so much spam, I didn't really have to switch to bullet res at all. We still lost the game, but my mere presence turned the match from a steamroll to a hard-fought battle. At nearly 3 separate occasions, the enemy med popped kritz on a soldier or demo and I was ready with one or two bubbles and watched as the steamroller dealt peanut for damage as he and the medic got mowed down. The enemy never got to our spawn this way. Goes to show you that even losses can be memorable. Lesson of the day: play medic ffs. I say that as a sniper main. No one appreciates a third spy, but everyone loves a medic.

I'm pretty prone to blaming my team when we lose, but it is true that there is often much more I could have done to help my team

Holy crap did I just find another vacc enthusiast? I'm definitely going to be watching you from now on

Hey, just found your channel and finished watching all the older videos, and here's a new one, just in time! Great content, keep it up! Just bought a strange Vaccinator because of you.

man, I love your writing style. The idioms and phrases you use back to back to really get your point across really spice up what you're trying to say. Especially considering the well thought-out things you're saying. Definite sub from me.

Amazing vid btw, super high quality audio and great gameplay/editing, can't wait to see your channel blow up 👍

Digging that growth mindset approach to gaming. Keep that content up!

How to end a vac medic: *Funny arrows*

I just found your channel and finished watching the older videos, you're great man +1 sub

Holy shit, never thought I'd hear Transistor's soundtrack on a random TF2 video. Much love, man. Earned a sub off that alone. :)

hell yea, just found your channel, nice to see some good medic videos

2:47 "yo gg" You made that guy's day.

Second video that I have watched and I have subbed, I love your vids keep on making them!

Your positive attitude gives me strength. Keep up the great work!

Great vid as usual! Keep up the awesome work!

I didn't know who you where till I woke up this morning and found a post on reddit suggesting some TF2bers, between many names, your popped up as a "Cool medic main", this is the first video I picked to watch (I'm a medic Main myself) and you just earned a new subscriber, honestly that new Heavy and the way you babysitted him, the way you explained exactly why the reasons I play medic, just made me my day and you actually gave good tips even to someone that has over 900 hours on medic alone, so thank you, now I need to watch all the other videos!

I play a lot of medic and engie, and when you re first place in a game as any of those 2, you know you did a good job.

Awesome video man

"mald in silence" is a great line. Definitely going to be using that more

Seeing that gibus so happy made my day

Hey! Just discovered this channel recently, and as a fellow med main (though not as dedicated it seems lmfao) I am loving this content. I put the vacc on the backburner for basically the entire time I have played med, but I think I might try and pick it up and learn!

Dude, your content is insanely good (and you music taste is kino), I can't believe you don't have more subs/views even just on these, I hope you keep up the good work and get that good fame

Of all the hundreds of videos I watched about medic... This is by far the best I've watched.

"I just healed the man who will kill you."

this is underated, subscribed

Nice video! You deserve more subs

Vaccinator is so broken, a good vacc medic is one of the least fun things to play against. Luckily you don't see them often

Im a great fan of kritz, i keep trying to get optimal at certain pushes but i'm not fully grasping perfect times. Your vids are helping me becoming a better medic thanks man

Aw man, I love this videos, as a Young main Médic is to satisfactory see you healing like a madman Yooo Transistor Music!!!

Bro, I admirate how you use the vaccinator I usually get traved with my own finguers and sometimes I'm sniping someone with a melee gun or I uber bullet resistance against pyros...

Not even a joke, you have singlehandily inspired me to play Medic more and just better, I have carried so many more rounds than before by just watching your guides. I feel like a medicine man god when playing causal with just my cheap Strange carbanado Botkiller medi-gun, and feel so much more like an actual player compared to a 10,000 Soldier main now. A sincere thanks FAR from what I want give thanks to you man

Finally, someone that understands my love for the vaccinator

I remember being a wide eyed f2p pyro rocking my gibus with pride getting pocketed by an unusual wearing kritz medic. Looking back on it, I felt like I was on top of the world. My first three kills ever in the game was airblasting a rocket heading for that medic into a group of 5 players. I was pocketed the entire game. Now I go medic in hopes of giving a new player the same introduction to this game as I got.

That gibus heavy was awesome to see

That mindset of giving other people wonderful moments is beautiful to me. I have a heart for mr mc gibus and I love supporting them hehe

3:37 "just get gut lmao" -T theory

I played with the Vac yesterday on Goldrush defences and the enemy team were completely unable to push through the point even with 3 soldiers 2 demos and a heavy. The only time I found myself dying was to spies. But that was on me for getting tunnel vision. I have about 200+ hours on medic and have little use on the Vac because I'm a passive player, but man, when it gets you, it GETS you.

This video is great!

5:55 "If you're really focused at improving at Medic I highly recommend playing solo". Me who has no friends : *YOU CANNOT STOP ME ! MY SKILL IS LIMITLESS !*

As a Sniper main, I really like to BM Vac Medic with a fully charged Machina bodyshot as soon as their bubbles end.

possibly the most based medic channel in existence

I still remember that time in upward where i have pretty bad team, i manage to make a push with quick-fix (thx for arrayseven tips) and luckily red team didnt have a competent engineer. Although we still lose at last point, it feels great when you encourage your team as a medic I might gonna try vacc again, its been a while since i use that. Anyway take my subscribe

Months late to this video, but recently when coming back to TF2, I'll do casual matches and join up on Soldier because something about stock soldier is just so relaxing and enjoyable; but if I suffer a REALLY bad roll, I hop on Medic for a satisfying redemption round.

Good vid man. As someone who usually uses stock, you’ve convinced me to try the vac. How often do you notice the reduced overheal rate? I do place a lot of value in the ability to quickly buff a teammate, but perhaps its not so significant a downside as I think

I remember when i was a lil ol' f2p trying to play medic and died to a heavy speed "friendly" scout because it was a spy. I threw the class and then after i made general improvements i actually started to enjoy medic.

Its so rare to see good medic mains. Your videos are a huge inspiration. Your crossbow aim is also incredible, although at some points in the video i think you would be better off just healing normally.

Ooooo, another "hidden gem" channel to add to my collection 😉

I have over 100 hours in tf2 (which I know isn't really a lot) and only 1min 15sec on medic, binging these guide videos lol

Im trash at aiming the crus crossbow, what replacement should i use?

Honestly your videos are one of my favorites in learning how medic works. You are critical of how some medics set their cards but you're also optimistic by encouraging people to continue playing and learning from your mistakes. I enjoy medic a lot more now after I stopped blaming others for my mistakes.

The true hero of this video was the gibus heavy pushing the cart

That gibus heavy is wholesome as hell

whenever i try to crossbow even at point blank i somehow have a 50/50 chance to hit and usually miss stationary heavies even after weeks of practice. and whenever i go medic it feels like my teammates try their very hardest to avoid my heal beam. it's strange. i say come to me to heal and they say THANK GOD FINALLY then proceed to avoid me.

I personally love the Vax, but find it often hard to use simply because of the lack of hard binds to swap specifically to bullet, explosives, or fire. That one change would make the vax so much better to use for me

Love giving snipers a bullet bubble on breakout in payload, or in conjunction with an Uber push to cap. It creates a multi-pronged attack that's truly deadly.

you're the only other medic i've seen at this point who uses crossbow as much as i do for just general close to mid range healing, not limiting it to faraway targets specifically asking for it i bought a strange medigun and crossbow at the same time and put allied healing on both and the crossbow is about double the healing the gun has

Crossbow is fine for defending yourself I can’t tell how many times the consistency of the projectile got me out of a pinch

You’re so inspiring. 😌👍

I do a lot of mistakes and die but I love playing medic and engineer so even when I die am still having fun Edit:huh there is some point I never thought about thanks! now i can get my self better at medic and maybe other classes

I've always gravitated towards the stock medigun and occasional Kritzkrieg, so I could probably use some practice on the Vac, When you say that a failed push is always your fault, I would like your opinion on a scenario I had only yesterday when I popped stock uber on our teams Heavy, who responded by immediately un-revving and walking away from the fight?

I play medic whenever I can but always switch class when my team is a big asshole or I’m just in a really bad mood but I still love medic when your team manage to push through the seemingly indestructible defense of the enemy and you get the feeling of “I help this team push through” it’s amazing 😉

Pippa Lucas's "yo gg" with the smile is pretty wholesome

you have a gigachad mindset

I'm still at that general stage of awareness where I need a teammate to actually look out for me instead of just expecting I'll survive no matter what. And sometimes staring at, shooting at, and shouting at a spy isn't enough to convince mister Joeswanson2004 that he should turn around.

The vacc + crossbow combo is literally just the wrangler + rescue ranger combo pre-nerf. Except it's for players instead of buildings.

I approve 👌 I still have to learn, but I guess I'm doing correct for now

Heal the friendlies. Pro strat

I haven't delved in to the vac yet I just use stock unless another medic is using stock then I grab my quick fix

2:36 legit made me cry. Thats what medic is about for me. Giving Jose_Gonzales_2008, player since last week, the taste of destroying the team

Interesting ... I recently realized I had taken the habit of jumping every time I shoot a crossbow bolt, and apparently I'm not alone. I wonder what pushes us to do that. Besides that, completely agree with this video. I love introducing friends to TF2 and ubering them to the top of the scoreboard. The kritzkrieg relies more on their skill, but if they pull it off, it's so much fun for everyone involved ...

who knew it was just as easy as becoming a crossbow god and a vaccinator soul-seller, I should have done this ages ago

The ultimate push is a hoovy uber. Nothing can counter

Want to carry as a Medic? Easy. First, find a sturdy chair and a place where you can tie a rope to the ceiling.

As a guy who has only recently started playing Medic on regular basis , the plays in this video has got me really , really hyped.

sometimes you just have to give it up to the player that got the best of you. the player that says "nice shot" when they get killed will improve faster then the guy crying in chat.

This is so inspiring what the fuck rn I feel like I should try my best to be my best medic and I haven't even played the class for so long

Any idea what ui he is using?
