What made X medic so good?

E.g. what made Shade/Raymon/Bonobo/anyone else so good at medic?
What seperated them from the top prem/invite at the time?

Also side question: what movement makes it difficult to fight against medics as a scourt/soldier/demo (and perhaps the other classes against HL medics?

oh boy another RahThread ill post here just for a little bit of content for the new blood medic players to have some context

- [redacted] had stupid good mechanics and was practically unkillable plus the usual top invite positioning/gamesense, shame it had to come to the whole Diddling Kids thing....
- shade super creative caller and good jukes/surfs and back in ye olde days on HRG just played in positions where he would never die
- honestly havent watched raymon too much to know his calling but definitely insane mechanics and super confident/good under pressure with milks and stuff

- skeez not the craziest mechanics but very smart player and good caller/team player, always seemed to wiggle a way out, also super disrespectful with milks which sometimes leads to drops but with a good team like froyo can mean loads of saved ubers
- zilly crazy mechanics and good calling but sometimes got caught out (probably also a factor of not being on a #1 team tho lol everyone looks better if they play on froyo vs being rolled by them)
- ckj always played in a position to live and had some nice surfs, he would also randomly arrow the other medic at mids or across the map randomly (or at least did vs me lmao) which seems like a meme but he hit them a lot, he also had such stupid jukes where he wouldn't look at you and it was almost impossible to hit him
- 404 and lolguy both very passive and always in the right position to escape, as well as having stupid good mechanics

i was kind of a feeder and definitely got caught out too much, disrespected the enemy team too much leading to drops, as well as arrowing too much but when i was grinding the game i had pretty good mechanics so those arrows would save ppl in pretty clutch times, i also called a lot and provided i wasnt tilted or arguing with sandblast (oops) i would be super focused on the present and making sure my team was planning what to do next rather than worrying about the past (this is an important role to have on a team cause otherwise ppl will just argue forever and get distracted)

I remember hearing that shade started in invite as the worst medic, but he was the most dedicated, he constantly asked how he could improve, and took advice better than anyone else.

Also consistently playing with the same people in a team helps a lot. If you play with the same core of people season after season, you're bound to improve alongside them a lot faster than you would team-hopping each season

shade was always on the same page with b4nny ahead of time because they had so many hours together. all those tiny advantage pushes that make froyo so hard to beat were even faster with shade.
