retarded

holy fuck your username

The only viable usage that I can think of would be to whip it out when you're running away if your team gets wiped on mid. However, the increased movement speed of the overdose coupled with the deterrent of a trail of needles would be much more useful in that situation. Given how utterly vital ubers are, yes, you should use the Ubersaw.

Our team's medic uses it pretty frequently, saved him from fall damage deaths a couple of times already.
The taunt is actually pretty decent for some situations, for example on gully last our med is jumping on the ring after the uber and taunts which gives everyone on the point a fair amount of health regen.
That said ubersaw is probably still better^^

does it work when taunt sliding or did they patch that? I know taunt sliding is illegal in competitive play...

Yes, taunt sliding works with the Amputator. I was mainly curious what people thought of the regen sense you rarely use your melee as a medic but whatever apparently everyone thinks it's dumb and is pointless

EDIT: I was wrong. Apparently it does the visual and audio cues but doesn't actually do the healing effect

The Fisher Price looking thing?

Eh.

With the ubersaw that extra damage and 25% uber can help keep you alive or block capture points and pushes. The 3 health regeneration is nice but the Medic already regenerates health so I don't know.

Ubersaw.

This game completely revolves around uber, and having the option to shave 10 seconds off your uber build by nailing one melee hit is huge. It doesn't happen often, but it's still a great tool. Hitting an ubersaw when you have at least 75% during an enemy team pushing your last can save you the round.

Would this totally negate being on fire?

If only crossbow hits gave you uber, eh Fragile?

It's good for escaping in short corridors because it buffs your self heal rate tremendously. I've also used it when sacrificing myself on last pushes to bait the point and then taunting with it out to heal everyone around me. It actually worked really well on snakewater.

Ubersaw is obviously the more used one because every map is different and as Fragile stated it's a big game changer if you don't die in the process.

my dreams ._.

Degreaser fire yes, stock flamethrower fire im not sure

its not terrible but the ubersaw is much better

no but really what's up with your username

Degreaser afterburn: 4 / s
Anything else afterburn: 6 / s
Bleed: 8 / s

heal rates scale up over time so it caps off at 9 / s as well
