Medic

this is the only thing I really dont like in the whole update. this is going to make the quickie powerful as hell, maybe even borderline op

For those wondering, the medigun change does NOT affect explosive jumps, only movement speed.

So do you pick the side of the class you want nerfed and get points for them? Or is it the other way around?

Did med really need another buff though, feels like they're trying to make it easier to play with each update.

Also all Valve servers and in-game store seem to be down atm

Checking areas is one of the most important skill, still 90% of players fail to check spots that've been here forever. Atleast it was a map where you would get punished hard for being careless while repushing last.

Oh shit, even after a scout dies while you are healing him, you're still getting the speed boost. Hot diggity dog.

Tested the medic movespeed buff: If the scout on your healbeam dies, you keep moving at scout speed indefinitely (or until you latch onto a slower heal target).

Obviously, if you stop healing the scout normally you go back to medic speed.

Edit: If the scout runs out of your range, you also keep the speed.

badlands is literally the only map in rotation where it was a valid play to instead of sack someone for a med just run onto the point and hope the demo has a momentary lapse of attention
it doesn't take skill to stop a badlands cap it takes literally putting 8 stickies on it and standing on it 100% of the time its r e t a r d e d and you're probably awful for thinking thats good gameplay.

I fucking quit

Ground the skill ceiling on meds and change the whole fucking pace of the game, buff the insane and doesn't do shit with infamous Pompson, Quickfix, Crit-o-Cola and others. Basically not a single tweak takes a good direction that we all expected from Valve, even with all the feedback.

if by "punished hard" you mean "instantly lose the game" because someone isnt constantly standing at every flank so a scout cant skillessly stand on a point and instantly win

glorywhy would they buff spy but nerf demo more than it already has this couple of years this doesnt make sense at all

They nerfed booties, not demo.
Booties were too viable and arguably made demo generally easier to play/more boring to spectate, perphaps the latter was the reason for the nerf.

SkyeTested the medic movespeed buff: If the scout on your healbeam dies, you keep moving at scout speed indefinitely (or until you latch onto a slower heal target).

Reaaally hope that's a glitch and not a feature.

This sounds to me like a bug
