My movie shows the golden rules of medic gameplay and is for entertainment. Fits for young medics who want an insight of this wonderful class and old medic compadres for entertainment. I'm going to show the core gameplaystyle of the medic. If you watch this video pls write a comment and let me know what you think about it!

If you ask yourself, why medic is awesome gameplay? Because if you get "in the zone" with the medic, it's like a field commander and you can turn the tide of a battle easily, if played right! The abilities all in one, medic is just great! If you improve all the golden rules and your team works well, try out 6v6 matches vs clans that's 3 times harder as medic than public matchups, because medics play a center role here with 100% healing, perfect dodging/movement/communication and well timed Ubercharges! The weapons are ABSOLUTLY last option in league games :) The key is to get familiarity to your team, that's most important for success!

Also i have to add that the medic skill is not aiming, it's mostly brainwork/overview, awareness against any threat(esp. spies,snipers). It also pays off if you heal GOOD players, the healing enhances the survivalability, what's a big bonus for veteran soldiers, demos, heavies and pyros!

Medics can kill people, but we can't do it efficiently! It's a much bigger challenge to heal the right person, to stay alive while doing so and use the weapons only when you are forced to. My formula is 80% healing 20% weapons on publics.

The MOVEMENT is very essential for success, this is something you can't teach it's a matter of experience/practice WHEN to follow teammates into dangerous zones and when you need to hang back and charge up the uber before you go. You always need to think about how dangerous the area is where you are healing, if you have good teammates who create a secure area for their medics it's the best condition for us!

UBER-NERF: Uber more than 1 target drains the energy faster!

Some numbers:
1 target = 10secs total uber
2 targets = 6-7secs
3 targets = 4-5secs
4 targets = 2-3secs
....

NEW ---UNLOCKABLES:-

BLUTSAUGER:
This is definitly a better version of the syringegun, it sucks 3 health per hit and cannot crit, but well i hardly needed the crits of the syringegun. It greatly enhances your survival ability if you have good aiming with this gun.

KRITZKRIEG:
The ubercharge provides 100% crit, -NO- invulnerability and charges _25% faster_ than the normal medigun (average: 10secs faster than medigun, if they start at the same time). So you can't afford any movement mistakes and the use compared to the normal uber is different. It works great as ambush support, as a surpriseattack when the enemy doesn't expect a critshower. Also it's very nice if you use it combined with the normal uber, it can be stacked. You need a good package of skill and routine on both medic and patient side, to get the max out of the KritzKrieg and you need to practice to know the right time to use it, by not exposing yourself too early. Sentries and crits are the maincounters to the Kritzkrieg. One very good tactic: Work together with a spy and let him sap the sentries in the exact moment when you rush in with Kritzkrieg, it was devastating! KK is also very nice for the fresh released Arena mode, good stuff Kameraden!

UBERSAW: This one is very powerful and is also definitly better than then normal bonesaw. You gain 25% uber per hit, but you swing 20% slower, but that's only a disadvantage when you face another melee opponent! This rewards the bonesaw hits you can land between the healing, especially spies can give you 50-75% uber if they are spotted and killed by you! TIP: Don't overuse it!! ;)
A funny "tactic" of the ubersaw...
