When healing a patient, you will now be auto-healed and given overheal at the same rate as them.
-Any damage taken by your patient while being healed will be applied to you as well. (if using the rejuvanitor, this applies as damage taken within a second or so of a heal burst)
-20% less healing from other sources.

Cool concept but idk if the medic would survive most of the situations

This would make healing any punishing class a death sentence
Especially with spys and snipers
deft mesa
well i don't really know what other downside would fit
strange lodge
maybe not all of the damage gets taken? like 80% of it?
and if your patient gets headshot, you're left with 1 HP instead of dying
steep fjord
medics shouldn't risk their life to this degree
Ubers are the main way to get through chokes afterall

That's just OP as fuck

That's just OP as fuck
you're the only person so far who has called this OP instead of calling the downside overly punishing, elaborate

I mean the med will basically constantly be as tanky as a soldier constantly
Yeah he loses his main self defense tool, but I think the last thing I'd like to deal with is a 210 health medic bumrushing enemies with the sprize
deft mesa
would removing the overheal part mitigate that
eager wyvern
I thik that'd just make the weapon awful
tbh you're going to run into this problem with passive weapons
formal radish
Maybe halving Medic's overheal might work? This way he still gets something out of it without being too broken.

I mean the med will basically constantly be as tanky as a soldier constantly
me when I headshot a heavy and the medic dies too
humble mulch
I think a good nerf for this weapon is having or own overheal immediately drop to zero when you stop healing your target
plays into the symbiosis thing and gives some kinda counterplay other than focus fire/ohkos
Maybe even a faster decay for both the patient and yourself
steep fjord
That doesn't fix the core issues
deft mesa
i'm so confused, 1 side is saying this would need a nerf, the other side is saying this is already too punishing, i don't know who to believe
steep fjord
i'm so confused, 1 side is saying this would need a nerf, the other side is sayi...
Bc it's an annoying weapon
Firstly the medic can become fucking impossible to kill sometimes
secondly the medic could also just get instakilled by it.
And finally your medic will just leave you when he takes too much dmg from it.
It's loose loose
Literally nobody wins
It's just frustrating for everyone.

Yeah it covers the main approach on how to deal with medic 2v1s (focusing the medic) at the cost of dying to stuff youd already die to
