its a medic gun that allows the medic to overheal himself whilst healing someone else
downside is the overheal is slower and the uber drains faster

#

(coundlnt find a better image to show what it is)

finite vessel
#

shittier medigun for survivability is just dumb

humble hearth
finite vessel
#

idk

#

but giving medics just free self heal is just too much

#

and nerfing it also doesn't help bc you then end up with an uber so bad that it's not even worth using

#

i'd just say you can't give him extremely good survivability at the cost of making your medigun worse

scarlet prairie
#

honestly my complaint is

#

what do the upsides and downsides have to do with the gun itself

humble hearth
scarlet prairie
#

actually wait

#

i misread it. whoops

#

this is a medigun replacement and not a syringe gun replacement?

humble hearth
#

yeah

#

i dont take time into image finding

scarlet prairie
#

oh, then

#

ehh

humble hearth
#

what if it can take enemies hp when u beam them?

scarlet prairie
#

i don't think you can make a reverse-heal medigun work

humble hearth
#

but its a possiblility

#

i dont know of the source engine can do that

scarlet prairie
#

not like that

#

i mean like, mechanically

humble hearth
#

maybe when the medic beams a red/blu they get hp but the one getting beamed loses it by bleeding affect?

finite vessel
#

it's not possible to make it fun/good to use,fight or have as a teammate

humble hearth
#

dude its a suggestion

#

why not make ur own if your so knowing of

#

how the game works

finite vessel
#

what under "will never work" didn't you understand

#

there isn't really anything you can do to fix the issues

humble hearth
#

then what the hell do you want?

#

nothing?

finite vessel
#

i am just telling you that that type of concept just doesn't work.

#

im not a fan of the idea of nerfing ur valuable healing and uber potential in exchange for being punished less for messing up by having more health, sounds like a crutch weapon to me

#

plus its too similar to the stock medigun i think, especially compared to the kritz and rejuv this is basically a stat swap

To this guy everything is antifun lmao, he should go play checkers and stick to that. I think it's fine to explore novel weapon ideas

For example, the custom weapons server is a lot of fun and it might have explored this concept already, I'm not sure. A more offensive medic is fine as long as there are tradeoffs. As for the suggestion itself, it all depends on the numbers

everywhere

finite vessel
#

the problems with a medigun that can damage enemies doesn't come from ballance

scarlet prairie
#

i mean.. if it's not balanced that is pretty bad?

humble hearth
#

oh sorry i meant "balenced=bad" but why not make your own

#

if you know the ins and outs

finite vessel
#

it has nothing to do with balance

#
  1. it is literally aimbot (unfun to fight and use)
  2. teammate medics going for kills -> getting themselves killed and not healing teammates
  3. makes the primary slot completely redundant
#

and there is more that i am not going into further

humble hearth
#

dude its a concept

#

it can be altered to fit medics gamestyle of support

finite vessel
#

ok then how do you fix medics being overly agressive with it and getting themselves killed

#

and making the primary completely irrelevant

humble hearth
#

make them do one damge to enemies with the beam

#

ig

finite vessel
#

there is your answer it doesn't work

humble hearth
#

what answer!?

#

tf do you want

finite vessel
#

i just wanted to tell you since it is a very common concept and we really don't need more or people to waste their time on it

humble hearth

why not I.N.B

I need a T-bag?

#

Personally I don't think it's a bad idea, maybe add a couple more debuffs and I would personally consider it to be well-balanced

young wren
#

balanced maybe but itd still be kinda boring i say,

#

too close to stock it feels more like a live tf2 sidegrade

brisk whale
#

Yeah this doesnt sound like anything interesting

strange kraken
#

Rarely are your points wrong but just tonally, something to consider

finite vessel
strange kraken
#

Yeah not denying that

There are exactly 0 people that agree with you

Scorch shot spam requires more effort than that

Just because he's wrong doesn't mean you're not being a dick

It was basically a shotgun that used shrapnel from small mediquips, which, although it did a lot of damage, only had one bullet in the barrel (similar to the Cyclops), but as a disadvantage, it was friendly fire

#

The name are the euthanasia

mental pelican
#

looks like a tommy gun

mental pelican
#

the model is good

#

but the ideology of the idea is 0
