.REPOST.

We all been there. Medic swoops by like a sonic, completely ignoring your downed body, despite its being safe to revive BBClown .

Medic needs to be changed to reinforce his role of a Support⛑️, instead of a role of "one man army" or Assault 🪖

🛠️Here is what we can do, all or combination of:

  1. Restrict him only to assault rifles and carbines. +10% move speed from smg (ump and vector currently) directly encouraging "run and gun" selfish style of play.

  2. Remove Light Armor. Same explanation as above.

  3. Reduce self healing capabilities.
    It could be slower draw speed of his medkit or slower self heal or something completely different.

  4. Remove c4.
    C4 does not belongs to Medic class. Same as movement speed buff from equipment, it too encourages the solo style of "run and gun"

.....

To those that will cry that this will very negatively impact his support role capabilities the answer is simple - start using your brains and equip Smoke Launcher and Smoke nades with heavy armor🫵

🥇Smoke Launcher is the best gadget in the game allowing you to quickly cover your team to revive and heal them and the best tool for your team to push, covering enemy positions in smoke instead, preventing them from firing from cover

🥈Smoke nades could provide same effects, but unfortunately they are inconsistent, im sure many of you have experienced this. Thats why you need heavy armor to have 4 of them, throw 2 of them in one spot to be extra safe or spread out 4 of them to cover huge area for your team to push.

Basically, remove their offensives capabilities, that being:
1.Smg and light armour (+5/10% move speed each)
2. C4 (with the explanation why)
3. Slow down their self heal capabilities

And also explaining why Smoke Launcher is the best gadget in the game xd

To people that will view this as nerf to medic support capabilities, when in reality its just nerfing their offensives power

Still, about this suggestion. It just sounds like a medic nerf. I don’t see why it would make them want to revive more

#

It just sounds like less medics so less reviving

If they stop playing medic they’ll revive even less than they do now

# tight flame This will be better

It would lead to more medics that are focused on team play in comparison to right now as a proportion of medics, but much less medics reviving in total. May as well just remove the class if you’re gonna make it that bad tbh

tight flame
#

Literally

obtuse grove
#

Virtually everyone in this game is “selfish”

tight flame
#

That will not hurt the game

#

If anything, will balance overall quality of matches

obtuse grove
#

If having no medics isn’t a big hit to player freedom in specialisation then I have no idea what you’re thinking this would do

#

How is making a class bad supposed to balance it

#

It’d be like the old leader class, but honestly worse

tight flame
#

Only selfish people will stop playing medic. Medic players will continue play medic with smoke launchers

obtuse grove
#

everyone is selfish, more or less. You can’t paint this as black and white.

obtuse grove
#

Everyone plays to have fun and pure reviving is not what people play for

tight flame
#

Most medics dont heal and revive they just run and gun

knotty osprey
#

no one picks medic because they like holding a button to heal people
they do because it's rewarding in a way or another

#

same for any other class

knotty osprey
#

they reward the player in the class with something

obtuse grove
#

But for medics it is more convenient

#

So they are more inclined to do it

#

And actively punishing those that DO want to help their team will disincentivise helping their team.

knotty osprey

idk why he's speaking like no one revives anyone in the game

Or ner medic so people would swtich to assault

or quests etc...

Or engi

knotty osprey

nerfing it to that point will make people not pick it

which also means broken balance

a good option would be to allow medics to drag bodies quicker or something, the medic should not be a yeet around class but a support one so that teamwork is encouraged

nerfing a class to the ground to the point where it's "better removed" is not balance

What it is “supposed to do” includes everything you can do in battlebit. Removing C4 for example makes it harder for medics to be meta AND harder for them to play to support the team at the same time.

Meaning: less people play medic. Reviving is less convenient. You now have less medics that revive than before as it isn’t like this can somehow make the class more popular.

At this rate we may as well reduce support to 20% move speed to encourage their playstyle further… or remove primaries from medics and ammo kits from assault…

autumn crest

assault is now the actual meta for most aggresive, perma pushing players, u just dont know that

Nobody plays the game exclusively to revive people and to expect as such from a medic is absurd.

idk i dont think medic needs a nerf to the ground but adapting more capabilities so that playing selfishly isnt rewarded as much as playing with your team and assault is quite good now and the bandage speed update changed a lot and its already fine at the moment idk really i understand how annoying it is for medics to run past people that need help but a heavy nerf shouldnt be added its alright as is and people can still get a decent amount of kills with assault , support and engineer with a similar amount of kills so it usually depends on skill which is good choice

I just explained that

  1. Move speed is good for medics that want to quickly reach teammates in need of help. Problem is not SMGs inherently. See next point.
  2. Actual good KD-seeking Medics always use Ranger armor for the extra ammunition. This is what should be removed as it gives Medic way too much self-sufficiency for solo running and gunning.
  3. No. Bad. Wrong. Self-healing speed should be the same across every class because it's a fundamental part of the gameplay loop. The only thing that needs to be tweaked here is their inability to give bandages to people (should be a basic feature of the Medic class) and their ability to infinitely self-heal. This is achieved very simply by turning Medkits into the equivalent of the Support box for health: right-click to heal others, left-click to deploy an abundant source of bandages (20+).
    3.5. On the point of Medkit usability, holding heal in front of someone's face until they get to 100% is very slow and inconvenient. Without buffing the healing speed, adding a heal over time effect (stopped on damage) that lets the Medic cut down the boring "hold LMB" time in half would facilitate Medics stopping by to heal people.
  4. C4 itself is OP and needs to be balanced across the board. I would not tweak anything specific to Medic and C4 at this time. But the smoke launcher certainly can use a buff to make it a competitive alternative over C4.
knotty osprey
#

nah, you're missing the point of class roles
picking a role on battlebit is not picking a job on the team

#

it means picking a specific extra skill your character has to change the gameplay loop slightly

#

battlebit is a shooting game

#

every class should be competent at shooting

#

limiting his weapons

#

removing his c4

#

and making him sluggish makes him terrible for shooting

u havent got any actual reasoning for ur suggestion beyond u sometimes not getting revived, u dont even know what the actual class balance is, u complain medic is too fast while engi is actually the fastest class, u complain medic is used for run and gun too much while assault is now actually the best class for this playstyle, ur completely clueless and to be honest, most likely terrible at the game judging by things u have said

Making the class weaker in combat in a combat based game makes it worse at everything. Not just worse at one thing.

Medic is not a one man army, it’s just competitive

You will use your gun regardless of your playstyle

it's A SHOOTING GAME

THE PRIMARY FOCUS

IS TO SHOOT

NOT TO HEAL

you have to put that into your mind

autumn crest
#

wait real quick OP, do u even play medic?

knotty osprey
#

it's not possible you're purposefully ignoring that

obtuse grove
#

Making a medic worse at fighting also makes it worse for supporting the team. This is such a simple concept.

being a medic is a QUIRK you have to help your team-mates and you only do it BECAUSE IT REWARDS you

# tight flame Weaker in aggressive playstyle

umm mate this is quite an aggresive game tbh. You often have cqc firefights so i cant understand making something weaker when aggressively used. BECAUSE most classes are used that way and this means that flanking is one of the best tactics as well, speed is required so light armour is required and can be effective in the same way light armour on assault can be effective as well, or on the engineer. The only difference with medic is that they have 20 bandages and a medkit so if you play anyone else as aggressive, the medic must be able to play aggressive or its severly underpowered. Thats just how the game works and nothing is going to change nerfing the medic, but only make players never use it, if i can yeet with assault and engineer i can do so with medic to counter these classes.

#

and you can use assault with smgs as well

"To those that will cry that this will very negatively impact his support role capabilities the answer is simple - start using your brains and equip Smoke Launcher and Smoke nades with heavy armor🫵"

A.K.A: You have no choice of freedom, forget loadouts, forget your way of playing the game YOU MUST PICK THIS IF YOU WANT TO EVER SUCCEED in healing your teamates

||oh... you decided not to go into all of this trouble and just play other class instead? SKILL ISSUE||

"Restrict him only to assault rifles and carbines"

A.K.A: you're a close combat class because you need to on top of the literal corpses near enemies, but you're stuck with those medium+ range weapons.

|| oh... you got tired of being in disavantage against the enemy team and you're failing to heal your allies? SKILL ISSUE||

"Remove Light Armor"

||who cares if you're walking like a damn juggernaut towards the middle of the battlefield on a pile of corpses? SKILL ISSUE||

"Remove c4"

||because c4 kills, and medics are supposed to heal ONLY, shoot only when necessary to not get kicked from the server for inactivity||

Micspamming causes everyone around you to be revived

Honestly medics having something like the defibrillators from The Finals could be a cool way to incentivise team support

#

Not spammable but a minor expenditure to get an ally up again

knotty osprey
#

i'm down to removing c4 for that
or reducing his self-heal but allowing him to go as fast as whatever class is the fastest at the time

#

this would lead to the medic appearing, doing his shit but take a little more to come back into the combat

gusty marten
#

Bbr users on their way to shit on medics because they aren’t a dedicated heal/res bot You screamed “MEDIC!!!” 5 times in front of an enemy who’s clearly camping your body

#

But yeah no you’re right, medics are selfish for not going for suicide rezzes, and c4 on medic specifically is the problem and not how strong it is overall in general POOGERS

“Just use smokes”

Using smokes does not stop teammates from being dumb. You complain about medic not playing more of a support role yet teammates expect us to dodge and weave through chokepoints just to “revive” one person who’s likely already hit the respawn screen (or if not, they’re right next to enemies so reviving or dragging them is pointless)

Literally the most “I hate medic smg even after the nerf” suggestion I’ve seen, jfc I might just stop playing medic if you NPCs only expect us to somehow get you out of stupid situations that you got yourselves into with your (ironically) own selfish plays. Clown suggestion.

I don't hate the class, but its just too strong. Its both Assault class and Medic class currently.

People thinking that removing light armor and smgs will some how make medic unplayable and overnerfed are clearly never played medic/healer role in other games

gusty marten

because it encourages stupid play under the guise of "my medic should run in and heal me cause what else are they good for xd"

gusty marten
#

My point still stands

empty chasm
#

Only way to make people heal and revive is to make this two little things more appealing and rewarding (for both sides), that's why I ask for something like a defibrillator for instant rezz, and an alternative for medkit, limited injections that instant heal someone else 70hp, and yourself 40

There is a very old saying for this OP. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink. People will inherently always do what they find the most enjoyment over. In the cases of medic players you are referring to. These are the people who gain enjoyment from high stats, and high kill games.

I can understand the frustration you're having with them but you cant shame them for focusing on what they enjoy the most.

The players you do see reviving care about the overall outcome of the game, either a win or a loss. So they're playing on the objective, and they're preventing causalities when they see fit.

Unfortunately there is no real way to pull players from doing what they want. Punishing them for doing something (in their heads) is the objective, and the source for fun will always bring backlash from them.

# tight flame Restrict the class capabilities likes its done in other bf games is exactly the ...

The solution to this may in fact have players playing the role as intended but it is a very blanketed fix. There will be players caught in the middle where they do enjoy rushing around, and reviving to various degrees. It would have to be polled to figure out how many people would be effected by this change before it was made. Players in that area between rushing and focusing on reviving may swap to other classes, and shelf reviving all together. If this were to be done, you could see a significant drop to reviving at all. It is very much a possibility, but would people like yourself be okay with that? Knowing that you will be revived a lot less, but know you will most likely be revived if a medic is near by.

elfin quarry

Your suggestion would be asking for a different solution if you knew all the variables.

tight flame
#

This a simplest, fastest solution for oki sakes

#

Anything more complicated would be stuck in dev for ages with how oki prioritize his work

#

Bandage for more bigger problem of general class identity 2 of the classes suffers

#

Although not really "bigger" easily fixed by restrictions of equipment

#

Like how its done in bf games, lol

elfin quarry
#

What you had suggested in your 4 points guts the class. Leaving it for people who only want to revive. Sure it gives you what you want. Medics that revive. There is a cause and effect of everything you change.

What about medics who revive and like fast move speed of the smgs?
What about any player that likes this move move speed of smgs?
What about medics who revive and like fast move speed of the lighter armors?
What about medics who revive and their favorite equipment is the c4?
What about medics who revive and love the faster self healing, and enjoy being able to quickly draw the med kit out?

Every variable should, and needs to be looked at by devs before making choices. All of these players would have to make a choice to sacrifice all what you listed to continue to revive on the class, or pick a different class entirely, where its main objective is not to revive other players.

Your solution may be easy for you to see, and very clear but for a dev thats a lot of things to look after.

#

I have a long background in this feild, and in my time ive watched many games die for various reasons. Everyone whos been around gaming for a while knows at least 1 game thats died because of something. Balancing is very difficult on devs, and many games have died because of balancing issues. Devs are human, we all are so there is always going to be things overlooked from time to time.

empty chasm
#

Do you have a really one point, but there is only one thing that should be deleted from medic, without question

C4

That's all, leave everything else as is

full obsidian
#

tbh faster selfhealing doesn't matter much now with the speed of bandaging

elfin quarry
#

Still, even in just deleting that has a ripple effect on tons of deferent variables. If you're asking for something implemented in a game and balanced to be completely deleted there must be a widely agreed on reason for doing so across all players and devs for place of overall game health, and obviously fun.

elfin quarry
empty chasm
#

Also, like I've already say, the only way to make people heal and revive is to make it more rewarding for both sides

#

It doesn't matter how much you limit medic, that will only make it worse

#

People won't do it if there's no good reason

elfin quarry
#

Rewarding goes hand in hand with buffing. If the issue is "medics are not reviving people" the solution has to be BUFF revives. Though you have to go around it in a way that entices players to do it, for their own benefit as much as it already benifits the team.

at this point, reviving should trigger an explosion that kills enemies around to give smg rushers an other tool when they're already playing best meta weapon, g18 C4
I'll always wonder how those players think of people playing the worst weapons, attachments, or accessories, they must look like gods to them

#

or maybe they became like that because those tools like this exist, so better remove them like that we'll finally be able to see skill and maybe they'll start reviving and doing teamplay things

# autumn crest oh hey u actually came back, so as i asked yesterday, do u even actually play me...

I play medic in all battlefield games because i enjoy supportive role.

In bbr im the sole reason my team is able to push because everyone on medic is too brain dead to equip smoke launcher and heavy armor for 4 snoke nades. %20 speed buff doesn't matter if enemy cannot see you.

My highest kd and score is on medic, i played him enough to understand that his combat capabilities needs to be nerfed and left for assault class.

Defensive style of play described by me is more then enough for medic, he is a support class after all. Its as effective as every other class.... except support, support is utterly fucked, i played that class more then medic trying to make it work, but its just doesn't

#

Medic role is not an offensive role, thats for assault class, and right now medic is just better assault class.

round sphinx
#

Assault and medic are tight atm, I don't think medic is stronger than assault, it depends if you're staying alive a lot while doing your fights (so you run out of bandages)

#

but they're still better than support, engi and recon

#

why would u not be on the leaderboards for doing medic things since ur so fervantly complaining about how other medic players dont do that?

#

u dont want to be a hypocrite do u?

#

its top 5000, ur a medic main with like 400 hours, who is posting about how medics should only ever be for healing and reviving yet u clearly dont do that urself, acting like this doesnt completely undermine ur point is kinda crazy ngl

#

yes dodge my point bcos u know its more proof ur clueless

#

i dont feel the need to talk about ur awful suggestions further, its already been done and u ragequit ur own suggestion yesterday after a few people all said ur clueless and dont know what ur talking about

#

calls me special, forgets what i said in literally my last message

#

how do u scroll up 2 messages when i said it was the last message?

#

and yet still, u wont actually say shit, just "haha that dumb i wont say why", just like ur response to everyone who has criticised ur suggestions bcos ur not open to any possibility that u dont know what ur talking about

#

i said last message, not question, learn to read

#

the fact ur still today arguing medic is the meta not assault shows u have no clue what ur talking about, u just sit and play ur heavy armor medic with no thoughts about anything else, u dont know what the meta is, u dont know class balance, and u sit here calling everyone telling u this dumb bcos u cant even articulate ur own points

#

once again the wrong message, this is just getting embarrassing now man come on

#

ur not trolling anything, u actually just dont know what ur talking about, it wasnt even me u were talking to about how assault is actually garbage (its not, its the meta since last patch, u just dont know anything about the game)

#

its literally as easy as going to the message u called me special, and then looking at the last message i sent before that, how u arent understanding this i have no clue

#

bcos ur wrong, medic is not still better, assault is now the meta for aggressive players

#

oh u mean exactly what u have done to everyone who has told u that ur wrong and ur suggestion sucks?

#

i was here yesterday when u ragequit ur own suggestion thread about an hour after posting it lol, people were making points and u just insulted them and ran off and didnt come back until today lmao

#

again, i was here, i know thats just not what happened, but whatever ur legit too delusional and unable to accept that u could ever be wrong about anything

#

i dont think u know what projecting means

#

its not, its a very good point that u completely refuse to engage with

#

but since we're back on ur stats, its weird how u claimed ur a medic main but the only leaderboards ur on are for using, destroying and repairing vehicles, almost like ur actually an engineer main and thats why u have no clue what ur talking about when it comes to medic

#

it doesnt take a top player to crack the top 5000 for holding left click with the med box in hand, especially when ur claiming ur a medic main and have almost as many hours as me

#

dont project ur skill issue onto me pls

#

no it doesnt lmao

#

its not supposed to mean ur good, its literally just what u mainly use, why are u this incapable of ever accepting ur wrong

#

evidently u havent become good at any class, and u said urself u main them all

#

im literally just calling u bad again.....

#

ur trying way too hard to try and appear smart and its not working man, pls just talk normally im getting second hand embarrassment

#

i mean ive seen ur leaderboard positions and hours played, feel free to dm me ur stats page if u want me to make fun of u more accurately tho

#

u also literally said ur bad urself

#

the offer to dm me/send ur stats to off topic stands, no point arguing about it bcos i know u wont send ur stats page

#

ive made arguments, other people have made arguments, u have no interest in peoples arguments at all, all u do is call them dumb and refuse to engage with them

#

the whole thing boils down to u thinking ur playstyle is the only good and correct one so medic should get completely gutted but only things that u dont use, ur a weird selfish guy who doesnt even know what the actual meta is but is loudly trying to claim that u actually know better than everyone else

autumn crest
#

thats, once again, not a response to what i said, u continue proving what i said about u dodging every point anyone makes while trying to reply to me saying that lmao

#

ah ofc i guess u didnt see the message i linked when it was posted, they sent it just after u threw ur tantrum and rage quit ur own suggestion thread bcos too many people were saying ur take is trash lmao

#

aint no way ur trying to "no u" me right now

#

google spelling of definition xd

#

as opposed to what? u acting like i dont know the definition of a word i used?

#

not to mention, it all coming from me saying u threw a tantrum and all u said back was basically "nuh uh ur throwing a tantrum!!!!"

#

this is the most embarrassing hill to die on

#

what is it that u think tantrum means?

#

thats not what i asked

#

i mean its not just that, its a bit more specific but ofc u wouldnt, oh i dunno, google a definition

#

oh....

#

yes i was being a bit hyperbolic and now u have fixated on one word for like 15 minutes bcos u just had to like treble down on trying to say i dont know what tantrum means

#

while also not even being able to say what it actually means urself btw

#

kinda yikes

#

u said a vague and therefor wrong definition, which i would let slide if u hadnt been so obnoxious and telling me to google the definition as if i dont know what a simple word means

pure depot
#

get a room guys

autumn crest
#

this could read as bursting out laughing, thats an outburst of emotion, are u really, truly going to die on the hill that u didnt word this poorly at the very least?

#

its very specifically anger, not "emotions", again proving u refuse to ever accept that ur wrong

#

oh look, not actually responding to a point yet again

#

damn u love living up to all my criticisms of u at every opportunity while still denying them being right

#

yes, are u going to seriously argue joy isnt an emotion now?

#

and crying isnt necessarily a tantrum, like i said its specifically anger, how are u still getting it wrong after being so obnoxious about this

#

bro.......

#

all that negative applause u see all the time....

#

oh so now u dont want me to google the definition of words to prove u wrong? now thats a strawman? i see i see

#

no it isnt, its a completely different word....

#

also, lol

#

and for the last time, tantrum is specifically anger

#

i will simply stop with this argument, u are wrong, its clear that ur wrong, and i get the feeling english isnt ur first language so its very odd to me that ur arguing this much when it would be very easy to just say that and not look like this much of a weirdo

#

ur so embarrassing

#

damn bro u forgot ur punctuation in that one

#

that's*

#

and never putting full stops smh, how can u try to pass urself off as such a true intellectual without that?

#

why not

#

ur making up definitions and rules for words in ur head in a language that isnt even ur first language, why would i bother doing anything more when its this easy

#

are* btw

#

u reading that as a compliment shows ur understanding of english is a bit lacking ngl

shadow bronze
#

🍿

autumn crest
#

obviously

#

that sentence doesnt make sense btw

#

also, definition* again

#

what does that have to do with anything i said? the sentence u just typed doesnt make sense

#

the game will be fine

#

the funniest part of all of it is that ur awful suggestions for medic nerfs will never happen, ur sitting here calling everyone who tells u that ur takes are bad dumb and dying on this weird hill for nothing

#

i already said that i was being hyperbolic, i guess u dont know what that means tho so whatever
and this, once again, doesnt change the fact that the sentence does not make sense

#

"a very basic english terminology" i cba man this pseudo intellectual act is so embarrassing when u type shit like this that just isnt even grammatically correct, it would be so easy for u to just say "english isnt my first language my bad" but u cant even do that, u are completely unable to admit ur wrong about even something that would make complete sense for u to be wrong about

#

the exaggeration being that it was a tantrum (uncontrolled anger) when it was probably just u being a bit salty that everyone was saying ur dumb and wrong

#

im begging u, spell definition right one time if ur going to keep using it while trying to act smart

#

lol, lmao even

#

yes when u abandon ur own suggestion thread in like an hour after everyone is telling u that ur wrong it unquestionably comes across as salty

#

it doesnt help that ur only responses to people were calling them dumb, saying theyre wrong without reasoning and quoting ur own post and telling people to read it as if that changes the fact they thought it was a terrible suggestion that makes no sense

#

i do not care anymore man, u have proven ur not worth talking to, and theres no need to talk to u anyway bcos ur suggestion is so bad that it will never be implemented, cope and seethe every time a medic player is 5m away from u and doesnt revive u for the rest of the time ur playing this game

Just close this thread dude. Medics are good, just like how assault and engineer can be ,they both have light armour , ranger armour , heavy armour and medium armour. They also have smgs so there isnt a point to remove smgs and selfish medics are usually out in the open or under fire so they wont go for your body since its not worth the risk , also if a medic runs past you dont hold space, ive had numerous occasions where other medics revive me when the threat is neutralised. i am also aware of the medics that dont heal you when they are literally on top of you , however a nerf to medic wont stop this problem, just result in less or no medics meaning more selfish people in general. No point, just close the thread already im tired of people throwing insults at each other.

Medic and assault can be very fast

I disagree with most of the post. None of this would make Medics revive more often or heal you more often.

The problem is rather that Medic is the only clear choice for infantry combat, because Assault is very similar but without the ability to heal like a Medic. Many games, like the Battlefield series, fuse together Assault and Medic, which is what I would do even here.

If Medic has to stay as a separate entity, then yes I'd remove C4 and mines, and add utility options in their place, as those should be the tools that Assault, Engineer and Support should have for their roles, not Medic.

But why remove guns? SMGs are the category for CQB, which a medic will find themselves in plenty of times if they have to pick people up. Similarly, movement speed can be critical, and it also makes no sense to reduce self heal, as a Medic should also survive to heal others.

Reviving a person makes you a very easy target, the bandage is audible, and you are disarmed

Many times I got killed because when I try revive my teammates I got rushed by other person and nobody covers the medics when they're reviving people

still a bigger risk than... not reviving
