Meta reliable proposal for current medic class nonsense

[vestal hound]

Medic class is not good. It is not usefull, it is not fun to play, unless you want to RP.

It just does not fit in the current game meta.

Here is a proposal for making it more useful, without changing the meta.

Support class is basically a rifleman with support boxes. Which is good!
Just redo it like the support class is done: Make it a rifleman that boost healing.
1- Make loadout similar to rifleman: Same main weapon & same munition amount
2- Keep smoke grenade only (2 or 4 depending on the loadout)
3- Most important part with first point: Give an AOE radius arround the medic to make allies bandage twice as fast when they are in the AOE of an alive medic.
4- Keep twice as fast bandaging for the medic and infinite bandage for the medic, cause yeah, it's a medic
5- Provide bandage supply box. It is not really useful, but it exists so it does not hurt to keep it
6- Make revive be full revive, without the need of bandaging

Once this is done, you will see mucha more medic on the battlefield, and you will never heard anyone complains about medic in this game

[EDIT] - Add point 6

Faster bandaging in an AOE seems very gimmicky and I doubt it'd make a big difference anyway. Just giving the medic a more combat viable loadout like you suggested should be enough.

Have you noticed that the British medic has the normal ammo amount comparing to other classes? Unlike other factions' medics that have just 2 or 4 magazines.

I would say medics having low ammo is something that only the old dev team came up with while Team17 actually completely disregards or didn't know it is being a thing in the 1st place. But they need to give the ammo to other factions' medics too indeed.

Fast bandaging is great, and I think this is where the "medic" is the most useful.
AOE is here to benefit this feature without waiting for the medic to come to you.
But yeah, no real impact here. Just a little enjoyable boost

The main issue about the medic is that when somebody gets downed it's usually faster to just redeploy than to wait for a medic to revive and bandage you. Therefore just removing the need to bandage the revived player would already improve the medic situation by a lot

[vestal hound]

Very true.
Added this in the list

This might have been a decision on Blackmatter's behalf when they still worked on U14 but afterwards the T17 devs weren't aware that this was changed or this was meant to be applied to the other factions.
