as a casual medic main I feel most of the experience is just either "wow that worked" or "wow that didn't work" with a sprinkling in of "what is my team doing" just for good measure.
the experience i get is i'm almost at full uber and i'm dead. i just got back to my team and i'm dead. wow the quick fix is the only medigun i can use.
Pretty sure the medic at 6:00 somehow got behind the enemy lines and thought "Ok, now what?" and they see you, the medic, and try to go for a medic kill, since there isn't much to do besides that. However, it seems that they failed in their task.
if you wait a few secs later you'll notice a blu demo being surrounded by the rest of the red team, those two probably over pushed and medic was just fighting for a way out (or trying to get a full uber and use it on demo)
@@bobatea2845 i actually use the amputator sometimes. Then i die to a explosive class materializing behind our lines at least once per day cuz I was taunting
You just don't see medics huffing uber guns much on casual and I forget it exists even though I run kritz often . Though it's also pretty rare that I'd be in a situation to use it, same as amputator - medic stood still stuck in taunt = death.
Theres so many times where i'll have a good Heavy and he'll decide to go way too aggressive with an Uber Charge and i'll just say "Screw it, going down with the ship!" Yeah I know I shouldn't but sometimes you just decide to do it anyways.
Well, if you already deployed the übercharge, it’s not too bad. Unless you’re like me and likes to play Discount Spy once the overextender dies to a random sentry
You can watch a hundred guides on how to play Medic, but remembering each one individually in a match can be hard. This sort of freeform "Here's a game I played, and what I thought while playing it" shows the exact mindset you need to keep in a bunch of different scenarios. The end result? It stuck in my subconscious and made me a better Medic for it. Thanks, Array!
A BMV is basically a medic's survival reflex It occurs when: - You see some roller pipes shashay into the chokepoint and you're at less than 100 health - You see a roamer heading for you or your pocket - You hear or see a decloak - You hear a minigun rev on the other side of the choke paired with the "full uber" sound effect on the medigun (especially this) etc
@@ArraySeven lmao thx. i just checked my recordings of that night. i wasn't playing too well, but i managed to get that caber kill from a better angle. just uploaded it here, ruclips.net/video/M8VZe30SKU0/видео.html
as a heavy main i can answer this easily see the answer is twofold, the first being the more obvious of the two retreating in the middle of a firefight is kind of a non-option for us. sure we can dip behind a nearby wall for cover but our movement more or less forces us to adopt the doctrine of "we don't half ass anything". if we move to a position we are committed to that position regardless of what situation that position is in when we get there. all you other guys have the freedom to change your decision after the fact. except maybe the soldier. and that's part of what separates a good heavy from a bad heavy. in order to maximize our effectiveness, we have to know more or less exactly what things are going to be like in any given place before we get there. we will kill the enemy or buy you time. as much as it may hurt you deep inside, we will almost always die in the positions we put ourselves in. now the second answer is less obvious but also the simplest. we don't play heavy to be babies. we are big angry gorillas with no concept of self preservation. our minds are focused on one thing and one thing only. devastation. self preservation is a concept for babies, medical practitioners and utility workers and we are none of those things. we will die with hope, however false, that our sacrifice (however dumb) will not be in vain. we tend our gun we shoot our gun and sometimes we contemplate literature it ain't much but it's honest work
4:40 Thank you for talking about this specific topic and explaining it. I always get annoyed when heavies eat their sandvich when they only have 100 hp at most of times and I'm already healing them.
Jesus christ, how many Bucket Helm unusuals you have? this is like the 6th one already. This series seems to be evolving into your bucket helm unusual showcase
Your narration on these videos and the _energy_ you provide with that is like everything that I love about the chaos and teamwork of every round of this game in audio form and it is exciting every time.
Can confirm, played Frontier offensively against a team with a kritz medic and a decent engineer. Our team wasn't bad, but we never had a chance, couldn't even make it to the last point
I love these videos so much! Thank you so much for making these, they really help me to play medic. The only reason I play him is because I just love helping my team and keeping them alive so we can win, and your videos just let me do so much better, and in turn, let my team do better
I really do appreciate this, the information is helpful, and I seriously do let down my team as medic quite often despite the fact that I seem to have near perfect crossbow aim. Thanks Array!
been watching you since 2015 and this series is definitely the best videos you've ever made!! i love your witty commentary, the sketches all over the screen and whatever! there's just something that's so much more engaging about watching actual gameplay instead of a guide, and the way you edit out all the down time and JUST focus on the good stuff is so great! how a spy thinks is good yeah, but i wish paladin cut sometimes like you do :D
Sometimes for f2ps, ignorance is bliss. When a moment of pure coincidence turns the tide of battle for a lonely F2P it is the most entertaining thing ever. If not for that Pyro that chad needle medic would’ve absolutely wasted his Uber long enough so Array is forced to saw him.
It's always amazing to see medic mains like you who care. I used to be a Medic Main until I tried out Demoknight and Spy and became a Demoknight main and Spy secondary. I still play Medic sometimes, of course. The only classes I don't play are Soldier, Demoman(not knight), Scout, and Sniper.
I am a new tf2 player and I am trying to play as a Medic. Thus series actually helped me a lot! I used to die a lot like, even 1-2mins and these videos actually helped me to survive longer! It’s really helpful for new Medic players.
The first time i played medic was in a pub where we were being rolled, 4 snipers 5 spies, 1 demo and me. More people ended up joining my team, had an über, pop it on the soldier and barely make it with less than 10 seconds. Jesus Christ This series helped me out a lot, and gave me tips that i didn't know of. Thanks!
Just wanted to say these videos are great! You don't put out many videos, in favor of making videos that require a lot of work, but this seems like a great way to pump out just a few more vids and they're incredibly entertaining. Keep it up!
Thanks to this video, long into the future, callouts will change to "BMV" and every medic on your team will have a small seizure every time they hear it in an attempt to avoid whatever's coming their way.
here's a bmv when you are saying "OH UH WELL UM OH WHY IS THERE A SPY wait i need to calm down but there. is. a good. sniper. so uh AND THERE'S AN UBER OH GOD ok it wore out, i need to calm down it's not like the entire ene- OH OK IM PSYCHIC UHHHHHH" (if you couldn't tell, i am a medic main and i am always panicking, but without you, i don't think i would be a medic, you are literally the only med youtuber so yeah)
amazing series, even though medic is one of my lesser played classes as a demo and spy main it helps me alot with survival and getting med picks, the edits and tone of the video are super entertaining and I always look forward to the next episode
Ohhh No! Heavy doesn't feel to good... Array I love the content and the jokes are superb. I would love to see a video about how you make these quick "Mr.P" style vids. Thanks you for all your hard work and staying with us(the tf2 community) all this time. Keep up the funny, educational work!
Yeah good video mate And thanks for giving credit for all the cool pyros out there. I had a couple of good medics as a pyro before and its really nice to get ubered in the right situation. +i keep medic as my secondary class so you allready got my unconditional attention. B.M.V is a thing what I will keep in mind, if I got nearby to a medic from now on.
@@twicethegalo I don't know, why do people dodge healing arrows? why do they call for med while you are healing them at 100% and then run away as soon as you charge them? Why do they refuse to use medkits and dispensers even when you have half the team at red health waiting for your heals?... Some people just don't care about meds, it's a hard job, but a rewarding one.
At 9:59 you could of jumped to railing, then rock, then through ‘window’ corridor thing back to spawn. Great little spot for Red spys to get to behind Blu as well.
Great video! These really help me with playing as medic, but something I struggle with is playing WITH a medic. Could you maybe bring up how to go about being pocketed as a power-class? I always get nervous when a medic pockets me as I simply dont know how to make the most of an uber / keep my medic out of danger. Thanks for reading!
Maaan, these videos really make me wanna go out there and play medic! But then I get in game, and it's just an unplayable mess owing to hackers. Thanks for the great content anyways.
Another great video of yours. It's always so fun to analyze those insane situations when no one really knows what is happening. Hope you'll make a few dozen of those videos before they sap the soul out of you.
regarding the username of the pyro who gets ubered around 5:30 - " 'Oumuamua " is the first observed insterstellar object to travel through our solar system, it was spotted in 2017 when it was 33 million miles away. it had just passed by the sun at that point. definitely look it up if you're into that.

I flipped out after you used a TAUNT to survive afterburn, i mean that is actually making me want to ditch the medigun for the kritzkrieg
-and you can ditch your ubersaw for the all new amputator! giving you a quick enough self heal rate afterburn does nothing!

I DIDN'T KNEW THAT ABOUT THE KRITZKRIEG TAUNT, THANK YOU
We need fanart of that godteir medic, that held down an uber to the cart
I want some of the wizard Pyro, not gonna lie.
