(these groups are to see which class is most popular.)
The Medic is the primary healing class in Team Fortress 2. They are typically found near the front-lines, healing wounded team-mates while trying to stay out of trouble. The Medic carries mediocre weaponry (if mastered, he can fight as well as other classes), as his main focus is to heal other players using the Medigun. While the Medigun is focused on an ally, that ally gets an additional bonus of up to 150% of his maximum health. If the medic stops healing, that bonus health will slowly degenerate back to the maximum health for that class. This bonus is called overheal or buffing. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up to full, at which point he may make himself and an ally invulnerable or give his patient 100% crits for up to 8 seconds. The Medic was the first class to receive an official achievements pack. For completing 10, 16, and 22 achievements, the medic receives one new weapon: the Blutsauger, the Kritzkrieg, and Übersaw, respectively.
The Medic is the only class capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. If the Medic just took damage, he regenerates at 3 HP per second. This healing rate scales up over the next ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second. Carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3..6 to 1..4.

as it states at the top these groups are to see which class is most popular.
reason for my idea is that steam are collecting how much each class is used but that's not the same as the classes people like most.
