Why should i be forced to switch to a demoknight just to kill a medic and his pocket, besides demoknight is countered by power classes.
The Vaccinator is only OP in casual IMO, where teamwork is a foreign concept. As soon as people learn to coordinate, you can overwhelm the Vacc combo.
It's basically a pubstomping nightmare.

No, it's just overpowered in general. The only time it's not overpowered is when you're in a competitive environment with restrictions on team sizes, class limits, and some weapons. No amount of teamwork will make 4 Heavies being pocketed by 4 Vacc Medics + there's still 4 other dudes not overpowered.

As a player who enjoys playing medic. I don't want to use vacc, it's so boring and it also feels unfair. So I have like only used it once the past 8 years.

It's because Medic is overpowered. In an extreme situation like yours, it's not the Vaccinator that's at fault. Against a coordinated team, your total Vacc resistances are gonna last the same duration as a stock Über. The only upside that it has over stock is the super low commitment, as you get Vacc resists really fast.

In that case, weaving in and out with different damage types and forcing the Medic to waste Über, until he has officially run out. Something casual players don't know how to do.

4 Medics + 4 Heavies was to demonstrate that teamwork does not overcome it, it isn't a skill issue. It doesn't matter if there's 1 Vac Medic, or 1 Vac Medic & 1 non-Vac Medic, or whatever. The point was that issues with the Vaccinator stem from the higher playercount and lack of restrictions making it so that losing Uber doesn't matter. In 6s losing Uber does matter because you only have 1 Medic and he's 1/6 of the team. How coordinated people are is irrelevant, what's relevant is the amount of players.

No, switching damage types also doesn't work if medic knows what he's doing.
No, using melee weapons also doesn't work if medic's pocket knows how to kill the obvious person who unironically runs to a medic with their melee.

The only semi-counter is pyro only because fire lowers your shield and healing.
Other than that either outperform or out number the vacc medic and pocket combo.

If they have a team backing them up, just hope your team also have a vacc medic.
