Medic & Engineer are Boring

[jungus]

Both classes are super bland, and the only way to have fun on them is to throw the game.

They’re also very boring to fight against.

I find Medic relaxing at times, though occasionally matches become frenzied, needing to build uber quickly and avoiding death. I feel this could remove boredom possibly, technically by being concentrated and consistently occupied. Engineer leans towards it more than Medic, I feel, personally.

As long as you're conscious of your surroundings, Medic is a cakewalk. Engineer might as well be afk simulator unless you run around with a shotgun, but then at that point just play Scout.

I don't really see TF2 as a relaxing game because the fun part is gameplay, and both Medic and Engineer are the antithesis of that; they're nothing.

Boring to play, unfun to fight. At least they're not sniper though, who averages 3 kills per 15 matches

have you played ghost town as medic? https://youtu.be/gO5mnEiOq0E ending bit its very stressfull and i didnt throw (I LOVE HELL)

You lack imagination.
You've never played as a sneaky stealth engineer who sneaks around behind enemy lines and leaves sentries in unexpected places.

I wouldn't call it "throwing" but you can have fun as both classes by playing more risky and aggressive than would be meta. Battle medic and battle engie can both be pretty fun as long as the other team aren't entirely tryhard soldier/demos trying to stomp.

Both of them are boring, but also pretty necessary for the team. Medic can heal nearby teammates, prolonging pushes or defenses, and these can win the round alone.
Engineer is well... he is engineer. But his teleport is one of the best ways to make a shortcut to the front, or behind the enemy's back for a surprise attack.

I already said the most fun you can have on Emgineer is throwing, you don't need to reiterate that.

Or I could play Soldier, Demo, Scout, Heavy, or Pyro and actually contribute to the match while not frustrating people by throwing.

It's only throwing if the entire server is full of tryhards playing their absolute sweatiest. By that logic demoknight is throwing, because it's not the most effective way to play demo. Market gardener soldier is also throwing then.

You can contribute to the game without playing the 100% most meta way, especially on a normal pub. A lot of the people on these servers aren't even that good at the game, so you don't need to be a 20-killstreak all-stock soldier to help your team win.

Medic isn't boring. It's stressful because everyone wants your ass, and an average Scout or Soldier will succeed in getting your ass. It's like playing TF2, but it's a horror game.
In other words: It's not boring, it's masochistic.

Engineer can be boring, but it's because most people do boring stuff. Standing in the same spot and constantly whacking your sentry is boring. Playing more actively would make Engineer feel more fun, even though there are still many boring things about Engi, depending on how much you enjoy builder classes.
Battle Engineer is a fun and viable playstyle too, especially because you force your opponent to fight two entities at once.

Also, many would instead use the word "relaxing". Some use it as a euphemism, others are genuinely enjoying the laid-back gameplay (or in the case of Medic, very frequently the newly discovered circle of hell).

Classic scapegoating of "tryhards". Also yes, playing Demoknight is 100% throwing in every situation.

You quite literally need to carry your team to win in most matches. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that most casual matches are determined by only 3-4 players out of the 24.
