Has there ever been a game where playing as the medic was actually fun?

[Aya]

Thought i'd make this thread cuz my memory of the Medic in TF2 involved constantly getting countered by random spam, and a more recent example being Chivalry 2's footman often getting dogpiled by five different guys before he can even be of any use to his team.

Meanwhile, the only game I can think of where a healing specialist can do a lot of damage in a satisfying manner was the Methuss from the now defunt Gundam Evolution, though its combination of offensive and supportive abilities were balanced out by being the largest mech in the game (translates to being easier to bodyshot to death)

Invite sent I like nurses too

Hmm..
Not a medic per-se, but support.
Yeah, I'd go with Overwatch.
I do enjoy playing as support more than trying to play DPS who do only focus on dealing damage and tank whose primary focus is to help taking the space and helping the team with keeping it.. While as a support I can offer some healing, deal some damage.. A mix of nearly everything.

i think it is overwatch. they have been catering a lot to healers with the ability to damage and heal in some new characters. but it is a class based game and most everyone who has a brain will kill healers first when they can expect some games like battlefield when med role is basically the assaulting role

i never found hardening or prolonging an already won or lost game fun. primarily this is what healers do.

Huuh, I don't know about that-
Anyway, if we were to go with that logic, then we can include the playful Reyna into the list aswell..

Depends on the context of when and where the healer is being played. Even if I hate playing as the Footman, I will still play as the Man-at-Arms on some objectives where my team has a much harder time going to a resupply, or have no access at all to a resupply crate. This can help keep a push going where they'd otherwise slow to a crawl due to the inability to restore health between fights

It's possible to know when and where playing as a medic would make sense in a multiplayer game, but I don't have to like it.

tf2 and WaW CoD

tf2 = massive support life line of the team next to heavy and engineer

WaW = fps but now you can give downed players morphine or something and boom back in action. Same with support ammo pack carriers.

Overwatch healer are overall pretty satisfying to use. I still play a lot of mercy and zenyatta to this day. Besides that if single player counts, BG3 cleric is quite satisfying to use too.

[Chaosolous]

Fun is subjective.

[Hot Girl Stuff]

Medic no but pedic maybe

[Lime]

Yeah, in Paladins, I adored playing as Ying. I was the ultimate healer. it didn't matter if I picked thge weakests character. in the entire lifetime of the game I never lost. She was perfect.

Main reason I find medic to be stressful is that often times, the Medic's biggest enemy is random spam, to the point where the enemy might accidentally kill you when they're trying to shoot someone else.

Meanwhile, every other class has their own means to avoid stray gunfire

Scout: Movement speed/double jump
Soldier: Explosive jumping
Pyro: Most non-hitscan attacks can be airblasted
Demoman: Shield charge or sticky jumps
Engineer hides behind his sentry
Heavy has his high health pool, so he can afford to eat a stray bullet or two
Sniper and Spy rely on stealth to avoid getting shot at all together

Medic in TF2 counters pretty much everything considering ubers. So I wouldn't say it's not fun considering it's super OP and makes literal aimbots ragequit.

Aside from that. medic is pretty fun in Battlefield games. BF1 medic is pretty strong. Back in the day, they had the most insane glitch for that game ever. Back then they changed dead player kit pick-ups in some way. It created the elite enemy kit glitch. You could first pick up the elite classes, then pick up a dead enemy's playerkit, but keep the super armour of the elite class. Picking up a medic class kit meant you were a god. Because you no longer needed to wait 1 minute to heal but still had super armour.

med is fun in tf2, if anything i think it's less stressful than other classes
