Medic 101: Getting Started

[@Theory-Y]

Sorry for the long delay in uploads! I started 2 other videos, then decided to make this medic 101 series and just go through everything medic in sequential order. I know this vid likely doesn't have any new ideas/tips for many of you since it's a beginner's guide, but stay tuned; I got some juicy, well-seasoned content coming.

[@mattthekiller9129]

Hey no worries man 👍 Always appreciate the work you put behind your videos

[@AnnaSue81]

love this new series. the delays in uploads is fine cuz even if its a big delay ur still gonna upload, and if it gets lower views it shows that u have a loyal audience that still watch u

[@tomix7866]

Don't know why, but your videos are so motivating.

[@imhungryletseat2303]

At least judging from this vid: Theory-Y is *hype* about practicing medicine! He correctly refers to Medic as TF2's best class, since he promotes strategy and logistics (who's the most useful über-patient? who should I heal or buff atm?) His Medic guides are devoid of obligated tone of having to play, or worse-yet resentment of, Medic. The influencing power of the good doctor and his kit is given full spotlight; kill count is an alien metric to success when you control the flow of healing I just really like playing Medic

[@JrdnKritz]

it's funny how medic's secondary should be primary and medic's primary should be secondary , great vid btw

[@2EntireLegs]

It's the law that your primary has to be a range weapon and your secondary can be whatever the hell you want sadly

[@chiefoftheoldgods8912]

You're right. The reason we play medic is because there are none or they're ass. Almost 700 hours. 700 hours of self-deprecation and livid rage.

[@aspectofthecat1337]

Eh, personally I just enjoy playing him.

[@BlueBird1994_]

@@aspectofthecat1337 me too :) and I just recently reached 100hrs. so still relatively inexperienced but getting there.

[@sprucemoose6311]

Thank you for your service

[@ДелчоРаднев]

Check out his kill at 4:36...Christ, that was some nice prediction/aim!

[@nickmilano2516]

They just straight up, went robotic

[@Thintech1]

When I started playing TF2 last year, I started as Medic and I eventually became a pretty good Medic. I was decent enough from the beginning because most of what I should have been doing was common sense, I can't express how annoying it is for your teammates to just let you die. It hurts to know they don't care about you on any class, but it hurts the most on Medic because of the lack of kill options.

[@SupaThePotato]

theres one major thing you forgot to tell new players: medic lost his medical license

[@danmercer1171]

I was playing rivals when this came on and was like "huh, I usually have the music off"

[@Manavine]

"These classes are always a safe bet to pop off" The soldier that immediately turns around right when I pop an uber because he's dueling someone and actually wants to be honorable about it:

[@Boomstick___]

Boomstick has arrived, and I rate this 10/10 theory sheckles

[@Pumpkincolonthree]

*"At no point when playing medic should you ever be looking to fight an enemy."* Battle Medics: *I missed the part where that's my problem.*

[@moonlightning8269]

It’s crazy how many otherwise normal medics will chase a spy with their ubersaw across the map straight into the enemy team or a trickstab. They seem conditioned to think spies are free uber if they spot them first lol

[@Pumpkincolonthree]

@@moonlightning8269 literally me

[@Orthros]

Played with you earlier today on Uncletopia, was fun :) as a decent Medic, I really enjoy the challenge of trying to juggle heals on half a dozen targets while also keeping an eye out for threats. He's easily the most important class in the game, and it's satisfying to see the enemy team crumble, knowing that my superior healing likely made a big difference.

[@Gilgwathir]

I recently picked up TF2 again, because YT suggested a stupid "put dispenser here" meme from back in the day. I have around 350 hours in played and about 250of these are Medic. I greatly appreciate your vids for getting back into the game :-)

[@urgadurga]

it's insane how useful the videos on this channel are. ive searched "tf2 medic" a LOT and nothing really comes close to the tips and stuff that these videos provide in such a condensed amount of time. very appreciated.

[@koromonbubby8270]

Thanks mate! I haven't really played medic at all in my 1k+ hours in tf2 and after mainly spy and targetting medics I thought, "huh I should play medic to know whats in thier mind" and now I main it.

[@spookini5521]

Considering some of my buddies wanna get back into tf2 your guides for medic have been encouraging me to pick up my medi gun and dust it off

[@KrzysGold]

8:32 bro that was godly timing

[@taureon_]

yep! that was too close

[@kolkagaming1234]

As a player who used to be a Beginner I can confirm that Medic is a good choice for Beginners.

[@gmanplaysgames256]

9:40 Sniper jumpscare

[@TheActualDP]

it begins! so keen to see the rest of this series

[@mylles1112]

It's strange that medic was my first peak when i started playing the game and till this days he still my first and favorite main.

[@otsu3011]

the amount of damage that heavy tank in the beginning lol

[@MeestahreL]

As a fellow medic main, although, not as experienced, I can ABSOLUTELY confirm that this is a great guide for beginners. Also, this made me think of one interesting fact: There are three types of medics(excluding the [generic Array7 stereotype]): -The Holy Medicinal Man(uses stock or quick, tries to help his team, failing miserably due to them not realising his efforts(for now I'm here!)) -The Sinner(pocket medic, either STOCKing the phlog pyro, or stuffing his demo/soldier/heavy pocket with CRITZ(fuck them, and everyone around them

[@lone_dancer]

A lovely video, thanks for making it

[@professionalidiot7208]

honestly most helpful channel ever FACT

[@umtaldeeu6878]

this video is very well done and makes me want to improve my medical skills

[@blacklight683]

4:45ty idk why medics never heal me when am a demo like come on you know I can do huge damage in short time and sticky jumping takes a lot of health plz man. And no I don't suck(I do)but when I change to Soldier or heavy now medics heal me. And when the game starts and am a medic I heal the demo for the sticky jump then Soldier so he can rocket jump longer and a scout so I can reach med a little bit faster then I can play normally

[@basilvitamin8878]

would love to see videos analyzing competitive 6v6 medic gameplay/strategies

[@Das_Psycho]

Great video!! Perfect introduction for any medic player 👍

[@protagify6553]

You have some good taste with the RoA music. Great video!

[@catke590]

Underrated video, this was inspiring and entertaining. Keep the good job, med is fun.

[@holaadios8093]

YOU.ARE.SO.FUCKING.UNDERRATED.

[@cafeka545]

This video was very cool, by the way can you make medic 101 video about positioning?

[@Theory-Y]

Yup! I'm planning on doing everything then combining it all into a complete medic guide eventually.

[@engine4403]

From what Ive seen medics have the highest amount of suicidal tendencies out of all the nine classes. The amount of times ive seen meds run straight at me is not only insane but also disrespectful towards me, my aim and sasha. I swear. Someone needs to beat these guys into submission.

[@carbonatedflouride9728]

Me knowing damn well that i'll never main medic: I should watch this entire series...

[@aspectofthecat1337]

I probably don't need this, but I hope this helps someone!

[@tpruitt92]

Rivals of Aether tune is too good

[@EdwardRichtofen69]

Nothing can match the dopamine rush I get from healing teammates and helping them win gunfights

[@tyro4634]

Medic is insane. I managed to heal 16k health points in a single match with ease and I barely play him. The crossbow also activates the same neurons as hitting crit flares which is a plus since that's my favorite thing to do in the game.

[@benismann]

11:20 this is me playing as honestly any class

[@Ix99oblivion]

Good video. Hope the next ones come soon.

[@xeanderman6688]

8:33 I jumped in fear when I spotted 1 HP. Worst feeling ever, especially when playing as a squishy class like medic

[@theresMadcows]

Good job covering every possible base with this video, in case the viewer is new or stupid. But it's unlikely that most viewers have a clue about what this all means, because most of them are located on the opposite side of the internet bubble. In fact, I am in one such bubble, in the U.S. Fortunately I have what I am calling the necessary expertise to explain it to the entire world. Welcome to the alternative world of offshore shell companies and associated finance. It’s time for everyone to wake up.

[@friendlyhobo6483]

Sadly no matter how good of a medic you are. All it takes is for the opponent team to have 1 good sniper to basically shut it down.

[@ДелчоРаднев]

You can try and stay of sight and not peak too much. Plus you can have Vaccinator on bullets which can be helpful too, I guess.

[@BlueBird1994_]

Snipers, especially really good/tryhardy ones, are the bane of my existence as a Medic main. if I had a dollar for how many times I've died to them, I'd be rich. lol.

[@RandomRyan]

Great stuff.

[@olexoz1505]

They should make the third degree throwable, with the downside that you don't have a melee weapon for 30 seconds. Cannot random crit, but damage is increased with distance traveled. Acts like the flying guillotine

[@olexoz1505]

Watching this to yell actually helpful advice at my team's medics, who don't even know how to read yet.

[@ReposalMC]

I love these videos so amazing

[@BlueBird1994_]

Nice video! really well put together, nice visuals, and a comprehensive starter guide. The dancing you!Medic was a nice touch at that one part xD and the end, jeez, those players are totally braindead and not know the importance of defending their medics or efficiently utilizing Ubers given to them :p

[@quitequeerquesadilla]

That advice is awesome and all, but holy shit if it wasn’t easy to get distracted by those gameplay clips-look at those damn crossbow hits!!! Your teams were all super lucky to have you

[@thesamdolorian8530]

Good job mein freund

[@berkaykaracan3003]

Why can't I Kritz a Turtle Engie?

[@ChargedBonsai98]

10:55 its no wonder so many medics name their medi gun "dumbass leash"

[@VonTachyon]

What's the HUD you're using? It looks awesome!

[@justragnar8667]

I believe its toonhud

[@FBombFitzgerald]

Wait, does that mean vitasaw-syringe gun- quick fix is NOT the best Medic loadout? *runs to take down my last video* In all seriousness, loved the editing in this one.

[@thesamdolorian2262]

0:26 Engie mains: angry Texas noises

[@baguette8425]

Hey! ive seen some of your videos and noticed you somehow do a perfect 180 to check for a spy or shoot an arrow and im wondering how you do that. I would love to use that in game. (it was in TF2 | The ULTIMATE Huntsman Guide! at roughly 2 minutes in)

[@AzureTheAvian]

Nothing has made me hate spy more than playing Medic. I know it’s my fault, but sometimes it just feels like spies will dedicate their lives to taking me down. I turn around, no spy. I turn around, no spy. I turn around, still no spy. I spend 2.5 seconds crossbow-ing a low demoman, and immediately get stabbed by a spy that immediately dies for it afterwards. And the same cycle happens over and over and over again, no matter how much I try and spin like a beyblade to keep an eye out for them.

[@chobets]

im already a medic main and dont really need it.. but dammit your videos are so entertaining!

[@Pablo.Minecraft.2007]

Thanks

Is this music from Rivals???

Instructions unclear. I accidently picked scout

[@leith451]

we play together all the time! (crack pipe gaming) you're a really smart player, i'll definitely learn from your videos

[@androste3919]

Found a medic main youtuber

[@Mletto]

yes

[@skree272]

So i played medic in a match and kept jumping into los of a sniper, one dude told me there was a sniper, im f2p so i was trying to bait the sniper to be countersniped

[@littlepolska2386]

Mate, where can I download your HUD?

[@bidzz7262]

his discord server

[@KonoDarknessDa]

question, what if your team really bad?

[@jacobzik7072]

When will you upload another Medic 101 video? Will you upload these videos regularly?

[@shad0w2393]

How is your HUD like that?

[@lyell63]

Great guide! One small thing, sometimes dropping is better than popping.

[@JetstreamsamTF2]

What hud do you have?

[@chairwood]

i like rivals of aether

[@SirMalorak]

trying to learn medic rn and EVERYONE JUST RUNS AWAY FROM ME. Literally everyone. I don't even know why I play it. In other lobbies people stick to their medic and help him...ugh

[@unusualfrog779]

How you gonna be saying you should never go for kills as medic when you hit that schnasty crossbow snipe on that demo 4:36

[@namvutranngoc6945]

because crossbow + solemn vow

Why is every medic main unable to fight. You don't just heal as medic, you save lives.

[@Only4two100bucks]

Because healing, buffing and Ubering players is how you save lives
