Pretty sure the medic at 6:00 somehow got behind the enemy lines and thought "Ok, now what?" and they see you, the medic, and try to go for a medic kill, since there isn't much to do besides that. However, it seems that they failed in their task.

[@Tinkatube]

You can watch a hundred guides on how to play Medic, but remembering each one individually in a match can be hard. This sort of freeform "Here's a game I played, and what I thought while playing it" shows the exact mindset you need to keep in a bunch of different scenarios. The end result? It stuck in my subconscious and made me a better Medic for it. Thanks, Array!

[@mr-cactus1519]

A BMV is basically a medic's survival reflex It occurs when: - You see some roller pipes shashay into the chokepoint and you're at less than 100 health - You see a roamer heading for you or your pocket - You hear or see a decloak - You hear a minigun rev on the other side of the choke paired with the "full uber" sound effect on the medigun (especially this) etc

[@aganaom1712]

as a heavy main i can answer this easily see the answer is twofold, the first being the more obvious of the two retreating in the middle of a firefight is kind of a non-option for us. sure we can dip behind a nearby wall for cover but our movement more or less forces us to adopt the doctrine of "we don't half ass anything". if we move to a position we are committed to that position regardless of what situation that position is in when we get there. all you other guys have the freedom to change your decision after the fact. except maybe the soldier. and that's part of what separates a good heavy from a bad heavy. in order to maximize our effectiveness, we have to know more or less exactly what things are going to be like in any given place before we get there. we will kill the enemy or buy you time. as much as it may hurt you deep inside, we will almost always die in the positions we put ourselves in. now the second answer is less obvious but also the simplest. we don't play heavy to be babies. we are big angry gorillas with no concept of self preservation. our minds are focused on one thing and one thing only. devastation. self preservation is a concept for babies, medical practitioners and utility workers and we are none of those things. we will die with hope, however false, that our sacrifice (however dumb) will not be in vain. we tend our gun we shoot our gun and sometimes we contemplate literature it ain't much but it's honest work
