Needing heals vs needing to give heals


(Press E) #1

When playing medic, why is the cross symbol above a teammate with low HP the same as a friendly medic when your HP is low? I’m over level 400 and I still get tripped up by this sometimes.

Firesupports have the same issue afaik, although it’s not as much of a big deal since you’ll rarely see a firesupport low on ammo.

Why SD, why did you use the same symbol? Why must you confuse me so! D:

I think I vaguely remember this being changed in Ranked after Season 2? Can anyone confirm? I thought it was in the patch notes or on one of Shoe’s YT announcements. Wasn’t it also around the time they changed over from the old HUD/healthbars to the newer ones too? I don’t know. Maybe my memory is shot and I’m thinking of something else. Regardless, this sucks if it’s still like this. Admittedly I’ve never noticed because I hardly play Medic anymore.

The best way to be a Medic is to kill the bad guy before he injures your teammate. At least that’s something I can control. I have no control over dumb teammates that like to be a bullet sponge. Words of wisdom from yours truly. Keep calm and frag on.

Sometimes I just like that sweet sweet XP when you revive the same person 4 times in under 10 seconds and they keep running back into the fire, lol
