All talk was on tonight, so I may be mistaken that this was directed at someone else but I still think it's worth saying. I will probably get infracted for this but I don't care.
Whoever swore and called me (or someone else) a "worthless medic" can suck a dick. At the time I was trying to keep 4 people alive at once and none of them was shooting the pyro killing me. (Which was happening a lot tonight.) If you are such an authority on good medic playing you can damn well play it yourself and shut the hell up.

It takes balls to put up with the kinda shit medics have to go through.
After two weeks of working with Valve Support with some general troubleshooting tips, they have at last asked me to help debug the recent performance degradation issues with the team directly.

Why are you not using -noborder -window?
I am *now*. But I get a choppier framerate than I did before.

That's kind of the point. On the list of things that medics hate with a passion, a dumb-ass soldier running around yelling for a medic with an equalizer out is pretty high up there. In this case, he was doing it on purpose to grief him for a bit.
Also on the list: Scouts that decide running frantically around the medic is better than standing still, people who adamantly refuse to believe that hurting yourself in spawn doesn't help with the uber, and when someone confuses a kritz for an uber and gets themselves immediately killed.

People calling for help just out of range of your medgun, who then decide to run away from you. Come back, damn it, I'm trying to save your life!
I always rocket jump around the spawn so I can get in the groove. I also practice shooting specific things in the spawn with the hunstman so I don't get rusty, so if you notice the fire alarm with a dozen arrows in it that was me practicing my aim.

I hate it when people are almost dead, then run right back into the line of fire as soon as they notice you're healing them. I just let them die and heal someone who isn't a waste of space :P
I also hate it when people aren't patient enough to just hang back and wait their turn (preferably at a dispenser, when available) and instead keep popping around a corner to take more damage. Hey chucklenuts, if you haven't taken any damage recently I can heal you much faster. Especially you, fatty. Shut up or eat a fucking sandvich, you take enough of my attention when we push since you actually need the healing when focus fired...assuming you can actually aim (a rare trait among heavies).
My theory is that the heavy is so fat that his own personal gravity field is what attracts bullets to him, seeing as how lead isn't magnetic.
Heh, medics are so bad they can't even target scouts with their autoaim gun
8-)
Nah, it's just that scouts are generally so useless that they aren't worth more effort to heal than a class that actually gets shit done, like a soldier or demoman.

Bah. Unless you're in some high stakes tournament, there's really no reason to bitch at someone for (perceived) poor performance. Be a part of the community or don't. There's no "be a fucking prick" in between.

I get the same enjoyment from using the FaN for jumping, and it doesn't annoy medics.
Yeah, just to be clear: Dicking around in spawn is A-okay. It's just when you run into Stubborn McJackass who is frantically mutilating himself and telling you to heal him to "get dem ooberz". This happens to me much less frequently now that I've found you fine gents.
EDIT: You'd be surprised at the bottled rage within the medics. It's part of the job. There's no other class whose job relies so heavily on the intelligence and consideration of the the rest of the team.
also the other night i was playing heavy and i think i got healed maybe once
it was the only way we were going to counter the enemy's heavy medic combo... you think that soldier you ran off to heal is going to do much? it takes four fucking rockets to kill a heavy that ISN'T overhealed

attacking gravelpit C, they had like 5 soldiers up there spamming away
he was healing me, had a full uber, I blew my buff banner, spammed E a bit, turned the corner and then he went and healed a sandviching heavy
I proceeded to eat at least 2 crit rockets
then I spent much of the next round running around on 50hp with the equalizer behind him calling for medic

Oh god. Just reading that made my blood pressure rise and the little vein on my forehead pop out.
My personal favourites are the sniper on the ground laughing, and the spy tripping over the corpse.

I basically never uber heavies. They're only incrementally better candidates than snipers or spies. I'll kritz them, sure, but ubering them is stupid.
Why are you not using -noborder -window?
But if I know you're a good demoman and can get results, it's heal city

Instead of a beam, it heals everyone in the cone of fire. The pellets could look like little hearts.
