[...] medic is good to start with in pubs. medic is bad to start with in comp.

No I mean I started out in comp as medic and got on well, just basically play what you like no point playing a class you don't like, give them all a shot and see which takes your fancy the most :)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=12456&post=214324 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:55:52 +0200 Reply by Nick https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12456/page-3/?recent=214324#post=214313 Quoted from octochris

[...] lol, what? if you think this, you're doing it wrong. Medic is a bad class to start out with as they should ideally be the person doing the main calling and directing the team, if you don't know the names of places and the tactics so well yet it would be better to be directed than to direct.

You need to read the whole sentence, I said just after that: "(this isn’t quite true imo, you pretty much need the best dodging and comms on the team if you’d like to actually stay alive)." It's a different kind of skill as the most common perception of it in gaming (which is usually based on DM ability)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=12456&post=214313 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:23:59 +0200 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12456/page-3/?recent=214324#post=214170 Quoted from Vazzan

playing medic is ez. Point n'click.

[...] lol, what? if you think this, you're doing it wrong.

By skill he meant eye-hand coordination. You'd do better if you won't jump straight into comp scene. If you really want to get into this, play like... 20 hours? on each comp class on pubs, then choose one that fits you and you have most fun playing with and just then get into specifics. Don't read a ton of guides from the start as you might then know the details, but miss the whole point. Step by step, sir. Pubs, lobbies, pugs, mentoring, season 9, div1 etc.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=12456&post=214058 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:36:14 +0200 Reply by waebi https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12456/page-3/?recent=214324#post=214054 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=12456&post=214054 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:31:13 +0200 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12456/page-3/?recent=214324#post=214051 Quoted from Lynn

It may not require as much "skill" as the other classes

im surprised no1 has mentioned medic. Medic imo is one of the easier classes to play, you really only need to have good gamesense, dodging skills and knowledge of heal order to make you an alright medic.

i didn't go into great detail :D but yeah, i did meantion it, and tbh, for a new player with css experience, he'll just get raged at. better for him to try other classes, cos then he'll know what to do as medic better, and then he'll not get raged at (as much) if he tried it out.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=12456&post=214044 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:04:40 +0200 Reply by Nagash https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12456/page-2/?recent=214324#post=214043 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=12456&post=214043 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:01:28 +0200
