Team Service Announcement #21: “Pop it, Don’t Drop it“

The optimal time to activate an ÜberCharge is right before coming within range of a sentry nest, or entering an area heavily occupied by enemies. However, sometimes you can get ambushed or have your patient killed before you get a chance to use the charge. In this case, your best option is to activate the ÜberCharge prematurely to keep yourself from dying, and letting your patient take out the threat, push as far as you can with what’s left of the ÜberCharge, or allowing yourself to escape. This goes for any medigun. A sudden flash with the Kritzkrieg can be enough to save you and your patient from a surprise heavy attack. The Quick-Fix’s ÜberCharge can heal you enough to withstand any incoming damage while retreating, and can keep Pyros from air blasting you away from safety. The Vaccinator can also keep you safe from random critical attacks, or crit-boosted enemies. Bonus Tip: When you stop healing a player with your ÜberCharge activated, they will stay invincible for a short while. This means you can charge two players at once if need be. However, doing this will cause your ÜberCharge meter to drain faster, so don’t go trying to make your entire team invincible every time you get the chance. __________ “Team Service Announcement“ is a series where the common mistakes and unused strategies of new and inexperienced players are blown out of proportion and explained in an attempt to help those who make them, as well as make my life less horrible. If you know someone who’s new to the game, is in need of some pointers, or just want to spread the message, share the videos and help improve the community. If you’re a frustrated player who would like something addressed, or a new player who would like something explained, leave it in the comments section, and maybe I’ll animate it. __________ Music: Pendulum - Guns at Dawn Captain Jack - Dream a Dream __________ Get the Medic’s dance as a replacement for the “Meet the Medic“ taunt!
