Medic

The Medic is a maniacal German scientist who is capable of healing his teammates and making them invulnerable for short periods of time. In 6v6, the Medic makes up a key component of the combo, along with the pocket Soldier. In Highlander, the combo usually consists of a Medic, Heavy, and Demoman. As the Medic does not need to focus on aim, Medics generally act as callers for their teams. However, in higher-level play, Medics who maincall aren't as common, mostly because they aren't as aware of the other team's position. A Demoman or Heavy may serve as a more accurate caller. Medic duties generally include keeping the team fully buffed, timing and leading pushes, and tracking enemy Übers. Skills required from a Medic differ from division to division. Generally, Medics are expected to die less, heal hurt teammates, and Über at the appropriate times. At higher levels, Medics who can surf, position themselves well, and defend themselves are more common.
