I loved using syringes, but sadly the crossbow, in its "I provide massive healing to allies near and especially far" state, there's nothing they could do that would ever make the needle guns viable - unless they were to add a healing ability to them - that would be fun.

that would be like a higher heal rate than the medigun w/out crit heals

I love the crossbow! I probably wouldn't ever really care to play medic without it.

It does have a downside however. I often times will see bad medics way over using it, trying to heal their teammates from just a few feet away with it, the teammate doges and they miss the arrow. In that same amount of time, they could have easily healed them up with their medigun and gotten a few percent closer to having an ubercharge.

The other thing that is slightly annoying is some people (especially in lobbies) seem to try to juke your arrows causing you to miss. If you need an arrow either walk in a forward predictable pattern, or crouch out of harms way and call for an arrow. Moving then suddenly stopping often makes the medic miss due to them trying to predict your next position.

The other thing I see some medics doing that overuse the crossbow, is they will fire some spam arrows at the enemy when their own team is in need of heals. Yea those arrows can sometimes be very useful especially if you peg the enemy medic with a 75 damage arrow, but really you should make sure everyone nearby has a full buff before firing some spam arrows.

I'm no med main but these are just a few things I've noticed.
