Now, this post is for the people who skip because they don’t wanna wait for a medic to revive them. I understand sometimes you wanna switch kits, spawn at an other location to help cap the point or defend the point etc. There are legitimate reasons for skipping. But honestly, the people who skip just because they don’t wanna wait have some serious issues. Maybe some of these people have severe ADD and are on meds. And if you haven’t been diagnosed with such, I suggest you go to a doctor and have yourself checked out. If you can’t wait like 10 secs or whatever you might have some serious underlying health issue that needs to be address ASAP. The amount of people that skip when I’m literally on my way to revive them or like 5m away is beyond ridiculous. I understand there are some crap medics out there, but for the love of all that is good and evil, if theres a medic that close you might as well wait to see if he revives you because honestly you have to wait to spawn anyway. I’ve died so many times going out of my way to revive someone only to have them skip out (the white bar hadn’t gone away yet so you can tell) the second I get there. Then I die. Sorry, just a rant
P.S. To the people who don’t understand sarcasm and being overly dramatic, well, thats the point of this post. I obviously don’t think all these people have ADD.
Is there really a reason to start saying people have mental health issues just because they don’t do what you want? Maybe you’re the one who needs to go see a doctor.
Hey, I’m trying to help them out, maybe they don’t know they have an issue. I would want someone to do the same for me.
Maybe, just maybe, I’m being overly dramatic to further push my point across. Sure there are other ways that could have been done, but this over the top sarcastic comment I decided to go with felt right.
There’s plenty times when i respawn, and see people spawn around me, and then i see them get killed not 10 seconds later barely firing a shot, then skip out. I know darn well you didnt need ammo fool! lol
Sometimes I skip revive when bad medics try to revive me in combat without neutralizing the threats so I die again instantly it’s annoying to say the least.
If you are in a heavy firefight, then there is no sense in waiting on a medic if he is close 'cause you are going to get shot again.. the medic probably too. However I don’t think many people understand that the time it takes you to lay on the ground and wait on a medic is the exact time you have to wait if you skip and go the main screen. Unless you are just wanting to change classes or whatever, you should have patience enough if a medic is around.
With that being said, I can not tell you how many times a medic is actually standing, laying or sitting on my dead body and NOT revive me. So if you like playing medic and yet you keep finding you must have a faulty syringe… please put on a rifle grenade or something.
Thanks for your insight into the “pointless subject”. Sounds like a waste of your valuable time to even post in here considering how you feel on the matter. Again, thanks for your productive insight.
Yeah I agree, there is a time and place to skip. Heck, I skip depending on the situation. I’m merely speaking to the people to skip when it’s safe and there is no one around except team mates because they don’t want to wait. But like you said, it takes the same amount of time either way hahaha.
Well, considering 99/100 things posted on here “won’t change anything” I consider myself part of the status quo. Today I decided to post a rant on something that discourages me to no end, yeah it’s not productive I know. I wasn’t looking to make a difference and didn’t expect my post to change the world either.
There are many good reasons to skip. If you find yourself dying going to someone who is skipping they may well have been skipping because they knew their corpse was guarded, which is the number one great reason for skipping.
The most annoying thing to me as a medic is people who don’t use skip when they know damned well that if I attempt a revive I’ll probably die too.
^ this is usually the case for me. but when having a good game, I’ll wait around forever for a medic to revive me.
As a note to medics:
I don’t want to hear any complaining about revive skips until you stop standing on my head and then run off or until you learn to look at the minimap for dead teammate icons around you. More times than not, I’ll get killed with a medic ( usually on my squad) right in front of me and the slug just keeps running.
