Welcome to the discussion page for the Medic medigun-replacement, the "Limewood Leg-Up". Here I will go into greater detail about the stats I came up with for this weapon. Feel free to cheer/jeer this, or add your own ideas to the pile.



Limewood Leg-Up


Level 38 Medigun

Ubercharge grants continuous firing without reloading and increases firing speed by 15%
+20% healing distance


I'm going to go ahead and call this ubercharge "Barrage". The point of this medigun is that it trades protection and damage for more chances to do damage. It follows the same vein as Kritzkrieg, in that it's primarily an offensive medigun. Rather than giving your patient a handful of chances to do maximum damage, you're giving them a large number of chances to do regular damage. This medigun also works well with a wider range of classes.


Ubercharge grants continuous firing without reloading and increases firing speed by 15%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When charged, the patient may fire their current weapon repeatedly without needing to reload. After they have exhausted the ammo in their clip, they continue firing from their reserve ammo. Once the charge completes, the patient will need to reload normally. For example, a Soldier firing at the beginning of an charge(assuming he has lightning reflexes) would be able to get off a maximum of 6 rockets with Stock. With a charge, he can fire 11 rockets at 15% faster firing speed. This effect could also be usable by classes that normally do not receive charges, like Scout, Sniper, Medic, Engineer, and potentially Spy.

The firing speed effect stacks with any melee weapon firing speed bonuses. This effect has no practical use for weapons that do not have clips(Minigun and Flamethrower). These no reload weapons still receive the 15% firing speed buff.


+20% healing distance
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This medigun has a slightly further reach than other mediguns. This was considered partly due to the fact that your healing target does not become super human when you charge him, and surviving without any sort of panic button or instant kill button might prove rather difficult. To keep the Medic further out of harms way, you can heal targets from 20% further away. This could be handy for situations where cover is sparse, or your healing target is particularly suicidal. This also promotes double charging targets, as you can keep further away from the action while the other Medic goes in with uber or kritz.



As a disclaimer, since these stats helped influence the design of this item. There is no demand, of Valve or the TF2 Team, that they be accepted or implemented. All time limits and percent values are adjustable. I'm also well aware stats on items do not get accepted, this is merely here for community discussion.
