Firstly, if the offense doesn't consist solely of medics any more, thats a good thing.

Secondly, if we made medics able to use their own medkits then we'd see a drastic drop in healing, since they would be saving their medkits for themselves.

Thirdly, if we made medics able to heal themselves to full all the time, it would break the game.

Fourthly, 90% of people don't throw medpacks yet, so we're still in a transitional phase where people are learning how to get the most out of their class. After this phase is over we'll be able to see what tweaks the medic needs.

(although getting a little HP back after healing a teammate is an interesting concept..)

I think the medkits need to last a little longer. Maybe 10 seconds? What is it now, 5?

I think it's a great idea to give medics a % back of what they heal, it encourages teamwork and healing, and rewards medics for being team players.

I think the medic, as it is now in 2.0, is perfectly balanced..

Perhaps two different percentages can be used. Say x% and y% where x > y.

When a player's health is below 100% the medic recievs x% in retun for healing. Once the player reaches 100% the medic then recieves only y% for the health boost given to the player. This avoids medics running around healing whomever they want just to boost their own health. It gives the greater reward for using the triage concept and healthing the players that need it the most first.
