So. Here's my breakdown: Overdose only increases your speed based on your uber, BUT ONLY when it is active. So, defensively it may be helpful for getaways-that is, if your uber is good. And it only increases 1% for every 10% of uber. Now, for offense, Blutsauger is good because it heals you for your hits. But I also think it's good for defense, because, well, heals. So Overdose and Medigun/Quick-fix, Blutsauger and Kritzkrieg/Quick-fix/Medigun. The question I have for you is, is the Overdose all that helpful? Or would it be better spent selling it for a scrap and just using Blutsauger? Here's the wiki links so you can research if you really want to. Sorry this post is long winded most of it is probably unnecessary.

Bringing fun into the factor; I'm all about the Crusader's Crossbow. Killing somebody from across the map is always a good time.

On topic: It all depends on your play style. Use whatever works best for you.
 
I don't use the Overdose because usually when you need to get away, you usually die in the next few seconds.

I use the Blut, just because.

But in all reality, just use stock. It's your best option.

I find the overdose to be an acceptable option, considering I have excellent needle aim. On defense, I'll go with blutsauger, simply because I like to be a bit more aggressive with my playstyle on medic if I can't find a good pocket to fall back on to counter pushes. Crusader's Crossbow is normally a good option if you don't like being a pocket medic, or if you prefer long-range medicing, but I prefer the frontlines playstyle where needles are more useful.
 
all of you are wrong, the best choice is obviously the default saw, go in the middle of a battle, AND PLAY THE SONG OF YOUR PEOPLE!!!
 
well i is battlemedic so i just go crusaders crossbow, kritzkrieg, and ubersaw kill peeps
 
I would use crossbow except that requires SKILL, and I'm more on the frontline like Spork. The stock is boring, will not be using that. And I think for myself the speed boost is kinda useless, so I think I'll be selling it for a scrap. Any takers? Nah, I didn't think so. I'll gift it. Maybe.
 
Truthfully when I play medic I don't use the overdose if I do use anything but the needle gun I will use the blutsauger...
 
Going from sniper to medic, its actually pretty easy to use the crossbow. Strange how practicing sniper forever translates to being better at many more things :P

There's a life lesson in there somewhere.
 
Overdose as that extra bit of speed helps when outrunning pyros trying to chase you down.

If you don't like stock, this is the best advice. Blutsauger makes you extremely weak to pyros. I main battle-medic, and this is about the best option in my opinion.
 
Losing the normal passive heal when using the Blutsauger feels crippling to me. If you want to win 1 vs. 1 match-ups it's the way to go but the downside is extreme (IMO).

Overdose is probably the way to go if you don't want to rock the stock Syringe Gun. I use it with the Quick Fix since Uber fills so quickly that the speed boost is there more often than not.
