Medigun vs Kritzkreig

[Ancient of Ways]

I wish that switching them wasn't buried in menus. There's been more than a few times where it'd be handy to go medigun, then KK, and back.

For the most part of course its the medigun. In situations where I/my team doesn't have to worry about sentries - like defending on Goldmine - I'll go total KK.

It's O (the letter) by default in-game. Ihad the same troubles then did a little digging. it's a lot faster that way

Situational. Every second unlock so far has been better in certain situations.
-Backburner/ Normal (solo/teamwork) -Sasha/Natasha (Taking point/covering from the rear with slow)
-Normal ?ber charges are better for breaking through thick defenses riddled with sentries.
-When all the engies have decided to go on vacation, I prefer the kritzkreig. Highly contested points such as the middle point in badlands, warpath, well, etc. Kritzkreig can mo down the enemy. With proper team work normally ?bered enemies can easily be seperated (compression blast will do).
!!A good medic will use both when the situation requires. From my medic internship, I prefer invulnerable when either ?ber will work.

I change my answer! First my poll answer was both but today on toyfort I came to the conclusion that I love the kritzkrieg <3 But I'll still use medigun when needed.

For those who think kritzkrieg can't take down sentries - Today I ubered a heavy and we took down 3 sentries! (not in a row of course) We barely had any sentry problems because the criticals just mowed down any sentry we saw plus the healing during uber kept the heavy alive even after the sentry was destroyed

Also, Kritzkrieg is a VERY useful offensive weapon! A heavy getting all criticals will OWN any defense (Yes, I took down the whole defense of a team with an ubered heavy). It is a very useful on both offensive and defensive as all criticals can take down the enemy offense and defense.

You do know crits do not affect sentries, right? A kritz'd demomen needs just as many stickies as an ?bered demoman, so a medigun is still superior. HOWEVER The kritz is awesome for taking out a sentry in long range with a soldier. Just kill the engi behind it with a crit and take out the sentry with no problems.

The problem with the Kritz is that:
a) People you want to kritz think you have an ?ber and then they die.
b) They retreat because they think the Kritz sucks.
c) They don't know how to use the Kritz effectively.

The Kritzkrieg is not made for frontal assaults, it's for long/mid range fights (Kritz'd Heavies are godlike ) and ambushing. If you and your patient use it right you'll get a lot of kills with it.

Anyway, I voted for both because I love both of them but I enjoy the Kritzkrieg alot more. The Kritz is so risky to use because both of you can die in these 7-10 seconds. That's what I like about it: The sheer power and yet so vulnerable.
To my suprise I see alot more Kritzkriegs lately. I love it.
