Valve has recently announced that they will soon be releasing 36 new achievements, just for the Medic class. With Medics currently the least played class according to official statistics, will the new achievements see more Medics on public servers here?
Public opinion seems to be rather mixed on the matter, with some thinking that there will be too many Medics, while other feel that any changes will only be short term.
Cockalogy from Singapore clan [5th] Company is one of those who think that there will be too many Medics.
"There will be an inflation of medics," said Cockalogy. "We may never experience a shortage of medics, but there would be a shortage of other classes." He also commented that he is not hyped up by the new achievements and will continue playing his usual class.
Fei101, who counts Medic among his favourite classes, said that the new achievements won’t really affect him much and thought nothing of it.
Selr, a long-time medic user, believed that the increase would only be temporary. "Probably more people would play medic to get the achievements, but after getting the achievements, if they’re not interested, they’ll stop using medic," she said.
With the new achievements, we can expect more people playing the Medic class, but this might in turn bring an inbalance with the number of Medics overwhelming the other classes. However, judging from the public’s response, it is more than likely that the amount of Medic users will return to normal once the achievements have been completed.
