Kritzkrieg in competitive matches.

I was just wondering if any of you guys would use the Kritzkrieg over the normal medigun in competitive matches. I have used it once before in a match and it worked quite well, but I don't know if i should keep using it? Also what do you think is the best class to kritzkrieg? And any other tips for using it.

As everyone always says it is a situational weapon...it depends on the map, the number of players, and the league your in. Some maps are better then others for the kritz. You just have to take it match by match and chose the one that fits with the strategy of your team. Don't only use one or the other. You have to really learn the strengths and weaknesses of each on every map that you play. It can also depend on what the opponent is using.

There are some off-the-wall strategies where Kritz is utilized, but uber is favored over Krtizkrieg in most push maps for several reasons.

For one, you have to use your Kritz quickly and aggressively in order for it to benefit you. Otherwise, if the enemy has an ubercharge your Kritz will be worthless. Considering how slowly paced your attacks will be, it's difficult to keep the proper momentum going without having your team end up separated.

The ubercharge also keeps the Medic from dying when he's in danger of getting killed, which is very important.

It does work, just not as well as an ubercharge does. The longevity of your team is more assured with an ubercharge at hand.

Also, when it comes to classes, it doesn't really matter who. If you can, switch your target once the one you're healing runs out of rockets/pipes/stickies/etc. so you can get as many critical hits off as possible.

like nekped said 9/10 times you want to regular uber over the kritz but if you want  to surprise the enemy with a faster charge then is the only time imo you should use it.

Also, Crits can be used to kill Medics before they have a chance to pop Uber

But yeah, generally Uber is used

yes uber is used more, but Kritz are sometimes used as a surprise tactic, or in smaller maps like granary where there aren't very many places to run to and where the lack of set up time means you'll always have the kritz ready b4 the uber. 

I don't know how competitive you consider the PUGS, but I often go with kritz soldier in them.  With a good soldier, it pwns.

1. Pop within the 5~9 secs you get it.
2. Give it to a demo
3. If you have a kriz uber available and if the team medic did not pop his uber nor dead, then you're doing it wrong
4. Pop it ~5 secs faster than you would with a uber since the medic and krizing target are vulnerable
5. During the mid battle, play extra safe than you would with a uber gun medic.

Things that have to go perfectly for a KK to work on a map like cp_granary:

Thanks for the help guys! Does anyone know if there are any demos of a medic using the Kritzkrieg?
