But i still see Medics still use it when they play. i just dont understand when it says it'll drain your health -2 on wearer but it doesnt do anything. anyone explain their own thoughts on this issue??

But it's great against W+Mouse 1 Pyros. I also tend to use it over the Syringe Gun, it can heal you really fast if you can hit most of your shots.

Who wouldn't like that? I mean I find myself not even needing a health pack at times because I'll be at full health again in like 5-10 secs. I can actually save them for serious injuries instead.
