As a result, it was replaced by the Medi Gun with its conspicuous healing beam.

Additionally, Valve wanted the Medic to stay in the thick of battle instead of hanging back away from the action. The Medi Gun solved this by being easy to use as to allow Medic players to focus on survival while healing teammates.
