— The Medic

”

Upon taunting with the Amputator equipped, the Medic bring his weapon up to his shoulder and plays a soothing melody, healing all allies within a certain radius while causing them to emit a team colored glow around their feet.

The taunt does not add to a Medic's ÜberCharge level, does not heal disguised or cloaked Spies, and does not overheal. The healing effect requires a line of sight to all targets, and therefore cannot heal teammates who for example may be on the opposite side of a wall. Teammates who kill opposing players will give the taunting Medic an assist in the kill.
