Change primary mouse button [Left-Click] to "CALL MEDIC" and secondary [Right-Click] to "GIVE UP."

Just right click to call medic-... What's the problem with it?
It's been this way for years. Why change it now? And I think they might be separate buttons in the future.

It creates one serious issue. If I am revived at the moment I want to call medic (and according to your suggestion I press LMB), I end up suiciding.

Example 1: https://youtu.be/k5wJbi5kfcQ?t=206

Example 2:


'CALL MEDIC' should be primary [LMB]. Current design doesn't promote proper gameplay.
'GIVE UP', should be secondary [RMB]. Giving up should be a last resort!

I don't think Suchar's proposed button separation will solve the accidental suicide effectively..

Suchar's proposed change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43G8TME ... e=youtu.be

Everything else on the interface is operated by [LMB] and not really dangerous except the faction names and maybe those should also be operated by [RMB] to prevent accidental team switching.

Separated buttons +right click instead of LMB to suicide. Take it or leave it.

Accidental Teams selection can be avoided in a different way.

I can see the point in switching them up. But then also switch the suicide button or just move the suicide button somewhere else.

Might be worth a try to move all the bottons from below the map to the bottom right.

We will not switch how the buttons work as it will cause issues for everyone that learned how to use it. Splitting them into separate buttons is a better idea.
