I generally agree as well. This buff to bandages will also indirectly buff ammo boxes even more, and medics will still have their niche in being able to heal others without even using up their bandage supply.

This is an interesting angle! It's important to note that bandages will only heal yourself. Applying bandages to teammates will not heal anything. This works around that because engineers can provide others bandages they can then use to heal, like some sort of sneaky medic.

Technically you can drop bandages for other players regardless of your class, but actually coordinating that in most cases wouldn't be worth it.
