Different group metas. For us (4-player), the MVP was [o]Medic, who played 14 of 15 games[/o] though [o]Immunologist played every game after they unlocked[/o].
The reason we weren't so keen on your MVP was: [o]Their main value in base Pandemic comes from their ability to end games faster when your only objective is to find 4 cures. Between only needing to find 3 cures, having positive mutations that make finding cures easier, and having other objectives that need to be completed too it makes having abilities like Medic and Quarantine Specialist that delay losing, or abilities that make other objectives easier to complete more important, while the cures just kind of happen automatically by the time you succeed at the other objectives. We did have the advantage of getting eradications in the first couple of games, so we got the first PM and a permanent research station both times.[/o]
