You cannot devalue other styles of play, but the most valuable player knows how to do many things. Here are a couple of examples from recent games.
1.
I came in 2nd on the leaderboard, 1-6. My squad mates went 27-3, 23-4. Why? It might have something to do with them not having to go looking for nanohives, them not dying and maintaining an aggressive front. Maybe it had something to do with knowing where the enemy was, or that they could focus on killing when I'm hacking twice as fast. My unbalanced KDR FACILITATED 50 kills.
2.
My team was off the objective, we were stalemated in domination and could not cap that objective on the bridge. Recognizing the power of the enemy team was largely due to their spawn locations and a steady overwatch by forges, I brought in my logistics LAV and ran disruption, preventing the team from being able to reinforce the objective, and forcing the forges to shoot at me. At the same time, I'd drop nanohives into the core of the group and rep some people while repairing my vehicle on cool down times. There was a stark difference in how the game went from that point on and we came back from almost nothing left on our MCC to winning the battle.
Logis know how to facilitate their team, and at times will sacrifice themselves for victory. Don't be petty and whine about getting paid more for getting kills, since you may have done so as a result of their hard work. |

Bottom line: A team only of slayers will destroy a team of only Logi
You are deliberately missing the point. Logis alone are useless, nobody here has said we should all be logis. At most 1 good logi a squad is all that is needed, maybe 1 every 2 squads.
Now to be fair, a squad of assaults with good planning can run without a Logi. However I've seen one logi and 2 heavies cream wave after wave of assaults and scouts when holding an objective. There is a time to shoot and a time to rep, the guys who don't know the difference are just not very good.
Think of time as a commodity and you'll see that an assault hacking an objective is redundant when i can hack it in half the time, while that assault is killing people. There is a point where too many people are shooting one guy for example, there is only one kill and the guy is already as good as dead. So what do the other people do? Other actions that help the team and facilitate the victory. |
