This is a good point. I think the argument for logi=medic boils down to if you want to be a medic then the logi suit is clearly the best choice. I agree that hives and uplinks are just as important and integral to the success of the team but I still use medic equipment mostly. This is just my way of contributing to the team. I wouldn't say that I contribute more or less than someone running uplinks or hives. As long as the logi is using it's attributes to support the team in some way then I think you're using the suit as it was intended to be used. |

Spam dropping equipment is getting stupid. toping the charts with 2/10 because you ran around dropping equipment without engaging and using the supply depot bug/exploit, make Equipment logi the noob easy mode. Hope its working for you. When/if you have the skills to do something more useful please let us know.
Unless you use a heavy suit I don't know why you're complaining. You can either take advantage of ammo/spawns/repair/revives or you can use that equipment yourself and rake in the points. No one is stopping you.
It seems that logis get to the top of the boards when there are only a couple of them in the match while the rest are performing offensive roles. If there were 3-5 in a match then one person would not get all of the "team spawns/resupply" points, but because people just want to run around killing things, this is not typically the case.
Imagine if the ratio were switched and there were 4 logis following every assault character. They would have very little points to compete for and the assault character could just walk around mowing every enemy down without fear.
Criticizing the players who take advantage of this circumstance is pretty ridiculous. It's a different play style that requires much more situational awareness and multitasking abilities rather than reflexes and accuracy. Assault is point and shoot. Try running a scout suit with nova knives if you think running around in a medium suit with an AR is the true test of skill. |
