The Logis can make make a load out that can function in any lite role it wants, in this niche game no other suit has this versatility, that is why I think it gets heat, it is a suit that can specialize in anything it wants, whereas other suits are more restricted by design.
I personally am not effective by it due to my preference for the scout suit which no suit really wants to mimic, the logi is no different than an assault for me in that if it sees you, you are dead, so I group medium frames as a single category because they function very similarly, the extra slots of the logi is not much different that the higher stats of the assault.
Now back to why people rage on the logi is because
The logi might not be thy best dps suit but it can scout and tank better than the assault suit. While the logi might not be the fastest suit, it it has more utility both in and out of combat than the scout suit. While the logi might not have thy highest tank, it can run and gun faster than the tank class.
So you are looking at two things,
1) Buff the other suits up
A) Assaults are pretty much set, they just need a general damage bonus and a racial weapon spec and no way could a logi ever compete with an assault again with the massive dps being able to clean logis in a second.
B) Heavies just need actual weapons, light weapon damage resistance, and active hardeners.
C) Scouts.... oh god where do I start, scouts need an entirely new mechanic that cant' be copied, like ewar or debuffer along with better stealth / disengagement abilities, then I think it would be able to break into high comp matches.
2) Make the logi suit one a niches instead of the versatile anything you want suit.
I don't pretend to be an expert on how to best to work this since I am not a logi

The problem with logis is that they have too many high/low slots and extra PG/CPU compared to assaults. This makes logi dropsuits open for far too many applications outside their intended role (logistics).
It's actually pretty simple to solve all this without damage/weapon nerfs, required filled equipment slots and whatnot - make the base HP, slot layouts and PG/CPU of logi dropsuits similar to assault / standard dropsuits (no extra slots and extra PG/CPU, but with similar base HP of assaults), and give them a fixed role bonus of, say, 50% PG/CPU cost reduction to all equipment.
This way, you don't force a logi player to forfeit anything it currently has, but make him think twice if he wants to play other roles with logi dropsuit.
I like this idea because it tweaks the least amount of mechanics and I thought the logi racial should the gal logi bonus of equipment reduction.
