A lot of the self proclaimed 'true logi's' out there I find just want to be useful despite their terrible gun game. But the truth is, any idiot can hold a rep tool on a heavy all game. But you still have to be able to jump in the fight once in a while.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Holding a tool on a heavy all game isn't as easy as it seams. I am a logi almost full time and it took a while to get good at it. Knowing where your heavy is, where he is going and keeping a lock is difficult and it is not just running behind someone all game. I work very hard at being a good logi so don't act like shooting is that much harder, it is a simple interface, just point and click. Knowing when to drop a hive or needle someone is a skill that takes time to master and a unskilled logi waste their equipment and die often to pick-up traps. Especially now with how equipment works it is even more vital your logi knows his job and to have good situational awareness.
I die mostly because my slayers are more focused on their run and gun game and getting a kill then to anything else, they often don't listen to coms or act on warnings I give them because they are more focused on making that one kill than their surroundings. Heavies run off from a logi suit because they feel invincible with 100 HP/s on them and it causes them and me to die because they weren't thinking about the fragile connection we have. Running around corners too fast, through doorways at sharp angles and jumping off ledges before I can can get close enough to follow causes them and me to die when a slower approach and better angle of attacks would have kept us both alive. Good logis are not idiots, we may not have the best gun game but it you keep in touch with a good logi you will go far.
As far as a nerf to logi weapon slots, hell no. I may be a bad shot but when I do fire it does help. I am bad shot because I don't practice shooting like I do with equipment and having the DPS cut in half would cause a lot of people a lot more deaths, I may not be slayer but I do rack up assists because I am assisting my slayer and not just standing there with my tool in hand waiting on free points.
