Forgive me for not reading the whole thread, but I am under time constraints. I have only a few things to say as a jack of all trades in the game, and I'm sure it will all be unpopular because I am recommending nerfs to adjust for all of it's benifits.
Repair tools, like everything else in the game has done so far, needs an anti-point farming mechanic built in. We nerfed nano hives and uplinks because they were too easy to just continuously farm points with, despite their usefulness to the team. The repair tool should be no different. I know points cut off if the person you're repairing hasn't done damage within a set amount of time, but the amount of points able to be accrued with a repair tool has been a bit laughable for a long time now (Reference: I-Shayz-I videos). I have no problem with a logi being able to work hard and do poorly k/d wise and still hit the top, I'm merely saying the repair tool allows a logi with a heavy or two to repair all match to be at the top in pretty much every match. All I'm saying is is that they are being a little overcompensated WP-wise for their role repairing. A slight drop to WP/rep cycle should smooth things out nicely, dropping it from 25 to 20 would probably even be enough.
Also, repairing the squad lead while he's dropping an OB for points? Totally dumb. Point farming, pure and simple, and for no good reason. This leads into another debate where nobody in a squad should get kills from the OB but all instead get assists since they aren't actually killing the enemy, but simply put: repairing the squad lead while he/she drops an OB should NOT award points.
Lastly, I recommend that the repair tool begins to overheat if you are repairing a suit who's armor is full already. Sitting in an objective repairing two heavies who are full on armor just to farm points shouldn't be a thing. Once a person you are repairing has full armor, your repair tool should start overheating. Make a logi have to pay attention to his job if he's going to be getting points for other people's successes. Just like a heavy has to watch his overheat to deal with multiple targets, a logi should have to pay attention to the one's he's caring for. I'll leave that one where it sits and let you ponder it for a bit.
Anyway, hate to be a party pooper, I know most people probably came here for logi buffs, but point farming with the repair tool has been something that has been an issue for a while now and for the game to be complete, it needs to be rectified at some point.
