Imagine the uplink deployers who once patiently and carefully placed uplinks in durable locations where team mates would certainly be safe when they spawned. Say good bye to them. Nobody is going to want to stay in a used up logi dropsuit for the duration of the match (except ADS pilots).
They won't be missed, gives MCRUs more of a reason to exist.
Real logis can still switch to rep / needle / scanner / hive while keeping all their equipment deployed. You have to actually make a tradeoff now.
If you hate it so much, go collect some cans, get $20, buy a psn card, and respec. No one should get to be a logistics heavy or logistics assault, they should have to be a logistics logistics, or an assault logistics who focuses less on equipment and more on killing
Tradeoffs. its a pretty simple concept
How hard is it to perform the logistics function and drop a piece of equipment where it is needed? Now if I want to perform that role, then I am punished and I must remain in a used up dropsuit for the remainder of the match, or as long as I want my equipment to persist. Logistics is a very simple unstimulating non-combat role, however when the team is not performing the role, somebody needs to step up and do it. If I identify that need, then, under bandwidth, I am constrained to that simpleton's role until the need has been met. You can forget that.
The problem becomes demoralization. If I'm already on a team that sucks and now I have to play a role that I find boring for the rest of the match, why play the game at all? Logistics isn't fun to most, which is why good support is lacking in many many matches. It's something we do and then move on to the fun parts of the battle. Ever been in a match where nobody has deployed uplinks at all. That happens to me like 90% of the time, and I tell myself, "I hate my team" and then I go deploy uplinks so that we can have safe spawn points. Somebody has to do it in order to improve strategic positioning.
Now I will be stuck on a team of useless retards and stuck in a useless non-combat suit until I am satisfied that my actions have made a significant impact.
