The prelevance of this tactic in pubs and the subsequent whining about it, shows that the matchmaking system still needs refining.

Why look at a teamwork mechanic which is perfectly fine and not look at the real problem which is amarr/gallente heavy with 1000+ armor + resistances?

I think this mechanic allows for so much abuse. Amarr heavies with 1200hp+ with resistance to weapons coupled with (sometimes) 2 logis repping them at once. Someone, somewhere has to believe that there is something wrong with this, no? This game is supposed to be based on skill, right?

At first, it seemed ok but players started abusing it and something just didn't feel right about that mechanic. Especially when there is nothing like that for shield infantry (esp. heavies)

I'm thinking that the rep tool should be at 100% efficiency when the person is not taking any damage. And then perhaps 50% efficiency when the person is taking damage (for the people who want to continue to abuse this)

You Logi scum make me sick. You make it seem like you're making this huge grand sacrifice to ensure the survival of the Heavy suit, when you're basically farming WP for holding R1.

The fact that repping is valued more then actual killing in a ambush game mode is the definition of broken.

Going 0/4 and keeping one HMG Heavy alive =/= someone going 24-4 in ambush.

So Reg, what's the fotm? Oh wait, I can find out the next time I see you.

Its not the Suit bro, its the thumbs

Agreed, you are a bit of a freak of nature, but, if we got to look at your fitting it would be a who's who of what is currently OP.

that's right, I'm new here. You have anymore pro tips?

1 Logi Greater than 1 Slayer.

Slayer goes 24/4, good job well done, thank you for the contribution.

Logi
Revives 30 People (my personal best) - saving millions of peoples ISK in the process.
That Logi has now outperformed that Slayer by 6 lives
(+30 to team force strength)

Logi heals 45 People from > 20% eHP - saving millions of peoples ISK in the process.
That Logi has now made each of those people he has healed worth 2 times their forcestrength
(+45 to team force strength)

Logi provides ammo to 25 people allowing to fight harder and longer, also reduces suiciding for more ammo.
(+25 to team force strength)

Logi Provides Intel Support allowing friendlies to fight smarter and pick fights, increasing their effectiveness 10 fold
(+150 to team force strength)


So in total
Slayer -4 to team force strength -24 to enemy force strength (not accounting for revives on other team)
Logi -4 to team force strength +250 to team force strength

I'd say that logi made a hell of a lot more a contribution than yourself, sitting in a corner shooting people as they walk past.
You never if you got a logi you might go 80-4 or 30-0. The fact you don't appreciate the usefulness of a support role tells me everything I need to know, go back to your hole ReG we will ask for your opinion when it comes to more brute force forms of balance.

"easily broken"...how would you easily defeat a heavy with two logis or two heavies with four logis on an objective?

How about you save your pseudoscience for another logi who needs the false sense of accomplishment and worth on a video game.

I treat Logibro's with the same respect as a doormat. You wipe your feet with it, and then forget it ever existed.

You...
You do realize that those Logis could just take out their own weapons and deal 4x the damage that they rep, right?

Yep.
