Actually -- tbh, I kind of agree with the OP. I'm not sure about a heat cool down, but reptools feel a bit OP.

The rep tool always applies 100% of its healing. Guns NEVER apply 100% of their DPS. Saying that it only offsets 1/3rd damage is fallacious.

Does not require aiming. Or even facing.

And the phrase Kill the logi then the heavy will die is also fallacious. In some situations sure -- in many to most not only will the Heavy not die, the logi won't die before the heavy kills you.

I'm a heavy. I like reptools. But even I admit that they are far too efficient and loleasy to use. People wonder why heavies are spammed and blame EHP and HMGs and all sorts of stupid stuff like that when they completely forget about reptools, wheelchair heavies, etc...

It's mindbogglingly stupid.

Biggest counter to heavy/logi combo is explosives. There a slow And easy to spam explosives at. Logi can't be near a heavy when getting hit by explosives making it harder to repair him. But if you think the rep tool is over powered then instead of nerfing add a hard counter? In eve they have ECM and energy-neutralizers to stop logi from working. I have suggested this in one of my posts called "Active ewar."

I have suggested this in one of my posts called "Active ewar." Well, no, with the range of reptools and the limited blast radius of explosives its not super effective. I've advocated using explosive weapons to 'encourage' camping logies and heavies out -- but in practice it is somewhat, but only barely, effective. It's not really hard for the heavy to stand out in the open, and maintain HMG fire while the logi hides far enough around a corner to not get caught by any splash. Of course this is all related to location. But, temporary 'suppression' equipment (such as a disruption grenade) would be cool, but easily unbalanced if not carefully implemented. Still, with the fact you only need to land it once before making a push, it's a cool idea.
