Mostly solo player now days. The only suit I don't slap a PRO needle on is my Sentinel (but I hardly ever play it cause I really reallllly suck at being an heavy and I'm already a bad player.)
Reviving really amounts to picking and choosing your own mini battle really.
- Sometimes, a blue goes down, 8 man team storms and clears and they still won't want a revive. I can complain but maybe he was out of ammo, maybe he really wanted a different suit, and maybe even he had real life going on and used those few bleed out seconds to take care of it. Or maybe even he just hates revives.
- Sometimes, I'll have someone charge an 8 man team in the open, spam the revive button and expect me to wander out there like I'm bullet proof and like my PRO needle suddenly makes you bullet proof too. But because I didn't revive you in a ****** situation, you automatically think all logi's suck and never revive.
- Sometimes I *thought* we cleared the area and I revived you just to see you go down from a thale/shogun/remote. Nothing makes me feel worse than reviving you to die immediately again. It doesn't happen often, but the few who take it personal are the ones spewing on how logi's are worthless.
- Sometimes, I yell at my screen (don't you do it...Don't you do it!... DON'T) when I see a noob wander out in the open to save someone I know is exposed and won't live thru the revive. When that happens, I have my rep tool out and start healing the revived blue immediately. The few times I can heal him enough to bunny hop into cover with only 5 armor left, I feel like a hero.
- Sometimes, that same blue will look at my golden rope and think I was the idiot that revived them with a ****** needle in the middle of a fire fight. Now I just feel bitter instead of a hero.
- Sometimes, I'm the one who needs a revive. And as a logi (most of the time), I greatly appreciate it when an assault/mando gets me back on my feet, even if it's only 50% of the way there. They're my heroes.
I'm tired of this being pictured as extreme one way or another. No situation is perfect, no encounter is truly the same and unless we were all a sync'ed unit, we have no idea which of the above actually happened because we can only see our own tunnel vision.
So instead of getting a bunch of strong opinions on two sides of a spectrum, I would suggest you just slap on a needle and see what happens. If it's not for you, move on. But don't let someone else polarize the game through their own view in their helmet.
