After reading some posts on how the proto heavy suit sucks because it costs too much and/or doesn't give enought benefit over a standard suit, etc.... it got me thinking.
What if each class of suit had a passive bonus. For example, scouts got a 5% speed bonus for every tier level. Standard keeps current speed, advanced goes up 5%, proto goes up 10% over base speed. Maybe heavies get an HP bonus. Perhaps 10% bonus per level. (advanced has 10% and proto has 20% over standard stats) Maybe Logi gets a bonus to equipment. (injectors get a 10% health bonus, nanohives offer 10% more ammo, per level, etc) Assault, not sure, we can figure that out.
I just threw some numbers out there. We can discuss the numbers, as I realize that if their TOO high... proto suits go back to being god-like, like they were in early builds. Just curious as to people's thoughts. IMO, the suits need more differentiation from eachother. Both in terms of class, and meta level. |

You're right, last build was rediculous. But last build, ALL suits had more HP, etc. And the differences were BIG.
I'm talking about making the increases smaller, and the buffs would only be in one or two areas... not necessarily in HP.
Ex. Scout is supposed to be fast. Arguably that is it's biggest asset. Scout would get a 5% speed bonus per tier. Heavy's asset is it's HP. It would get a 10% HP bonus per tier. Logi has more CPU and PG and equipment slots. Perhaps increase it gets a passive bonus to it's equipment, or maybe just more CPU and PG. Assault is the swiss army knife. It has decent speed, decent HP, decent number of High/Low slots. It can do a little of everything. I'd argue the Assault should get no buff. I say this, because the assault is currently the strongest suit... it doesn't need a buff, since it's large number of slots give it plenty of versatility to gank/tank/support/etc. |

Right now, the only difference between a standard and proto suit, is cpu/pg and number of slots. This would add another bonus to higher tier suits. This bonus would be in the area that is the suits forte. |
