It's good to have the medic options there, but a logi still has to be a fighter first and foremost.

See this is where your view seems to be skewed.

If you want the medic options to be there, but still be a fighter first and foremost, you go for assault

If you want to have fighting options to be there, but still be a medic first and foremost, you go for logistics.

But that's like your opinion man

Logis are assault but get only one weapon and in return are able to carry more crap.

Wait a min....

How come the "logis are only support only ever and can't shoot and have no health" crowd are not complaining about Assault and Scouts carrying injectors and revers and nanohives and droplinks?

If Logis are supposed to be support what the hell are those scouts and assaults doing with all that support stuff?

Saying that you run with support equipment as a logi is all fine and good. I can say that in able to fly, and ride a unicorn that's on fire into battle, but that doesn't make it true.
If more logi players actually carried logi equipment, the assaults and scouts (scout with uplinks is working as intended, get in quick and quiet, deploy spawn location, get out quick and quiet) wouldn't have to, and IMO we could all play our classes roles a lot more effectively.
Tbh I see more logis playing as assault than I see logis playing logi, or assault/scout playing logi in everything except PC.

Why was the second equipment slot removed from the assault suit? Was it "too logi" for an assault to carry two equipments? I want it back, assaults should get two slots so we too could carry nanohives/uplinks/remotes and so on. Logis want to act as super assaults? Sure, but give us assaults a break here.

The issue I have with logis being better assaults than assaults is that there's no reason to even have "assault" if it's outperformed by another suit, while that suit is designed with something else in mind.

Tell me what is the role of the assault, if there's nothing wrong with logis outperforming them? Are we just your meatshields? What is my incentive of picking assault over logi?

The role of a logi is support, mostly medical support but other kinds as well.

Whether your healing a heavy

Reviving a teammate

or simple placing uplinks all those help the team.

I honestly don't believe the Logistics suit should be used for any sort of frontline combat.

We have an Assault suit for that.

How many logi medics do you guys use in PC teams?

I believe I can run the same suit I have now with 2x Complex CPU upgrades by dropping one of my regulators which is fine.

But my frustrations stem from this notion that I'm not a logi if I don't have a rep tool or that I can go 30-1 in a match as a logi.

While going 30-1 I can still accumulate more WP from support than killing. What is wrong with that? Serious question

here is the disconnect: logi= logistics. a wide range of support options. just cause yer a logi does not in fact relegate you to medic. you could run two different RE, a scanner, hive and still be a logi.

logibro=medic or thats what it's come to mean for me. all the restorative gear with thoughts of objective garrison (defending a point) fat boy support or general zerg support of a close moving squad.



EDIT: logibro instead of logi

One for each squad.
We don't really have any logi suit assault players in PC, everyone knows their role, and we stick to it as a team.

I agree with your assessment, you can be a logi and not be acting like one of the hunting dogs chasing down the reddots. IDK why people are so obsessed with thinking that they NEED to be just another flavor of assault.

Okay so 3-4 max out of 16 players

What are those players KDR for a corp as esteemed as Synergy?

They don't have all that stuff in good corps.

This is certainly what it seems people want.

Why are you concerned about the KDR on the support player?

Just to give all the kids an idea of what it's like in a higher tier corp, how many logi medics do you guys field in a PC match?

I am talking about what the suit can carry. You know the way people keep saying the intent of what CCP meant logis to be.

If logis are only support with weaker health and weaker damage as people keep saying they should be then why should assault be allowed to carry this stuff?

Furthermore Assault should not have mines or explosives. Demolitions is a support role.

Why aren't players complaining about Assault suits not filling their role properly? Why are they so focused on putting the logi suit in a little box but not other classes as well?

it is almost as if the people who say logis should be weak are not playing logis....but in fact play other classes.

Imagine that.

2-3 I'd say. Never more than one per squad in PC, and we generally run 3 squads.

Read Zdub's post above.

I hope people are paying attention to this.

And those 2-3 people you put in there. Are they killers?

I think you need to read his assessment again.

I see where you're going :) And I agree so I'll play along.

Yes, they are killers because otherwise they wouldn't be able to justify why they deserve a spot in a high stakes PC match.

I'd wager that close to 50% of dust is logi medic.
