Topic title pretty much sums it up but I think a Support who is healing someone should get an assist when the "patient" gets a kill.
If they nerfed his combat skills then I would support this, but he fairs well enough on his own. Although it would provide a nice incentive for supports to put away the shotgun and heal teammates.
you say that as if we have some infinite source of juice. We don't get any more if the "patient" is fully over healed, which makes sense, but means we eventually have to find other ways to make juice. Its not like supports sit in their own base overhealing turrets constantly until we get juice, then sprint over to your base to start spawn camping. Anyway, I agree our money generation is a bit low, though I think automatic assists may be overdoing it a bit. Maybe just increase the money per second generated from healing, that would work.
No, I don't say that as if it's an infinite source of juice. I'm just saying that it's a free source of juice. It's very easy.
I agree but only if you still have your heal hurt gun on your ally. Other wise I would just overheal anyone that walked by and get mad assist.
These types of threads need to stop ... if you honestly believe that the Support class isn't good enough and deserves more buffs you clearly only use and abuse this class. Look at it from everyones point of view. Someone said Support's income is low? Are you kidding you collect juice so fast just do a taunt while juiced and you get 100$. And no, you do not deserve any sort of credit for holding RT and hopping around following your Gunner boyfriend.
I understand some of the support rage, but this is ridiculous. We don't deserve credit for healing our teammates and doing our job? So you think we should be only a combat type? And your latent homophobia is disturbing. Go cool off with a nice game of Hexic HD and then come back.
I'd rather get credit for heals than have to act like every other class as the Support. When I play Support I hardly ever go super offensive (I'd play Assassin or Assault if I wanted to do that), so nerfing other abilities in favor of granting assists to the healgun is fine by me.
