Crovax Engie update

The engineer recieves a mech suit, with on his rear either a level 1 dispenser or a level 1 teleporter. He cannot repair buildings, but he can place a level 1 teleporter entrance somewhere. He gets to have the lvl 2 sentrygun guns welded on his mechsuit (slightly different stats and no knockback i reckon).

There, you solved the problem of the engineer being forced to sit at his base and made him functional for an assault team. The mech suit does not increase his health in any way, its roll is to make him a portable support asset. If the engineer chooses to take the teleporter load out he is stuck with a level 1 teleporter that will occasionally reinforce his position with a team mate. (you could even twink the teleporter on his back to be even slower than a level 1). If he chooses the lvl 1 dispenser he will be a good area healer that doesn't heal fast at all (lvl 1 dispensers heal slow, and again you could twink the healing). So now we got an engineer that runs with the assault people, but doesn't have the same staying power as an engineer that builds a base nor the same healing/teleporting support as a normal engineer.

Update done.

You could even put a dispenser and a teleporter on the mech suit but make them inferior to a normal engineers lvl 1 base....

Is it that hard Valve?

I think we should remove the engie limit when its released. Seriously 12 v 12 engineers is the way to go.

Who cares what they do now, the games been arsed up beyond all recognition as it is.

Portable Dispenser Lvl 1 on back - could as well play medic. It's not like there's not constantly ammo lying around on the ground on most maps.
Portable Lvl 2 SG - Seriously? Free aimbot for everyone?

Did I anywhere suggest that it should be a direct copy? Did you even read my post or just saw lvl 1 dispenser, lvl 1 telly, lvl 2 sentrygun and started to write with blindrage.

I CLEARLY STATED THESE WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE AS EFFECTIVE. The level 2 guns on the arms of the mechsuit would not auto-aim you would have to aim yourself with them and of course the weapon dmg/knockback/whatever has to be changed. I just would like to little miniguns on my mechsuit.

Why the fuck do people immediately assume I am talking about a walking lvl2 sentry/lvl1 dispenser/lvl 1 telleporter?

Also have you actually checked how long it takes for a level 1 dispenser to heal you to full health? It takes forever, and you have to be very close to it and they could easily make it even less effecient than a lvl 1 dispenser.

It would also prevent the situation of 24 engineers sitting in their bases with an updated turretfarm. You'd actually have them running around and do stuff.

I think engi's should have a little helicopter instead of a sentry, it has a level 1 sentry on it and follows the engineer around, it only has 75 hp though and costs 125 metal to build.

Well, I was gunna say that, but I thought the idea would 'get shot down' pretty quickly. Yes that's right, what an awesome pun.

If you make the portable dispenser even worse then you can really as well play medic instead Seems I'm not the only one who doesn't read the other's post carefully

..... typical of the internet its full of retards who jump on one line and then keep bashing that while totally forgetting the grand picture of what someone was trying to do with his post.

My intention was simply to show a good and fun update to the engineer that wouldn't overpower or underpower him but would give him a role in an attacking team. Of course I can't say the dispenser has to heal like a level 3 or a level 0, because I can not playtest it. A medic is a single target spike damage healer, the engineer in my update would be a area of effect healer, of course not as effecient as a medic because he can't overheal but he could make your assault a little bit more solid. And allow other classes who don't get the undivided attention of the medic last longer.

Relentless, did you change your avatar to Kirby cause I was going around muddying your good name?
