Undervalued and unloved healers

Why are the healers so undervalued in the game?

For instance a shooter guy making 2k damage gets 2 stars while I keeping them alive and healing over 6k only 1 star.
My skills are always on cooldown and I do not spend time there simply staying idle.
If not for me this guy would be dead 3 times over but still he is the man and I'm he healer...

Getting 2 stars as a healer is a very rare occurrence while on shooter if you do not die at the beginning of the fight and your team wins most likely you will get 2 stars. 3 stars for healer I have never seen yet in all my BB career.

In my opinion healing should be counted same as damage or at least much closer to it than it is now.

 

I soooo understanding your issues,
few way to get more star (options);
Use frost blast
Use fire bomb
Use duct tape

The last options, you will be alive longer and heal more or you can join your team and do damage.

The last options is not the popular choice for others but.....a bit of selfishness will give you more star, gold and sugar.

Watch my video for duct tape proof of concept

Well this is my opinion.

 

I personally think all fixers should at least have one duct tape to keep them alive longer, and most importantly enable them to seriously participate in combat. Right now this is the only reliable way for fixers to earn 2 stars on average instead of doing godlike healing and only receiving 1 star.

 

most of the mk5 ships reaching nightmare are fixers so i dont get why give them even more advantages

 

I play fixer in my second account, i know the pain... Its to difficult to get stars... However you can use firebomb as a weapon to get some stars

 

I think the point is that you shouldn't have to use sub-optimal items to get stars.

 

self explanatory

 

I know' THE POINT ' Fact we have to work currently with what we have got,and hope for next update to resolve it. There have been lot of posts about this already and i m just suggesting something that can get you more stars.

 

They (we) do so at the cost of farming stars+gold much slower.
Fixers are good at mk5 because its the only boat that works well when matched up with (& against) better ships.

Fixer is not in a good place at the moment - Made very evident by that complete lack of fixers at high end. Add slower ressource farming on top and you have players leaving for other boats (myself included)

 

Others results may vary - In my case (with VIP enabled, so instant quit upon Death) I earn gold somewhere between 25 & 50% faster in my speeder. Others may have varying results, but I think its fair to assume that a fixer lives longer in the average game and that is absolutety not reflected in a higher gold/game ratio.

 

thats not true. most are speeders, then i would say shooters and defenders. fixers are under represented at all infamies (which honestly is fine because i wouldnt want 3 fixers every match anyways), however it is very difficult for a fixer from id say 2.5-4k because of low hp, speed, and self healing being nerfed. 70% would be better. i either get in my last heals and die, or stay behind while my team mates die. (the number of teams that dont understand i cant use pulse effecitively unless we are all in the same area is crazy)
Anywho, about the stars, devs have said it isnt perfect and are open to suggestions on how they should count healing in.
@CaffeinatedChris once u go fb u never go back x) its worth it!

 

id like to say enforcer and defender are undervalued as well
However, i think that most importantly we need more content and game modes right now so pls no more nerfs. if anything buff!

 

Most mk5s that reach Nightmare are Fixers. And on top its the only class that can bring a rare geared played above 4k as mk5 (with 1 exception last season). But again, this is more due to the defensive support Nature of Fixers, rather than them nesacarily being OP

 

Give 1 example of fixer in current situation reaching nightmare with mk5

 

is there any way to check that?

 

Not if anything just buff fixers make them invincible in one on one match

 

Here is what it looked like last season:

Lol ur right. mk5 fixers are the most common at 4k infamy. Yet they are still underrepresented in top 50.
Ah i really dont think anything needs a change then, do you?

 

I think the Repair Pulse nerf needs to be rolled back, I think it was based on a wrong idea of why mk4/5 Fixers were(are) able to reach higher infamy. And I think its clear at mk6 Nightmare level that Fixers suck at the moment. I also doubt the devs will ever admit that the Repair Pulse nerf was wrong, so I abandoned the green boat and went somewhere else.
