    Agreed. They also attract attention and then heal back up again, giving the others a fighting chance, so in a way, it's similar to what an other fixer would do, I dcept more offensive.

    Yes but they aren’t healing their team. Which was the point of the fixer in the first place is to keep the team alive. Yes it’s really cool when a fixer does this because it makes them tanks and unique, and yes it’s cool when a speeder does double nitro and overboost and distract, but honestly if I was a shooter, I would want to be healed, and I would want my enemy stunned. Who cares if they are distracted, they’re gonna die anyway. Their cockiness only goes so far. Right into the face of an explosive cannon.

    And they want to be healed too, so they use duct tapes. It's not like you can do any better healing them.

    I’m making the item a bit better. Why would people be so upset with the opportunity of a buff? If I said that we are changing the cooldown for ex cannon, would you guys who use it deny it?

    Oh oops, misread a part, my bad.
    But I still think tapes should be left the way they are. That buff just might make them too useful and make their team really hard to kill, especially with two repair pulses added to that.

    Yeah true, but it’s obly the radius of a repair box, which is really tiny. But yeah.

    That’s why I think it would be better as a new, 2-point green item. It gives more healing to you and less healing to your teammates. Maybe with a wider radius than pulse. Just something additional to mix things up a bit.

    I don’t really mind selfish Fixers. I just wish we could find out before the game that they were selfish. Personally, I’ve started watching my Fixers at the beginning of the game to see what healing items they have and then adapt to them.

    Even I think triple semi-pulses is a bit too much. I can say pretty confidently that I woulsn't be able to assassinate a fixer no matter how good I was, simply because I wouldn't have the dps needed to do it!

    Dude, it's already difficult to kill fixers. What you are giving the paladin fixer is the ability to heal everyone. I can understand that the AoE is low, but if the fixer played it smart, heck, if it was me, I'd continuously 180° my teammates triggering ducttape as I went. It would totally screw up enemy aim, make me almost invunerable to point damage weps if I did so, and at the cost of spoiling my team's aim, the team would get healing!

    What would help is a lobby view before the match starts so you can view your friendlies' setup. Maybe give it a 10 sec countdown until match initiates so you have a chance to check for tape fixers.

    I wouldn't like to have any extra wait time :p Just show our teammates items on the pre battle screen we already have and it'll be awesome

    but at least give it a cooldown because the moment the match starts in random. I kind of want to be able to change my weapons according to my teammates

    Then everybody change their items thinking on their teammates and your team become less prepared than before. No, thanks, leave the pre battle time as it is ;)

    How less prepared? If you haven’t selected and confirmed another’s item to your ship, then you’ll just go into battle with your original. And planning with your team prepares you for what’s to come. I don’t see how it won’t

    This doesn't relate directly to what is being discussed in this thread, but can Rovio add autocorrect to this forum? Then I wouldn't feel so OCD-ed by grammar.
