Last post for today because i will go to sleep soon
This might be shocking or strange or none of these, but as a healer main in almost all games, i do not like Patcherâs gameplay
Playing as Patcher i noticed that i would rarely heal otherâs, as most of the time theyâre dead, i canât find them, or they healed themself due to the amount of heals spawning all the time. And this frustrates me, as i really donât like it when i canât do my job. So sadly, i donât play him often, even if heâs my favourite character.
Now why is that? In my opinion, due to his stats and abilities not helping him much.
First - abilities. His passive ability is nice for finding heal items and notifying your teammates of their placement. Does it help him? Rarely, itâs rare for me to notice heal items with this passive, as mostly theyâre already picked up or too far away for me to notice and iâm a blind ass sometimes. And even when you do notice the heal and inform someone, it doesnât inheretly help Patcher in his job or surviveability. I canât say what could be a better option, my best idea i can come up with atm is "agentâs in a range of 15/20 studs are highlighted to you" - it will help Patcher mains finding agentâs faster, or "when a teammate getâs injured, they are highlighted to Patcher for 10 secondâs" - helpâs Patcher find freshly injured players.
Now his active ability isnât that bad.. if we ignore the fact that you can only heal when the person is 100% safe from everything. So you canât heal a chased person and it takes time for him to get to the injured agent and heal them, as to heal someone you have to stay in place near the other agent. My alternative is just to take away the long healing and give him a cooldown of 30 seconds, or let him heal while walking but not running, or while Patcher heals he becomes slightly slower but can still move.
And his stats really give him nothing. Heâs average at everything but stamina, which is nice i guess, but how does it help in his gameplay? It would be better if it was in extraction/hacking as his ability does rely on it, or at least speed as he does need to run around to find people more efficiently.
Thatâs just my opinion
