Basically just make it ranged and "hook" onto players. Overheals not needed. 1) No more welding peoples faces 2) Easier to heal 3) more effective healing in general.
Err, good idea. But make it so you can't have engineers heal roflmen while the roflmen is lying down.
Ranged healing means you can heal from a distance around cornors means that you cant kill the guy healing a prone heavy mg roflman as easily.
When the range will be really short then I would support this. Then it also would be more a bugfix then a new feature.
I'm down, as long as it doesn't put too much emphasis on Rifle+Engi pairs. inb4heavy/medic inb4getbehindmedoctor inb4chargeme inb4othersexualinnuendos etc
i support that healing is fucking annoying now heavy + medic will never happen, now with empires high dmg and splash push edit: wait what am i talking about, make it usable with every one but a prone hmg-er , figure yourself why
