Support class is not fair, other classes buffs ideas

Since the last update the support class got, it is clearly that it has got an unfair buff and is affecting the game. 

Treating classes should be done fairly, they should do buffs for the other classes as well.

Since they made the support class heal twice using the shield cells and walking speed is normal while healing then they should do the following for the other classes:

-Skirmisher: Reduce the tacticle cool down for all legends by 50% and/or increase the general movement speed by 25-50%, or increase movement speed while aiming down sight.

- Assault: reduce reload time for all legends by 50% and/or reduce weapon swap time by 50% or increase ammo by another 25%

These should place the whole classes in balance again  and widen the difference between them.

  • @RXYRP From what I've heard, Support was intentionally made to be strong so players would give the Support class a chance in the new meta.

    By next season, we should start seeing balance changes to the Support class, and buffs to the Assault and Skirmisher classes.

    They have some sort of speed limit for balancing. Octane pushes that limit.
    Having a speed buff passive wouldn't be very effective for them.
    However, the reduced penalty while aiming might be something, but that would really push Octane into meta again. He still sort of is.
    I was thinking maybe something along the lines of give them Hover as a class perk. They can all go airborne quite easily, using Hover could give them an extra edge, until people start expecting it. Then it'd be the 50/50 are they gonna hover or not deal.

    Assault:
    Give them all painting enemies: When they hit a target, they highlight the target briefly for their team. Maggie keeps her passive as class perks have no effect in Mixtape. Maybe buff Maggie's passive to highlight for the team instead of only for herself.
    I was also thinking another option could be extra grenades. BTW Fuse would stack 3, not just 2, while that class perk is in effect, still making him the ultimate grenadier.

    The 50% you're suggesting is too OP. They'll never accept it because the value is so high. Reduce it down to the common 15% and maybe they'll think about it.
