Engineer is in a weird spot. He’s a support class that rewards players by going to him, and not the other way around. Of course, he could always go to you.
His abilities are great, though. Bullhorn swarm pretty much blocks out any glass canons. Heavy helper stops drones. And double time makes a great escape option.
He feels more like a defense class more than a support class, but I guess the defense upgrades would be too powerful on him.
I’m fine with steam blaster scientists not being centered around support. In games like TF2, you can customize your favorite character to fit a playstyle more comfortable to you. You’re making a trade with each descision. With scientist, you could either bolster your healing capabilities, or go ham as if it were the good ‘ol days. The point of steam blaster is to transform him into an assault class, but without making him too OP with assault upgrades (like combo and low life).
We were able to do this kind of thing in GW2, with different variants and abilities.It would be a shame if this part of BfN is also ruined.
