My heal target normally handles that.
I do support, cos that's what a tech is for.

As per my earlier comment about minor 'adjustments', I'd like to see tech get a bit more benefit from using red beam (do a bit more damage-per-sec, more benefit from ability) at the loss of some heal-per-sec on team mates. I'd also like to see the PN get a bit more frontloaded and a slight DPS increase (given its crap accuracy beyond med range). I think this would make the tech more likely to swap to damage during skirmishes and then revert to healing when out of combat. Slightly more survivable solo too.

Survivability is good when Tech has the lowest health pool in the game.

People who complain about tech after a game are people who didnt have a tech on their team. I will play it depending on my teams' makeup and it absolutely can tip the scales noticeably. Then again ive seen teams with a tech get slaughtered because it was too busy pretending to be a zerker to actually repair anyone. 

 

Dont hate the mech, hate the player. I have no fear of enemy techs. They are just another target to be handled. If you fight a class C and you rage quit because it was getting tech help, think about which target you should have been aiming at.

Yep, you don't fight back snipers with Brawlers on an open field

 

The Techie is cool and its niche fits well in the meta. Some few adjustements are required here and there though (mostly mechanics)

Yeah, the main thing to fix with Techs is to adjust their points earned so that they don't always come out on top of the podium every match.

I had considered how my proposed adjustments may help achieve that.

They would hopefully lead to them getting fewer points from healing and more from dealing damage themselves. I'd expect a reduction in those crazy assist points. I want more of a battle medic and less of a field nurse....

try killing a good C class mech pilot with your techie

Yeah. not all C drivers are Good C drivers.
I'd have no hope in hell killin Putrefaction's brawler with a tech. I come close when I bring orblordin flak brawler.
I can't put enough damage on him in any A unless he's distracted. It just hits hard and eats up my bullets like they're tic-tacs.
