Idea Steak and health regen.

If this were implemented I think that it would discourage teamwork and playing objectively.

 

imagine buffed heavies with passive steak and health regen

 

Every class has some form of regen mechanic. Whether it be steak, or a custom regen for the class.
Classes with steak:
-Heavy
-Soldier
-Medic (plus passive regen ability)
-Pyro
-Elf
-Dwarf
-Fashionista
-Engineer (plus cake regen)
-Necro
Classes with customized regen:
-Ninja: crouch with sword out to regen health.
-Assassin: Successfully use assassinate to restore health
-Mage: Heal spell gives regen.
-Chemist: Health potions (regen and instant health)
Hope this helps.

Why classes don't have both isn't so the game doesn't become crazy unbalanced.

 

and chemist

 

Would make the objective of the game extremely easy.
It's already easy enough too...
If you want health, seek a medic (or just play it ffs).

You'll get health if you kill someone with just your sword too.

 

7 hearts every 30 seconds is insane. Maintaining killstreaks is not the objective of the game. That is capturing. This makes capturing easier, and like I said, it's easy enough already.
If it were insignificantly small, it'd be a waste of developer time, of which we have none.
Huge -1 from me, not needed. CTF has never had health regen on all classes and I believe it should be kept that way.
Just get a medic. They don't have to follow you all game.

 

The reason this is a thing is to encourage team play and the use of support classes while discouraging camping/whatnot.

Classes like medic, elf, chemist and even mage can provide effects to other classes that either heal them or nullify/reduce incoming damage. Part of the reason these classes are viable is the fact that most classes cannot sustain themselves without support.

Killstreaks also don't really matter in terms of objective gameplay, so if you need to respawn to get items for an incoming push from the enemy team it's not that big of a desl.

 

Why don't you just get a medic? That's what they're there for.

 

If this were added, why would I ever need a support class? I'd rather not have this added -1

 

That would make it even worse as the person who survives a fight can run around for a bit and just regen back to full health on their own.

 

This would just slow the game down and encourage running away constantly instead of actually fighting. Overall I find this a bad idea in general.
