More consistency with ability keys

(Dipshit McGee) #1

Why are medic packs and ammo packs not bound to the same key? I get confused when I switch between them and it’s pretty frustrating to waste an airstrike when you’re just trying to throw an ammo pack, for example. One suggestion I have for this is to simply bind any “pack” ability to the same key. Another is to allow configs for each class, similar to Team Fortress 2.

Q = unique Merc ability
E = Class Ability

Merc ability : Medics = unique way of healing, Fire support unique way of AOE damage, Engineer = unique way of Area defense, Assault unique way of MOAR DAMAGE.

Class ability : Medics = Revive , Fire support = Ammo refill, Engineer = faster repair, Assault none.

It is consistent.

I rebound my keys from Q and E to MMB and G. I have to press G for ammo packs and MMB for health packs. Is there something I’m missing?

EIDT: Ah, I see. It’s consistent in theory, but in practice not so much. It would be more intuitive to have the packs bound to the same key. Or just allow configs for each class.

I can agree with the desire to allow configs for each class.
I had the same annoyance when I first started playing. It settled in eventually.

Though, after hours of playing as Aura, I find it annoying I can’t just press E to gib incap’d enemies. :wink:
