Is autodidact ever going to get buffed?

Especially with the new OP CoH, autodidact is looking pretty shite.

Did you know it can slow down your healing for an entire match with no upside? It does this often. I don’t think any other perk in the game just flat out makes you weaker half the time you use it. The description may as well read “slows healing by 20%” or some such.

Dont get me wrong it’s a fun perk when it actually works, and can be very powerful, but the downside is far too extreme. I’ve gone multiple games in a row where it never even got to neutral, and that’s with healing at every opportunity using Empathy. Going two full heals through Sloppy Butcher and not getting a single skill check is shite. Then finally getting a skill check only for it to reset the healing bar…and then the game ends.

Even though it’s also weak compared to CoH, at least Botany Knowledge increases your healing speed every time you use it.

At least make it so you have a higher chance of skill checks until max stacks.

    It’s a hard perk to buff honestly because when it works it can be insanely good. If I had to buff it I’d give a 7% increase in skill check odds (Makes it 15% per second)

    I would make it so it should only work on the owner while self-healing. Decreased the progress while hitting skill check and give an increased chance to get a skill check while healing by 5/6/7% and done. You have a good perk for solo q and not being abused by SWF. Jesus I should really be a game designer duh.

    Some perks are Junk. It's difficult to accept they killed your favorite perk with boons.

    I'd increase the odds of it triggering healing skillchecks to 15% and make it work with Med Kits too
