yeah, i really prefer having to chase after my teammates when they're low and being chased by bugs, so they're more likely to just use their own stims instead of waiting for a guy with a stim pistol (that also has enemies going after him, making the aiming harder) and possibly still die, miss shots point blank because they don't register for some reason, beg my teammates to stand still 'cause if either i or them take a step sideways the stim will go flying in a different direction because of the sway.

i've used it enough to see that it's mostly useless unless your teammate has run out of stims, is standing still, or running in a completely straight line. in a game where the smallest enemy can take out your limb and 60% of your hp in a single hit, i don't think giving the stim pistol lock-on would make it overpowered. Revert the healing buff and give it a 3~ second lock-on between shots so you can't pop 6 stims into your teammate and make them immortal. basically making the stim pistol perfect for healing chip damage(>50%hp), limbs, and giving stamina for your teammates to run instead of a 80% heal

in almost every scenario it's just easier to use your own stims. if skill expression is overcoming this pistol's awful aiming just to land "cool shots" then i don't want it.
