Supression and Buffs in pvp...

Kk, i understand why i get supressed when i attack someone, or hit aim maybe...or even heal myself....however what i don't understand is why i do i get supressed when i try to buff my teammates like casting ice shields on them for example. I mean my teammate is jumping somewhere over half of the RV and i get all supressed buffing them so i am basically trying to chase them with sprint like speed..... @_@

I could assume that it is hard to implement but seriously why do i get punished for buffing my teammates (not even healing them actually)? Removing travel supression for buffing teammates would be nice. Thank you.

Actually, the reason it's done is so that you can't just bounce around forever buffing your teammates kiting everyone else. I makes a bit less sense because of the significant diminishing returns but that's the reason. So buffers can get caught.

Buffer would get supressed anyway once you attack them..=.=

That would require you actually get in range to attack them (not everyone is a ranged character and it's not too hard to simply skirt the periphery of a person's range if the buddy you're buffing is the one engaging you)

It's so your buffers can get ganked DUH! I love playing support toons both in pve and pvp, but have rebuilt all my pvp toons into pve ones since the changes made to pvp. For some reason I don't see the fun in casting Adrenaline Boost and Fortitude and then get ambushed by 3-5 villains....
