    its because of the fact you can't deal full damage and have shittier accuracy unless you rev up for a full second which is enough time for someone to duck behind a wall and get away from you, and he only has two miniguns that are even worth considering (stock & tomislav) whilest the others are too situational (natacha & brass beast) or are flat out useless (huo)
    AND he's a sniper magnet and considering how many people aimbot without even trying to hide it, its miserable to play heavy today

    Honestly, heavy would be fixed if they just gave him a dedicated sandwich slot. Giving him more mobility is a horrible idea. If heavy had the ability to use a sandwich and a shot gun, he'd be able to dish out damage way faster when he needs it and it'll make him more independent.

      there's no way to balance a heavy to not be complete aids where you either destroy or get destroyed without sweeping changes to his gun
      every other class (except the pyro but his range is pretty small which leaves plenty of room for oc**terplay) can be outplayed and made to whiff shots but heavy's a threat as long as he gets a chance to see you and do anything ranging from destroying you in close range to forcing you behind cover or you trying to rev but getting spammed out from behind a corner and forced to run

        Yeah. Now that I think about it, I get the feeling that valve balanced heavy around working with your team. He feels like such shit to play outside of that because he's designed to get fricking bullied to death when he's alone. Pretty much every class can work independently save for maybe medic, but he's the 2nd fastest class in the game.

    I enjoy playing Heavy, he's a glass cannon but he's fun to play. My biggest problem with him is that his unlocks suck. His biggest weakness is movement and the only way to buff it comes from the GRU, which is really ugly, and using it basically sacrifices his melee weapon offensively due to the instant health penalty. The lunchbox items (Sandvich or Banana) are mandatory if you want to court a medic OR don't have a medic to court, which sacrifices his secondary. The stock minigun is arguably his best weapon (Tomislav is very close) but literally nothing else is even worth considering if you're playing seriously.

        The Heavy is absolutely a glass cannon, he's not a 'tank' at all, the realization of this really helped me improve my gameplay with him. His low movement speed makes him extremely easy to kill. The fact that his health is higher is more than completely negated by the fact that he takes substantially more damage in every engagement. His range is also extremely limited and is basically useless outside of a certain perimeter, which he can't even escape from if things go badly. If you can get him in just the right position you can deal enormous amounts of damage very quickly, but caught anywhere outside his pole position he's an easy kill.

          i understand what you meant but you are still underselling heavy's presence on the battlefield. a heavy with decent positioning is still a force to reckon with for your team that has now to focus fire on him to at make him at least retreat otherwise those 300 hp of fat and muscle are only going to gain more ground and advantage over you

          no other class in the game forces you to do that

        He only has 100 more health than solder, which really isn’t anything
        He still dies in 3 measly point blank scattergun shots.
        He could die while still revving up and his huge character model is just asking for people to shoot at you so you just melt sometimes with zero mobility to reposition
        Heavy is also just a free kill 99% of time to any half decent sniper
        Its incredibly easy and free to instantly deal half of his health in damage across map at any time

        Maybe you're right? You can occasionally surprise enemies with the faster movement speed, sometimes I fake a retreat around a corner where I know I'd die anyway and then turn around and sock the guy perusing me. But the heavy's primary deals 10x the damage at melee range, so you're only going to draw your melee in desperate situations, and the GRU's health penalties frequently turn you into a OHKO. IDK, I think I'd prefer bare fists in a melee fight, the GRU's utility as a movement item can't be beat though.

        • 2 years ago
          Anonymous

          Heavy is just the worst class to melee offensively due to his speed. When you need to get really close to someone to hit them, being able to actually catch up is important. So, even if the GRU's purpose is just to let Heavy position himself faster at the cost of making him temporarily lose health, that already makes it much better at fighting than literally every other option. It doesn't matter if something doesn't drain your health, have resistance or more damage; reducing your health and actually killing someone is better than just waddling at someone while they shoot you dead.

      Still not as oppressive as sniper. Soldiers and demos are tough, but you feel like you can position a bit differently or retreat back, even when slow. Also if you have a medic on you, you are totally fine.

        For the record, being butthurt about other major alternative primaries doesn't invalidate his point that Heavy could use a serious change-up to his spin and shoot gameplay. There is nothing tying any other "failure" to a hypothetical new one for a completely different class.

      I like Deep Rock Galactic's autocannon, which does more damage than its minigun but slowly builds up to the max fire rate and has to reload. If Heavy got that with the added benefit of not slowing him down as much as the miniguns, it could be good enough for a new mobility-based playstyle.

      basically making fat scout/punch heavy viable. trades the huge damage of minigun for mobility and tankiness, meant to be more of a damage sponge but his longer presence and greater movement speed is offset my massive loss of damage potential.

              One or maybe two-shotting enemies at close range could be better than DPS'ing them down, depending on the situation. Ideally there'd be a middleground where the proposed burst weapon would excel in situations the traditional minigun would fail to do enough DPS. The replacement of the spin-up time for an awkward reload could change things significantly.

    if I ever get around to making my own tf2c server I'd replace heavy's shotgun with a rifle that's basically a cross between the revolver and the sniper rifle and make sandvich a fourth slot item
    would this fix heavy?
    would be easier to have a decent weapon to quickly shoot while traveling which is also decent at a distance and you don't have to sacrifice your healing

      Amby isnt bad, yeah it can’t instantly deal 102 damage accross map but it can still deal 80-102 damage close to medium range where the spy should be anyways and still like 50 at range which isn’t bad considering spy is not the sniper class man and a rocket which has travel tome only deals like 20-40 depending on if its a hit or splash?
      Give it another year or two of people actually trying it instead of throwing into the trash because its not hilariously broken anymore and the common opinion will change
      The real problem with the amby is its hard to justify using anything else but the diamond back or the longer clock revolver

    Don't get me wrong, I like Heavy as a character. I like that he's supposed to be simply be big tank man who shoot big gun, but compared to every other class he's as shallow as it gets. He DESPERATELY needs something to make him stand out more.
    I would say he's the class made for brainlets who can't handle advanced mechanics, but both Soldier and Pyro are objectively easier to play and can do extremely well without using their tech. Also due to being a fat sniper and spy magnet, no newbie is going to have fun playing as Heavy over the other two.

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      He's also not made for brainlets because with poor positioning and team awareness you'll get fricked, while other classes are easier to play looser with and their mobility gets them in and out of situations and they can play at their tempo. Mechanically simple, but his limitations you can't play him brainlessly or you'll get rekt.

          I didn't day the most brain intensive. I'm just sayin he has no mechanics so all you have is positioning and awareness, while others can compensate.

          >no decent enemy sniper
          Yes, if the other team is bad and brainless, you too can be bad and brainless. But I'm just going to assume some levels of competency otherwise talking about classes makes little sense regardless.

          It's not. The Tomislav is only better at medium range... What the frick are you doing firing at medium range? If you can see that far, a sniper is going to instakill you, or a demo is going to pill 200hp off you before you can react. You also lose to rushing pyros. Generally speaking, the Tomislav is for babies that haven't mastered positioning yet, although it may have some utility on certain maps with longer combat ranges.

    Instead of doing what Valve did and giving Heavy speed to make him more interesting to play and a more effective solo roamer type, they should give him vertical mobility. Give him low gravity fists or exploding fists that allow him to hit walls to gain height at the cost of health.

    How do I get rid of 12 y/o who scream in their mic and call me gay for having anything that remotely resembles "anime" as my profile pic?

      Don't have profile pic that regardless of its nature, provoke responses from people temporarily predisposed towards making such judgements.
      Learn to banter.
      Ignore.
