Your logic fails. Hard.
Last time I checked, my heavy suit's job description was to get shot at. In fact, if a heavy is doing it properly, he should have several people shooting at him at any given moment. We have the most hp, the largest hitbox, and the slowest movement speed with the most intimidating weapons. Our job description is literally "walking target - with a huge gun", which saves our squishier blues from taking damage.
The problem with the aimbot assist is that it is too good. When people saw a heavy three days ago, panic set in. We didn't take less damage because we were harder to hit - that 10% reduction to our strafe speed amounts to what, less than half a meter per second? Nor do I believe we were being blessed with much benefit from any lag or hit detection problems because of our awful mobility made it impossible to take advantage of said problems. It was because panicking red dots don't tend to aim well while also dodging HMG fire.
Now, the intimidation is gone. Those panicking reds? They no longer have to aim well while dodging HMG fire because their aimbot assist can track us especially perfect given our huge hitbox size and lack of mobility - all they have to do is run side to side and jump up and down with their superior maneuverability while the computer aiming handles the hard part for them.
Scouts are screwed not because of a lack of mobility, but because of their paper thin armor. The aim assist doesn't have to track them nearly as well or for nearly as long.
If you cannot see how broken this is, you need to step down as a CPM member and let someone less biased or more observant handle the task of representing the community at large.
Claiming that people need to use tactics is a serious affront to the majority of the playerbase, it assumes the poster saying this is somehow one of the only ones intelligent enough to know how to hide behind a wall or move in a group, which is a ridiculous assumption to make given that the vast majority of the playerbase already knows how to hide behind walls or move with a group. Even the stupidest of blue dots understands this concept, and assuming you're the Zhuge Liang of Dust because you use the most basic fundamental tactics to give yourself a strategic advantage is hilariously presumptuous.
