I call BS, thats not even enough damage to drop an unfitted MLT heavy dropsuit.

Yeaaa

I'm an alright AR player, not a slayer by any means, and heavies were a joke for me to kill. Anyone who says otherwise are bad players, seriously.

A universal health boost would make the AR even more the weapon of choice. It wouldn't serve any purpose.

Other weapons would still be less useful. You already need up to 9 shots with a sniper rifle to down a fully buffed heavy.

Balance the AR! Either a damage reduction or a nerf of the optimal range.

Paran is my *****

Breach AR is supposed to be the Caldari rifle, but most likely with TAC AR range. Standard AR is the Gallente rifle (after a range nerf) and the TAC AR is the Amarr rifle.

Yeah and the HMG is made to be point defence, not charge forward kick in the door like I see most heavies trying to play it
Also learn to move around, its ridiculous that these days the only ones I see trying to dodge at all are shotgun scouts or guys running MDs, I see so so so many other people just stand there counting on their gear numbers to carry them and funnily enough its primarily heavies that do that

Heh, I remember this one hate mail I got from a heavy just because I killed him with a standard submachine gun but you know what its not because the SMG is oh so much better than the HMG but because he was a bad player
Hell he even had me dead to rights, it was on Ashland near D, he was on that little bridge and I ran behind that piece of wall right next to for cover and we were say 15 meters apart and my only way towards him was right there in his line of fire and I didnt have an escape route and was wearing AV nades so no help there
Now what does this guy do? He decides to advance on me for some stupid reason and got close enough that when I did pop out he barely took my shields while I hugged his side circle strafing him unloading into the side of his head

So you see, bad playing not because the HMG is weak, hell he could have stood where he was and tossed a grenade my way to flush me out or kill me but no he decided to trundle forward like a dumb fat kid

Yeah, to far when 35 meters is spitting distance
Start playing a heavy like a mobile turret and sit in ambush spots and marvel at how easy it is to get kills

I've seen plenty all advanced heavies take out proto assaults. You're doing it wrong. Did you forget that perhaps you should hide behind cover? Sorry your "proto suit standing in the middle of the road mowing down red berries" tactic doesn't work anymore.
