It's really depressing just how right they both are.
One of the truly worst elements to this game has been basing nerfs on politics instead of data. When players can sit post-match and easily match Name/KDRs/Weapon relationships then it doesn't look good on the Devs who have even more in-depth data available.
As for the main topic goes the active protest is the way to go. Endless forum posts that may not move the Devs but at least warn newer players from making a potentially bad mistake. If we can get enough angry fatties together I would suggest squading up and lizard lounging on the MCC. BS on coms, drink beer or take shots and talk about things that have no relation to Dust 514. To be fair to the team post in chat and attempted one warning on voiced comms.

The way I see it add another 100/100 on top of it and you guys are set defensively especially once they get the racials for damage resistance against light weapons No, we need our killing ability improved, not our damage sponge ability. Plus douchebags will abuse the suits by fitting ARs, Sniper rifles and whatnot.
We lost that fight. This game has a definitive history of nerfing weapons with little or no effort put into re-balancing. That is a reality we can expect to persist. The best we can hope for would be to slow the nerfs as much as possible and hope the assurance of incremental changes wasn't a lie.
That leaves us with Heavy Suit changes. Even if it means they end up more useful with Light weapons.
Personally I'd be pushing harder for changes myself but figure the Dev's still had their hands full figuring out the scouts.

An apt and poignant analyst. The perfect adapt or die response.

Feedback to make the class better? Here we go again:
- Decrease HMG bullet spread
- Increase DMG if you're not decreasing bullet spread
- A skill to reduce spread (FFS!)
- A skill for explosive resistance
- Reduce the headshot penalties on heavies! It's not hard to shoot their heads, they're only the size of a microwave.
- Small arms resistance (?) People brought this up many times
- If none of these ideas suit you and you're still thinking buffing eHP is the solution for everything, then increase it by 50-100% because 20% is nothing, honestly, that may as well not even be done because heavies will die just as fast.

After trying out the extra buffer (mad props to whomever pushed for it), the last bonus SP event, and squading with people who don't care if they get stomped. The next solution is to change the head hit-box to a regular area for damage purposes. The slowness of the suit, size of the hitbox, and the slowing while using certain weapons has basically broken any balance head-shots had.
The only times my heavy suit has worked is when I'm in full control of the engagement. That means either FGing on a moderately high structure in an area that isn't being contested by mid-range weapons or driving around in my cherry LAV doing Red Barren attacks and hoping the other guy doesn't have a good gun-game.
Forget the grind-fest combats. My fits will always cost more than a BPO Medium Frame and BPO AR/ScR, both of which out DPS me in most situations anyways.
As things stand I to have to AFK just cover losses. Whoever is the supposed economist on staff has failed.

WHAT ABOUT THE SCOUT?
You have 2 classes that may as well not exist in DUST.

Speaking of the scouts. Tried out my 3+ million Skill Point dedicated Nova Knifer the other day. Wow, I had to earn those kills and everything except direct sunlight was killing me. Sneaking up on someone is harder now that many people are doing 360-scans.
All light frames need to have the current skins replaced with shiny black latex and zippers in unusual places.
