Try using the HMG now, steady. It couldn't even kill time.
Hit detection went through the roof for everybody else, so they are dealing 100% of the DPS they put out. The HMG is still guaranteed to miss shots, because thats the way the weapon is designed. It simply can't hang with everybody else.

Stop running straight at them and learn how to strafe while aiming.
Suddenly you won't be getting killed anymore. |

It's guaranteed to miss shots because thats the way it works with the dispersion. Unless you fire it for a full second while standing still or crouching 90% of your DPS is missing. You can get away with that in pubs, because pubs are full of people who are actually just that bad.
If I crouch, Its headshots for the other guy all day long. It doesn't matter how accurate it makes me, he can still strafe and avoid my fire via skill but I'm dead in the water and not allowed to mess anything up.
If I strafe, I'm missing the majority of my shots regardless of how long I fire because thats the way the weapon works, and not gaining really any evasion if my opponent isn't completely stupid. It is not difficult to hit a heavy, moving or still.
For a heavy to be effective he absolutely must track his target perfectly for the entirety of the engagement while remaining relatively motionless. This applies even at the closest ranges, which is beyond stupid. If he fails to track his target for even half a second, the DPS advantage goes to his opponent and his opponent WILL NOT fail to finish off the gigantic heavy suit target.
People who don't use an HMG often say that we are using it wrong, yet for how popular the HMG is there is absolutely no one in PC who is currently "using it right". That should tell you something about the difference in effectiveness between using it on good opponents and using it on bad ones.
