The problem is if u make it any more powerful u just have a hard to kill high damage god suit. Heavys need to be one or the other. And iv been using heavys at adv level and tbh yes they needed more health but the hmg was fine.

Heavys are ment for point defense not slaying

The amount of heavies I see charging objectives by myself or not approaching a situation tactically is frightening.

I'm not even trusting people anymore when they say heavies are UP because I see stupid **** like this, when I see Idiots from Molon Labe use heavy suits to the point where I almost **** myself in fear of them (travelling in squads with at least one logi) then I know something is painfully wrong, as well as the HMG ripping me apart when I approach an objective.

When the SP 6x comes into place I'll have enough to get my proto heavy and boundless HMG and I'll be able to see for myself if the heavy is legitimately **** poor or idiots just don't use them right and lone ranger the suit. (the Molon Labe experience supports the later)

Threads I've seen asking for nerfs: - Laser Rifles - Assault Rifles - Scrambler Rifles - Mass Drivers - Grenades - Uplinks - Forge Guns - HAVs - LAVs Basically almost everything everyone uses in pubs EXCEPT the bloody HMG. Isn't that funny? I haven't seen a nerf HMG thread since Chromosome. ( ._.) <('.'<) "There there Mr. Heavy, it's not your fault CCP doesn't care about you"

The simple truth is heavys are either a lot of health or a lot of damage. The only tweak the hmg should get is too its spread. Heavys are a point defense class assaults are the ones who take the points and scouts find out wtf is going on. Iv seen this happen at all levels of pc as well. I never got why u use heavy suits as ur playstyle more fits assult tbh. I Di respect your view I just disagree with it :-). And your breathern are really really bad players :-( Point defense? A Gallente suit + AR + a logi behind him can do the same exact job, better. So I don't get this argument. I strongly disagree on this "point defense" argument with a weapon that chucks spitballs at people. Good heavies know the limits of the suit / class, and anyone who's been playing this game for as long as some people here in this thread know the limits, and knowing the limits of any suit means nothing if the weapon they use is poop! I'm sorry, but I've had some good games against good teams with the HMG also, but that's because I played like a pssy. Like literally hiding behind medium suits and crying for reps after an encounter with an SMG! It's pathetic the playstyle of a heavy now in PC games. Hiding and chucking nades, then when some people approach you, you jump and say "BOO!" and literally spray and pray they're bad players so you'll live long enough to repeat the process. That's pathetic. A class that used to push the lines of assault in Chromosome and before, forced to being a pssy camper with a big arse heavy weapon... lol. Funny I have more confidence in an SMG than I do with an HMG. I strongly disagree with people that say the HMG is fine. The gun is not fine, and that's proven by ANYONE saying the gun is OP.

Advanced are still to be reckoned with however, so it may arguably still be balanced. I haven't skilled high into heavy's though, so I can't comment. You're obviously balancing the class based on pubs, which is the reason the class is a joke and almost none existent in competitive gameplay.
