I've begun to notice what every other full-time heavy already knew, the heavy is truly the least cared about class by CCP. I mean, it is the only class with only a single racial variant, hell, even the scouts have two, and we all KNOW how little attention scouts get. The defining advantage of the heavy, his weapon, only has two choices, a big cannon, or a big machine gun. Wow, choices, choices. The heavy sentinel bonus is a very negligible reload speed increase and a literally useless overheat damage reduction. And to top it off, AR TTK makes the naturally high eHP mostly useless.

And yet, I love to play the heavy. I can't think of a single redeeming feature of the heavy to speak of, but I still love to run around unleashing my HMG in people's faces, and racking up kills. It's actually a challenge, compared to what I would do on my logi, hang out at the edge of the combat and pick people off with charged scrambler rifle shots. But in the middle of the firefight, I'm jumping over the grenades, running towards the enemy instead of away from them, and the crazy thing is, they are running AWAY from me.

I'd certainly recommend specc'ing into at least STD heavies + HMG to get a taste of the change of gameplay that happens when you move from a medium frame with a light weapon to a heavy with a really bug gun.

Yeah I'd say heavies need a hobby. As a logibro I can run it in so many different ways it never gets boring. Heavies (usually when not supported by us chubby chasers) need another role they can play on the battlefield. My heavy alt. also is skilled into tanks, so I only use my heavy when I need ISK to run my next tank, and that works pretty well for me. Playing too msny consecutive games as a heavy being crushed by other weapons really demoralises you.

jumping over the grenades,

Lol, I feel the exact same way.. except I just switched to Gal Logi w/ lolAR from a heavy.

Go figure, change of pace I guess is fun... but damn this suit is easy to pwn with even just with advanced + GEK.

yes, yes it is. I have the basic Gallente medium, and that is still better than my heavy set up by a long shot.
