Hey look, someone who's QQing about unintelligent QQ with unintelligent QQ

Keep that wheel turning bro.

It also trivializes the 1 second TTK in most cases, which is just sad. Math exists, and when I watch most top players going only for body shots and coming out on top, I know that gun game is certainly not the issue.

So, my post stands.

This man speaks truth. The sad truth is that this game doesn't require gun game. With less than a second TTK and aim assist all you have to do is pull the trigger. Combat and Rail rifles are just the new FOTM. It's CCP company policy to nerf it after a few patches. Just wait, it's going to happen.

I kill people in about 1 second all, the, time.

Stop being bad and you would too.

Aww, you must be new here, so I'll go easy on ya. I have been a dedicated HMG user since closed beta, early codex to be exact. In that time, never once have I specced into light or medium frame suits. Thats right, even now I have close to 20m SP and save for maybe 2 million every point of it is in the heavy frame. This includes core skills and skills for armor repping, etc... Do you know what the real difference between the heavy and medium frame? The heavy frame gives you enough time to say oh sh!t before you die.

Lmao. I love it when people fit a militia heavy suit and use it a couple times and think they know everything there is to know about a heavy. According to your logic, if a heavy is supposed to sit in one spot the whole match then logis would only be able to fit a sidearm and modules, scouts would be limited to sniper rifles and scan tools, and the only people you would see pushing the objective are assault suits with logi's behind them.

Have you ever played eve, or even watched someone play it? Did you know that you can fit a single ship multiple different ways to serve different purposes? Dust is no different. While dust is based around balance and diversity (while CCP is horribly failing at this, it is the main purpose.) I could fit 4 proto kin kats and run almost as fast as a scout, if I wanted to. Here's a good idea, spend 20 million SP into the heavy and then tell me how you feel about it, being out DPS'd by weapons that on paper have less than you do, but seemingly makes no difference on the battlefield. Do yourself a favor and try to educate yourself a little bit more before you look anymore like a fool.

At this point in time, with all of it's limitations, there is no real way to effectively play a heavy. But I will tell you that sitting in a corner is probably the least effective. Sure, you might not die a lot, but you're also setting yourself up for an easy ambush, since everyone and their grandma is running a scanner. The most effective way to play a heavy is to keep moving, period. Sure you don't move fast, but if you move a lot and stay behind cover you become much more unpredictable as to where you'll be next. Running out in the open doesn't happen very often if you know how to use the hills and surrounding buildings as good cover. Having a lot of HP is nice too but for me having lower HP with higher reps makes me much more useful in the moment. Defending a point or assaulting one makes no difference as a heavy, you still die the same either way.

That isn't coming from running a BPO heavy occasionally. This is probably hundreds of hours of testing builds and learning maps and investing in the wrong skills and whatnot. The heavy and the scout have probably the steepest learning curve of all the frames, so when people say it's EZ mode they've either never touched it or did okay a few matches and think they know everything.
