This should probably be in the Feedback/Requests board, but I'm going to put in here in General anyway.
So basically, I hate people that use heavy frames / Sentinels along with light weapons, no matter which weapon.
Period.
I can't tell you how many times I've been killed by a Sentinel with a RR, AR, or SCR, not because his gun is any better than my AR but because he simply had more HP than my Assault suit and he killed me first. Plus, heavies attract logi's naturally (unlike medium suits), so I can nearly kill him, die, spawn back in, and find him at full health again wrecking my team.
It's just such a dirty way to win. However, I'm not sure how to solve the problem. Taking away their ability to carry light weapons wouldn't make sense. What do you think? |

That actually doesn't bother me that much, since I never bother hunting snipers anyway. However let them make a video showcasing the Heavy with a SCR and I'll hate them for all eternity. |

How is a heavy using something besides an HMG or FG a "dirty way to win"? Because they have no dedicated light slot? Does that make a commando running duel SMGs dirty? They have no dedicated sidearm slots.
My problem is that it's just too easy. How is a medium suit supposed to counter it? (Which is why it's used most likely). One on one the heavy's got the upper hand. Maybe we should all use heavies instead of medium suits. |

Alright I'll admit that there's a lack of heavy weapons and that it contributes heavily to the issue (no pun intended). |

Well for one, if you're getting all up in a heavy's grill you're an idiot. heavies are only slightly more survivable in this low TTK anyway, so just treat it how you would any other suit at a distance.
Then there's the issue of the Scrambler Rifle/Rail Rifle Heavy...it's yucky. |

One on one the heavy's got the upper hand. Maybe we should all use heavies instead of medium suits. Im using medium suits primarily, and I kill heavies all the time. It's your lack of skills and tactics that's the problem. If you see it's a heavy, throw a grejade first and then pump his guts full of lead. Use your superior mobility to your advantage (the heavy will most likely be slower than you). Also, in what way is it a "dirty" way to win? Does the heavy somehow become superior because he used a light wepon rather than a heavy weapon? Your argument makes no sense...
The problem is that most light weapons have longer range than heavy weapons. Range is the advantage I have over heavies, until one has a Rail Rifle. At that point, he has the advantage over me because the base Sentinel HP is over 800, before stacking armor plates and/or shield extenders. |
