Here's the problem: the heavy's only weakness is his mobility. (And no equipment slot, but whatever) You could argue that the heavy suits have another weakness by having less module slots than medium suits, but remember that the only heavy suit we have at the moment is the Amarr suit, and they always have the least modules.
But anyways, mobility is the heavy's biggest weakness. They have the greatest tank, the best firepower, etc. So driving around in an LAV completely negates the heavy's only weakness, making it incredibly powerful. Why should they be allowed to do this? I do it all the time, personally, and I find that there is barely any counter(AV grenades do the trick, but hardly anyone uses those, and you need all three to destroy just one LAV, so not so practical). Hell, I've even seen other people use Sica's to roll up on people, jump out and annihilate them, then jump back in the Sica and drive off to their next victim.
So here's my question: do you think this is working as intended? Should heavies be allowed to cope with their greatest weakness with an incredibly easy, low risk ride like the LAV? Should some sort of animation be added for a heavy suit getting in and out of a vehicle to nerf their ganking power? I imagine the animation would be about 3-4 seconds long, just enough to put the ball back in the victim's court.
Thoughts, please.
1.) Mobility is not a heavy's greatest weakness... it's his second greatest weakness.
2.) If there is one role I can kill 99.9% out of the 100 times I face off against it, it is heavy. So, I welcome them getting out of their car. Although, it does p!ss me off when they have 0 health left and jump back in their LAV at the last second. 
If you're going to be bad, be bad with a purpose.

To reiterate, I could tell you all what a heavy's greatest weakness is, if you even care to know, but knowledge is power and I don't just give that away for free. Plus, word would get out to heavy players and then, if they were smart, it would cease being their greatest weakness; hence their ignorance would cease to benefit me.

I will say though... shotgunners LAV hopping.
That's actually something to be afraid of.

I've had several heavies try this tactic on me only to realize my Proficiency 5 gun trashes them and they can just instantly get back in right before I kill them and drive off with their tail between their legs.
^^^^ Exactly.

Definitely working as intended. and why are LAVs singled out here? can heavys not ride in tanks of fall from the firkin sky out of Dropships?!
Tanks are worse than LAVs. You might as well just buy a tank. One of my hobbies is taunting people who try to run me over with their car. They hit me more than once and I still don't die, but all of a sudden BAM I'm dead and I see a tank running over my body in the kill screen. If anything LAVs are UP.
