Tldr
I have a fit for a heavy with proto AR. I don't use it very often. Usually I take it because it costs less than running an equivalent Gallente proto logi. I am going to die anyway, and as a pilot I need to be isk conscious. I also call it out if there is heavy resistance and I know that atleast two or three people will be shooting back at me with a better ranged weapon. It's my own force multiplier. My logi suit wastes money if I am going to only use my gun against true slayers, and as I am not skilled far into any medium suit, it makes sense to use a heavy.
Funny though, everyone writes theads about heavies and rifles, but what about heavy snipers?! That's just the kid from down the block with the worried mom who didn't want the other boys and girls playing to rough so she covered him in adamantium pillows.

Heavy suits with sniper rifles cant fit enough damage mods and have no equipment slots nor the PG/CPU to be a real threat
Eh maybe if he is not good. Head shots matter, target selection matters, location matters, and a simple kill may not mean much if the heavy sniper only had five kills the whole match, but when he killed a clone, somewhere the gun fight become 3 v 2 instead of an even fight. One can say that the sniper is not effective by looking at his end game stats, but you might miss the fact that his actions caused a force multiplier on the field in his teams favor. If you are unable to remove that sniper from his position, he will keep influencing that match.
