Yeah the HMG heavy is pretty much as easy mode as it gets. I enjoy my mostly-BPO HMG heavy because it's the cheapest thing that can go toe to toe with a bricked proto slayer logi and win consistently. It's relaxing to play- your gun shoots a big old cone of bullets, you've got more than double the EHP of most people on the field, and the voice in my head doesn't shriek at me to flank all the time.
Anyone who says the HMG needs a buff is an idiot. In 1.8 sentinels are going to be insanely powerful. My only hope for 1.8 balance is that the cloak is actually effective, as opposed to Halo-style where anyone with eyes in their head can easily pick out a cloaked player moving around the map. |

Also, you know it's a 750k cap total right? Not 750k from getting kills as a heavy and 750k from killing heavies? So you don't actually have to use a heavy if you don't feel like it. |

I think the heavy with HMG is the king of tight (no strafe) halways and cittys with lots of turns to force people in close. but beyond 20m with room enough to strafe im going to beat even a proto heavy hands down every time. I dont think the HMG needs a buff, it dose what it dose well, even beats out shotgun users majority of the time in citys for turn corner pownage.
If you're beating proto heavies at 20m it just means they've grown soft from having too many big CQC targets. If you've got the skills to track your target, the HMG will win out to about 25m, or 30m with the AHMG.
Bayeth: No one is saying that there aren't some incredibly skilled heavies out there, and these skilled heavies show it by crushing both everyone else and their fellow heavies. However, the characteristics of the heavy class, and the HMG especially, make it a forgiving role for those who do lack precise aim or quick reactions.
