its sad that CCP deemed the heavy's armor too OP when the new scouts can slap on those armor plates and have as much armor as a heavy. might as well play scout if things are going this way What?

and with the 20% nerf hammer on the way, is there a reason to play as heavies? heavies can't even 1vs1 properly in 1.8, its like the heavies are back to pre 1.7 days where the HMG was like a giant BB gun that tickles the enemy's armor.

now its more like our armor is made out of marshmellows What?

Are you mental? HMG is rediculous. A couple of spins and the enemy's dead. Not to mention there is no way to defend yourself from a heavy now short of whipping RE's at them and hoping they don't run after you with the OP HMG. Quit bitching becase your OP stuff is getting nerfed. My scanners got destroyed but I'm not on here Waa Waa-ing about it. "Marshmallows"? Really? 'cause I've been shooting at heavies all day and can barely scratch them... before I'm killed by his rediculously ranged and accurate HMG. That's assuming I can get anywhere due to no skill OP Scouts with OP Cloaks and Shotguns.

Therefore why not buff mediums? Assaults specifically; logistics have their own role, now more than ever. ak.0 4 LYFE Large Missile Turrets: the real unicorns of DUST.

So far as one swing happens, those farthest away lose. Perhaps one day the pendulum will settle. Until then, you'll lose, until you win again, before you lose. You'd better hope this game lasts long enough (and the devs are nearly competent enough) for the pendulum to swing elsewhere, Hope is all you have.

So It's completely counterproductive to nerf the heavies and destroying the heavy scout balance we have now again... CCP CALM THE CRAP DOWN! Wait a minute, step back, and see how things are going, before you nerf everything into oblivion AGAIN! PLEASE If anything, buff the ASSAULT slightly!

Wait a minute, step back, and see how things are going, before you nerf everything into oblivion AGAIN! PLEASE If anything, buff the ASSAULT slightly! I don't really want a large EHP buff. I'd like a small (like 5%) damage buff, a small, maybe 10% on the outside HP buff, and a little more fitting. What I ALSO want is my heavy to still be able to tank direct hits from railguns. ak.0 4 LYFE Large Missile Turrets: the real unicorns of DUST.
