Heavies as a suit are fine...
Minmatar Heavy needs either a substantial HP buff or another speed buff for the low ehp to be worth it.
And all heavies need to be locked to heavy weapons in the H slot and sidearm weapons in the S slot...with the obvious exception of commandos. I'm so tired of people taking MLT heavy suits and/or STD+ heavy/sentinel suits, throwing a RR/CR/MD on it and proceeding to wreck everything on the battlefield in a cheap suit while providing absolutely ZERO utility to their team.
Fix it, CCP!

Assaults and Logis are designed for a specialized role...

CCP has stated that in a 1v1 situation, an assault should beat a sentinel. I'm at work and can't be bothered to find the exact post, but I specifically remember a dev saying that.

That said, I would like to reiterate that heavies as a suit are fine. With my Minmatar Commando I shred any and all heavies beyond 20-30 yards. The engagement goes something like this:
1) I'm running from one point to another. 375 shields 325 armor.
2) HMG heavy sees me and opens fire from 25+ meters away.
3) My shields drop to 350/375 and I turn to the attacking heavy. We'll say he has 400 shields and 700 armor.
4) I open fire with my CR, be it my BK-42 or RS-90. I'm currently 330/375 shields. Opposing heavy drops to 300/400 shields.
5) Opposing heavy walks toward me. I backpedal, continuing to fire. 300/375 vs 200/400.
6) 250/375. 50/400.
7) 200/375. 0/400, 650/700.
8) Heavy begins to look for cover. I press the advantage and attack. 175/375, 500/700
9) Heavy tucks tail and runs. I follow. 175/375, 350/700.
10) Heavy reaches cover and hides behind it to wait for me, 193/375, 350/700.
11) I whip out my MD and open fire around the corner. 201/375, 175/700.
12) I continue to rain fire (literally). 219/275, 0/700.
13) +50
14) Return to the objective I was originally headed to after a slight detour.
If the heavy has a logi it's completely different. Immediately go to MD and force them back when I find cover. But the above story is generally how it goes 1v1.
