Please nerf this crutch. It's so freking annyoing getting vaporized in a second in a 800 ehp suit that cost 200k isk to a freking militia heavy with republic HMG. Like wtf? It kills so fast there is no time to react.

HMG + 1900 ehp heavy+ 1 logi= 16 assaults.
This is called TACTICS and TEAMWORK, these two are designed to be overpowered after all this is a team-based game.

this game literally want to squeeze the head of and kill the guy that uses HMGS,


Who the fk thought it was a good idea to give the most OP gun in the game to the highest HP suit in the game and then give them resistances.
Didn't I use to say the same thing about tanks? So how does that work?
Futhermore there are considerably more overpowered weapons such as the assault rail rifle, burst combat rifle, light missile turrets.

ALSO- fk the "fight em at range" theory, just CUZ an assault rifle can OUT DPS them, guess who has 5X the HP I do!!!! Also, it takes almost all of a clip to kill a freking tanked heavy. It''s ludicrous.
You have less than 400 EHP?, please don't over exaggerate, if you do have less than 400 EHP, why are you gettimg spotted by a heavy?


Im not saying nerf the Heavy suit (It's fine) but nerf the HMG... This gun is the most OP gun since the freking Tac AR crisis and probably more OP than Flaylock god times and Tac Ar times.
Once again you are over exaggerating, the shotgun is currently more popular than the HMG and the gallante, caldari and amarr scout suits have more than 45% of the market share, go figure.

1.) It doesn't matter how much HP you have, HMG kills you in an instant.
It makes all the difference if you are over exaggerating, do they or do they not have 5x your EHP?

2.) Since when did swarming a room not become a tactic? If 16 people swarmed a room all wearing STD assaults, they will get obliterated by a STD heavy with STD HMG backed up by a logi. ( I am a heavy and can literally destroy the enemy team myself getting 30-40 kills in a match with ease using a STD amarr heavy)
It depends which you think is more tactical, a group of people bungling into the same room at same time. Or 2 guys's who are actually working together to become greater than the sum of their parts.

3.) Shotgun is nowhere near as popular as the HMG. You must be out of your mind dude. Ever match, the kill feed consists of 50 HMG kills.
Circumstantial Evidence, can you reference this via market data or other available data? No, as i previously memtioned the shotgun sells more units than HMG's

4.) HMG is OP, it's more powerful now than it has been in freking chromosome.
Referenceable? Or is this just more hot air out your ***?

Small missiles-whatever, at least it takes some skill to use an ADS. The HMG, you press r1 and do a 360 and you kill everybody in the room.
Never see one being used by a poor tanker then?

assault rail rifle- lol- what??? wtf? The last time I saw this in the killfeed was a long time ago.
Assault combat rifle?? It's just a worse SMG.
See what I mean circumstantial, you don't see them, I can't see anything else in the killfeed. The difference, I can actual reference data that shows the ARR is overpowered, secondly BURST Combat Rifle, learn to read!

5.) stop throwing random numbers at me. 45%, where the ef did that come from? your ass? Barley anyone uses caldari assault-minmatar scout-amarr scout- gallante assault- minmatar assault. All other suits in the game are frequently used. Heavies are probably more spammed than scouts just because of HMG. Come on now.. who can't resist the instakill death ray coupled with the highest HP suit in the game.
The gallante scout were 18%, the caldari was 12% and the Amarr was 5% ish, this was refrencable from Dustthang.dk, unfortunately it doesn't show any data, however there is a market evaluation here on the forums if you wish to go looking.


Fin...
Indeed, game set and match to me, unless you actually want to back up your claims with numbers and facts instead of just opinion.

Also- TTK a HMG heavy is like 6-8-9-10 seconds with a rifle, TTK a assault while using the HMG is about .5 seconds.
If you are the in optimal ramge of the HMG then yes it will, at 35m however you can take em out with Scrambler Pistol if you so desire.
I used the darn thing today and it's easier than the swarm launcher.
