Now?

The burst has always been a beast. It did not need to be buffed the way it did.

The assault buff was to make you superior to scouts and logis, not heavies.

Working as intended.

In short words, now you have really no chance to run in a town (as logi,assault,mando) when theres Six Kin Burst HMG around.

Entirely working as intended.

Don't screw with a heavy and a screw won't screw you up. Entirely fair and balanced considering they have only a bit higher HP than assaults now, much less speed, terrible scanning, can't jump over railings, no equipment and triple the hitbox size.

They have every disadvantage imagineable and competent strafing on a medium or scout frame always mitigated more damage than buffer tanking on a heavy did. You simply don't see it very often because most people are incompetent. Now the assault is even better. I shed no tears for the fallen.

The heavy is meant to win every single head-to-head infantry engagement on even terrain within their killzone. There are no exceptions to this ever. If a heavy cannot do this then all of his disadvantages are in vain and the dropsuit class is redundant, meaning only assault's should ever be fielded.

The heavy was not created to give players another solution to the same problem. They were created to serve a very specific use -- combat superiority above all other dropsuits at the expense of transition speed and equipment support. That may make some people uncomfortable, but to be perfectly blunt the majority of you guys are idiots and wouldn't know good game design if it bit you in the ass.

I call BS Dimitri, you may do that once in a very perfect scenario. But seriously dude a statement like that and we all know you don't even run a heavy suit.

LOL @ Dimitri
