Heavies were just as OP in Codex, it's just that since many things have been balanced out in Chromosome, one of the few things left that needs tweaking is the heavy. So therefore it is now feeling the heat from the community.
Now here is the thing, the lightly speced heavies are ideal for the game right now, they provide support by laying down vast amount of gunfire or AV and can absorb a bit of damage, but they are not near invincible and still need to be close to you to do significant damage. However the highly speced heavies are essentially walking tanks that can basically OHK you with a HMG if within medium range, and damage you about as much as an AR can at above medium ranges. They also need some serious firepower and commitment to take out, which is usually always impractical given that there are other players in the game.
If the maps were huge this wouldn't be too big a deal, but these maps are way too small to give such firepower at the range it has with such a strong character.
The fact here is, heavies that are well speced are the new Codex dropships of Chromosome. |

"Well Specced Heavy's are good".
That's what I got. Unless I'm 10-15 m in front of a Heavy, I can:
A. Take a Duvolle, put a clip in him.
B. Take a Laser, put a clip in him.
C. Take a Mass Driver, put a clip in him.
D. Take a Sniper, put a clip in him.
E. Throw grenades.
F. Run up in a Scout Suit and 2 Shot him with a Shotgun/SMG.
G. Take an LAV and run him over (can be substituted with any vehicle).
This list is highly situational and in my actual experience, moot. I could make a list 10 times longer than that against an AR player. But something written on paper and something experienced are completely different.
Too many people make these claims with the assumption that the situation is ideal, which it rarely ever is. Luck plays more of a role than anything in this game. And with heavies having so much health and firepower, luck is in their favor.
I know you all really like having your near invincible killing machines, but you have to admit they are OP for the sake of balance and long-term viability for the game. Stop being so selfish.
