In the spirit of the Micro-Balance vs Macro-Balance thread here I want to address something that might indeed make a heavy with an HMG OP.
LAV's. As it stands, a Heavy can enter and exit a LAV instantly. This gives them amazing mobility. I'm sure some of you have fallen prey to the devastating assault of a Heavy riding up to a group of you solo,jumping out in optimum range,and moving you down. I'm sure some of you even are guilty of this devious trick.
The reason why this is OP is because it negates the Heavies biggest weakness; its lack of mobility. Using an LAV, a Heavy can get itself into it's optimum range with little to no threat to itself. It's ability to bail instantly gives it a lot of protection against AV; if the player is good enough and paying proper attention, he can anticipate the destruction of his LAV and not go down in flames himself.
I think, to balance this, giving heavies a .5 - 1 second delay before they can exit whatever vehicle would suffice. Makes perfect sense too, because those fat beasties would take a second to enter or exit a LAV while the more mobile suits could do so much faster.
What do ya'll think? |

Hmm, I really didn't think I was Q.Qing... You people are weird.
I was making this post objectively at an attempt at constructive analysis. Heavies don't give me any problems.
But since no one wants to have a dialogue, but instead wants to act like this...
*edit* Oh, I get it. You guys took my attention grabbing subject line which I intended as satire as being serious and therefor completely ignored the tone of the rest of the post. I'll be less subtle next time. |

Thank you for your suggestion, but this thread is not intended as a Feedback/Request thread. It was intended to raise one possibly legitimate concern about Heavies and their roles on the battlefield. Apparently this forum is a little sensitive right now and has decided to burn me as a witch and heretic for daring to suggest something might be unbalanced or out of alignment with it's intended role.
... I think I might try this again, using a different tactic |
