Whyyyyyyy?!?! Why do people revive stupid threads, but not good ones?

I don't have a big problem with heavy+ hmg, it just seems the majority of ppl try to take them on close range and that''s why they end up with so many kills, all i do as assault is just keep my distance and gradually take them down.

My problem is in regards to heavies + lasers, i mean they already are tanks and yet they can range you, in a 1v1 fight it's almost impossible to get out of if your in a tight situation unless you can somehow manage to flank them and even so , it takes you longer to kill them because of their defences.

But in general i actually like taking down heavies because once you take them down it feels like a boss kill equivalent in this game lol, and also the fact you know their suits and hmg cost allot more than the rest of us, if they wanna keep comming back and dying that's fine with me.

No point in limiting the amount of heavies in a team. Because their popularity limits their numbers within a team. Say what you want about heavies being OP. if they were that OP then everyone would use them as your aluding to. Which they don't. So there for they can't be. Ipso facto


******EDIT:********
I see alot of people saying that hmg's a OP, that they have the same range as AR's, that they are too 'easy' to use. Before you have a massive moan, actually try something out:

just because on paper hey have the same range, doesn't mean that they do. they have a sweet spot where they are phenomenal, but to close and they cant track you, more than sort of 10m and theyre damage is massively reduced, for example. The ambush map with no buildings, standing where A would be on a skirmish and shooting at the inevitable swarms of blue berries on the opposite side, That is WAY past decent damage dealing range, vs an AR milita version, i WOULD loose if he shot back, i have close to 1000hp, my fits are coming up on 150k each, but vs a noob with an AR with no skill or skills i would die at 20m. I wouldnt really concider this to be over powered.

As for easy to use,have you ever tried to fire a weapon without ADS, have you ever tried o fire a weapon that has shocking accuracy for the first seond and then insane recoil after its accurate? the only thing thats easy about them is the fact that you get so many shots per clip. bu bearing in mind that half my shots are missing and each shot does alot less damage than your AR, i NEED them. then when i do run out, i have the reload of all reloads. sometimes the next match has started by the time im ready to shoot again.

Finally the heavy suit its self. Its massively over powered as it should be for all its draw backs. i have 3 times your health. but im 3 times your size, you cant help but hit me if you fire in my general direction. I have no utility slot. it takes 24 hours for my armor to regen on its own, so im rarely ready for the next fight unless iv got a team mate repping. i cant jump up kerbs, let alone over barriers, you'll often see me stuck with a light breeze. My suits are cripplingly expensive for anything more than basic and for little to no benefits. And for all this I waddle about the battlefield like a walrus on land, slower than a granny on a zimmer.

*rant over*
*almost*
Try something so you understand the draw backs of it before you complain about it, experienced players compensate for there setups disadvantages so that you dont see or understand them.

like shot gun scouts, 1 hit killing. OP? No because it takes alot of skill to outflank someone to get to that range, iv tried it so i understand.
Tanks OP? No becuase they cost so damn much and once AV infantry get theyre acts together and train some skills you can find yourself in a bad place quickly, i know iv tried it.
Dropships OP, no for the same reason as tanks. AGAIN IVE TRAINED THEM AND TRIED IT!
AR's OP? No balanced just like everything else, you can run into a fire fight and drop 4 people with one clip, but then a counter turns up and swats you. IV TRIED ASSAULT AR TOO!!!!!!!!!!

Iv skilled alot of different suits an weapons and iv changed tactics virtually every reset, because i always think someone else has the better life. Truth is the green grass in the other field always turns out to be a pissy yellow colour once you've jumped over that fence.

I could go on but im well past TL;DR now so ill shut up and hope that iv got at least some of my point across. So once more, if heavies or anything else were so much better than everything else you would see no diversity on the battefeild, but you dont, so its balanced

IPSO FACTO

There is obviously too much storm to say that there doesnt need to be changes made to the "heavy". We all want a balanced game do we not? The only two things that I can see that would bring some equality to the picture would be to drastically reduce the range of that gun and make the mobility in strafing almost nill. Then I can see more balance between the suits.

Heavies aren't OP. The people who say that they are probably approach them with no tactic. Heavies are slow, use that to your advantage. If people attack heavies with some type of plan, there would be no need for a "limit"
