As the matter of fact, A HMG heavy is an undisputed best n00bgrinder in this game.
High HP, High DPS and Large magazine.
We can keep shooting at them the longest.
We can stay alive shooting at them the longest.
Thus, we can kill them very fast and effective.
N00b will whine about HMG Heavy. We can't deny that.
Does this make a HMG heavy OP ? Hardly.
We may come with DPS and HP advantage.
But we also come with range and speed disadvantage.
If you think these disadvantage are meager and of no use to you.
It just show your inability to exploit them, aka n00bness.
That is why we are so good at kiling n00bs.
They do nothing else but stand still and shoot at our feet.
A vet will shrug at us and just stay out of our effective range or dance around a crate until his shield is full again.
In fact, what seperate a good heavy from a bad heavy is not their HP nor their DPS.
It is an ability to close in, engage and dance around covers with tutle moving and turning speed, aka brain.
This is not a point&click RPG where you just trade blow after blow until one drop dead.
This is a FPS game. If you think EHP and DPS is an end all be all, you are in the wrong game. |

No a disadvantage is still a disadvantage just not a game-breaking one that make heavies useless.
And smart player know how to compensate those things.
But that doesn't make a tool he use OP. He's just good.
If you have no problem with range disadvantage as a SMG Logi.
Does that meant SMG have no range disadvantage whatsoever and sniper range have no advantage over you ?
Does that mean SMG range is also OP ??
Or does it simply mean you are a good player who know how to choose your range of engagement ???
Regarding speed disadvantage, I didn't mean it as speed to move around the map.
More like mobility during an encounter. A capable player can dance around a rock without a heavy able to shoot him ONCE.
Try it. I know you can also do it. It's simply physically impossible for us with walking/running speed we got. |
