Nope, this is just not a good reason for a nerf to this. The mere idea of a minigun having a lower magical cut off range than an assault rifle is in itself ridiculous. For proof consider that I've gotten the jump on an assault from med-close range, above him, and he still GEK'd my face off due to his skill for headshotting me. At the moment, the Assault suit is the most powerful setup in this game for WP accumulation, Heavies have to kill in order to get WP. There just isn't anything else for them to do but spray death.
Do yourself a favour and create an alt heavy, and see how "easy" it is to actually get paid as a heavy. |

I think that's just about right though. When running heavy you should be able to mow down, but in the end, you'll see that I can still get paid more, get more SP and get more WP as a smart Logi or Assault player than a dedicated heavy. It's the heavies job to stay alive and own face. Taking that away and you just can't make money with them. It's only "easy mode" when killing, but killing doesn't make you more powerful or successful to your team (see snipers who sit at the side shooting 23-0 without ever supporting their team, there are good ones, so no blanket here). I tend to think the HMG is about right where it is, but YES I agree that it's max range with perks shouldn't exceed the max range of an assault rifle. BUT they're so inaccurate that I think this balances it out. |

LOL, I am a terrible heavy, I admit it. But I recognize their job. I play support to keep those heavies rolling. |
