Heavies don't wanna be reminded that they are easy mode. They like to think it's the most under powered suit in the game to make themselves feel better when they are getting owned. It's bad if you're a heavy and your still getting killed all day. It's supposed to be the "UP suit the weak suit" Than why da **** is there 4-6 Heavies in EVERY single game? Is it all you players like challenges and continue to use the weakest suit in the game? Why is it when you run up on somebody and he's camping a supply depot he will run and switch to the weakest suit in game (Heavy) Let's be real here Heavy is the easiest suit to use when used right. Not my fault you fatty bums don't wanna hear that.
Yes, at the beginning of Open Beta STD level heavies
were somewhat of an "EZ" mode, just hold down R1 and watch as everything around you dies, although that probably had more to do with nobody knowing how to fight them. It was very beginner friendly.
At ADV level things are more fairly balanced, but some heavies got a bit too complacent. The advantages they had no longer seemed all that great, and that separated the good heavies from the "scrubs", the good ones found a way to adapt, while the bad ones just QQed.
However, at the prototype level, the heavy suit just sucks. It costs way too much and all they gain is 1 highslot. So they can either add 1 more damage mod or 1 more shield extender. If they go with the shield extender, that's 66 more health, or about 2 AR bullets, however their poor mobility and bigger hit box means that those bullets are pretty much guaranteed to hit anyway. On a an assault suit the ability to take 2 extra shots makes a big difference, on a heavy it's worthless.
So yeah, heavies do start off a bit too good, but their poor progression makes them under powered at prototype levels. There are of course people who manage to do well despite that disadvantage, but that doesn't mean the proto suit doesn't need to be looked at.
And about being "easiest to use", well yeah, the suit is basically designed to camp, what else is it supposed to do?
Edit: Anyway... I thought this thread was about heavies not getting new suits next update, not about them being UP?
TL:DR

Proto heavy is worthless.
