How do you turn the HMG's nerfs into a buff then?
How does reduced damage and range somehow magically make the gun better than it was?
Not joking. I'm serious. If there's some secret that actually makes the HMG a viable weapon, I'd love to know so I can point it out to the Heavies I can currently destroy while trying to suicide against them in a Scout suit. |

I agree that the HMG needed a nerf, but what they did was WAY too far.
I don't play Heavy. I hunt them. I run Shotgun Scout, and killing Heavies has always been a fun, but challenging pastime when they know what they're doing.
They're now little more than targets with broken toys. The "Shotgun Range" comments aren't a significant exaggeration, and assuming they only have a single tier of advantage, my Shotgun kills a Heavy faster than their HMG kills my Scout suit when they're in position to open fire first and I decide to go for a suicide charge. |

Then they should have had support. If it was a bad spawn, well that is simply unfortunate.
So you're saying that a Heavy shouldn't be reasonably expected to use one of their signature weapons in a straight-up fight against a Scout WHO ISN'T BOTHERING TO TRY AND DODGE and should instead RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE TO KILL THE MOST FRAGILE SUIT IN THE GAME?
...
I'm pretty sure nobody's going to go for that. |
