I disagree

Something is wrong when a scout can 1 v 1 a heavy at full hp. I believe they should make the prototype heavy suit resistant to damage AND they should make it have 1000 base armor. That way they can legitly be a heavy, a walking tank to the infantry.

Scouts are the counter to heavy's. Making a heavy invulnerable to scouts defeats that point.

It's wrong when it doesn't have to do with skill. If the scout was more skilled than the heavy he should win, but if the heavy is more skilled(i.e. better critical thinking skills and reaction speed) then he should win. If the scout won not due to skill but due to the suit itself then that is the problem.

Heavy suits need support from light and medium suit allies where was your support when you got solo'd by this scout guy?

amirite?

The only counter to a heavy should be teamwork or a bigger weapon.

Based on that answer just get rid of all the other classes and everyone should play as a heavy. Why play as any other class if it takes several of you to kill a heavy when you could just play as a heavy?

e.g. If it takes a team of 2 to kill a heavy then just field 16 heavy's as nothing less than 16 heavy's could counter it.

Because the heavy is so slow that they wouldn't even be able to reach each other by the time the match ended.

uh huh. so in your brilliant design, what do you do when the heavies also start using teamwork?

Make it so heavies can't hack maybe? They start being murdered by LAV? Someone calls in an orbital? CCP can figure it out. Heavies do need some sort of buff whether it be resistance or HP.

No, if the heavy invested 3mil+ SP into his suit and has such slow turning speed he needs a clear advantage over the suits that can get 1000 EHP

"Maybe"? Sounds like you haven't really thought it out, other than "make the class i'm using right now awesome".

Under the right circumstances heavy's are feared but I agree there are problems with both the heavy and the scout. I think there was a major thread on these issues a little while ago. You may be able to find it with the search function.

There is no direct counter in play here. In certain situations the Scout will own the heavy, and in others, the heavy will mow down the scout.

In Eve, get a frigate close enough to a cruiser and watch the cruiser die a slow death. If they start off pretty far apart and the cruiser is using rails, he'll probably blap Mr. Friggy in a short amount of time. It's all situational.

There's no "This class beats this one", there's "If this class is here and this one is here, and they both do their own thing, this is what might happen". From what I'm reading, people are trying to dumb it down to Runescape level.

NO!

If you really want that, then you should sacrifice 50% of your current walk/running and turning speed and no ability to use non-heavy weapons. That would be fair.


Hey CCP. Make EVERYONE Super strong against all weapons, so we don't die every 10th of a second from pro weapons or make all weapons do 10 percent of their current dmg, so we all don't rain our teardrops from the heavens on the forums.
