Care to respond Asher? I'm dying to hear what you have to say on this point.
Sure.

Telling all the heavies we should be stuck camping objectives, forever banned from pushing the frontlines of combat. So you can play exactly the way you want.
How is this even feasible for you to say? "Pushing the frontlines of combat"? You know you move slowly, if you want to be the first one to move on the enemy you are going to be the first one shot at getting all the attention of those fully loaded weapons. A heavy should not be "pushing" the front lines. Let the medium suits do that, then come in as the enemy is distracted. They'll already be weak, and needing to reload. Stop wanting to be Super Rambo.
Again for the 500th time
GRAB A FREE LAV IF YOU WANT TO MOVE AROUND. If you want to play your suit to it's strengths, you'll need to corner camp. If you want to move around, get a lav. Stop crying about not being a one man army.

If we all follow the idea that the predetermined "roles" should be played a specific way and nothing else then you as a scout shouldn't be anywhere near my HMGs optimal. Afterall you're only supposed to be scouting enemy positions in advance of your team/squad to give them a heads up. Instead you've chosen to try to be a Super speed Ninja, rushing into the fray attempting to shotgun/stab as many as you can before being noticed. If you chose that playstyle accept the risks that come with it
You clearly haven't looked at the featured fits, have you? There's one called CQC scout. It's meant to be up close. There's another one for hacking, which is specifically meant to cap objectives, and to top it all off the Minja has knifing bonuses to it's suit - clearly it was meant to be up close, so your argument makes no sense. You are thinking of "scout" in the terms of a verb. As a noun it can entail many more things. Like boy scouts for example don't just go around looking at things, they get involved and learn defensive/survival tactics. Same thing with the military - Navy SEALs, Air Force SEREs - they all learn (extensively) scouting techniques that involve combat. Also, Infantry recon in the US Army will teach you combat as well. I'm in the military which is why I know these these things.
Ever play MGS4? Remember the fight between Raiden and Vamp on top of Metal Gear Rex? "You're a scout too are you not?" And then they fight to the death because scouts, believe it or not, fight.
Also, I definitely do not play the way you for some reason think I do! If I see more than two people, I (try to) run away. If I'm knifing, I only ever engage enemies from behind unless I'm cornered. I never use the shotgun, but if I'm running my SMG, I typically only engage enemies from behind as well, and again, only if it's one or two. Lol rushing into the fray? Lol, I'd be better off smashing my head against a rock.

Finally, why should you be able to break from your suits intended role of scouting to become a CQC crack head ninja? But all Heavies should always conform to one role, one playstyle never supporting their squads push to take an objective?
You can push to take an objective, just stop crying about how slowly you walk or how the enemy wasn't stupid enough to nicely walk away from their objective, out into the open, and up to your HMG. Your suits strengths lie in defending an area - you can do whatever the hell you want. Just stop wanting to be a one man army at the front of everything killing everyone never taking any damage and being gods among men. Your crap is fine.
