Admit it. He's way too op

>>heavy can't be at mid because it's unbalanced
That's the only thing I'll never understand about comp. Like they hate mid heavies so much but can't you just focus him down if necessary?

soldier can completely fuck off from the engagement, not even a valid counter

>soldier can run away so actually he isn't countered

no soldier main ive encountered is dumb enough to shoot a rocket at a pyro UNLESS the pyro has a phlog

Okay they buffed Heavy, how did they do it?

IIRC the reason fast heavy is bad for comp is it's a ton of extra muscle for minimal downside, which forces the other team to also run fast heavy. It's not the lack of balance per se, it's that it effectively drops a flex spot on your team, kind of like how the old dangershield was broken because it forced your opponents to run it as well.

1 more hp just to fuck with demos

>which forces the other team to also run fast heavy
Or you could just use one of the many many many ways to easily kill a class that can barely move and has no range.

That makes sense, honestly. More than "oh no we can't deal with heavies at mid he's too strong :(" at least.

make heavy as op as possible

>rocket jumps are balanced
>introduce a secondary equip that reduces the damage you take by more than half
>soldier becomes to fucking mobile that it's impossible to catch

soldier is very strong on the whole but i wouldn't say he's actually op until someone runs one of those aids `live forever` loadouts.
a lot of the game's classes are very very strong but that doesnt make them unbalanced.

>less HP
>Doesn't have a get out of jail free card unless you equip a shield, compromising your damage output

All the top players rightfully call Sniper and Scout OP, shitters call Demo and Soldier OP, and absolute shitters call Pyro, Heavy or Engi OP.

>>less HP
It's a mere 25. You're still tanking a quickscope headshot which is arguably all you need.
>>Doesn't have a get out of jail free card unless you equip a shield, compromising your damage output
Stickyjumping makes you go way further than rockets, even if it costs more health you can still use it to get out of there when shit goes south.

i have 8k hours played, i'm a scout main.
i shit on soldiers. they are easy meat. they are not really that hard to kill, they are easily avoided, and are only a threat if you're not paying attention to their position and you let them either divebomb you or gain the higher ground.

Honestly the only buff he needs is stuff that makes his kit have more options and overall improves the pace of his gameplay. For the longest time heavy was boring as sin running stock and KGB and since swapping to Tomislav and GRU and just W keying in pubs it’s been so much more fun. Being a human sentry blows ass it’s much more fun having some speed and agility which is what any future buffs or items should be balanced around
