Devs forgot the two hand weapon buffs.

[Abomination]

Imagine releasing a game and having a category of weapon be completely useless to use because they are too slow, you can't dodge or block mid animation. and you don't have any kind of poise to ignore light hits. How did they forget to buff two hand weapons in the first patch? You can tell they either didn't listen to play testers or the play testers didn't try different builds.

0 issue with motivity builds,put faster handle on slow blade or do charged attacks only if enemy is coming at you to take advantage of your attack range.Slow weapons basically can stunlock any normal and elite mobs 100-0.

I...'ve been using heavy weapons just fine. Like, what are you doing? Trying to get multiple heavy attacks in each time? Its similar to a greatsword in Monster Hunter. If you gonna try to DPS with that kind of weapon, you gonna be hit... a LOT.

I main GS in Monster Hunter and have beaten every challenge the game has thrown at me. I know how greatswords work.

The issue is you only have enough time for one hit on every single enemy outside of trash mobs. You can get more hits in and do more damage faster with weaker weapons because the game was no designed to be played with a two handed heavy weapon. I currently use the baton handle and while it's not ideal, it allows me to quick attack and still be safe.
