Why was Heavy portrayed as the face of the game?
I found the community loves Scout more than Heavy and most players don't like playing Heavy because you will be more likely to be shot at due to his large hitbox.
Even in SFM videos, Scout is mostly portrayed as the main good character. For Heavy, he is mostly depicted as a silly character.

Tracer was the face of the game for Overwatch, but indeed she was very popular. (She's even the most searched in Overwatch 18+)
Tracer was a good character, but that might not be matter. TF2 Mercs.. people still love them even they were not good people.

Because he's big. He's imposing. He's got a large gun. Putting Scout or Spy up front would look wimpy.

Too bad they couldn't get your mom on the roster.

He's a sponge, a wall, a way to help a push like demo and soldier.

He's been a bit of a pain to play and fight against, but he's decent Imo.
Cuz it costs 400,000$ to fire his gun every few seconds.

Gaben loves money.

He was at his time unique, and he has a likeable personality. In addition, he is distinctive.

Basically.


And Tracer is also popular because... uh... well... Arses.

He's the best summary of what TF2 is:
- his weapon is big and spammy
- his body dimensions are the most cartoony of the nine mercs (huge arms, tiny legs)
- his personality is loud and booming

A time just before this game was plagued with old memes

Because parents wouldn't buy a game for their children if the cover of the game is an assassin that murdered her own husband.

Also, Mercy is better.

While the scout is the best, the heavy was definitely the best person to display.

He pretty much sets expectations due to what previous posts have said, and then he basically destroys some of them, as he is the deconstruction of big brothers. This skillfully enchances the introduction of TF2 for new players and prepares them for further aspects of the game.
Look up the Orange box, they used his face for the cover of it back when Team Fortress 2 was originally released.
