Heavy needs a health buff

[supadog]

Yeah, for someone called the "Heavy", he isn't really that powerful. The guy only has 300 health, only 100 health above the soldier, and only takes slightly more effort to kill ONLY because of the extra health. I think that the Heavy should have at least 400-500 health to make him be a proper tank class instead of surviving about 4 rockets at medium to long range and then dying. Literally the only thing the Heavy has going for him is a medic (hopefully) or him engaging a target at close range. Not to mention he has ZERO mobility while firing, and is easily killed by a double jumping, meatshotting scout, a pyro circling him, a demo directing him with only 3 pills, and a sniper headshotting him twice.

Eat a dakalohs bar.

- Medic Overheal
- Dalokohs
- Sandvich
- Damage-softening tools such as Fists of Steel

Why should he have to use only 1 item that only really gives him 50 more health when he'll just die soon after.

It is much more helpful than you give it credit for.

-He should be able to survive by himself, like the other classes
-This is useful, but again ^
-It has a holster penalty, and he is nowhere near invincible with it.

a health buff would make him too good, if he could tank those four pipes from demo then demos wouldnt stand a chance, same with soldier,pyro and sentries heavy can already destroy sentries with ease in some circumstances, i know that heavy is an easy target making the health go down very quickly but its the best balance you can get

Oh I've used it, trust me. But the sandvich pretty much overshadows it.

If you're constantly getting spammed out as a Heavy...

You're a bad Heavy.

He is only an annoyance when it comes to fighting him now though, there are literally more medic mains than heavy mains.

Spam isn't the problem, being completely unable to avoid it or getting killed by it is.

Which you would bring when there are Medics more likely to overheal you, which makes you tankier as a Heavy.

You're really not thinking things through very well.

I think you're underestimating him. He hard counters Pyro and Scouts can really only get the upper hand on him if he has bad tracking.
