Pyro .vs. Heavy [Who needs more weapons]
I went to the TF2 wiki and counted each weapon for each class this is the numbers I got.
35 - Heavy
34 - Pyro

Its pretty even, but in my opinion. Pyro had has his own update, Pyromania update, and various other weapons. I believe its time for Heavy to shine in the spotlight.

Heavy needs weapons and balance, pyro needs a lot of balance,but I chose heavy cuz he didn't get an update since 2009, and that update wasn't large

Pyro had 2 updates actually

Yeah, I remember when Pyro was introduced & the Pyromania update. Its honestly, time for change. If Heavy doesn't win were going have to force Valve. :steamfacepalm:

Stop being a drama queen. You won't force Valve to do anything.
Both classes are getting an update; the winner simply gets it first. It's astounding how many people don't actually read the update logs they're complaining about.
Hoovo need wepunz because he's got zero fun value and 70% of his primary's are trash.

i'm backing heavy even though we all know he won't win, pyro is an easier class to play and is being backed by all the f2ps and pyro mains while heavy is a slow and difficult class to master

Heavy deserves the update, pyro has a vicious cycle, if pyro wins we will probably get Phlog 3.0 just for people to keep sending complaints to valve, and it goes on and on, meanwhile Heavy only has like 6 miniguns and the rest is lightweight shotguns, food and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ melees.

Not to mention Heavy is a defensive tank class with great short DPS, Pyro is merely a deathmatch class and everything it used to do, any other class can do it now (Jarate can uncover spies and extinguish allies, Shortstop and Force-A-Nature can push enemies, etc.)

Pyro is easier than the class with 125 more health, a more damaging and longer range weapon, the ability to self-regen health technically infinitely, and is more of a W+M1 than the Pyro itself? Damn, I must be imagining the Flamethrowers bugs, poor damage, and Pyro's inability to be effective in his supposed niche.

I vote heavy, even though I enjoy pyro more, because he needs a revamp, or a new style of gameplay like how the spy got his dead ringer and sniper got his bow. something new.

I voted pyro because while heavy is at least somewhat viable in competitive, pyro is just simply useless, and don't give me the "he's good in casual though!". Anything can be good in pubs/casual. I've top scored as battle med in pubs. Doesn't mean it's good.

That's not even including the sheer bugs involved with the flame particles and airblast.

Pyro needs this more than heavy.

Actually, Valve is not going to both. Just when you before you vote, its not going to be both its one class or another.
P.S. I highly doubt that Valve would even listen to a small group of people. It takes a large community of lash agaisnt it to change.

Or maybe because the class is broken as hell and people want it fixed.

To anser the OP, Heavy needs new weapons more, but Pyro needs a class overhaul.The reason why Pyro is winning is because balancing a class is a bigger priority than giving it new weapons.
