I was think over this for a day or so, and the fact that you are waving it off makes so sense. Here's why.
1. (most important) If you can use heavy weapons good enough to counter something like Truth, SSimulant, or Qullim's Terminus, why be in a compatible match?
2. Heavy is like a super, it is used only every now and then and is meant to give a few easy kills. Then if you are very good, you can make sure you don't get killed by heavy. Don't get me wrong, I know I have casual-like stats, but I am reasoning with logic here.

[quote]is meant to give a few easy kills.[/quote] That's the point. People actually want this game to be competitive instead of a boring noob-friendly shooter. I'm sorry if you prefer the noob-friendly way.

Your second reason is flawed for the fact that one team will have heavy and the other won't depending on who kills who when it drops. Then you're left with one team having a massive advantage over the other, especially if they have machine guns. Its the biggest crutch and requires absolutely no skill to abuse. Heavy should only be a thing in 6v6

You're not a competitive player so you simply wont understand. Stop trying to make sense of it cus it wont make sense to you. When you run sweats, you have rules to even the playing field so the winner is determined by the better player not who has what gear or weapon. Same thing applies to heavy. A heavy round could go either way and literally has absolutely nothing to do with skill. Heavies are just cheap kills, in a competitive mode we want to work for each kill where the better shooter wins, heavies throw all that out the window. With a rocket you just have to look in that persons direction and fire and forget it... wtf is that?

Edited by Ebelski: 1/24/2016 5:14:48 PMA guy tried to wave off last night. Ruin wake to the melon. Waving off is for people that can't get it through their this is not a competitive game. They also think they will win every engagement and only lose because of lag or they are using an op weapon. Edited people, it was powwow. Arturo correct is awesome.

Its boring. A tracking rocket and 2-3 bullet kill lmg require little skill/strategy to play with.
-
you ever been in a game where teams get both heavies? that's why.

If heavies are like supers then MG's are prenerf sunbreakers [spoiler]#Sarcasm[/spoiler]
