Of course we're talking about pubs, get that highlander/6v6 s*** out of here
Haha.
The point is that in pub servers, people simply don't know how to fight heavy, which is why he's so easy to play. When people understand how to fight the heavy, he suddenly becomes maddeningly difficult to play, because everyone knows you're the most dangerous person to be in the same room as, so the entire team will absolutely refuse to fight you on your own terms, because everyone else is capable of outrunning you and staying out of your range until they have an advantage. But nobody does this on pub servers, so heavy is easy.
It's not an inherent game imbalance with the heavy, people are just bad at the game. Simple as that.
