There's nothing wrong with Heavies being as powerful as they are because there are already two classes that pretty much hard counter them. Not to mention that Heavies get raped around corners.
Of course, this is for pubs and I'm just of the opinion that TF2 really isn't meant to be played on the very competitive level.
