You can't say that the Heavy is a counter to himself. Besides, what kind of logic is this? "If somethings broken/imbalanced, just use the broken/imbalanced thing and quit complaining." I follow SSF4 and MvC3. I know where these ideas lead.
Actually, my point here was "bad heavy teammates stand there and watch medic buddy die."
Hit or miss. Heavies are usually never alone, and all it takes is one person with a microphone to make you useless under normal circumstances. This is disregarding the fact that the backstab detection is as buggy as ever.
you kill the guy in the back, not the one in the front.
it's not hard.
Fists of Steel completely prevent a one shot kill, which takes away the Sniper's only advantage against the Heavy: high damage at a longer range than he can reasonably injure you.
If he's using fists of steel, he's not actively killing anyone. Take two shots, or aim for someone else.
