Play spy.
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.
Or sniper.
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.
Or medic pocketing one of your own heavies.
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.
Or pyro w/ axtinguisher.
If you're not already dead by the time he turns around, you will be before you take your second swipe. And again, this is assuming you're 1v1ing the Heavy. Those situations are rare/non-factors in a team game.
The difference between beginner heavies and expert heavies will become clear very, very fast.
I've already made my stance on this clear. Nobody cares about how good the Heavy is in highlander/6v6 professional matches, because most games aren't these things.
Whenever I feel like I can't be surprised with how poorly Bio knows this game, he makes a post like this that just floors me.
