» Wed Sep 01, 2010 7:57 pm I have a suggestion.
Now, I'm not necessarily in favour of the whole argument, because even though I only played a short time as a Heavy online (so far), I feel they're actually well-balanced and effective when used well. But while everyone seems so dead-set on demanding more for Heavies, I may as well come up with my own idea for a buff that wouldn't overbalance things to much.
No accuracy buff. No damage buff (seriously, since when does "But I'm bigger than you" lead to "so it will hurt more when I shoot you with the same gun as the skinny guy" ??). No decreased spread. That would mess with weapon balance. Never a good idea. Also, no boost to base health.
My idea? Heavies get +5 health on each pip - If a buff would normally give them +20 health, they get +25.
WHat do you think? I don't think it's a big enough change to severely distort the current balance of the game, and it won't be any benefit to an unbuffed Heavy, but when fully buffed, the Heavy will gain +25 health on top of their base health advantage.
