Heavy in Skirmish is a stupid joke
Step 1. Equip Heavy Machine Gun.
Step 2. Pick up Heavy.
Step 3. Get your free 10 kill spree.
Step 4. Low on heavy ammo? No problem. Heavy is spawning again. Get your free refill. Repeat.
Pretty much every single Skirmish game I've played today has been determined by who held on to heavy for longer.
Just to be clear. I only have an issue with heavy in Skirmish, Salvage, Doubles and Rumble. I think it's fine in all 6v6 and yes, even Trials/Elimination.
Edit: So this thread blew up. There seems to be general consensus with what I've written here, which is a relief. Common sense seems to be alive and kicking. For the others, thankfully in the minority, with their "boo hoo you gut rekt by hevy, lul, git gudder scrub", you guys really need to not jump to conclusions. Yes, I definitely do get wrecked sometimes by heavy, but it's very often me, or my teammates, who is doing the wrecking. And I'm aware enough to recognize the problem. I should not be given a free killstreak just because I picked up some ammo.

Sniper headshot, or supers is the only way to kill off heavy in 3v3. I save my super just for heavy spawn. Also dont let the other team get heavy. If your team is camping around the warm purple heavy glow go see what the other team is doin. Either golden gun, electrify, or darken up their day.

4 RepliesThis is what I replied to Cosmo about 2 weeks ago in different forum section in a sniper related topic..... I don't know if it's possible , but here's an idea....... 1 - Make it so special and heavy ammo crates spawn in different locations for every ammo crate spawn time in a match. Camping snipers camp near special ammo crates. In every match I play and get taken out by a sniper, he then proceeds to run 3 meters away to pick up the special (it happens way to often). 2 - We can see where the ammo crates spawn at the start of every match (they always spawn at the same locations). The same would happen even with random ammo crate spawns. To counter this you remove the ammo crate hologram + timer countdown. Oh but wait...... We have weapons that regenerate ammo. Penalize players who use these by having 0 ammo on initial spawn, 1 minute to get first round and 30 seconds for every additional round. You die before that first minute is up, timer resets to 0. Add to this that guardians who use ammo regeneration weapons ARE NOT ABLE to pick up special. They should be locked out.

Truth has ruined skirmish.

Heavy in 3v3 is a bad idea; agreed. I have tons of Heavy machine gun kills in my stats & all of them were easy kills.
-
I completely agree. Whoever gets heavy gets a huge advantage.
-
A lot of people mostly use rockets than machine guns which rockets wins out machine gun
-
A person on a 10 kill spree with heavy means the other opponents just aren't good enough, no more no less. You have to control the heavy
-
It's fair of everyone's it...
-
How do noobs die so often against heavy weapons? I will never understand it :(
-
Man it's there for noobs to try to make a comeback when they're getting rekt.
-
True about 10 kill streak since I've done it with heavy...more in 3v3 I think like the post says
-
Oh okay so anybody that doesn't agree with you and your post don't have common sense?
-
I think it's a smart joke...

Edited by Pondwater: 3/18/2016 3:01:11 PMWhen I play skirms with my buds we do pull heavy, and try for both of them. Then we only use heavy to get rid of theirs if we can after that ya I may still have 60 rounds for my MG. But I put it away cause heavy in those modes is cheap. Vid proof. And I never used it in this match https://youtu.be/gswSoVotEK0

It's in the game for a reason. You can also counter Heavy if you're good enough.
-
They should just have it spawn once if anything that way a team of heavy users can't snowball the game too much.

3 Repliesagreed heavy in 3v3 is a terrible idea

1 ReplyIt is often a big factor in who wins, unless the heavy users are shut down quickly.

1 ReplySo many cry babies in this thread trying to change the game to fit their needs and play style. Special and heavy weapons, supers, abilities and Y1 weapons are all part of the game. How about you all just shut up and play the game or, go play something else more your speed.

50 RepliesThe problem is machine guns. Have a rocket equiped to counter it. Have in mind, that the only gamers that play 3v3 in destiny are the tryhards, because many people left the game. Yesterday the other team waved on the heavy, I did wave too, took the heavy, killed them and I waved back again. Don't try to put your own rules in a videogame. The sweties and the tryhards have ruined the 3v3s.

2 RepliesI've recently replied to a similar thread, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's the AMOUNT of heavy that needs fixing. 4 truth rockets is a bit excessive. But rockets aren't nearly as bad as MGs. In no way, shape, or form should u get 60ish MG bullets from one heavy. Especially considering it takes 3-4 to kill a full health guardian (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). Perhaps we'd all have fewer issues with heavy if the most u could pick up in pvp is something like 2 rockets, or 10-12 MG rounds.
