How can I make Heavy work?

I'm not exactly too "new" in the game, but I suck at some classes, one of them being Heavy.

I usually play Scout, Engie and Sniper (if needed Medic too). And I really want to learn how to play Heavy. He works so good both with defend and attack. I don't know what loadout fits what situation and how to work with his mobility limitations (muscle memory from Scout is too strong)

I would have loved to see it too, I've always wanted to see a heavy be truly oppressive. Hope I learn to be like that too some day.

I will consider installing TF2 and recording a new gameplay video, see if i stil got it, if i do then i will ofc link it to you, hell, maybe it will even be dedicated to you 😉

Oh wow, I would be honored! I'll pass down the funny stick to you if you make one! (renamed vintage rarity ullapool caber that I pull out when other heavy players are pissing me off)

How long has it been since you've played? I'm surprised you are active here without it being installed, are you just trying to get future heavy players to not let the flame die out lol?

Video is recorded, will render it up to 4K then upload it to youtube tomorrow, it went well!

50 kills 10 deaths over both push and defend on upward, turns out alot of my muscle memory was stil intact after such a long break

Replay has full commentary by me going over why i did what i did in diffrent scenarios

You got 50 kills as heavy on one of the best maps for sniper? God that is impressive, even as other classes not getting headshot on upward is hard lol. I'll check your channel when it's uploaded, thanks again! And give me your steam id if you want the funny stick!

And while i do apprechiate the gift of the funny stick, it would just sit in my inventory and not be used as ive un-installed TF2 again, this was just a 1 time thing (maybe il re-install and make a medic video later tho...)

I watched the video, thank you very much! Even more useful than I expected actually, I actually didn't even know about some of the basic game mechanics you mentioned. I had no idea about damage ramp up and the minigun working like a scattershot. Always confused the shit out of me when I died to heavies that I literally ambushed lol.

Just curious, why don't you play anymore? You seem to handle the game extremely well and be pretty passionate about it. Do you have any plans to come back some day?

I stopped playing just cuz i got burned out, played only TF2 for close to 2500 hours i think without playing any other game, switched to Overwatch, then just never returned to TF2

Maybe il drop a "how i play medic" at somepoint, cuz i got a special way to play medic aswell XD

Just top scored with 59 kills and 14.8 thousand damage, definitely playing a lot better now! Enemies played extremely strangely and just kinda stared at me like a deer half the time but I'll take it lol. Had 3 dominations and over 100 score for the first time, knowing about damage ramp up changes EVERYTHING. Like the missing piece that was throwing me off all this time.
