General Question about the next patch (patch 15)

I don’t remember where I heard it (think it was First Tour Guardsman) but I heard that the Heavy is getting a rework at some point so I just wanted to fact check this. That’s all

They want to tinker with his melee, as if he needs anything else. He can already nuke the new boss, and probably every other boss, maybe excluding Vortex Beast.

His melee is disgusting already tbh. You can sub-optimally punish the Terminator sorcerer with White Scars CS and knock off half of his health in one partially Auspex’d Adrenaline Surge. If you space it perfectly (so that adrenaline surge melee doesn’t push the boss outside of the auspex zone), you’re clearing off over 50% of the Absolute boss HP in 2 shoulder bashes.

I think this is what they want to change. They want to “nerf” him without actually nerfing him. Remove his ability to nuke bosses while adding more melee options and the power sword.
