Well no, i agree about the spies and snipers as i said, but people stopped playing heavies a while back because they were SOOO underpowered they were just too slow and useless, now they have had a boost and people play it again.
You say they are overpowered, but you made the point of saying how they are so easy to stab. That's called balancing bart, heavies might be able to hoover up kills instantly but the flip side is, one small knife blade can take down the big boy, same as one bullet to the face
It's about balancing and you gotta appreciate how difficult it is to balance a massive mp game like this in general, let alone constantly having to tweak things with each update. Sure valve might tone down the Natasha damage if enough kids moan on the steam forums long enough but i doubt they will touch it as its not sooooo overpowered it makes the game unplayable currently;
as you said, easy to stab.
Now, if they introduce a razorback for the heavy, by all means, moan ur frikin arse off.
This is the thing. One backstab (facestab more like), one sniper shot, 3 blasts from a scout and a Heavy is dead. That doesn't even cover the damage a pyro can do with airblast or that (irritating as all fuck) new burn em and hack em attack of theirs or the damage that a properly manned L3 sentry can do.
People who think heavy is OP just do not know how to play this game. Period. It is the second weakest class currently available and the second most abandoned class in terms of updates. If you get mown down by a heavy then chances are you did something wrong - if people would stop standing around with their dicks in their hands they'd do a lot better.
As to the spy's new knife - that's just annoying. Not 'cos it is OP (which it is a little) but 'cos it exists at all. Spy as a clas has more choices than any other. They received one of the biggest updates and their choice of weaponry is greater then just about any other class. Why Valve in their (utterly non-fucking-existent) wisdom decided they needed yet ANOTHER option is beyond me. Oh wait - no its not. Valve are as in love with the spy as every other talentless git out there.

The only time I'll stick close to a Heavy is when using a Krits as Heavy can be more use a lot of the time (for clearing large areas - compact spaces are better cleared with Demo, obv)
But every stat data proves, that its by far the most powerfull class in every aspect and in the valve politics of keeping this game balanced between classes heavy got lost somehow :/
