2. No
3. I use heavies in 2v2, you guys just underestimate them! Having heavies also mean a solid front line, the usual two soldiers won't be able to pick off a boosted heavy.
4. Now you guys are forgetting one thing: another resource. Space to move is also a resource. Would you rather have 3 spaces worth of heavies, or 3 spaces worth of soldiers?
5. If you made a wit comparison, the heavy only needs 1 wit to deal 3 damage. You guys have also forgot how much stuff costs to move and attack. Runners attacking cost the same amount, but only do 1 damage.

Heavies are extremely wit inefficient in spawning and movement. Runners are not meant to do heavy damage. Heavies are extremely hard to position correctly and if your opponent has 3 boosted soldiers and a sniper while you have 3 heavies, I think the former wins, and it costed less to transport.

Where did the sniper come from? Each unit has their own strength. You can't compare it to other units.

Whilst all that is true, a heavy has:
Intimidation factor
Compact space
And since you can only use 1 spawn per turn, that heavy pretty much combines 2 soldiers in one spawn.
Heavies are not hard to position.

But let's think of the positive of a 4 attack heavy:
4 hp
4 attack = the Health of a boosted soldier
Also the hp of a shelled, boosted bombshell
Over powered? Yes.

Instead of mobi sniping, the new meta will be mobi heavy + runner. That is an assured 4 damage, plus a pretty easy 1 damage. If that fails, you have a 5 hp shield instead.
If heavies cost 4 and do 4, and have 4 hp, that would be enough to one shot another heavy! Only runners can do that!
Imagine a soldier one shotting another soldier. Op, right?

It will not be the new meta.
Mobi'ing the heavy will put the mobi in a terrible position.
Movement is incredibly wit inefficient, as I keep saying. Positional strategy can easily dodge heavies.
This whole thing is comparing heavies to other units.
A heavy is a pretty valuable unit, but it is most definitely not scary in bunches.
It is incredibly hard to mass a big attack with heavies, and the only reason to spawn heavies is for defense.

You say you "have used heavies in 2v2." I have been watching your OSN games. No heavy spawns in any of your games really. You defend heavies so much but never really use them, why?
