"Heavy" isn't worth the costs

I wonder if getting rid of the pre-deployed medics would make heavies more useful. In 2v2 people seem less likely to spawn a medic for themselves. My thinking is this might be true in 1v1 as well, but on most boards you already start off with a medic.

Interesting idea but I think it's essentially a wash in terms of increasing heavy value. It basically shifts the heavy from a tank to DPS. Without the healer, the heavy is an easy kill.
