"Heavy" isn't worth the costs

A buffed heavy is a good wall for defense and it can deal with unbuffed soldier in a single chew. Compared to snipers, though snipers can also do 3 damages, but with slow move and low HP, snipers need other units to protect them since the opponent (almost) surely try to target snipers before something else it can be easily killed compared to heavies.

Snipers > heavies

Cost one less wit
They attack at cost of 1 a lot of times, this is a huge advantage especially with the +1 on kill, meaning if you kill something you did not lose any wits.
Although they move slower their range is farther.
Even though u have to defend snipers, in large attacks you won't be sending a unit on its own so in these situations those "defenders" should have already been there.

I'm sure some other people can think of more reasons why snipers > heavies.

This being said I would only rather have a predeployed sniper over a predeployed heavy if I'm adorables.
