Improvement or downgrade?

I was thinking for the new heavy update when it comes out should there be a mini gun that increases your speed but Does less damage? Sure the heavy is meant to do large damage but the fact is that its too easy to headshot or sticky a heavy because it is just too slow.

You can also post Heavy uodate ideas here if you wish

Or just have a weapon that can shoot a longer range, like the flare gun of the pyro

the variable is the wind up time for the heavy,  have a gun that instantly starts shooting but still has a 2 second cooldown and lastly he cannot move while shooting it.

i think chro u have a good idea but heard valve is wanting a more independent heavy. I think the heavy should regain health faster then medic but slower then medi gun.the down side is he cant have over 300 hp even when medic is healing him. this makes the heavy still have sasha, and upgrade but also not making him to powerfull. i also had an idea for his melee. this is that it never gets crits from the normal way but if the opponent has his melee out you get 100% crits. im still working on  a secondary weapon but i was leaning towards some sort of explosives like nades but..... valve didint put them in first place.

i honestly am hoping for a weapon that does more damage when you are standing completely still and laying down fire on the enemy but you get no crits and less damage when a medic is on you. to me that seems like a good solution that will help the heavy be a little more medic independent

A person on another server I frequent had a great idea. You know the baby backpacks that you put babies in? He suggested that the heavy get one and the medic can jump in.

This!

xD at rus!

First of all, I personally dislike the suggestions that are not a different weapon because valve won't do it. A weapon that changes speed would be alot better and more likely. Btw not aimed at you rus or anyone specifically, but what engy wrote is what I said.
My ideas for new weapons are:

-Some sort of Cannon-
I know the name isnt great but thats because it isnt its real name obviously. Simpley should be a long range powerful weapon takes away his minigun. This makes the heavy less of a medic buddy but gives the heavy a powerful weapon to use at long range targets to keep himself alive. Every shot should have a reload, like the sniper, but it should be slower. Should cause 200-250 per hit and have a small blast radius. Should not have a rocket jumping like ability.

-Triple Barrelled Shotgun-
I think a triple barrelled shotgun which should be the same as the normal shotgun x3 with 3 times less ammo obviously, less accurate and slower reload.

-Sledgehammer or Warhammer-
A massive weapon that should cause 500+ damage or enough to one hit any buffed player. Attack speed should be very slow and once swung you cant move for a long time. Secondary fire could be a faster swing which does light damage but sends a target flying and maybe stunning them which make smacking them into a wall and then crushing them with the primary a good combo.

I support the idea of a stronger shotgun, heavy needs more damage for spy defense when if he can't use minigun. (Chasing after spy, too far away to fist.)

I don't like making suggestions on threads like these, I'm not sure if valve reads these or not, or if they even take suggestions, it all seems worthless to me, heavy update is soon anyway isn't it?
