-The Heavy is considered an [[offclass]] in the [[6v6]] [[metagame]] because the weapons he needs to be viable full time are banned. The Heavy is used most of the time as a last resort when defending a point, be it last or 2nd. What the Heavy lacks in speed he makes up for in terms of firepower and damage with his powerful hitscan primary, the Minigun. The Heavy is the class with the highest base health at 300 and also the highest buff health at 450. As a result, when a team pushes into a point, they have to focus their main attention on the Heavy who, if not properly taken care of, will deal large amounts of damage to the opposing team. When the opposing team focuses their attention on the Heavy, it allows for the Combo and the Demoman to retreat. As such, running the Heavy is considered a distraction play.

-The Heavy is considered an [[offclass]] in the [[6v6]] [[metagame]].  While the Heavy's poor mobility makes it weak in transition plays, the Heavy's 450 full buff allows him to tank large amounts of damage when pushing or holding last and draw enemy fire while dealing large amounts of damage with his powerful hitscan primary.  However, because the Heavy requires so many heals to be successful, running a Heavy can starve your team of buffs.

 *Pick off the flankers.  Heavy absorbs a lot of heals, so your team's flank will have an advantage and you can use those heals to outnumber their team.

 *When pushing with Kritz, especially on points like Granary last with large sightlines, the Heavy can be useful to flash, or take the full Kritz if the Demo goes down, because of the unrivaled hitscan power of the Minigun, although his mobility limits him on smaller points.

 *Try not to get healed when at low health.  It takes too long to heal a lit Heavy to full.  Get health packs instead, the Heavy's large HP means it's the most efficient class to take health packs.

 *If you suspect that there's something to shoot around the corner, jump and rev in midair, this allows you to be more prepared for the enemy without losing speed.
 *To dodge headshots while revved, rapidly crouch and uncrouch.  While unrevved, you can also jump around and wave your crosshairs around to move your head's position, but the best way is to take cover behind a prop.
