Yeah, I understand that the characters are cast into roles, but the Heavy has been painted into a very small corner. The sandvich has obviously been in the works since the beginning, but the other unlockables? It's like they were picked out of a hat at random.
The KGB gloves are just dumb. I know the Heavy does a lot fo damage with melee strikes, but how often do you ever kill anybody with punches? And on the off chance that the person your attacking doesn't run away (because all other classes can move faster than the Heavy) and you do manage to kill them, and there's someone else in the immediate area to use that crit time on, you switch to something more useful like the minigun and you've got to spend a few of those precious seconds of crit time priming the gun. You could use the shotgun (if you aren't using the sandvich) but that has a worse range than the minigun.
