The solid counter to anything: being pro as fuck.

What about a pair of good snipers?

Because spamming rockets at the giant dude and praying he dies before you do = pro.

You mean there's more to playing Soldier than spamming rockets as suppression fire?

Rockets are like kobolds; throw enough of them at a problem, and they'll solve it.

actually its quite easy to take down a heavy as soly if you know how.
Its mostly just being a dick and Pot shooting him from a corner so that he cant hit you with his steam of bullets.

I remember back before the updates, when soldier had 32 rockets, if teams were small enough I could single handedly hold off a whole team with rocket spam. Gave you so many sometimes I'd just hold down the fire button and rely on luck that someone would turn the corner at the right time

I'd definitely put ace sniper as an honourable mention for heavy-counter, yep. Strictly from personal observation I don't get enough bullets between the eyes to call it a great counter, though. It depends on the map but I can more easily dodge a sniper by avoiding those long distance corridors and such. I can't dodge a spy because I don't know where a spy is! I think spy just out and out takes the show for bursting the heavy bubble. And most other bubbles too. Spy is slowly giving me traumatic stress, but the game wouldn't be the same without them.

I done put down many a rocket spammer in my day. The pro spams rockets with a certain...subtle elegance only other pros can recognize. Smugness over 9000 feat gives pro detection aura.
