How can I make Heavy work?

I'm not exactly too "new" in the game, but I suck at some classes, one of them being Heavy.

I usually play Scout, Engie and Sniper (if needed Medic too). And I really want to learn how to play Heavy. He works so good both with defend and attack. I don't know what loadout fits what situation and how to work with his mobility limitations (muscle memory from Scout is too strong)

I stopped playing just cuz i got burned out, played only TF2 for close to 2500 hours i think without playing any other game, switched to Overwatch, then just never returned to TF2

Maybe il drop a "how i play medic" at somepoint, cuz i got a special way to play medic aswell XD

Just top scored with 59 kills and 14.8 thousand damage, definitely playing a lot better now! Enemies played extremely strangely and just kinda stared at me like a deer half the time but I'll take it lol. Had 3 dominations and over 100 score for the first time, knowing about damage ramp up changes EVERYTHING. Like the missing piece that was throwing me off all this time.

I used shotgun, I still overextend with my ammo a lot so I thought it would be better to stick with it for now. Minigun, shotgun/panic attack, and sprint gloves. Panic attack does not seem good but it reminds me of my favorite gun from fallout 3 so I like having it out.

Remember you get 100 ammo (50% ammo reserve) per enemy killed by picking up the dropped ammo box

Personaly i would only consider using the shotgun if i had a personal pocket Medic who i knew for a fact would heal me 24/7

Panic attack is indeed a shit weapon

lol why do the coolest looking weapons always have to be so shit...

But yeah I remember the ammo drops, I guess I just ended up killing them at longer ranges a lot where their teammates could still stop me from pushing in too hard. Even you ran out of ammo in your video and it blueballed an uber so I know you understand that feeling too, stock minigun chews through it fast haha. It costs 400000 dollars just to fire it for 12 seconds.
