I don't use them (though I would use the bear paws or the steel gloves)...I just crouch down in a good spot (like say, right next to the point) with a dispenser next to me, and hold down the fire button. It helps keep the heads down if nothing else. Of course, it HELPS if the team I'm on is competent...no medics, I swear! And engineers who build the exit teleporter out wide in the open!

I thought a good spy or sniper counters a heavy? Or maybe even a demo with well placed stickies? Lvl three sentry? IMO, heavies are pretty darn useless without a medic.....
If you are smart using a Soldier, you can pretty much defeat a heavy, but yeah, many people should've been trying to outsmart yuyuko's bullets since she ran out of it.
There's an error here; you only find "dropped" items when you die, not when you kill someone. It's also possible when the round ends, but then again, I could be wrong.

Snipers are pretty damn effective.With two you can pretty much take an overhealed heavy and his medic out within seconds of each other.

So long as the Medic isn't overhealed, you can do the same with a single skilled Sniper. All you have to do is get a fully charged headshot on the Heavy and then a normal headshot on the Medic. But you have to be quick AND accurate, which is why it takes a fairly skilled Sniper.
Since recent update, this has not become a problem anymore..
true, but now it MARKS YOU FOR DEATH, meaning you take minicrits, so its still a bad idea for a heavy to use the GRU at low health, unless he knows he can run away to a safe place in time with the speed boost.
Use them in the next round then.Charge! Capture the Flag!Gloves of Running UrgentlyYou found the Gloves of Running Urgently!Oh, Eirin-san! These look super strong.Ah!Crap! No health and no ammo!Cough!Gloves of Running Urgently
