Sting Ray isn't a bad special exactly, but it could use one more small tweak to put it in a really good place. Either something to make setting the initial aim up easier, or a suggestion from the Discord last night would be moving its use to R instead of ZR, so that your main weapon could still be used like with bomb launcher. As it stands, someone pulling out a stingray is basically an invitation to rush them down since it doesn't have the damage or maneuverability to really defend itself like inkjet or bomb launcher can. You really have to fall back to an area of total safety for white a while for it to see much use. It also doesn't help necessarily that it's much more useful in ranked than in turf war, which means people don't have as much opportunity to practice it in its most useful situations.
I already liked the Heavy even pre-patch, but the extra mobility is felt and I think it feels pretty good. The biggest knock on it right now is probably some of the stage design, where lots of slopes and stuff make it tough for you to focus people down much.
