This is why the POWER classes are ideal ubercharges during pushes, and why your team will suffer if you don't have enough of these against a well prepared defense. In the case of the Heavy, he has so much health that he can shrug off decent-damage blows while continuously spitting out damage in return, and all three classes can continue to spit out continuous high amounts of damage to multiple people at once at the typical combat ranges of TF2, which is medium to short ranges, for even longer if they have a medic - Heavy gets classed as POWER for this reason. This means you can potentially hit multiple with a single shot, adding to an already high DPS, Power Classes can reliably dish out damage to a group of opponents more than just ONE person at a time. In the case of the Soldier and Demoman, the explosive weapons they carry can strike multiple people within an area of effect radius. Nutshell: Target is Close or Medium range = Lots of Damage. Not to mention that Pipes and Stickies aren't direct fire, they're indirect fire in that they arc over distance further adding to the difficulty of use at range. In the case of the Demoman, his pipes and stickies don't have damage falloff, but they're a projectile like the soldier's rockets - shots have to be lead at longer ranges which means they function easier at closer ranges.
The Soldier's Rocket Launcher, Demoman's Grenade Launcher and Sticky Launcher, and the Heavy's Minigun each have a ridiculous high DPS - in the case of the Heavy and Soldier, the closer they are to the poor bastard getting shot at, the more damage they do. Potential Damage Per Second (DPS) is incredibly high. 175 > 166, we all agree about that, right? With the lowest being the Demoman at 175 base health. This was calculated just using the stock loadout amounts of health - however, if you know anything about TF2, you'll notice that each of the 3 power classes has more than that average. I'll be getting into this further on, but for now, I will tell you, the average health by MEAN is 166.66 repeated in TF2. Average, or Greater than Average amounts of health. This comes down to a bunch of reasons, the basic ones are listed below. A very basic explanation of a Power class is "An ideal target for Ubercharges during a push." But you may be wondering why is it The Heavy, Demo and Soldier are "ideal" for pushes. The Soldier, The Demo, and The Heavy are thrown into POWER classification. Is that the diagram above accounts for overlap between each of the class types to some extent. The key to understanding TF2's actual class types, which I'm labeling Power - Pick - Provision is that unlike the class selection screen which will tell you: Scout, Soldier, Pyro are the best for attacking - Demoman, Heavy, Engineer are the best for defending, and Spy, Medic, Sniper are the best for supporting your team. ReachNetwork, April 2016 Obviously, that's not the case. "The Heavy is a Defensive Class" is about as accurate as this quote, "I'm good at TF2 because I own two unusuals". For those of you already versed in the Meta-Game of TF2, you've probably already noticed that the Heavy, a guy that is clearly labeled as Defensive is more often than not the guy getting Ubercharged to rush a sentry nest.
