This Direct Hit is just a skullfuck to heavies =(

Why? It only increases damage by 25%. Heavies have plenty of health and usually a medic with them.

 

It also shoots a hell of a lot faster.  So upon being hit by that first rocket he has less time to react before being blown to pieces.  Heavies don't perform well against any decent soldier as it is, this just looks to even worsen that. 

No, the firing rate should be the same. Each rocket gets there faster, but the interval between them is the same.

You have less time to dodge the first rocket, after getting hit once you have the same amount of time to escape the second. Furthermore, it's easier to escape a rocket, as the blast radius is greatly reduced.
