I actually like the Chompers and don't think they are bad at all. Not sure why people think the electric chomper is bad. I always thought it was one of the more powerful variants. It's great for taking out imps and scientists that get anywhere in range and is excellent at crowd control.
I've actually stopped burrow/eating zombies as much because you're just asking to die when you do. But the biggest change I've made is to use the very under-rated goop cannon. Once I got used to it, it's such a fun and useful weapon. They just need to get rid of the extra long delay that happens when shooting it.
There's nothing more satisfying than shooting the cannon across the map and killing a pirate that's sniping! It doesn't happen very often, but it's a great feeling when it does. It will also one-shot imps (if you can hit them) and severely damage most other zombies, softening them for an easy kill.
I think the problem with electric variant is that fire (in my opinion) is better in almost any situation. He does better damage and has a good spray radius.
I have never used chomp cannon after hearing all the horror stories but I will have to give it a show, I really like using the goop that freezes the zombies in place.
And yeah I almost always use burrow as an escape tool now.
