All-Star Changes
So whenever I see an all-star these days they seem to just use their abilities and never their primary weapon. They imp punt and tackle into a group of plants kamikaze style like their primary is use...

All Star was my favorite character from GW1 and I used him (non-variant) almost exclusively when playing on zombies. Now, I NEVER use him. It's a shame/sad to me and something I've thought about a million times. My mains in GW1 were All Star and Peashooter. Peashooter is just as strong as before but not All Star. I use Plasma Pea more than the standard Pea but it's strictly preference (as opposed to performance-based, like All Star).
I agree (100%) that he doesn't need to be effective long range but medium range power is not what it was before. Many people use the abilities instead of primary fire due to the fact that by the time you're in range to use primary fire (effectively), you're also close enough to tackle or punt.
I think the majority of the community prefers TT or other non-deathmatch modes and therefor doesn't care about the All Star much but he's still my favorite zombie and my favorite game mode is Team Vanquish. By playing a deathmatch mode, his lack of power is super apparent/almost a night and day difference from the powerhouse he was in GW1 and that's the reason I never use him in GW2.
Every character has a way to neutralized other players abilities:
1. Chomper, goop him first from distance before he releases his punt/tackle and don't get into straight line. If he already too close, put spike weed to avoid the tackles, and dance around to avoid the punt, goop and eat to finish him off.
2. Pea shooter: Hyper up, jump like a bunny, shoot him from the air and release the bomb behind him, land on high places.
4. Citron: change to ball form, attack like bowling ball or run away and attack from distance.
if already close, stun him, put shield on and never get into straight line, hide behind object....improvised based on the environment.
5. Corn: Husk hop first then husk cop when about to land to his body/feet.
6. Cactus: Shoot while he's far away. If too close, walnut first to stop tackle/punt, put mine surrounding it, dance around your walnut while try to shoot him. Practice shoot in close distance as cactus.
7. Rose: snare him, attack, when snare about to expire, goatify and finish him off.
If short distance, arcane first, go to his back, get out of arcane and goatify. When goatify about to expire, snare him and finish him off while keep distance away.
8. Torchwood: tank vs tank...doable.
9. Sunflower: Sun beam from distance, hide to crowd, put flower pot, dance around while shooting. Sunflower is the hardest to survive in close distance against all star.
So all star punt/tackles is fine...
This is a good video of how excellent cactus defend against all-star:
1. Mine first....I step on it....oppsss
2. Blocker to slow me down so he can shoot me while walking around it and freeze me over (ice cactus).
3. another mine so if I'm in hurry and want to jump over instead of walk around, I will step on it and die (2 mines in a row).
4. another blocker in case I decide to punt him or shoot him.
He is really good, almost got way, I'm impressed,
so I've put all the right move to deliver the "ability" 🙂
