Alternate Ability Ideas
We could have a huge thread on alternate abilities, and I’m thinking of posting one for each class as discussing each ability in one thread would be enormous. Instead I want to propose some new ones ...

@Iron_Guard8 I really missed these in bfn. The upgrade system is a poor alternative that misses what made some of them so fun.
Decoy burrow sounds a bit too confusing for players and with multiple chompers using it could lead to some headaches.
I like the wizard sheep idea, especiaally how its countered by goatify.
I like the explosive fire ball idea as snapdragon fireballs having the properties of superbrsinz differing ultra balls but with fire.
80s action hero replacing his dynamite with a z4 charge from gw1 would be a nice idea.
I feel like all-star just summoning an explosive imp with the fan dynamite from gw1 that runs off would be a nice alternative to his imp punts and isn't a drone as they're already programmed in pathfinding.
The solar aura sounds like it needs better visibility to tell a sunflower is using it.
I love the spring barrel idea as it allows deadbeard to have a vertical option that isn't anchors away and can still support him. The barrel will have to be recognizable from stock though.
Superbrainz becoming a ball of punching madness sounds entertaining.
Imp will probably need a lot of work for alts, maybe that ship from the gw2 concept art to go with your teleport idea?

@stukapooka The solar aura would indeed be visible, like a glowing sun field around the Sunflower and it increases in size and and visual glow when you activate it.
The barrel for spring barrel would indeed be visibly different, although still obviously a barrel. Probably have an obvious spring bottom that can be seen and then it uncoils when it activates.
Decoy burrow is a bit confusing which is part of the point, but I was trying to come up with an alternative to burrow and sprint burrow. I was pondering a slow burrow that lasts a lot longer for better ambushes, but wanted to try something new.
- @Iron_Guard8 Maybe an alternative where chompers spines stick out and deal damage and lasts longer but he can't swallow anyone?
The aura being visible will go a long way.
Maybe the spring barrel can look more run down?
