Balance Issues: The Scientist needs a Buff!
I hope Popcap works on balance issues with each patch. In my opinion the Scientist is way underpowered and the foot soldier zombie is overpowered. The scientist needs a better weapon or upgrade pat...

Can you please specify which platform you're on?
Balance issues are different for console vs PC.

I am on PC platform; the shotgun is too weak. I do zap in and zap out but usually die before I can kill; 3 shotgun blasts didn't kill a peashooter?
I really want to love that scientist but it is the hardest character to play imho.
I believe that the marine biologist does ~22 damage per hit at close range. That would require 5 hits on a sunflower and cactus? 6 hits on the peashooter. 7-8 hits on a chomper. Can't remember what the default scientist does for damage per shot.

I was wrong. It's the astronaut that does 22 damage per hit... 11 per hit at range, but he's got sniper accuracy with his moon rocks.
Default Scientist's close range hit does 70-80 damage I believe; further away is about 30-40.
Marine Biologist's close range does about 30-50; not sure about further away.
Seeing all those vanquish compilation videos, most of them are with Scientists, although I haven't seen one made for PC yet.

There is no way that gun does that much damage, lol. It takes 5 hits to drop a chomper.
Also, most of the upgrades I've gotten and gotten all excited about too btw, have been downgrades. So the standard scientist already has the best stuff, yawn. Why not make upgrades that are more useful or that broaden his use or gameplay. He's already limited enough to just healing teammates, there is no way you're going to use him as an offensive character. The Scientist needs more defensive stuff period.
