I'm afraid talk like this will get the new variants nerfed before I ever get a chance to play them.
No worries. While the development team might be prompted to investigate character balancing based on complaints like this they actually look at the data associated with that character during actual play. If the data doesn't back up the complaint then no changes are made.
Besides that, this particular complaint was posted here the very day the character was available to enter play so exactly how accurate could it be when nobody would have had any extensive playtime with, or against, the character? This one is obviously just a knee-* reaction to seeing what was formerly a Plant Boss being played in Multiplayer and assuming that the playable version capabilities are exactly as the Boss version.
