Can you bring back the warp delay

I played a lot of garden warfare 1 and 2 when I was younger and my favorite class was the scientist. He was quick, nimble and does a lot of damage up close perfect for aggressive plays to be made. His warp was the perfect ability for him to do these plays by teleporting near the enemy and destroying him with his goo blaster and other weapons carried by other variants. The warp was powerful but not too powerful because it had a delay and there were only 2 warps and a medium cool down which made you use it only at the perfect moment or you are going to get destroyed by the one you are targeting.

now that I got battle for neighbourville I immediately chose the scientist to test him out his spread is cool so you have to aim a little bit so you can maximize your damage instead of just looking at your enemies and spamming the attack button. But something was different. The warp got a major buff even though it didn’t even need one. Now it can instantly warp instead of 2 seconds of delay before the warp is used, now he has three warps instead of two which makes it more spammable instead of using it strategically and the worst thing was probably the cool down which makes it even more spammable. You can basically go to every enemy and freely get out when everything was too hectic. The warp is too powerful.

just bring back the old warp with the delay and 2 warps with a longer cool down it’s much more balanced and encourages players to start healing players and attacking more strategically.

  • @traumatized101They also made him 2x as effective at long distance fights for no reason at all. Old Scientist was less mobile but had to close the gap between him and his targets to hit juicy damage. BfN Scientist just hits juice damage at all ranges and is way more mobile. While fighting a Scientist in the old Gw games you could at least hear an audio cue and watch a short animation to give you an idea of where he was warping to. Now it's just -- he could have gone left or right.. no one rly knows... also the warp sound plays after he has actually warped... like why not before? Why have a sound play after he warps? The damage has been don he either got away or got right up to you the audio on warp does nothing anymore. If anything it probably just slows down the game as it has to load the sounds. If they don't nerf warp they may as well remove its audio. It actually serves no purpose why is it there ]:P

    I swear if they don't nerf the scientist in the december patch we should all just give up and play as scientist all the time. (Switch sides if you are a plant)

    I played the Classic portal a week or two ago and it was fantastic to have someone with superior internet literally warping around me like I was a noob and shooting me (entirely to death) before I could AIM at him, much less shoot.  Dude got me 5-1 before he started taunting.

    I refuse to play Scientist and Space Station now.... and to be honest, this ludicrous imbalance is making me dislike Zombies altogether.  

    I won’t think about touching PvP till mechanics are fixed and balancing is properly addressed.... 🙁
