Chomper needs some changes.
(Summary of what I think should be changed at the bottom of post, for those who don't want to read all this) First things first, let's be honest. Chomper has never been a top tier character. He's tr...

Oh, I hadn't thought of that, I like this idea.
I think his digestion is way to slow. Every time I borrow and kill someone I get killed, and I notice no difference in digestion time with the digestion time perk activated.
- @asaj2210 That’s what we call suicide chomping 🤣
I think Chomper is a solid character when used correctly, but many people are complaining about him so I think he should have some form of a rework or tweaking. I think the primary concerns are his Spikeweed and Burrow. If these are reworked into a less gimmicky, more reliable ability, I think people would enjoy him more.
1. Spikeweed is in desperate need of changes. It feels too on and off with the amount of times it captures someone and feels very weak. I think it should have a small radius where it grabs enemies and drags them towards it to deal damage. The grab would do around 25 damage and the zombie pulled in would take 35 damage from the actual Spikeweed. Another change would have the Spikeweed had a more longer dropoff (launched farther). I think it would improve the distance it could be shot and its performance.
2. Burrow and the eating element he has also needs changes. I think Burrow should have a two results on enemies. If an enemy is 40 health or below and Chomper can burrow them, then Chomper will eat that zombie. If the enemy is 41 health and above, then Chomper jumps and does a weak bite doing 35 damage.
I think these changes would make his playstyle a little more dynamic and get rid of suicide Chompers in some way.
There's a minor difference in digestion time when using the upgrade, but it's nowhere near effective enough. It's especially annoying since, in the older titles, the Chomper could have up to TWO digestion upgrades, which, when combined, would practically cut digestion in half. Not every Chomper got two, but a few of the important ones did, such as Hot Rod Chomper.
I think theyhave changed the chomper's burrow a little bit. After fighting him, I've noticed you can't sprint away from the burrow. HOWEVER, there seems to be a bug with it. Because your sprint speed is quicker than burrow, I am sometimes a few metres away from the burrow, but he still swallows me. All in all, Grody Goop immobilisation slightly increased, increase health and make the mechanics of the spikeweed better. Because you can't eat from behind, spikeweed is best as an immbolisation for grody goop. To be honest, he is a very good character, from range and short.
