Chomper's Burrow Ability Needs Balancing
Chomper's burrow ability is one of the only abilities where I can truly say, it's overpowered. It's extremely easy to use and the small negative of not being able to attack shorty after eating someon...

Ever played Loggy Acres vs 5 Chompers while carrying a bomb? with no engineers in your team? Good luck winning!
*I'm only talking about Turf Takeover final objectives for now*
I think that one of the reasons the success rate for the plants is really high on Loggy Acres is because of Chompers trapping every corner and burrowing most of the time since they know where the bomb is coming from. It's an infuriating experience with zero gun play. I'm supposed to rely on my teammates but will they really try to counter those Chompers? It rarely happens.
On the other hand, the success rate seems higher for plants too in Turning Point (getting batteries) I'd say out of 10 games, 6 or 7 games are usually won by plants in there (the plants team must be really bad if they couldn't win this). Let's imagine that the zombies had a Chomper as a teammate in the same exact map, do you think the plants would manage to escape with batteries? as soon as those Chompers see where the batteries are, they will burrow towards them and insta-kill them. Just like Loggy Acres.
Yes, you can avoid a Chomper if you're 1v1ing them in normal situations and most zombies can find a way to deal with it. It still makes it difficult for the zombies to do their roles (e.g. a Chomper that always kills Scientists or key players during contesting phases. Super Brainz may not be able to do the same thing to the enemy Sunflower because she can always overheal herself (after she unlocks those upgrades). And then she might just get "revived" by others while Super Brainz die in the process.).
*Disclaimer: I'm talking about games that have more than 2 Chompers. 1~2 Chompers are usually fine. Unless they're both really good.
It GW2 chomper all over again except that now every zombie have at least the options to sprint to outrun it.
The only time where burrow should kill you is if you were busy fighting another plant or if you were stuck at some place for any reason, otherwise you should be able to either see or heard it. And that you're cue to get the fug out of there and to climb some car or something to prevent him to reach you.
Thankfully it seem that bunch of people here are already experimented enough to know that.
