I didn't go into enough detail about the stuns. I've preferred the sonic mine to the grenade since unlocking them all those years ago as you can plant them around the area and they'll passively alert you to attacking plants. BfN's swarm mines are kind of odd in that they make a cloud of mines and they seek plants out when within a certain range but they will chase you quite far just to stun you, albeit briefly.
I'm not a fan of being stunned, and don't like crowd control abilities much in general, and then there's the unique burrowed Chomper/Engineer stun interaction that could be looked at, but I do like how they make that 'BRAINS!' sound when they go off and the 'Brains' when they're mines. This is one where I'm not really sure where to go with it to be honest.
@Iron_Guard8 I prefer the old grenade/mine system as the new one just feels really wierd with how far it tracks you but it can also be destroyed if you use it too soon. Not to mention chomper can just shoot you now and doesn't have to worry about getting close and being stunned.
I don't like fps stuns (overwatchs 30 trillion stuns in one match ughhh)The old system felt like the engineers final resort weapon against the far deadlier plant team in gw1/2 to buy him time to retaliate or escape/ he could also save teammates from chomper attacks where in bfn it has to set up then fly towards an attacker who can only be stunned by how many hit them and they can just stand away and destroy them.
