@stukapooka The only character I can think of that is as oppressive as GW1 Super Commando is GW1 Toxic Pea, and for BfN Brainium Basher. Toxic Brainz in GW2 ticks a lot of people off and could use a nerf but I don't see that many of them, and they tend to get ganged up a lot when you do. Also in GW2 when the zombie team has like 3+ Imps and they all get their mechs out at once can be rough, although that corn vs. Imp portal event saw Imps getting stomped hard, I never saw Imps do well in that matchup at all.
A couple others could use looking at like Astronaut, but part of why GW1 is my least played of the 3, is the proliferation of Toxic Peas and Super Commandos. I still love GW1 of course, but that's one reason I play it less.
@Iron_Guard8Toxic brainz is kinda overrated at times as he's very lackluster without his overload. Chomper can also easily dispose of him, even in overload. He could use a slight nerf but I don't think he needs as big a one as the community wants to give him.
Astronaut can be a bit much but how can we forget when marine biologist was a pain.
Gw1 is a mixed bag for me nowadays. Its got the best maps in the series and i really like a lot of the aesthetic and design but its balancing, lack of pve, and leveling up system (it locked abilities behind this as well) aged like milk in the sun. I also found plants pretty underwhelming outside of g&g. Shame as I'd take any gw1 remaster with bots over a bfn map.
The spam of peashooter and foot soldier as a class gets pretty old really fast.
Wallnut hills especially highlights this with the lack of new characters in the map in gw2 as the balance changes really skewer it and you can tell its just not suited for the og8 anymore, alongside bringing back the class spam from gw1.
I feel like gw2 hit that sweet middle ground between having too little classes that they become overused like gw1 or having too many to the point they are underused like bfn.
Tbf any game where three mechs get called at once is gonna feel overwhelming but thats kinda the point of the mech.
Imp is not corns equal in gw2 at all and even the mech has a big hitbox that he can abuse with his abilities and chew through them at a surprisingly fast pace with regular weapons when hitting the glass.
