Agent Pea needs a buff as well. The damage dropoff is just way too sharp, plus his max ammo capacity has been nerfed by 1 (from 15 to 14) vs. GW1. There's no longer a need for AP's max health to be 100 anymore with the new classes.
Most of the issues you have listed arise from you not yet having the upgrades 😉 You can even get a health upgrade to have only slightly less health than all the other peas.
Commando pea however, sucks even with his health upgrade, as he shoots barely faster than agent pea despite agent pea doing over twice the damage per bullet.
Sorry to Bump, I just wanted to be sure @EA_Andy sees this since he didn't respond to my private message as far as I can tell. He's collecting for a report, and I can't have all your support wasted D:
I gave your thread a shoutout in a couple of my balance posts. In the Plants Balance one, Andy said he read all the pages - and said link was in there, so there's a good chance he did.
If not, that's a darned shame. You deserve some recognition regardless - so have a bump.
