Gravity grenade is fine, they're buffing Roses and Citrons to deal with Imps.. and the same time give Imps a bigger hitbox.
Probably we will see the same amount of Imps, but they will not even close as effective as they were these days :P
I woulded had like too see Eggexplosion give a little bit more time before explode though.
Anyway
I REALLY LIKE A LOT THIS PATCH.
First: TOXIC CITRON 😃 😳 *//-//*
The thing that scaried me the most was the buff to Citron, overall the increased damage, but seems the developers team was smart enough to reduce his damage at medium-high range to counter-balanced that. So no sniping Citron. Good Job!
Little small buffs to Electro Citron urcharged shots. Pretty cool.
The Citron buff will make the plant frontline more consistent and being able to fight scientists, mechs and s.brainz.
Sunflower buff, awesome. I'm just worryed for Vampire which is already quite strong. I hope she will get less of a buff, but i finally love sunflower get some love.
Chompers digestion upgrades works better? Didn't not understand specifically what means?
Rose has got some love, i hope the homing will not make her oppressive as she was.
Some Corns get some love too, low recoil, fantastic. PopCorn too with more Ammo. I couldn't ask better.
My love, Electro PeaShooter buffed.
My Imp didn't not get much of stupid nerf, instead reasonable one, overall i was worried because of Citron and Rose buff coming together.
I like everything on this patch note, except the nerf on turbo twister. They reduced both his armor and his movespeed.. and increase his cooldown too. I think this, together with Rose and Citron being more used (more empach and time snare to stop turbo twister) is too much, that 15% armor imho could stay, but this is mostly on how much they decreased the movespeed, if they revert to 60% or just reduced slighly from 100%.
What else i would had like to see?
Some buffs to:
- Commando PeaShooter
- Cactuses
- All stars (less ranged damage drop-off and lower cooldown on tackels)
- Engineer Stun Grenade
And nerfs on Pirate Parrot Health and Eggexplosion.
thats is just... you should join the devs.
One thing I want to also know is why they are not bringing in new abilities for all the characters.
Buff the sunflower by making her rainbow heal beam do something differently other than being pretty. Like the fact that they kept that in is just nasty. Let rainbow beam heal multiple teamates, but it heals slower than the normal beam, that's the trade off.
Engineer lost an ability.
Cactus corn drop 4 layered area makes it worse than the gw1 version.
Scientist lost two abilities though it gained a nice new one\
The new characters definitely need some new abilities and the old characters need an upgrade themselves.
Some pack teasing;
