flower buff?

Her damage does seem too low. Maybe increase her RoF or base damage a bit.

I understand what you're talking about and I felt the same way as I played this new Sunflower. But, there is a huge problem in "just buffing her damage or fire rate". She would become the hardest hero to kill due to her kit (if you have all perks unlocked you will understand what I mean but I'll tell you...).

Later on, when you unlock everything, she has super powerful healing upgrades. She can heal another player at the same exact time and also overheal them as well. That means you are basically 2 sunflowers. The other upgrades like Cocoon can increase the overheal amount. Another perk can also allow you to increase the rate of healing when allies are at critical health.

The thing is, she can heal/overheal herself using the first perk I talked about. You just try to find another player and the second beam will go towards you. 

I can already out gun a foot soldier thanks to her sun drops ability (and the other abilities It talked about), not as fast as GW1/GW2 though.

What I'm trying to say is, if they wanted to buff her damage, they have to balance her other kit so that she doesn't become Kernel Corn but way much better.

Maybe they can add those as "upgrades" later on. You can sacrifice ability slots for more damage for example.

Her damage or rate of fire needs buffing regardless her kit (GW1 and GW2 were much more formidable killers than the new one).

I've become kind of a Sunflower main, cos I really like the character.

In my opinion, they have to be careful not to make each character a jack of all trades.

I think the issue is that not many people are trying to play this game as a team, for example, I've watched zombies run past a bunch of my teammates to get to me on the back lines and when I'm taking damage, nobody on my team is helping me. That's the real problem IMO, because I shouldn't expect to win a 1 Vs. 1 against an equally skilled player that's playing a DPS character as that's not my role, but when your team aren't watching your back you feel like it's every person for themselves and that's what can make it frustrating.

That's also what can make Sunflower's sunbeam ability seem like a death sentence for yourself, because you're basically a sitting duck as you're unable to move, but there are characters in the game that have shields who could protect you while you're using sunbeam, except they just don't. It's hard when there's nobody talking on the mics and the game is kinda hectic due to the high player count.

I would say that it's Scientist that needs changing, cos he's got very solid damage capabilities but his primary healing sucks. With a powered-up Sunflower you have 2 healing beams that heal a lot faster than Scientist's primary heals while also having a much better range, plus your secondary healing, while nowhere near as strong as Scientist's, provides AOE heals that are great when teammates are all grouped up and fighting to take/defend a point. Sunflower's additional overheal is ridiculously powerful too, especially when combined with the 2 healing beams.

@ToastedSarnie Agreed.

Regular Flower, Mystic, Stuffy, Alien, etc... Flowers had way more fire power before. 

I can understand slightly less damage but the current setup results in easy kills for 1v1 opponents.

Sunflower is now a shoot-and-run style character. She has no firepower and her self heal is slow.

Previously, she was a shoot-them-up style character with one of the highest DPS in the game. Now she can't do anything.
