Dude the only brains I ever see at podium after turf takeover is electro brains. Brains have the hit box of a barn and when your team is able to aim half decent they're simple to decimate from across the batt field.
Only issues I have is electro brains beam dmg and maybe rose not being able to jump as high.
You can't compare GW2 and GW1 the map designs are completely different. GW1 maps had 3 paths of choice mostly blocked or funnelled into these paths and filled with many high vantage points to capture and hold over your opponents and it was centred around the plants being defensively laid and zombies as offensive assaults, GW2 maps are entirely open extremely wide with little high vantage points not inaccessible or reachable by just about every class, using drones, buddies and abilities to find secret hiding holes and places to get to is not a thing in GW2 as its very restricted and mostly kept to the ground level.
The classes are what they are and that's fine I can live with that Peashooters are still awesome most of mine are mastered, same with most chompers again most mastered, Citrons cool also mastered. The damage ratio of Electro Brains is just ridiculous and my only real major complaint it makes playing as a sunflower impossible because you can't heal anybody without instant death due to the fact the beam kills you faster than the person its targeting in about 2 seconds flat.
Sharkbites shot has a splash radius I realised this when using him in the shooting range which gives it greater precision and a better hitbox it also has a better clip then cacti much like how a sunflowers sunbeam cuts through parts of the map. I'm a terrible cactus its my worst class yet I could honestly say I am the worlds best sniper with Sharkbite..that's saying something. Also those 4 shots are relatively fast.
As for people leaving in droves my friends and I are struggling to find more than 1 server running and tonight a total of just 6-8 people from our Region playing at an optimal hour. This may also be due to lag mostly every time anyone joins in or leaves the server, game freezes, and many other little bugs that occur.
