Healing Boast Needs To Change To The Team Support Boast
What Is Wrong With The Healing Boast?
The healing boast is the only boast in the game where only specific characters can get it unless there are spawnables available. It makes this boast much more reserved for Sunflower and Scientist only and I feel that even though healing is a large part of the game, it is not recognizing the other things characters can do to support the team. I believe that a boast should not be locked away for most of the cast.
What Should It Be Changed To?
I believe that instead of having a Healing Boast, I think we should have a Team Support Boast. This boast would record all points a player has done that counts to contributing to the team. It would give many characters access to another boast they never were able to really get before and it would reward players in a new way.
What Would The Team Support Boast Recognize?
Points for this new boast would include...
-Speed Boosts (Engineer, Rose)
-Damage Blocked (Citron, Space Cadet Passenger, All-Star, Shogun-Guard)
-Healing (Sunflower, Scientist, Acorn)
-Spotting Assists (Butter Beacon, Spotting Upgrades, Wizard Co-Star)
-Ability Assists (Goop, Spikeweed, Gravity Grenade, Super Stink Cloud, etc.)
-Armor Assists (Wildflower, TV Head, Wizard Co-Star)
-Spawnable Support (Pots, Bots, Spawnables like Weed and Browncoat)
Possible (I don't know if they should) Points For This Boast...
-Max Damage (Cactus, Cpt. Deadbeard)
-Suppression Assists (All-Star, Citron, Z-Mech)
How Would This Impact the Game?
It would highlight characters who give support to their team and give extra reason to play them. Additionally, it could open many people up to trying to play to play like a team and add depth to the gameplay for many people who did not recognize this before.
