I'm not playing multiplayer anymore - b/c of rose

This is really sad. I loved PvZ Garden warefare, played hundreds of hours.  Loved it so much I preordered the digital download of Garden Warfare 2, and now I'm wishing I could return this game.  I mostly play multiplayer, but its not fun on GW2.  EVERY GAME I PLAY HAS NO LESS THAN 6 ROSES OR MORE COMPLETLY DOMINATING THE MAP.  With 8 on the field as is common now its completly hopeless.  I've played competitive shooters most of my life and i've never run into anything this unbalanced that wasnt due to hacking or modding.  What im also running into a lot which is sad is i'm very rarely on the plant side.  Its like all these people quickly switch to plants if their starting as zombies and then they just stay as rose THE WHOLE TIME.  Where is the fun and balance in this.  I heard that plans are in the works to 'nerf' rose, but honestly I dont see this helping much without completly altering her abilities and character variants.  A group of 6 or more roses is still going to be over-whelming, especially when her thistle shots are deadly from clear across the map..... I'm just really disappointed.  Garden Warfare was such a great game, but my favorite way to play just isn't fun.  My fault for buying digital I guess.

    Agreed, although the ice variant of rose which can lock you up solid is still very frustrating.

    At first, I avoided MP, but once I found a character that works for me to counter the Rose, I enjoy it - most of the time anyways.

    I am frustrated that they don't seem to have a sense of urgency about fixing the rose.  It's been two weeks now. From the first 30 minutes of gameplay, everyone saw how obviously broken the character was. I thought for sure it would have a fix before the official release date. Still nothing though.

    They have lost money for sure because of the rose.

    I'm officially done with this game until they fix this issue. I tried to make a joke of this in the beginning of the release. I even changed my Nickname to fit the hype about her, but this is off the charts. She simply has everything going for her, and I only see people use extreme examples against her - Saying that you've seen a Scientist go' 60+ against them is beyond me, and sounds like wishful thinking if you ask me.

    How they can they possibly add a character to a game like this? She has the highest possible damage output at the most reliable rate ever. She even gets an upgrade that makes her bullets home even more in. This is a joke.

    I am a huge supporter of counter-picks and different solutions to different situations, but this is laughable. I'm done with it.

    I've had my share of abuse from the rose crew these past few days, I mainly play multiplayer. But I still have a blast and whike frustrating at times the satisfaction of unloading a clip with Chemist into a cluster of 3+ roses and other plants and hearing that ping..ping..ping.... makes it all worth it. Sneaky Sneaky scientist is where it's at.
  • As engineer roadie Z you can wreck rose right now quite easily you pretty much disable her abilities.

    As brainz just jump jump punch and spin to win.

    As soldier use the double rocket jump skill that gives speed rather then height, and when you on low gravity parts of the map just rocket jump high up the air and come down like meteor with rocket and finish her off :D

    If you can manage to counter rose now you can counter rose defiantly once patch is live.

    As pirate class you can just snipe her from a distance and use bird, don't bother using barel on her she just goatify the barrel, you don't really stand a chance up close to rose.

    As soldier its very satisfying to ambush her from the air :D because its not that easy especially with a controller :D

  • This game would be amazing without Rose's sheer overpowered-ness.  I can somewhat deal with regular roses now, but Rose VARIANTS!?!  No, that is just bullcrap.  I mean, Ice Rose makes it so you can't even play the game, literally, because you are frozen easily.  Also even when I do play as plants, I can barely get vanquishes due to the Roses hogging all the vanquishes.  I boycotted Rose by the way, two aoe stuns, an invincibility mode, AND homing thistles that can have ELEMENTS on them.  Yeah, not gonna happen, gonna stick to playing single player and co op.  This game would be amazing as I said without bloody Rose ruining everything, mostly the variants.

    yea Rose makes MP bloody horrible but yesterday I had three separate full games and one side kept massing roses but what made this entertaining was ZOMBIES WON! I couldn't believe it and the plants kept leaving cause of it and as with my luck im always on the auto balance list it seems and watched them try and mass rose again and watched them fail there are teams of zombie players(including myself) that have adapted to killing rose like me personally I use a master ranked Scuba foot soldier for the aoe and damage as well as that minor radar tracing you don't know true joy till you've killed 5 roses in quick succession without dying(well I did die but that was cause of a chomper).

    Playing against a group right now who somehow keep getting put on as Plants, every single time, and who immediately take at least 4 Rose's and they all stick together (believe it's a premade), how are they 'not' being switched to zombies every other match?

    I'm not sure why teams aren't swapping after each match, I had thought that was how it works. I typically will play as zombies 3-5 times for every turn as a plant, which is fine though as I prefer zombies.

    I prefer Zombies also. It's just annoying when you get those people who abuse Rose (we all know who they are, the ones who play as her all the time, even after mastering her). It's nice to see that broken up some, but when it seems like 6 or so people are in a premade playing together (late at night so 6 is about max size), then 3/4th of them pick Rose's, and it keeps throwing them on plants round after round, it's kind of disheartening.
