I haven't done enough Multiplayer or tested the character changes myself since the update to see how the balance has shaken out.
I wouldn't doubt that the King's Day Out Boss Hunt was a huge portion of this. Even with 2 flowers and 2 pots (+ spawning potted plants) it could be a very frustrating experience but the most overused character I've seen in MP matches is the Frozen Citron with its extreme freeze ability and hiding all but the gun barrel behind terrain, they were better at sniping than a cactus at times and the freeze was potent to boot.

Talking about the cactus: they should actually buff the Ice Cactus a little bit. Because i do remember several cases where Arctic troopers outsniped me and i takes ages to get those shots in for freezes despite the low damage output.
Luckily the Frozen Citron has been nerfed multiple times now, because that thing was absurd. I remember cases where people constantly taunted me with the Frozen Citron and i could not do anything about it. Because even if you got closer all they needed to do was activate their shield.
