I think Kernel Corn is perfectly fine how he is right now, Foot Soldier should get a nerf instead. Let me explain:
In this game, Corn and Soldier are the same type of character for both teams, not like in GW2, there, Corn was meant to be a slow tanky, team player, crowd control and high damage character, while Soldier is meant to be more versatile, minor damage, alone, harass, pickoff character. In BfN, Soldier and Corn are the same type of the Soldier from GW2.
We all know why Soldier is the same of GW2's Soldier, but let me explain Kernel: Shuck Shot and Husk Hop have way less damage and accuracy than their GW2 counterparts, but have minor cooldown and more splash, to be able not to kill the target, but harass then (principally Husk Hop), and Husk Hop is way more reliable to escape fights, and repositon. Butter Beacon makes Corn more versatille by giving him vision, he can see people and predict then more easily. His ground movement after the last patch gave Corn a good way to take out people in X1 fights, by making Corn, again, more versatille.
Corn is one of the most balanced characters in this game, his skill cap is very high, he is not good without a team to help him (game's principle), almost all of his upgrades are balanced and not useless or way too strong (except cornucupia and Shogun-Guard, they are garbage lol). They should nerf soldier's upgrades to make him balanced, Rapid Fire, Ranger and Sitcky are WAY too strong right now, surpassing Corn in his current role.
