Legendaries mainly iron citron
So I heard that iron citron is going to have his impact damage nerfed. It's just like why? If anything he needs to have more damage and more damage to mechs, why he does 36 damage to mechs is beyond m...

Definitely not smart in my opinion. The data was probably off because iron mode was a more realistic goal as iron citron than the other legendary/party characters on plants. Mostly a campy character. Not too difficult to get streaks with in TT. Kind of annoyed at people saying he's skilled though he's just campy. I'm assuming this was so he didn't destroy everything in iron mode so easily, but honestly, he's still not that great. I'd compare him to a cactus really. He's annoying, but doesn't help his team too much beside being a tank if he's protecting the hills.

He is skilled in the sense that you have to be able to aim to use him. If you can't aim very well, he is terrible for you. It is true that he is best at a distance. But I play him at mid and close range all the time.
He he is definetly leagues better than a cactus.
- If you can't aim, don't play as a character that shoots... Or a shooter at all...

a weird nurf to hear when you first start his reload was shockingly bad till you had the 2 reload upgrades
To be fair though, the Plants will have more damage in the next patch - EVEN SUNFLOWER. Since Rose and Citron are getting buffed, there should be more CC in team comps - which means you'll see less Super Brainz usage. (THANK GOD)
Also, since Rose is getting buffed in dps/homing, it'll be a nightmare for Imp players outside of their mechs. (Especially considering they'll be even easier to hit when the patch hits)
Yeah i think the same. With 40 Damage he will still be decent though.
Anyway consider he is a super scientists counter and scientists getting nerfed is not unreasonable to nerf him imho, scientists life will be harder than actually probably.
Yeah i really like Citron i'm ok with a nerf on Iron if his gonna get less critbox and less clunky animations, he is the one who will abuse for the most of these two buffs in my opinion.

Second, there are people with varying degrees of accuracy. Some people do just fine with single shot weapons. Some need to be able to fire fully automatically so they have a higher chance of hitting their targets. It only makes sense that single fire shots should do more damage than fully auto weapons. So again, those who can aim better should be rewarded for their accuracy.
Onto wether or not the damage nerf is okay. If you nerf damage from 50 to 40 for a direct hit, that is one more hit you need on a Super Brainz to kill them while they are punching you directly in the face. That makes a huge difference in survivability in that case. If your EMPeach is on cool down, it is already a tough encounter. So I don't like the idea of a nerf for that reason. Also, if the damage nerf also applies to his long range damage, that will truly gimp the character since doing less than 25 damage at long range means it takes forever to kill a character. I know we don't have the details of a nerf yet, but still, like I said Citron rewards good, consistent aiming. I don't see why that is a problem in a game like this or any other shooter.
I personally like the characters as it is....any less damage than its current would make iron citron obsolete again and even more disappointing (it already is the rarest character in the game).
As many mentioned before, there is no need whatsoever to nerf him since the damage is a reward for the extreme precision needed to actually make some difference. Its speed justifies that damage. and to be honest even more.
Please reconsider this decision and comment it further with the community who actually use this variant. @JA_Wiebe
