I've been thinking about this, and i've had a bit of change of opinions.
It's going to be quite controversial, but i figured i'd weigh in once more with what i think can be done to fix imp and his Z-Mech.
I disagree with pretty much all buffs to Imp.
the only ones i agree with now are the ones for impkata (WITH my previous suggestions: NOT nerfing the damage.) and the one for his accuracy not being affected by jumping.
Why do i say this?
because that way we can buff the mech a lot more.
Imp was never meant to be a powerhouse. he was always meant to a weaker character, from PVZ1 to GW2, he was always the underdog. low hp, kinda pathetic damage potential, but quite speedy. His saving grace WAS the mech.
Think about it. Why did the devs put in a special "Z-MECH IS READY FOR DEPLOYMENT" popup if not to highlight "hey your powerhouse is ready to be used."'
The entire plot of GW2 revolves around the Z-Mech being the superweapon of the zombies.
Imp is MEANT to be somewhat weak (though not HORRIBLE), and the mech is meant to be the high-priority threat that it was in GW2.
Focus on buffing mech back into its proper spot, and leave imp what it is.
Make the mech the powerful device its meant to be.
The REASON imp exists is for that mighty mech, and while i fully understand the importance of making IMP fun (i main the guy, after all), i've realized that we CANT have both the Imp AND mech be buffed, it will fully break the class.
Imp isnt meant to be powerful, he's meant to be the underdog that annoys the enemy team, but nobody thinks much of him until he drops a massive mech and starts terrorizing the plants.

- benn1nat0r5 years agoSeasoned Ace@Mysterymaster_OP I somewhat agree that buffing imp can lead to problems, as he is intended to be weaker with the small hits and can compensate with his bunny hopping play style. But buffing the Mech by much I wouldn't like it all. The mech made me quit gw2 when it was released ☹️. It just isn't fun to have such a powerful character in a game that mostly consist of capturing and defending point.
- Mysterymaster_OP5 years agoSeasoned Hotshot@benn1nat0r Doesn't have to be that much of a buff, just enough to make people realize the power in imp is the mech, so people dont quit playing imp just because the imp itself isnt powerful enough.
- benn1nat0r5 years agoSeasoned Ace@Mysterymaster_OP Ok I understand now. If the buffs weren't big but noticeable they would improve the situation. You have my support on this matter 🙂.
