My thoughts on the latest weekly mode :D
It is very bad ☹️
I love the concept of this mode. Fantastic idea. For a few seconds become Jesus and kill some dudes. Wowie that just sounds hella fun to me. Except it is not.
This mode heavily favours the Zombies. All the zombies are more mobile than the plants so they reach the gem pooch 1st nearly all the time. At the start of the match, Scientists just warp straight towards its spawn point and grab it immediately. As a player who likes the plant team more than the zombies, this hurts my brain.
Scientist, the support character, the zombie equivalent of the Sunflower is just not fair. It's not a skill thing with the scientist, the actual character is just straight up heavily overturned and busted. This is without the crystal dog. A Scientist with the gem dog can 3 shot a citron with full over health. As Citron, the plant who is labelled as overpowered, you cannot do anything to the scientist in this mode. This whole mode is just plants vs invincible Scientists ACTUALLY one-shotting people. You can't run from him because he has infinite warps (realistically seeing that the warp cd is so incredibly ridiculously low), and you rarely beat him to the diamond poodle. I tried empeaching Scientists picking up the pup but literally nothing stops them. Id kill him but naval laser takes 3 seconds to deal damage, the scientist threw down the sticky healy thingy and it takes 0 milliseconds for him to pick it up. It is a struggle for arguably one of the best plant characters in the entire game, the citron, to actually fight anything in this mode. During my time playing this mode, I never performed bad. Id usually hit the top 4 on the scoreboard. Despite performing well with all the odds against the plant team I didn't find any of it enjoyable at all.
Im hoping the ttk changes make this a more fair game mode. The whole game mode looks like it would be fun. But poor balancing has ankled it completely for me.
I won't touch it again until the ttk changes are released.
For now, t is completely unplayable (imo).
