New Ability: Plant Mech

@InC0g

I don't think plants having long range weapons is a good thing, it gimps them for the most part. I'm still giving my brain a rest before I write up a massive list of balancing and tweaks for every class on each side, the ones that I feel need it of course.

I completely understand your fears of me me wanting balance, but look man, I'm here too? I purchased Call of Duty III with the limited edition PS4 and I've barely even played it. I also love the variation here, variation is fun, but only when it is balanced!

GW1 the plants were ALWAYS defending, it's not like that here, plants have to attack, they need a set of tools able to attack in the same way as the zombies.

Hence the need for balance, they gave Scientist a heal beam, they cloned Cactus and made Pirate, but instead of Tallnuts they gave him a Cannon that stops him getting Chomped that hits 50, everyone is using it as an anti Chomper, and also a TNT barrel that stops him getting Chomped and makes him armoured and explodes killing anything near it, balance? Oh wait, he also has a Shotgun!!!

One side is totally gimped in almost every possible way it could be. Something drastic needs to be done, or plants need to be given something slightly nutty to even the odds. And I believe this is exactly what the game needs...

• Cactus needs a Cannon and a Shotgun (Pirate Balance)
• Sunflower needs Warps and Heal Burst, oh and a Shotgun (Scientist Balance)
• Peashooter needs more health and better mobility (All Star Balance)
• Chomper needs more health, more damage, and more damage on his cannon, and range firearms (Super Brainz Balance)
• Rose needs more speed and damage, and a shotgun (Engineer Balance)
• Citron needs more armour and damage, and a shotgun (Imp/Mech Balance)
• Corn is fine, but what the heck, give him a bloody shotgun too (Soldier Balance)

And someone on the plants team needs a Mech too, else this will never be balanced.

By the way, my favourite class is and always will be the Chomper, Fire and Unicorn are my favourite variants, but guess what I'm playing the most right now?!

• Electrican
• Roadie Z
• Welder
• Zoologist
• Marine Biologist
• Paleontologist
• Computer Scientist
• Captain Sharkbite

Not dipped into the Imps yet, and why do I play all the above characters over the Chomper? Because they're so much better, in almost every single way.

Anyway back to the topic discussion, after I've detailed why plants need a counter to the Mech, how do you feel about Chompatron as the ability name?
