New ability suggestions
Balancing on the battlefield seems to be a big subject lately so I wanted to throw out some ideas for abilities to bring things up to pace with some of the lacking classes.

Just got the idea for a "vampire heal beam" for the scientist that would replace his heal station with a beam that attaches to ENEMIES and leeches their health to heal him. Would be fun to get in close, latch on with a beam and drain someone of their life force right?

@This needs to be a thing! suggest it to @JA_Weibe on Twitter. If you can't I'll do it for you. And I'll give credit where it's due.
also just think of chemist with that.

No it shouldn't be a thing. Scientists are already arguably one of the most overpowered characters... allowing them to shoot you and drain your life while healing themself would basically ruin the game.

Counter-Argument: When garden warfare hit 8 million players, it showed a list of most played characters most used ability and scientist isn't even on there! Meaning he's the least played class. Also it wouldn't heal you at a rate of 30 Health per second it would heal you at 7-8 heath per second. heck maybe lower... Also since you have Camo Ranger as your picture I suspect you play foot soldier.... He's MUCH more of a problem...heck he's been spawned 2x more than all star. And God knows how much more than scientist.

1.) It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a scientist character is the close quarter character of the zombies... and probably does the most damage, especially if they have a side effect like fire or toxic. Add on top of that the ability to both take away more health from them and regain your own... is SERIOUSLY overpowered.
2.) Just because a character is least played doesn't mean he's not OP. It just means that people prefer shooting at you from across the map because they're chicken * about their K/D ratio. That's why the Camo Ranger is an issue to many.
3.) My foot soldier is my lowest ranked zombie. I'm level 40 on All Star and Scientist. Engineer is next highest... so you suspected wrong.

Actually it would probably be pretty well balanced, just as the Vampire Sunflower has only 75 health to compensate for her health stealing I'm sure a vampire scientist could be balanced the same. Possibly by giving it less health or reduced damage.
@xcrimsonlegendx I just realized that me and you use almost the exact same loadout, I use Chemist and I use the Pink Camo and I wear the swirling glasses... I'm not Kidding. This is how I've customized my chemist.
What abilities do you run?
I got a ability idea, tell me if you like it, and if I forgot any features.
Imp-Visible
Replaces Impkata
(Unlockable)
(Ability)
Effects
When you activate the ability you turn invisible for 5 seconds.
You explode when ability ends. (you don't die) (Small Explosion)
If an enemy is hit by the explosion they take 15% increased damage for 3 seconds.
You move 20% faster while invisible .
You take 10% increased damage while invisible .
You can’t attack while invisible.
You can’t deactivate it after you start it.
Using jetpack doesn't reveal you.
You can call down your mech but you can’t use it until you become visible again. (it will land near you.)
You can't use any other abilities while cloaked.
You aren’t slowed by goop but you are still covered with it.
EMPeach gets rid of cloak. and stuns you for 1 second.
When you become visible you deal 20% decreased damage for 3 seconds.
You still make noises while invisible.
There is a .5 second delay before you become invisible
(Imp grabs a controller and pushes a button then vanishes
sounds cool but u would be outlined so its not opI wish the sunflower had something similar to the bean bomb: maybe a spinny bomb and call it a solar windmill or just a regular bomb and call it an Ellerman bomb. Alternatively, maybe something along the lines of Arcane enigma that allows you to escape and do damage (coronal eruption). She'd have to trade her flare, of course, for any one of these. Just as you are forced to choose between goop variants and the like.
