Opinions on the game and hot topics
I'm reading a lot of opinions and thoughts on the game and it's great to see people so passionate about the game! I figured I would give my input on some "hot topics" that seem to be going around all...

The dynamic has changed so greatly from gw1. The zombies have a sniper class now to rival that of the cactus.
You see, you have to understand. The old zombies powers were based off of the need of not having certain classes that the plants had. Like the Sniper. So guys like the scientist made up for that role. Now with the inclusion of 3 new classes on each side and 3 more attack zombies and 2 attack one complete support character on the plants his role should diminish significantly. To that of a weaker healer.
I'm really telling you, the scientist is one of the real problems with why the zombies have an edge. They already have like 400 hp mechs now, and more than enough damage from all of their other classes. The Electro Brainz, Scientist class and the Imp have balance issues.
You said you have to play these characters to get to know their weaknesses. But it's also how you learn their strength. The scientists strength is so much so that once you see it you realize it's too much.
I can deal with quite a bit, and even some slight imbalances. But the 3 things I said (Electro Brainz, Scientist, and Imp) are things I can not take. Ones just a variant. I can live with the super brainz class, but not electro brainz arc damage. And the imps life needs to be dropped to like 60. But the scientist needs some overall nerfs. To like mobility, and damage.

Since you brought up the scientist and Uni, I would like to add that you can really see what an unfair advantage the scientist has with his take downs. Both these characters can warp then kill, but only one can avoid certain death afterwards. After Uni warps then chomps, there is that death-sentence cool down period. So you trade you life for one kill. The scientist, can kill several others, then warp to safety, heal up, and get right back in the fight, without having to even worry about respawning, and crossing the map again.
The scientist is one of the deadliest characters there is, and it would be nice to either give Uni the same ability to instantly warp away after a kill, or else reduce the scientist to only 1 warp with a decent cool down period, so if he comes in to kill, chances are he ain't leaving alive.
Chompers in general just don't seem to be worth choosing in the game. It seems like every vanquish gets you vanquished. He's such a large, clunky, slow target with a huge crit box. If you want to use a slow, clunky character, you might as well choose Corn, seeing as he has one insta-kill from distance, and the Husk Hop, along with the hill protecting butter bomb thing.
I don't mind how ridiculous some of the scientists are, but I do mind that the sunflower just seems to rollover in just about every exchange with any zombie. If Electro Brainz arc is going to be so ridiculous, why shouldn't sunflowers electric variant? (I'm aware that one's a tank and the other's a healer.) My point is that there is no equivalent to some of the zombies on the plants.
