No, they don't. I mean damage mitigation comparable to the Engineer's turret gun mode. I think they have something like 50% mitigation.
And Captain Deadbeard needs a speed reduction while in barrel form. It's absurd that he can run down unencumbered classes with no speed penalty while enjoying nigh invulnerability and a 1-shot kill AOE burst.
without all the chatter...
BUFF -
Flower - It's a Fragile, underpowered, underhealing, unsupporting class that even the variants ( Alien Flower ) Don't do enough damage to justify the "rareness"
Rose - A "little" more damage or like most suggest, more HP to sustain a fight longer.
Chomper - Drop the digest cooldown, Or give an armor boost during digest. Or at least MOVE while digesting.... anything besides... SIT and Shoot me while I slowly savor the taste of your team-mate.
irrelevant
Cactus - Its a shame Tallnuts are so built into the game... It's not about a buff or nerf... It's a game mechanic that just doesn't compare with what other classes can do.
NERF-
SuperBrainz - Yeah- We all know
Imps - High damage, High Risk!! Lower the HP. You can barely target the thing. Compared to the Billboard head of a 100HP Sunflower that's YELLOW!
Scientist - Maybe "Slightly" less point blank damage or YES, the 1 warp. Warp IN or OUT... But both is a little on the sneaky, cheesy side for the character that can blast you in 2-3 shots and be gone a second later and healing himself. Compared to the sunflower?.... ummm RIGHT...
BUFF Corn? Srsly ? it's probably one of the best stable plant characters out there at the moment.
