Honestly? Most of their changes seem fair enough.

I'm not a fan of the proposed corn buff either, but with that, you might see some of the terrible FotM Citron "players" swap back to Corn (or another class) so the TRUE Citron mains can express themselves better. 

All Star's overheat change is probably minimal, so nothing really to worry about there if you know when to let your weapon cool down a bit. He'll still be deadly to citron players as his burst makes short work of them.

Buffing all of Super Brainz's punches will lessen beam use, and make him a LOT deadlier at close range brawls. This is also probably also meant to further encourage players to NOT pop Turbo Twister the moment they see a bunch of enemies.

And to finally reply to the OP:

Honestly, Corn and Soldier have two different purposes now. Corn uses more direct approaches to combat as he's slow and has a big hitbox. Soldier is more ambush friendly - and can traverse the map with his superior mobility. Soldier has a smaller frame, so he's harder to target and can slip past defenses unless he's being followed and tracked by an observant plant player. Soldier also has more class variety, which lets him fit many more roles than his plant counterpart. ZPG (and to a latter extent multi-rocket) feel easier to use than shuck shot and usually net better results.

Does the soldier feel inferior to Corn sometimes? Sure. Some of his variants are underpowered, and definitely wouldn't win against a Corn player in a close range 1v1 situation. His smoke grenade is underwhelming, but it has its niche uses. His other abilities are strong though.
