Re: Are these Super Mix Events even tested...?

Also I grinded for the unicorn chomper and the computer scientist. VERY long story short i got them both and i feel like im just getting slapped in the face over and over due to events like this and randos revenge .

    The only question I have is WHY do we have two chomper mix events in a row?  Good grief.  What is the next one going to be?  Chompers vs IMPs in Suburb?  I like chompers, but no more mix events like these please.

    I don't know whether I was just in a lobby where everybody sucked, but I found myself at or next to the top of the leaderboards far more often than usual today!  I found this event way more fun on team chomper than team scientist, it's just stressful playing against a bunch of chompers!  Something these super mix events do for me is break me out of a rut of playing the same two or three classes on each side.  I was able to level up hot rod chomper a bunch and gain some proficiency at playing chomper that I didn't have before.  I mastered disco chomper playing ops because he's so much fun, but playing against people is a whole different game for chomper.  When I play unfamiliar characters in multiplayer, I get frustrated at my lack of contribution and always switch back to something I'm good at.

    When these super mix events come out now, there's always the same cycle of opinions about them.  I liked this one, this was a good event.  But I can only take playing a few rounds of these events at a time before I need to do something else.

    I feel these poorly balanced portal events might be stemming from Popcap's lack of understanding on why chomper isn't picked as often. They probably think it's a bias against them, when it's really just outclassed by everything else.
    Pirate can hop in cannon/barrel to nullify a burrow attempt, s. brainz can jump kick out of range, imp can throw out gravity grenades, soldier can jump out of range, engineer's kit is entirely anti-chomper, scientist can warp out of range (or go for immense close range damage) and all-star can tackle away or block burrow.
    It's hard to enjoy playing the class when everything else is designed against you. Chomp Cannon gives him a fighting chance, but that should have been something the class starts with instead of an unlockable item.
