Re: flower buff?

I've become kind of a Sunflower main, cos I really like the character.

In my opinion, they have to be careful not to make each character a jack of all trades.

I think the issue is that not many people are trying to play this game as a team, for example, I've watched zombies run past a bunch of my teammates to get to me on the back lines and when I'm taking damage, nobody on my team is helping me. That's the real problem IMO, because I shouldn't expect to win a 1 Vs. 1 against an equally skilled player that's playing a DPS character as that's not my role, but when your team aren't watching your back you feel like it's every person for themselves and that's what can make it frustrating.

That's also what can make Sunflower's sunbeam ability seem like a death sentence for yourself, because you're basically a sitting duck as you're unable to move, but there are characters in the game that have shields who could protect you while you're using sunbeam, except they just don't. It's hard when there's nobody talking on the mics and the game is kinda hectic due to the high player count.

I would say that it's Scientist that needs changing, cos he's got very solid damage capabilities but his primary healing sucks. With a powered-up Sunflower you have 2 healing beams that heal a lot faster than Scientist's primary heals while also having a much better range, plus your secondary healing, while nowhere near as strong as Scientist's, provides AOE heals that are great when teammates are all grouped up and fighting to take/defend a point. Sunflower's additional overheal is ridiculously powerful too, especially when combined with the 2 healing beams.

    @SigmaTheDJ Hit me up if you want to play sometime. I know how vital and at times thankless being a good sunflower is. Since I've maxed her out, and am concentrating on other characters, I won't be her for awhile, so would like to be on a team with someone who knows how to play her well.

  • @tristkiss & @SigmaTheDJ All like-minded sunnies are welcome to look me up on Xbox if you want healing help. I'm not far off max, so am also trying to play other characters more, but have always generally sacrificed that over providing team heals if no one else is doing it!! Tag same as ID

    Sounds good! I'll add you later on. I should be on this evening, but I'm not sure what time yet.

    EDIT - Oh yeah, my gamertag is the same as my username on here.
