Right before the patch, players had gotten so good at adjusting to Rose that it made me second guess nerfing her. It was painful, but no matter what region I played in the zombie player had adjusted and gotten use to fighting Rose. She was still OP, but not unbeatable. If it were up to me, I'd put her exactly the way she was before her bloody reign ended with a few adjustments:
Her spell durations remain as they are now. One of her biggest strengths during her bloody reign was that the slow and goat spells lasted for a whopping 5-7 seconds.
Fire Rose's charged shot does 55 damage instead of 70. With the flame upgrade it would do 70 from the burn damage anyways.
Frost Rose does 45 damage on charged shot instead of 50, but still insta freezes even from splash.
Both these roses should maintain there movement and ability to jump. Uncharged shots should do between 7-8 damage with a slight boost in the speed of them.
Give her back 125 health.
Give her back her standard homing.
Like I said, players who tolerated Rose including myself learned how to fight her with the only real issue being the duration of her spells. Scientist hard countered her, because the homing wasn't as effective close range and good dead beards provided great cover fire. The zombies are so good now, even the blood reign Rose was keep things even with or without my suggestions.
I agree with all you said!
