Reasons why Rose is OP and how to balance her!

Rose is simply too strong in her current state.

Being able to deal 10 damage with a high rate of fire is already really strong but combining it with the ability to lock on to a target by aiming is just ridiculous in my opinion.

Not only that but she can also disable a player with two of her abilities, what makes a 1v1 really annoying if not impossible to win.

Her slow is strong and really good on it's own but also not allowing the enemy to use his abilities makes it one of the most overpowered things in the game right now! 

There is almost no game atm where Rose is not one of the best performers in the end!

So my suggestions to make her balanced: (I don't want to nerf her drastically, these are simply sugestions and not all of these suggestions have to be implemented 1:1 or all at once!)

1. Reduce her damage in close quaters. I think Rose is supposed to be a Mid-Range-Class. So reducing her maximum damage will help define that role. The overall damage drop from let's say 6-7 up close  to 2-4 at long range won't be as steep as let's say Imp's Damage model who is focused on CQ-engagements so they will feel really different.

OR: Reduce the rate-of-fire!

2. Allow enemys to cast abilities while they are slowed by Rose! 

OR: Reduce the effect-time drastically!

3. Shorten the range for a potential-lock-on!

I think Rose has alot of potential and fits a unique role in the game, but at the moment her disables, damage and self-sustain are combined way too strong compared to others!

Have I forgotten anything or am I completely wrong with some stuff? Pls leave some feedback :]

  • We have plenty of threads dedicated to nerfing rose, please go check those ones out! 

    But you'll be happy to know that she's getting the banhammer. 

  • The only raison rose is actually OP is because his primary weapon became too strong and easy to hit. During the beta there wasn't as much rose as before and I barely saw any complain of her. Once the tracking and damage of that got buffed during release...Well she OP now.

    So yeah just put her Primery weapon back to beta state and she should be fine again.

    Boolerex, Raison isn't how you spell reason. I'm sorry I just have to correct these things. :P

    If you guys don't get rid of Rose soon. I'm done with this game. It has completely ruined the online experience against other players. If it is not fixed soon its gone. I'm going to delete it. It is a * joke.  Judging from my previous experience of playing PVZgw1 I thought you guys did a real good job of balancing players. Obviously some were better than others. It still was something that had to be exploited by better players. I join a "turf war" game... and half the * people are a variant of Rose...... Its getting old. I can dominate with her, this is obvious. Anyone playing 10  minutes of the game can dominate with her. This has to be fixed, and it has to be fixed soon. I wouldn't * if I wasn't a loyal player of this game. I average about 2-3 boasts a game minimum in PVZgw1.... about 1-2 here, but with Rose as an opponent... Nobody wants to be on the zombies team.... even as an OP sci... its just....... rank......
