Scientist struggling in this game

I play scientist pretty often and I find it so hard sometimes to confirm kills with him not because my accuracy is bad but because scientist main issues are his close range dps and small anmo capacity and reload speed , it’s funny how a character like scientist that’s very squishy struggles so hard at close range which is dumb however last patch his reload speed was really  terrible but for some reason they actually tweaked his reload speed a bit better which is nice but his anmo capacity needs a buff. I will say that now scientist is actually more fun to play because his primary is now automatic and it’s easier to connect shots on a plant which is fun and hilarious but again I strongly feel like scientist needs a anmo buff or a dmg buff also there’s some hit reg glitch issues when holding down the trigger button when shooting his goop blaster into a plant as well.

    So you want a buff for a zombie and nerf 2 plants (chomper and pea shooter, in your other post). You do know the consensus is that the zombies are overall the better group.

    @GohanV1233  I agree with your post but the game favors Zombies at the moment and making Scientist more capable of fragging would further exacerbate this issue.  Not to mention, we’d have to remove 1-2 warps, if he could kill quicker otherwise, he’d be a monster.

    Side note:  I’ve had people 2-3 shot me with Scientist and it feels like it takes me 20 shots to kill anyone.  🥺. I feel your pain.

    @mikepal19 So, I’m only stating what I feel that’s necessary specifically what characters that needs a few buffs and nerfs from my experiences and I find that both sides have certain characters that are little too strong.

    Scientist had muzzle flash in the GW games so I don’t know why it was changed in this game. If Scientist gets any increases to damage output, they really need to add a startup to Warp like in GW1 and 2. Warp should be used to close in on allies and enemies, not get out of jail free, especially since he gets 3 of them now.

    @GohanV1233 To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much about him until after we've seen his legendary upgrade in action, due in the May prize map.
    If what I've seen of it is right, I think we could well be back in the middle of whole new balance argument 😖

    The only complaint I really have about Scientist is that you can heal or shoot and not both which after both GW games feels weird and one of the things I love about playing healers in the previous PvZ shooters is the ability to both at the same time. I always have preferred Sunflower to Scientist as a healer anyway, but BfN makes that even more of a thing.

    @ToastedSarnie That steam upgrade looks like so much fun! Looks to be very useful in ops and in turf takeover, it will definitely be on my ops loadout. Like you mentioned before, I might not use it in other modes, as it does look a bit unfair at the moment.
