EA Staff (Retired)@ShavedThronel0 - the forum isn't ignored, even if developers aren't actively posting, it is reviewed by them and feedback is directly sent over too.
So yes, I of course mean leave it here so we can take a read over it, not so that it can be ignored.

My #1 request: Don't over nerf or over buff. Make very small changes only.
Close 2nd: Stop allowing team switching when the teams are even. Also do not allow people to come in on a team that has an extra player already. This game is not fun when the teams are off by 2 or more, especially when there are only a few people in a match which seems to be a frequent occurrence now.
Class balancing isn't that far off, really. Only a few minor changes:
1) Nerf electro brainz splash range/dmg
2) Lower imps health by about 10. Don't go all the way back to 50 please...
3) Slightly lower health of parrot and slightly raise health of cactus drone.
Please do not nerf scientists or mechs. Scientists are a high risk/reward glass cannon and they are easy to counter if you pay attention to your surroundings. They were fine in GW1, and they are fine now. Mechs are also easy to counter. They are huge targets and a single pea gatling can own them at range. The only minor issue I have with mechs is when there are a ton of them, it makes capturing objectives trivial... If you nerf them at all, please just nerf their capture rate to 50% of other characters.
Bugs:
1) Leaderboards respond slowly and freeze entire game.
2) Zen Sensei quest very difficult to complete, while other kill boss quests work just fine.
If its balance items you want to discuss, probably better to tag popcap_jago than Andy, just FYI 😉

Zoologist clearly need a nerf though. Way to easy to play him effectively right now.

So much this.
As for Op post, like everyone said, there no sense at nerfing pea gatling and sunbeam. Especially if you don't even add engineer big bolt blaster in the list. And of course there the fact that you're asking to put super commando back to his OP state hue.
Spawnable bosses would be cool
