so, scientist... why undiscussed?
havn't seen any posts about him yet. I say give him +1 damage. More attack speed. i want him to be the Get in, Get the * out gameplay character. He's too much heal based for me . I used to enjoy s...

yeah, i tried playing some more scientist. He's strong, but not exactly where I'd like him to be :D on the other hand . I was fighting a team with like 5 scientist and yeah you're right , they're really annoying.
The way the heals work now for sunflower & scientist, I honestly find it difficult to say for certain if one is better than the other.
I'm more used to the beam, so find it easier atm because I don't have to think about it - it's automatic. The beam though is hard to direct to the player you want because it jumps to the nearest person - hose direction isn't an issue.
Multiple players can be healed by the scientist hose, though getting close is hard work sometimes (but then they do have a warp!). The sunflower double beam is only unlocked at elite level, not available instantly & it's almost impossible to try directing the 2nd branch to a particular player further away.
The heal burst refreshes quicker & scatters around you, whereas the sticky heal bomb might refresh slower but is a concentrated mass of heals & can be thrown ahead of you if it'll help in a particular place.
If you are shooting as sunflower & use the heal burst, the shooting IS stopped while you twirl the heals, but it's not very noticeable if you're holding down the trigger. Admittedly you can shoot while having the heal beam on someone, but it doesn't always work that well because the beam slips off very easily & trying to RB & RT at the same time certainly doesn't come easily to me!! 😂
What I'd like most for BOTH healers, is actually to be able to heal when you're in sprint, but I don't think heals as they are currently are that bad for either - they're just different
