Making an immobile defender limited to melee has always been a problem; Mister Toasty and Snapdragon are only marginally longer ranged, but we can discuss them when you get to posting them. But indeed, Bonk Choy was at his best in GW, despite how most pots in that game had to be replaced almost every Ops round unless you babysat them as a Sunflower.
In GW2, both sides have a quest to build/plant 15 bots/pots, and I often use these guys as throw away guys to get the quest done, instead of trying to actually use them (although Sunflowers can cheat this a bit by using heal flowers, although not rainbow heal flowers, not sure about the dark flower, for this quest), so I can preserve more useful bots/pots, despite having tons. I haven't been using my legendary consumables in some time as Rux hasn't sold them since 2019 or earlier, so can't replace them, but Monk Choy is better than the base plant for sure, but still not all that hot.
BfN pots/bots are already underperformers, but these 2 are just awful. The proliferation of TV Heads and Wildflowers make these guys little more than speed bumps, and aren't really worth using.
A new game should do make these guys better. They already can only damage you in melee as it is, so even back in GW where Bonk Choy was at its best, they weren't the greatest things to put down. Getting rid of the accursed Wildflowers and TV Heads would go a long way at fixing this, but more would need to be done.
@Iron_Guard8Gw1 ops had the best bonk choy. He could often handle anything that came his way until the engineers started to appear midway through but could dispose of practically every regular zombie in the game.
Gw1 turf also had plenty of corner pots where you could put him for some cheap vanquishes but thab 2 nerfed him and bfn removed good pot placement in the map design alltogether.
Snapdragon is also gonna need a buff when I get to him.
Tv head and wildflower have to go. Ops should rely on the class zombies to break through the defenses requiring players to stop them like in 1 and 2. Bfn also spams way more heal zombies than 1 or 2 did.
