Speed Boost Summonables (Suggestion)

Hi excellent forum members (and guests), 

I normally create guides on this forum and I love to join discussions and provide my opinions on tons of different topics - most of them actually. What I do not ever do is provide ideas for new content as suggestions. That changes now. I am going to give @benn1nat0r  lots of credit for this idea of mine to make suggestions for potential new content because he has suggested excellent ideas for adding into PvZ: BFN recently, so thank him for that and make sure to check out his idea post. 

My idea is to add a summonable in the game that is not already in it. This would be for both the Plants and Zombies faction. Unfortunately, my idea doesn’t seem like it would work well for Pots and Bots, so I am going to limit it to just a summonable for both factions.

This summonable would do the same that a Heal Zombie does with healing, except that it would have an aura that, instead of healing, it speeds up allies that enter its radius for a short time (like Arcane Enigma). This would allow players in Turf Takeover on the capturing team to get back into the fight faster, during general fights or especially during overtime. More overtime music everyone! It would most obviously be a Support summonable. The player would get XP whenever that summonable they placed speed boosts an ally. 

Anyways, tell me your thoughts if you are interested. Press Me Too if you agree. Feel free to disagree, but perhaps state why. If you want to reply directly to me, tag me: @TheSprinter85 

Last thing I want to say, I may make more suggestions which could hopefully be added to game every so often, but we shall see. I still think that the #Repairville idea that @Shadowphinx101  mentioned is better to get across to the devs first. We need some desperate balancing and changes first to the game. 

P.S. I sometimes abuse contesting. 

  • @TheSprinter85 First of all thank you for giving me credit 🙌!

    I would love to see some more suggestions from you. If you want to you can reply to my collection of suggestions and post the link to yours there. I could edit my post to include yours. (I would give you credit of course). My collection is focused on quality of life suggestion, though. So maybe @CompleatBeet's collection would be better.

    I think your idea is awesome. It makes no sense that such a summonable isn't in the game yet, as there are others for all the other class types.

  • We used to have summonables similar to this idea; the flag zombies in GW1 and 2 and the flag weeds in GW2. The extra speed wasn't a lot and it only affected other walking summonables nearby but that's another I miss from the older games. Of course I also want the various pirate zombies we could summon in GW1 back and stuff like the laser bean and backup dancers!

    @Iron_Guard8 Ah ha! I didn’t play Garden Warfare 1, so I wasn’t aware of the Flag Zombie and what it did in that game. Makes sense!

    The jist of my idea is to give a speed boost to players, Al Heroes and other summonables similar to, but probably a bit less of an effect for balancing reasons, Arcane Enigma.

    C’mon Ops Phase 3. We have heard about you for so long but have nearly no information on it.
  • It sounds limited, but it can work and would love to see it in-game!
    On the topic of minions, what if they added them in Team Vanquish? I don't know how'd they work, but it'd be cool to have them on your side in those maps too!

    @Fork_x_Spoon It could be used as a way of balancing. The weaker team could get more opportunities to summon helpful ai.
