Stuffy Sunflower Buff Balance Suggestion

I believe that when the Stuffy Sunflower receives shared vanquish kills, that it's primary weapon's ability should still activate and drop sun for healing. I say this for two reasons:

1) The character itself is weak, and like most Sunflowers, are meant for support. Unless you're using Shadow, Fire, or Power Flower, you're not really going for kills, nor will you get them much. 

2) The amount healed from her ability is not that much to begin with, but can be a life saver and helps speed up the healing process. If she's helping out on the front lines and is getting shared vanquishes, then the player's effort should be rewarded with the ability activating. Of course, assists should not count, and her damage and fire rate should be kept the same.

    Another possibility is increasing ammo capacity to 45 (I think standard Sunflower is 50?).

    But I like your idea more! It´s more fun to enhance her unique feature.

    She could use a small buff because her general fightability is a little lower. Although I don´t think it´s super important, I think she is fine.

    Personally I play her the most out of all the plants because of... well, rainbows! 🙂

    Yea, it's sad to see a new variant so pitiful in a PvP environment. Her thematic ability is lackluster, but she is a great character model visually.

    I would suggest to veer away completely from the existing idea of getting health via kills. Rather, I think we could implement two things that make her more viable in a support role:

    1. Upon death, she has the option to revive herself after 3 seconds with half HP, essentially repairing herself like a stuffed doll. This can only occur once per life.

    Or,

    2. As she heals others, she receives half of the health back as self-healing, but she no longer can regenerate health passively.

    I think either offer much more interesting gameplay mechanics.

    Wouldn't mind a small buff like that.

    Edit: Also she isn't that bad, she pretty much basic sunflower with less ammo,not the worst thing to lose, for a small health drop at kill. a small tradeoff for a small bonus.

    True, but, at least to me, the greater the variance, the better the variant.
