Sunflower thoughts/ideas theorycrafting
After the latest update I think that maybe giving damage to the sunflower was the wrong way to go. Maybe I'm in the minority but when I play Sunflower I play her so I can fast revive, heal with flow...
Forum Discussion
I think some of you missed my point. I'm saying the sunflower doesn't need damage, it needs better support. I doubt anyone "wreks" as the sunflower on offense in term of kills and damage output. I'm just not buying it, currently there are so many ways to one shot a sunflower and if I want to heal I have to be pretty much right next to my teammate because of my heal beams sort range. The scientist is still way better on offense than the sunflower, and with a healing station can be really great if not better than a sunflower at healing.
Personally I would love to see increased movement speed, more HP, remove the damage buff, better healing and a quicker revive and replace the Solar Beam with something better and more support oriented.
Also anyone that "wreks" as a sunflower in KDA/damage and plays on Xbone please add me I would love to see it.
- I wish there was a long rang heal ability. Kinda like corns bigger better butter but bursts into a ton of little suns. Would be a huge help for keeping control of an area.
Alots of people here forgot that heal flower also got buffed by having less cooldown too. It gave it only a 5s downtime (heal flower last 30 sec,cooldown is 35 sec)
It something that boosted his support options a bit.

Yes that was a very great buff, my problem with the flower pot is that it seems to die pretty quickly from AOE damage. There are certain things they could even do with character upgrades, such as "improved healing", "longer range healing", "flower pot health", etc. I feel like the 3 upgrades was a fantastic idea by popcap but most of them are the same, this was really a missed opportunity on their part. The tree already has options for more damage "reload, damage, clip size" this would let the people who wanted a more agressive sunflower to do so and having support upgrades for those of us who wants to run around and support.
The scientist can at least warp away from danger and defend himself. The sunflower cannot. She needs at least a health boost. I have gotten 22 vanquishes using her but it helped that I had dark flower. I still got killed a lot healing my team. For the other team she is the easiest kill. I would like to see her get a health boost but I don't know if it will happen.
I've been wrecking with sunflowers since GW1.

And if you want my opinion, she is perfect right now. After spending hundreds of hours in both games the most common mistake I have observed from almost every single Sunflower (and Rose) player is that they don't know when to back off. You have to learn how to defend yourself even without your abilities. People just want a get out of jail for free card. It's ok for some characters to have that, but what makes the sunflower experience so special and charming is how honest of a character she is. If she beats you, it's 100% because she outplayed you.
Have patience, try to concentrate more, practice and you will see eventually that she is perfect the way she is.
Also why people bring up armor health station and request sunflower to have something similar to it when we all know that armor station is a bad ability in general that take too slow to heal at the first place.
