As a acorn rider on an oak. The scientist instant kills the rider with the steam upgrade

@Gormey and @ToastedSarnie yep, I agree... I didn't use that corn upgrade for more than a couple of days.... and my partner has also dropped the upgrade and gone back to the original corn. Sad state of affairs for the plants ☹️
Just had a few rounds of TV. Steam blaster scientists dominating the Vanquish master slots again. And with at least 5 clear kills over everyone else.
Looks like we have gone backwards here.
It is a support character. A lot of thought went into Rose and how the upgrade rewards support play. What happened with Scientist?? This needs a hotfix nerf imo.
I was going to ask people how this upgrade is working out is as I haven't unlocked it yet. I saw 2 of them in a match a bit over a week ago but I mostly pegged them at long range as I didn't want to be anywhere near them after watching a couple of videos on it and it certainly looked extremely nasty.
It looks like it needs a nerf pretty badly. Scientist has so much mobility and this weapon basically makes him a hybrid of the Chemist and Alien Flower all at once which is very nasty. Even with short range and a limited fire rate (and apparently one can abuse his fire rate, at least on console, as I saw a YouTuber do so), a lingering damage cloud on a character that can warp and self-heal is too much good in one package.
On a side note, I do use the corn upgrade one of my 3 corn builds as it actually works pretty well overall (although it could use a small buff of some kind), the Rose legendary has been decent, although seems better in Ops than PvP as you can get charged from a LOT of goats, but this Scientist upgrade is just too good. At the very least, fix the rapid fire glitch and reduce the damage it does, if not addressing the other issues (such as the 3 instant teleports).
