Underrated character variants
I just wondering what people think of some of the lesser used variants of the characters, and if anyone actually likes some of them. I for one, actually like playing as the hockey star quite a lot. ...

Generally speaking most of the characters which are undervalued are given that status by Players because they tend to be more niche or represent a radical departure from what is expected from the others in the Character Class and characters like that require time and effort to figure out the best way to use them on the battlefield and which modes and tactics are best for them.
A lot of the Players I see complaining about this character or that character being "underpowered" or "useless" seem to either not understand their role, not be able to play them properly, or are judging the character based on whether or not they can get the most vanquishes in the game with it because for many playing a character is only worth it if they can bask in some personal glory at the end of the session.
The Hockey Star got a buff to his overheating too. He overheated far too quickly before then, even with the upgrades.
He is underrated though. I try to play all the characters even if I float towards certain ones more than others. His RoF makes him a joy to play much like the also underrated Sky Trooper who is also one of my favorites.
The Alien Flower seems to be often overlooked but I find her ability to damage people I can't quite see due to terrain and shooting near them so the cloud damages them very handy. She was very good in the recent portal event too, since her clouds can linger for awhile and vanquish people just passing by.
Then there are some characters that simply rule in ops mode while not so great in multiplayer. This can vary by the player's skill or play style. I can't do much with Alien Flower in TT, but in garden ops she's a monster.
- Alien flower deserves a lot more respect. Back in GW1 I have gotten the most vanquishes with her before in G&G. Most people seem to just not notice or care about the spore mist, so it's always a good idea to just constantly shoot into a group of zombies. That spore mist damage can add up real quick along with the contact damage she does.

under-powered simply refers to a character that can't do dmg or have the same survivablity as other when the gun has been swapped out
I've seen quite a few people never go back after they get their party citron and code scientist
