Ways to nerf Steam Blaster

Steam Blaster is absolutely Overpowered and I’ e come up with some ways to nerf it.

•Decrease the projectile length to 3.5 Meters instead of 13 meters.

•Increase the projectile width to 2 meters. 

•Add a 0.75 second delay to warp.

•Decrease Sticky Heal’s heal rate by 40%.

Steam Blaster is meant to play as a High Risk/High Reward character that does well if you aren’t afraid to get up close and personal. The main problem with Steam Blaster is that it has very little risk to it. Steam Blaster can attack from a way too high range to justify his damage. Nerfing his range would make it much riskier. To make up for this, a wider steam projectile in order to make him more of a crowd controlling glass cannon who needs to get very close to plants in order to get kills. Another way to make him riskier is to add a delay to warp, so that he can’t instantly run away. Lastly, Sticky Heal heals way too fast. It can get you to full health in seconds.

  • Dang, is Steam Blaster's range that long? Such a nerf to the length of it might seem a bit harsh, especially after what we've seen with Nightcap's projectile width. Speaking of that, the buff to that would just make him bury anyone close to him, but because of the previous nerf okay. I like the delay on Warp & the nerf to Sticky Healy Thingy should ONLY apply on Scientist because the thing doesn't last very long & will encourage more generous play with the ability.

    Also, nice image.
