Wizard Feedback
So I burned through my 50 bulbs, then got the 80s Action Hero challenges done and a few bulbs while doing so, and yes burned through some rainbow stars to unlock the wizard by barreling through the g...

I’m not sure how anyone can have an actual opinion on the wizard character, his primary has more unrecorded direct hits then any other character. I’m so disappointed with this character seeing as he is a support character and I play supports. Charging his shot is a good idea to get rid of the auto fire hack that everyone uses, problem is don’t try moving while doing it. Accidentally going to run automatically fires his shot, so in the heat of battle be careful. This is a terrible feature, trying to avoid projectiles while getting ready to fire has the wizard misfiring only to leaving you waiting for a an eternity for charged shot that does considerably less damage than his rapid fire primary.
The exploits added with the wizards ability to ride on zombies is ridiculous, like no one considered the possibility. Adding the wizard also a Battle Arena exploit that allows people to play a soldier every round. If this is a glimpse of what’s to come with every new character, I don’t have the desire nor the want to try any of the others. Things typically get better with time, why does it seem like BFN is going backwards?
Needless to say, disappointing to see such a great opportunity wasted.
I was able to replicate that separate co-star bug again last night in a battle chest match. I had heard you could be invincible with it but I intentionally went directly into a clump of Oaks to test that and was promptly vanquished. It does seem to be related to using the 'two headed dragon' upgrade as had been discussed elsewhere. If it can be made invincible, it wasn't automatic, but obviously that needs to be fixed.
I've not had any issue with shots registering with the Wizard, but if you do charge his shot, be aware that if you release the button too early, you will fire a normal uncharged shot and waste the time you had put into a partial charge. The charged shot is probably the weakest part of his kit. I can't speak on the auto-shot exploit with specific controller types but it's been reported so much that it's obviously a serious problem.
As we talked about in the battle arena thread, wizards, in fact all new characters, should not be allowed in the arena until we've had time to test them in depth. This is doubly true when ranked is a thing.
The glitching and exploits that I see videos about, Wizard, Imp, Acorn, etc. need to be fixed, and should have been fixed by now. The wizard's ability to ride other characters exacerbates an already bad situation.
Edit: The hit registration issue again sounds far worse on consoles than PC based on what I've seen posted. I see it on PC with melee attacks but ranged attacks doing so are very rare. This is a critical issue that honestly should have been eliminated prior to Founders.
