Ok, I've done a pretty let's say "decent" amount of GW2. (I don't have it but my friend always wants me to come play it with him). I think Rose upright NEEDS this nerf. The reason really popular games get so bad in the matter of days is due to there always being that OP character or strategy to literally be annoying as all heck, and when someone has the ability to use that said character or strategy, they utterly SPAM it. I can't stand going into a Multiplayer game and playing as the Zombies. I KNOW I'm going to have a bad time since there will always be at least a Rose. Rose has almost godlike damage with that 70 + Fire Damge that as the lower health zombies like Imps and the Scientists that literally RUIN your day. And with that homing ability and upgrade it makes it an undeniable death or most of your health gone.

Here's how to make a character that does a lot of damage but isn't OP: Camo Cactus had the ability to do 66 damage with its NORMAL attack. (I'm not sure if that has changed since we haven't unlocked Camo Cactus in GW2.) Though you usually have to zoom in to do that since Camo Cactus's non-zoomed shots fly anywhere. And you only get 5-6 shots. Then you have to wait a pretty long time to reload. Any Chomper can 1-Shot every character. But if it does one shot them it has to wait a while where it is powerless to swallow. Potato Mine can also one shot people. But you are set to a limited amount and they are avoidable my walking around one or shooting it to blow it up. Chili Bean also one shots but you have enough time to avoid it. All the usual one shot attacks and abilities must have some way to be avoidable.

Rose doesn't have that. Unless your quick as a flash and are somehow able to run behind a wall quick enough (If you do you have my respect.) It's abilities give it more uneeded power. Like said above its a crowd control character. But a crowd of them is annoying if not unfair. Its ability to slow down a whole group and have them take whatever it and every other nearby plants use on them. Seriously a Peashooter can throw out a CHili Bean in that time you are slowed and get rid of that entire group. Its Goat thing pretty much screws you unless your close enough to damage anything. And the ability to gain invincibility and run away if it ever DOES get hit is enough to make me scream.

I don't care if they do anything damage-wise. But the homing ability and its abilities need nerfed immensely. We actually lost a round of Team Vanquish 50-3 to a camping team of several types of Roses and a two Sunflowers. If that isn't OP and you say it isn't OP then you use Rose ONLY. Or you are downright blind.
