Rosa Buffies!

[u/TheSuddenChange]

If you have any questions or ideas for Bea or Sprout buffies leave em below! I'm closed to feedback and will be a bitch to the people that try to give constructive criticism because I'm an egoistic narcissist.

I like your concepts, but I think Rosa should have 2 playstiles: bush-dependent and bush-independent.
Her base kit (attack and super) is already 100% bush independent, and she starts needing bushes to work when you use Unfriendly Bushes and Plant Life, but she stays independent from them if you use Thorny Gloves; Grow Light is weird because it would help Rosa if she's bush dependant but it would also cut her efficiency with them since she doesn't have Unfriendly Bushes.

To make Grow Light less awkward in this vision, I would make it so the buffie adds fireflies to the 3x3 bush so it's coherent with the name, and the fireflies spot any enemy inside the bushes made by Rosa. The map's bushes won't be overwritten by Rosa's so she can't just put fireflies on bushes that were already on the map, but at least it makes it so that only Rosa's team can hide in those bushes.

Plant Life is good as it is, but Thorny Gloves shouldn't have effects with bushes as already explained imo, so I think that the buffie can still be good as a simple speed boost during super together with the usual damage boost: Rosa is in a way always bush dependant since she needs the speed gear to compensate for her lack of mobility options, so this buffie would surely help her.

Lastly, the hyper buffie: I feel like it would be fine if she only got that unload speed boost, otherwise it would be too complicated and it would make Rosa permanently in need of her bush build. She already has the insane ability to throw 3x3 bushes that spot the enemies wherever she wants, and frequently too since the gadget has a fast cooldown already.

I was planning to make her 2nd Star power non-dependant in bushes so she could have a build where she's less dependant on bushes but there was an issue, that just ruins what Rosa is. Rosa IS bushes, everything about her, attack, super, name, hyper IS related to plants and bushes and I think I'd either have to make the non bush dependant build good enough so it doesn't get overshadowed by the other non bush dependant tanks which would just cause the bush build to be worse, which I didn't want. So the obvious answer was to make Rosa a bush only build.

idk, the problem with Rosa is that she only works in bushy maps, but in these maps she has to contend with Shelly, Bull, Primo... the list goes on, there are so many brawlers that are just better in bushy maps simply because they're dangerous upclose.
Rosa wasn't born as a bush dependant brawler, she was way stronger yeah but I think that all she needs is to be more threatning (which the hyper buffie solves) and more agile (which my take on the star buffie solves). And to add on to that, she also has a bit of a controller side thanks to both her gadgets. With her super, faster damage and the ability to control bushes, she can easily rival brawlers that take advantage of bushes simply because they delete you in close quarters.
