While I fully support this statement, I do consider the announced bramble patch a satisfying compromise.
With Thorn Patches at 3 HP, not even Soldiers were a viable counter, so you're limited to Heavies (which are too expensive on the long term) and Snipers (which will get destroyed by the Thorns with ease).

In a usual game you might still have your Medic around so you could spawn boosted Runners to get more vision. However, when there's lots of Thorns around you usually can't see much anyway. D:


I would advise you to give the new patch a couple of weeks. You will eventually notice a slight decline in Bramble usage because the Veggienauts will indeed have problems against 4HP Soldier spam instead of an auto-win like previously. Things are quite likely to sort themselves out... and even if they don't, One Man Left will want track the trends before they make any changes.
