    In my opinion the root zombie is op when it comes to how much blast protection they have. My idea is to make the root zombie have no blast protection after there are 5 people infected. This will cut the rage in half, and it will encourage donating for the ray gun.

    Root zombies have much blast protection because of player's tendency to go spawn-camp him/her with Rayguns or Crossbows. It's a feature which tries to balance out each side.

    No roots need the protection even after 5 ppl are infected.
    The zombies need someone to kill a big part of the campers so the zombies can win the game.

    Infection is an xp farm as it is. Making the root less powerful would decrease the chances of the zombies accomplishing anything.

    The most wiser tactic to use as a root zombie = hide behind a corner and wait for the players to come to you, come out by surprise and take out as many as you can.

    The blast protection will never be taken out because of the donors with ray guns spawn camping every time.

    I agree that the root should get a buff! Maybe the root can have a tomahawk until 10 people are infected :v

    Roots need to be op so they can infect other players. It's hard to do that when players are aiming skullcrushers, miniguns, isos, and ray-guns at you. I'm sry, but roots won't be nerfed.

    It's literally impossible to win in infected as a normal zombie, unless you have stealth on your side. Or maybe C4, but whatever.
    The root needs the blast resistance to stand a chance of surviving. Rayguns are already OP as they are at the moment. If you shoot the root with a gun, they still take normal damage, so do that.

    Root zombies have 100% health, but they die slower because of a protection buff. I do not believe that it is necessary to nerf or buff root zombies, as they are fine as they currently are.

    You can just simply shoot root zombie with Python. It is around 2-5 hits depending on armor and protection. There's no point into nerfing that thing, I might make a thread about reforming infect.

    Just blast protection, I think. They seem just as vulnerable to everything else.
