Its high health didn't mean anything when people can pop easy headshots on a ticker. Now its fun to play. I do think there should be a max of 3 it can kill per explosion because alot of times when I use it I can kill a boat load of people now. Before its buff I always resetted whenever I got ticker for a conventional zombie that did 30 damage and could sprint. im  sorry noob but

ticker is   anti  camping + its able to the dab do serious damage with rad in one min I wouldn't say i'm a noob. I'm rank 45. I have killed people with it before but it takes alot of effort. What I did before the buff was go around survivors in circles and just let the radiation eat away at their health. Playing that way is boring and take forever to kill them though. Getting in close just allows survivors to punch you and knock you down. I guess you could say its anti-camping but what if the campers are wearing bulldozer which has radiation resistance? What if no one in the server is camping? If they're not wearing bulldozer then the radiation damage is still weak. Its better to reset for a normal zombie that does 30 damage and can sprint or a digger that can ambush the campers from underground.

The ticker finally does its job in taking care of campers. He can now run towards survivors clumped together, behind walls, and take five of them down with him. He couldn't do that before. He even leaves a radiation pile behind whereas before his tank had to explode from being shot to leave it behind. His utility was extremely limited before. If he was actually good then PR would not have given him the serious buff.
