Also, those arguing that "ticker just got a buff, it doesn't need a nerf": That's what game balancing is about. Ticker just received a significant buff: one that just turned it into one of the deadliest zombies (considerable health, speed, instant kill, radiation effect). The buff has turned a support zombie into one that can be used both for support and offensively. Balancing means that when you add something game-changing like that, you also take away something small to balance it out. This means a slight reduction in health, or stamina, or damage, or etc. I believe that's what this thread is proposing (even though I believe the nerfs in the OP are too drastic) you do realize that it's a trapper? and there are many ways to avoid getting killed by it. Don't stay in tight areas, and unless you have horrible reaction time, dodge it. it's pretty simple.
