Hello,
Love Lobbers are back now. They are as worse as usual. Bugged Anti Air Trap against their Projectiles (they work totally fine against Wasp Hive Lobber) in being very unreliable against Love Lober Projectiles. Perking them for Range helps a bit, as well as placing them near the Love Lobbers, so they can intercept them quicker.
Also, Defenders take Damage from them, which isn't the case for Wasp Hive Lobbers. They have no AI to avoid them, so Epic just made them invulnerable to the Wasp Nest Lobbers. However, in this Case, you need to be careful that your Defenders are in a safe spot.
Also, their Projectiles are indestructible after landing, which makes them even worse, as well as the Stacking Damage. Both things aren't the Case for Wasp Hive Lobbers.
Why does this happen every Year? Love Lobbers are OP while Wasp Hive Lobbers aren't. I mean, they could make a Cosmetic only change like with Splooders and Smashers during Winter Event. Splooders throw Presents instead of Propane, but the way they work is still the same.
