Have EA lost the plot?
What on Earth is going on with EA? Has nobody told them that playing in Battlez matches is MEANT to be fun for the participants? Don't they realize that these increasingly impossible arena setups...
I partially agree with you on that.
That's right that you have to adapt your strategy and not doing the same think every week, use different plants, etc. That should be the main idea with Battlez.
But the problem is, if you don't have some specific premium plants, high level plants or master a specific combo, you can't really have a good strategy.
Last week there was no suns producing plant but gold bloom was allowed. I'm pretty sure premium players which are using gold bloom every week did not change their strategy at all while player without gold bloom had to. Why allowing gold bloom then ?
For this week, it seems that one of the best strategy (if not the only strategy really optimal) is to use the combo chard guard + blover. Which is not a new combo at all, it had been used before in Battlez as far as I know. So for thoses who master this combo it's not really a new strategy. But for others it is really tricky either you don't use that combo and your strategy is not optimal at all either you have to learn how to use the combo with the perfect timing.

Even massed ranks of caulipowers or electric blueberries didn't have the desired effect.
I now have ONE plant at max level. It's the Electric Blueberry. I hoped that getting it to level 10 would make it better in Battlez. It didn't! It's still pretty useless.
It's a powerful plant, because it gives a kill each time it strikes. However, it's badly let down by it's STILL long refresh, and it's long delay between firing. Another downside is when it selects a target and the target is eliminated before the electric charge hits it. If that happens, which it often does, instead of the Electric Blueberry moving on to a different target it goes back to sleep!!!
If it was like the Caulipower, which DOES move on to hit another target, I would rate it more highly. As it stands at present, regardless of my Electric Blueberry being level 10, I never include it in my load-outs. (It hardly ever makes it into the selection when playing in the various Endless modes either.)
