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 and next to useless plants of the week that they are offering up are turning the matches into more of a chore rather than a pleasure?

I have just played 3 matches in the Aloe Tournament. I won all 3, but did not enjoy any of them one tiny bit. 

What in the hell is the point of having Tall Nuts in column 2? No matter what plant, attacking or Aloe for healing, you place in column 1 to protect them, the Tall Nuts will inevitably end up being destroyed and exposing your back position.

How could anyone believe that having repeated entire columns of Zombies appearing via Necromancy in column 3 was a good idea? Assuming players devise a means of disposing of them, all those Zombies are low scoring. If players don't get rid of them their scoring potential is severely compromised because the lawnmowers will be triggered over and over and killing Zombies further up the arena for no points.

I get over that by digging up the Tall Nuts to get the sun from them and replace them with Chard Guards and use Blovers to blow the Zombies away, but the scores from clearing those Zombies is STILL low.

We were told by EA at the outset that every effort should be made to restrict the Zombies to columns 8 and 9, maybe also column 7, to maximize our scores. They then choose to dump large numbers of Zombies in column 3, which is a low scoring zone!!  REALLY!!

I, for one, will not be playing any more Battlez matches until EA stop coming up with these c**p setups and bring back the element of fun.

I read a comment on Youtube from a P vs Z 2 player and video contributer. Their opinion of the Aloe arena was that it's "A mess".  I could think of several more words that would sum it up far better. 👿

    What will it be next week, necromancy in column 2 without infinite lawn mower ??

    ------------------------------------------------

    Maybe columns 2 thru 9 filled up with Dave's spores. No starting sun and no sun producing plants. Then players restricted to only the basic Peashooter while facing up to a tsunami of Gargantuars? 


    I wish you two would stop given EA more ideas unless you want a job in PVZ3 as game level designer then I zip my lips  🤐

    I tried Both caulipower and slectric blueberry in the latest arena and haven't found much difference between them, caulipower L2 costs 250 sun and electric blueberry L6 is 125 but both take about 12 seconds to recharge but i only have 1 slot to spare for either.
    Managed 344,700 last night.

    A tip I stumbled on. If you have the bombgranite set it off in the second column. The tombstones will not come back as long as the seeds from the bombgranite are on top of the squares where they pop up. So I sell the tallnuts to start with for the sun  Then I use 2 of the plant food to use the bombgranite right away. Set it off in the second row second column and the other off in the second column next to the last row. This should give you time to get setup. Personally I am not good with the blover chard guard combo so I use this with the electric pea shooter. I hope it helps

    I tried the spikeweed and the spike rock but they didn't work. Neither did any of the tater bombs.

    LOL.   Being money minded, I would have thought it makes more sense all the plants which are to be used on the water word to be rent-able with certain amount of coins per Battlez..

    @ElAguila64 A good tip, wish I have Bombegranate to try this out.

    Bombegranite used to be far more useful than it is now because the zombies have got tougher in recent weeks and take far greater damage than they do in adventure mode and bombegranite's mini-bombs don't seem to have much effect, even on imps. 👿
