Something REALLY annoying
I prefer to play Battlez matchez in Turbo mode but I've been finding that the speed keeps reverting to normal. It seems to happen most often when the Blastronaut Zombies appear and it's really buggin...
I don't generally use turbo unless I'm farming pinatas but i tried L27 10 times and watched really closely and i think the bot drop triggers dropping out of turbo mode.
I have also noticed Laser beans vanishing without reason in this week's tournament so i think either eieio is up to his old tricks again or it's bug city.
If you put one infi nut on column 1 and plantfood it then that'll hold them until your caulipowers can change their minds for a quicker finish.

So it's not just me getting the turbo ceasing when the bots drop on that level. Thanks for doing that test for me.
I had one Battlez match today where it dropped out from Turbo about 5 times in the space of 20 seconds. THAT really p_i_s_s_e_d me off and disrupted my concentration to the point where I lost track of my plant placements and even forgot to deploy a Spearmint when I should have. Fortunately it didn't cost me the match, but I had one of my lowest scores because of it.
I'm also glad you mentioned about Laser Beans vanishing for no apparent reason during Battlez. I'd noticed it on several occasions. I've even had instances where I felt sure I'd planted a bean only to find it wasn't where it should have been. I would assume I failed in placing it and go back to reselect it to try again, only to find it was in the process of building up again. That proved I HAD placed the bean but it disappeared even though there were no zombies close enough to have eaten it. I found it tends to occur most often in column 7, rows 2 and 5. Is that what you've been seeing?
I also had something really weird happen in one match on day two. I suddenly found there was a Bully at column 4, row 4, but none of the plants in columns 5 to 9 in that row had been eaten. It was like it was suddenly just dropped into that position out of nowhere. It was just the one time, but it was most disconcerting to find it right in the middle of the row when nothing else, other than the blastonauts was getting past column 7.
I noticed a lot of caulipowers and shadow peashooters disappearing in a previous tournament but only 2 laser beans so far, in c1 r2 and 5, my starting plants.
I have experienced Turbo mode dropping out in BattleZ and in Modern Day world levels as well.
