AI or Human Opponents - What's worst?
I cannot remember if I have brought this up before, but having just returned from two games of Turf Takeover I find it inherently wrong and extremely frustrating (which is the reason I'm letting off ...

Dark Flower is annoying especially if a good flower player is running amuck with it (really devastating to imp players as it can auto-target them). Luckily if I playing allstar or soldier, I can use their abilities to quickly remove it (smokescreen and a dummy shield do wonders). Aim at the feet for the protected troops as they have lower health then their actual shield. Though the protection becomes problematic when enemies are charging with them as well.
Admittedly you can kill them off quicker when aiming at their feet, but the problem remains in that one still spends far too much time concentrating on them rather than on the attacking players (A fact which you allude to yourself). This means that apart from the bots contributing hugely to the takeover of say a garden by their mere presence - which I find completely unreasonable-, they also, as mentioned, deflect attention from the attacking players which surely defeats the object of a multiplayer game and is one of my pet beefs with this game. It is the main reason why I in Mixed Mode try and avoid playing TT - if I can - without letting the side down.
- This is a tough one. As a plant I can’t count the amount of times I’ve solely had to take out AI because nobody cares to mess with them. They don’t “count”.
As a Zombie it is a strategy when you’re on a team that just doesn’t push. It’s unfortunate.I see yr point. It's is a tough call. And to be frank, I am not completely innocent of their use, as I have lately found myself on TT teams where we were 2 or 3 players fewer than our opponents and where we have used the tougher ones as backup, as we wouldn't have stood much of a chance without them. Particularly when playing as Stuffy Flower with Dark Flower as sidekick gave me a distinct (and quite unfair) advantage.
I suppose one can also argue their use in such circumstances.
