Balancing is a disaster.
Popcap, your game is STILL broken. Teams are stacked with overpowered characters pretty much 90% of the time. Frozen Citron, BBQ Corn, Yeti Chomper...
And it's mostly the Plant team. What's up wit...
Forum Discussion
few characters you missed
iron citron: hit box is broken
scuba solider: overpowered
takes 60 damage with 2 bullets with the damage upgrade while the tank commander takes 70 with the damage upgrade
druid rose: under powered
needs 35 bullets (rebuff)
Things I don't agree with
hot rod chomper: overpowered:
speed should be slightly reduced
lil drake: under powered
he has fire and is very strong at close range
All Imp Mechs: Overpowered and Underpowered
no their health should stay a pylon mech with 350 is too much because its fast, lil drake mech with the shield is unstoppable, and the meches already take like 10 with 1 bullet and shoot fast.
captain sharkbite: underpowered
he is still strong he has a fast rate of fire and only wastes 1 bullet at close range.
I think this game is in a great place in term of character balance and honestly @FelipeGames2000 has covered this more thoroughly and from an objective point of view. Essentially the original poster comes in and names three plant classes that he finds overpowered in some way and demands nerfs. He then proceeds to name I believe almost every zombie in the game 90% of which he thinks are under powered. He doesn't care to mention plants that are struggling or need help. Clearly the OP isn't objective and prefers zombies over plants. I would take what he says with a grain of salt.
The real problem with the game right now is Turf Takeover map balance.
I'm only doing my best to balance the characters.
the Jeremy_823-not sure which poster you were referring to but Superjesse124 named around 12 PLANTS who he thought were underpowered and needed buffs. He went through a thorough list of both plants and zombies and called out buffs AND nerfs on both sides. He made some excellent points and is right on the money from what I see. I am an original PVZ GW1 player from day one and I definitely see where there are more character adjustments that need to be made.
@PurpleKudzu423, you came to the party late. He modified the post after I called him out.
Not only that he just added a few more plants that he thought were overpowered a even fewer that he thought we underpowered. I mean look at the detail he goes into with the zombies. Remember he had like 3 or 4 plants when he made the post. Then I call him out and he half-heartedly adds a few plants. I honestly think the original poster only plays zombies or plays zombies most of the time and laments the time he is stuck on team plant.
The game balance isn't perfect but I feel its in a great place.
Turf Takeover - doesn't really matter what team you are, if you are defending the odds are heavily in your favor. The only exception to this is moon base Z which is the most balanced of all TT maps. Zombies stand no chance on seeds of time and plants stand no chance on zomburbia. (by no chance" I mean slim chance)
Suburbination - Zombies win slightly more than plants when I play, I would say the zombies more aggressive skill set helps out a lot in this mode (especially imp punt)
Gnome Bomb - I would say plants win more than zombies in the mode and I'm not sure why. May come down to abilities and being able to setup a good bit of defenses that are set and forget. (they can leave the gnome with spud mines, tall nuts, chilli bean bombs, etc in place and leave area to explode).
