In all seriousness though, it's a bizarre decision to release a zombie without a new plant at the same time.
This is the truth in most cases but I always tell people I got decent at shooters when I used to play by myself in a 2 v 1 (with two of my fellow clannies) in Capture The Flag. I think I only ever captured their flag ONE time but they both used KBM (keyboard/mouse) and I was at a supreme disadvantage.
Eventually, I became skilled enough to end these practices in a 0-0 gridlock but had I not got my butt WHOOPED playing others FAR SUPERIOR to myself, I would (no doubt) have a fraction of the experience/skill I have today.
I also went through a phase of playing a dueler (1v1) every single day for MONTHS. Let me be perfectly clear - I LOATHED dueling but my buddy was nice enough (and skilled as he came to PS3 from the legit competitive PC crowd) when he beat me, I didn’t mind and in fact came to expect him to slaughter me (15-1, 15-2 and that’s if I was lucky).
I know this post is tangential but the point is you can never truly become better or live to your potential, if you’re not exposed to elite competition/don’t truly push yourself.
I remember the ONE flag I scored against my buddies and the ONE time/game I beat that dueler (15-14) as some of my proudest moments gaming.
Sorry to ramble. The point is by playing against the right type of skilled competition, you can become better than playing on lopsided/winning teams every game and I’ve never understood why people don’t challenge themselves more.
My last year-18 months of GW2 was spent playing against impossible odds 90% of the time.
