Garlic drone vs parrot

So it seems to me at least that the parrot is better in all ways. The egg bomb hits harder and explodes faster and seems to have a greater range then the garlic equivalent, the hit box seems smaller on the parrot(though I could be imagining that), and the laser seems to overheat slower and hit faster then garlic.

Is it just me or are other people experiencing this also?

  • Now that garlic drone got his fire rate back. The only problem of drone vs parrot right now is that parrot just have more health and maybe parrot airstrike being a tad too fast.

    The primary weapon is mostly the same. Parrot airstrike is faster but garlic drone do far more damage if you place it well. it just the health that matter the most here. Garlic drone are relativily easy to destroy once you know it here but parrot...not so much.

  • The main problem i have with the parrot is the bomb strike. it just instantly drops a ton of bombs down onto you and explodes near instantly. Unless you were already moving when those bombs fell you are basically dead. the corn strikes only drop one at a time with less range. As for which has more damage i can't compare the two since i rarely use them but i can't agree the parrot is far superior mainly because of the added health and its bomb strike

    i think the main problem is his hitbox, sometimes you think you have hitten it... but in the end you didn't.

    Plants team is weak.
    - zen cactus need more damage or splash damage. zen cactus is weaker than shark bite.
    - cactus's drone is weaker than pirate's parrot.
    - citron's primary weapon need more damage or more fire rate.
    - pirate >(stronger than) cactus
    - scientist > sunflower
    - super brains > chomper
    - Plants team is weak, but rose do not need additional balancing.(rose balance is very good)
  • I don't see garlic weaker than parrot. 

    First of all, i personally havemuch more problems to shot down garlic, while killin parrot is not a problem. Garlic much harder to hit if it moves.

    Second. Garlic airstrike is way more powerfull that parrots. Yesterday i used garlic airstrike on BOOT and it just killed everyone who pushed boot in great range. While with parrot i barely kill one enemy, and also i survived parrots strikes without troubles. 

    And the last, cacti has second drone who has more HP, and use weaker but much fater recharging airstrike, that good agains snipers or every standing enemy.

    After the recent patch, the Garlic drone is where it needs to be. I do think the corn strike needs to be changed back to the way it was in GW1. However, I think it is fine the way it is now. The parrot on the other hand needs either the fire rate nerfed or eggsplosion delivery and detonation time extended.

    When you say time extended --   do you mean duration?  Or cooldown?

    I mean the amount of time it takes for it to be delivered and detonate. Extend the time, thus giving the plants a chance to avoid the attack. Similar to Garlic Drone's corn strike, it allows zombies to dodge.
