Going Viral needs to be nerfed. Or no point in playing this game

Effectively, going viral, with the current buffing that zombies get from stompadon makes the game as @PRIMECUTS mentioned ridiculous. A good game has now become unbalanced. There is no way to deal with the going viral, which teamed with the protection and buffed zombies. Plants, players may as well give up and just be zombies. Then the zombie have no opponents, apart from AI. I know the usual people will come back saying, oh no, its not that bad, blah, blah, blah.. and Plants had it all their way with artichoke, healing.. It was never that bad as it is now.

Blah, blah, blah, blah...

Sorry...couldn't resist.  :D  For the record my main zombie deck doesn't use GV or Stompadon if that brings you any happiness.  It does have QDCs though...

Haven't I seen a forum thread like this before? Or have I seen 2 like this before? Or 3... or 4...

You probably have but I want the massage to get across to the developers. I was no regular user of clique peas but surely if they felt that needed nerfing, the same logic would apply to going viral? As in, not allowing a player enough brains to continually use such a card, or have them supplied non stop in card draw. 

I seriously sly do not see plants as powerful as zombies lately. I have the ultimate heal deck, and that still gets beate. Makes me wonder if those creating the game, play it regularly.  Galactic set was fine for both plants and zombie, colossal to me has taken the balance away. The next set doesn't look much better for plants, but again for zombies looks great. Shame is, that the zombies will run out of opponents, as people will get fed up of having their plants beaten time after time. 

Until now I have not met with Viral Going even once, and i'm plant player, so I suppose I'm one of those so dear Blah Blah Blah user xD.

The problem is in the huge band that complained about Venus Flytrap, they change it, and now they complain that the plants are weak, then they modify Going Viral, and then the forum full of complaints that the zombies are weak. I imagine the developers banging their heads against the wall.

The users that we keep in this forum have seen how a group of users ask for a change, and then they change it, next month there is another group complaining about that change, they say: why did they modify it? now they destroyed the game. They fix it and next month another group new to the same.

in fact I remember perfectly that Clique Peas was going to be reduced before, but they did not, then the rumor spread again, and it was not, until finally in Fossil they were modified, to then all be saddened by weak plants. 🤨

is what bothers me, It's not so easy to design a game like this, and just say fix it and then always be dissatisfied with any change, it's frustrating, I prefer to read suggestions, new plants that can fight better against the previous ones. but I guess this problem is always going to exist.

a suggestion for you @saintlydevilis is that you recommend a change to Viral Going at least, any ideas, I recommend more plants like Black Eyed Pea or Sportacus. but change the current ones I don't like much, it's my way of seeing. 

I don't want to downplay the problem you mention, but I really want that in the future we have no more problems because it was better to leave Viral Going as it is. Similar to Venus Flytrap, now a 4 environment cost for most plants to die in the attempt, with these new zombies so powerful, would we really need that change? but it was done by those innumerable complaints over and over again. if the developers had told us that in the future a Quick Draw would drain our health very fast and we would need VenusFlytrap to recover it, I think it would not have complained so much about VFT. 

I remember @daalnnii saying in september (Before Fossil Update) that this viral going was pretty strong, in his video  '' And everyone says plants are op... '' , when everyone complained that the plants were very strong and VFT needed nerf. nobody paid attention to him, they called him prepotent LOL , and look at the topics now hahaha. now we have to fix this problem with Going Viral 🤨 🤭

Seriously you've not come across anyone using going viral? 😱 Do you play this game much? It's used, quite a bit on sports decks, combine it with protection.. And your plant is a sitting duck. A player using once, on all lanes filled with zombies.. Is bad enough, but no, they use 2 or 3 times..or more to boost the health of their zombies. Add that to the current stompadon buffing.. And well, just hit concede. It saves time. 

Zombies now, have a lot of early game. If they get that hold, then you just can't hit back. I've a wall knight healing deck..which Was thrashed, and I've so much healing in that deck yet that was no good. Ive been using a splash deck with spudow, and that is struggling. I seriously do not want to come here and moan. I just to play and have fun. But this is not fun. Even switching over to be a zombie would give me no fun to play like that. 

Another problem.. Is the fact that the zombies are not limited to their hero's suits.. You can be playing against Super Brains, and find zombies from hearty class. Or the fact that zombies also get super powers from other heroes. Plants are getting a raw deal, we can do double attacks like going viral, unless you've coffee beans environment. But the going viral can't be removed, by changing an environment.. 

maybe, it's the deck I'm using - that is being matched with these decks.. But then, it's suppose to be random.. Just like card draw.. 🤔 Nope, I don't think so.. 

But zombies are getting them from dr space time, conjure imp garg and zombie, the protection card, cheese man. The cards they get, are ridiculous. 

Ive Spring bean, and jumping bean. I don't have rose as a hero, and I've not got sparks, or gems to get jelly bean, or the rest of the necessaries for bean deck. My decks, are mainly made from wall knight, spudow, solar flare.
