Have to wait too too long to play as zombie in ranked vs mode these days

Hello PopCap Games,

How about making a rule so that players are required to play same number of games as zombies and as plants in versus mode?

Some players think zombies are stronger and some players think plants are just as strong as zombies. According to my experience I could win games a lot more easily if I used zombie cards but I wouldn't complain if I  am allowed to choose plants or zombies cards. Luckily, I can choose the sides in this game BUT unfortunately recently if I choose zombie heroes, I cannot find any plants opponents!! Even after waiting 10 minutes for a plant player to enter the game in Ranked vs mode, no one is joining the game!! Is this Bug? Or is it because every players think plant cards are too weak compared to the zombie cards? If players are required to play equal number of games as plants as zombies then this problem will go away, I guess... 

I'm in ultimate league 60 stars, is this the reason why this is happening? Do most good players think zombie cards are way stronger than plants cards?

    Hey @ozwave2014

    It may be because of your rank if others at a similar rank are playing zombies too.

    Do you get a quicker match if you play as plants?

    Hello Andy,

    About a week ago,

    If I select a zombie hero and play the VS ranked match, I had to wait at least 1 minute. Sometimes after waiting for more than 15 minutes, nobody came for the match.
    If I select a plants hero and play the VS ranked match, a zombie hero player normally come for the match within 5 seconds.

    Today,
    If I select a zombie hero and play the VS ranked match, I have to wait about 30 seconds ~ 50 seconds on average. A lot better than before.
    If I select a plants hero and play the VS ranked match, a zombie hero player normally come for the match within 5 seconds.

    Still, playing as a zombie hero requires longer waiting time. Yes, I guess it is because of my rank - the players with higher rank prefer to play as a zombie hero...

    Many players on this forum already complained about the fact that zombie cards are stronger than the plants cards and I really agree. Especially considering the fact that ALL imps can be DEADLY by using 'Toxic Waste Imp' (this one can even hide on the water lane) & Super Brain hero's ability, What's the point of buying hundreds of packs and having legendary cards such as Soul Patch, Bananasaurus or 3 headed chomper? A very cheap card such as 'Imp' card that only cost 1 brain can kill all legendary plants by 1 hit after becoming deadly. And not to mention those spray & chicken cards which can kill 5 or more plants with low attack or life at once.

    Yes, I can still win using Plant hero cards and I have won quite many times using my Chompzilla deck - that contains 4 Bananasaurus Rex, 3 Doubled Mint, 2 Three-Headed Chomper, Cornucopia and Espresso Fiesta and also all other good buffing cards for Banasaurus Rexes... explains how much money I have spent for buying packs, ha ha...

    But I still think my zombie hero cards are way more stronger than the plants cards.  Using freezing cards (using Smarty decks) and Re-Peat Moss to do bonus attacks to win the game require significant amount of luck.

    Can somebody please fix this problem? In Ranked Versus mode I still need to wait for more than 3 minites in order to play as a zombie hero while plant hero waiting time is only about 5 seconds.

    Don't tell me to play against AI or play the casual match, I'm done with the AI versus mode and me and most other players who spent real money to buy pack of cards didn't buy the pack to play against AI but against other players and get some kind of rewards - higher ranks, gems etc.

    Let me put it this way,

    I have spent more than $500 for buying card packs.

    If someone goes to restaurant and pay $20 for the dinner he should get the meal otherwise he should get his money back.

    I have spent around $500 or more for buying cards and $250 of it has been spent for buying the zombie card packs. If I spent $250 for buying zombie cards then I do deserve to play those cards in the versus mode otherwise I deserve to get my money back, am I not right?

    Please tell game developers to do something so that I can use the zombie cards that I have purchased. Making a new rule so that all players has to play equal number of games as a plant and as a zombie hero can solve the problem, or giving a more reward to players who won the game using plant heroes eg. +1 to the rank.
