Plants are definitely OP
I want to start this off saying I am not complaining and I genuinely want to learn so if there is something that I am missing then please educate me. I have been playing this game for awhile and made ...

I can see your point, particularly with the heartichoke + flytrap (it's insane if you let the plant activate that combo)
But plants are not stronger than Zombies. I also play both and I can tell Zombies are equally annoying with right sets of card.
Brainy classes with medulla nebula can make any plants cry in frustration, not to mention when you face grave zombies, they give you headache and nightmares. I myself hate facing sports decks, as they are so tough and have many removal / healing cards, plus the annoying Warlock and going viral combo.
Plants you used as example of OP in fact have low attk and health, so they can be killed quite easily before being buffed or protected. I think plants become strong later in one match, but if you overwhelmed them from the beginning, than Zombie is hands down able to destroy them.
- I agree that there are definitely annoying/op cards, strategies, and mechanics on the zombie side like deadly poison, pogo bouncer, flamenco dancer, gravestones in general, etc. My argument is that since the last rebalance and the addition of the galactic garden set, plants have become noitcably stronger than zombies. I personally can't see how it's not more obvious to people.
I consider myself a pretty savvy player. Whether I am or not I spend a lot of time putting together decks and researching top decks pretty much on a daily basis. And over the past few days I have used just about every deck out there including tried and true decks like Neptuna Gravestone variations and I am stuck at level 41. The only progression I've had this season has been with plants and that's what got me thinking about the current balancing. I honestly have what would seem like worse decks on the plant side and fewer cards unlocked yet I feel like it's cake to progress.
Again I don't want to come across as complaining. If progressing to Ultimate League was my only concern I would just play plants and not waste my time on here. I just feel like someone needed to bring it up since I haven't seen a word about it. Who knows.... maybe I'm just unlucky.Plants and Zombies are fairly balanced, however, it comes down to the decks you use and the playstyle that works for you.
Zombie decks I favour are sports or pet theme or a grave deck that has a lot of control (sumo, landscaper, pogo and MUG to refresh).

- I guess I should say that for all the complexities and different playstyles implemented into this game it has always been surprisingly balanced. But I can also tell a huge swing in favor of plants since they implemented the new set and rebalanced. Almost like an over-correction in response to all the complaints about zombies being overpowered. I can honestly say that there have been points during this games life cycle that I felt zombies were op but now I feel like even generic plant decks can take any zombie deck due low cost synergies. I've seen time and time again recently and it just seems a little crazy to me. And trust I've played all types of zombie decks. Like I said I research strategies and deck builds and test them out before going into competitive and this has been my experience. I've gone from a healthy 70% win-rate on the zombie side (which includes testing decks, and my strong decks that I have a really good feel for) to now 25% win-rate with nothing changing other than the new set and rebalancing. As people have accumulated the galaxy garden set for plants it's just been more and more apparent. Again, I don't claim to be the best ever, I'm not saying that I don't still love this game, and I'm not even that upset because I kind of like the challenge on the zombie side. But I feel like I had share my experience in case others see this too and hopefully to balance out the outcry against zombies that caused the over-correction.
