Plants Suck
Yeah, I feel better in my heart now I've expressed my opinion about this side. It isn't even one class that sucks, it's all of them. Fix Rose Buff Sunflower Fix Chomper Buff Cactus Buff Peashoo...

Well, Plants and Zombies have similar and comparable DPS. Saying things like the Scientist out does the Sunflower in dmg is uninformed opinion. Would you be surprised to know that the base Sunflower and base Scientist both do 40 DPS?....
I'll tell you one area that the Zombies are completely out classed, but for some reason the average plant team rarely capitalizes on it.... The Plants have a LOT more CC. I'm talking like, 3:1. But, Plants just don't seem to use their CC as much, almost like it's an after thought.
That is assuming that you've been able to land your attacks; and it's not an uninformed opinion - I clearly play the game and have over 150+ hours invested. An uninformed opinion is people saying "IMP IS WEAK" or "BUFF IMP" last patch when the issue was clearly the damage output on Rose. An uninformed opinion is giving zombies compensation buffs because 1 character class on plant side was a bit unruly at release. As a veteran player of both healing classes, I can straight-up tell you that the scientist is a Hell of a lot stronger than the Sunflower in upfront damage potential. I can 2 shot a Sunflower up close. She can not do the same to me without: a. risking her own life in combat (therefore completely outplaying me as a Scientist) and potentially getting caught out by my allies, or b. Land every single hit on a Scientist (which is virtually impossible with 1-2 escapes and cover).
What point is there to play the Rose (2 of the 3 sources of utility and "CC" that the plants have) at this point if they nerfed her utility to all Hell?
And again, because I've seen a very valid point in a lot of the posts now; why should plants be forced to play cohesively as a team, whereas the zombies can completely stomp 1v1, in small skirmishes, and as a team? Where is the balance in that?
A Scientist worth his salt will always have a teleport ready to decimate you.
The situation depends on a few things.
If I'm a Sunflower and I see a scientist at range I have a good chance to kill him, however as soon as he knows of my presence and warps in on me, his burst damage is way too strong to out dps. The only chance you have is if the Scientist health is low before entering the fight.
