The only thing I really agree with is that Lane effect cards should be considered tricks. That way zombies can make them harder to put out by way of def end, and plants like sportacus and black eyed bean can react and make zombies think twice.
The rest of the cards can seen strong if you don't have a counter, but every single hero has cards that can be exceptionally strong given the right situation, or against decks that haven't built in a counter.

- I am not saying this to insult anyone, I am just curious...
How do so many players think zombies have such a distinct advantage?
When I was just starting out in this game I was pretty much balanced in cards and tried to have both plants and zombies with some decent decks. Adter a few weeks of trying to get a game(as a plant hero) on multiplayer, I decided to make a change and concentrated on zombies. And I have no issue any longer to join in a multiplayer game...but I have seen some crazy stuff that people who have a little bit of creativity come up with both as themed decks or ridiculous combos.
One thing I have not yet noticed is difficulty getting games...until I have a gem quest and try playing as a plant.
Now I don't believe for a second that these majority are playing plants because zombies have the advantage and they want a challenge. Say that out loud and I'm pretty sure you have a good laugh.
For all the pineclone/grotto or cliqueys aren't still playing those decks for the challenge, it's because they feel they have a really good chance of winning. And that doesn't make sense to me if zombies are so much better.
Keep in mind that even though I have biases and I don't think some plants are balanced... I don't think that either side has a huge advantage over the other. That would make no sense for the devs to do because they are trying to make a great game not just something to make coin. Obviously that's part of it but having a great game helps in the money depot - Thats true but i insist on these changes only because plants dont have the type of tricks that zombies do, especially when they have a whole phase dedicated to it before the fight begins. If a plant uses a trick it can be counter by zombies during this phase. also the power these trick have are unfair for example:
Camel crossing costs one energy and increases all zombies health by two. The best plants have is photosynthesizer and this increases only one plant.
Brainy zombies have cards like the gentleman zombie, cryo zombie and medula nebulla which can tremendously help the amount of energy they gain to already use these tricks and the fact that they get such low costing heavy hitting tricks makes it unfair. Especially when solar plants only have sunflower plants that increase the amount of sun this is at the start of the next turn and not permanently or the same round. Maybe if they add a card that increase sun permanently by one and not just the hero card or if sunflowers gain one sun that can be carried over the next round then it would be a bit fair. I mean even gravestones give zombies a big advantage because plants wont be able to figure out a strategy to counter a zombie until the next round and by then it might be to late. There is only one plant that reveals whats in a gravestone and another that destroys them but alot more zombies have the gravestone effect and not to mention these zombies have a secondary effect. A good way to counter this would be to give more different type of plants the team up effect. Maybe not the heavy hitters but plants like pea shooters or mushrooms and nuts with weak atk or defense. Also if there is a team up plant they both dont attack at the same time but rather one after the other. But again these are just my opinions but i think they are rather valid.
