PvZ Heroes Current state is awful and needs changes soon
PvZ Heroes right now is easily in the worst state it has ever been in period. I love this game a lot, I use to enjoy it so much but now it's just a shadow of its former self for multiple reasons.
Some of the changes are great but others just ruin the game. For example, Galacta Cactus having one health is a good change, Gravitree getting untrickable is a good change, snapdragon got a good buff, cob cannon got a actually reasonable nerf that still makes it great by having 4 attack now, lightning reed got a similar buff too with an extra attack... Transfiguration doesn't change everything now which is good, wild berry hot anti hero now, mayflower has extra hp, Cat lady having 3 health now is more reasonable, zoo keeper got a nice change with more health now, b-flat is better now at 3 cost, Gargantuars have been improved so much this update because they do more and feel more powerful, especially Deep Sea Garg... Gentlemen zombie, Gadget scientist, Electrician, dinoteonic mechasaur are all so much better now with their changes plus they make science decks better, landscaper is better too, mini ninja having 2 attack now instead of 1 without its ability, also alien Ooze and nibble were improved so much, some of these changes are geneuily great.
Some... Aren't. At all. I don't like Tricarrotop's nerf for two reasons, one it's a legendary card and is suppose to be powerful so it should have 3 health and not die to Bungie Plumber, and two I'll get to it but this wouldn't be as big of deal if zombies weren't buffed WAY TOO MUCH. I also don't like how Spikeweed sector costs 3 now, because plant environments are already worse and can easily be replaced to being with. I get it was likely done to buff Ice Pirate but that is stupid, and there's a better way to do it, just give it two extra health instead of nerfing something that was not necessary to nerf. Plus they buffed hot lava to cost nothing so why was that change necessary when it still can be killed in a similar way to a cheaper environment. I think Prickly Pear is extremely annoying now... Blooming Heart and Zapricot got extremely unnecessary nerfs, so did black eyed pea which was the wrong way to nerf it, Venus Flytrap is too weak now, grave robber did not need nerfed, and the one that makes me the most mad is Cakesplosion. IT EVEN SAYS ON THE PATCH NOTES ITS SUPPOSED TO STILL COST 3 BRAINS BUT FOR SOME REASON NOW IT COSTS 4 AGAIN. WHY?!
Some of the awful changes were thankfully reversed, like Photosynthesizer being 2 cost and puff shrooms being 1 cost.... But not all of them. If this was it and nothing else was changed, then the game would be a little worse but nothing entirely bad would be at play. But I'm making this post. The number one problem this update has that NEEDS to be addressed like soon, is... They buffed Zombies WAY TOO MUCH. Not only did some cards that NEEDED nerfed like Cheese Cutter, Gladiator, Zomblob, Black Hole, Dr Spacetime, Space Cowboy, Cyro Yeti. But Pocap went ahead and BUFFED SOME CARDS WAY TOO MUCH AS WELL, and making some other powerful cards get a small slap on the wrist in terms of power. Mustache Waxer and Ducksatche are WAY TOO MUCH NOW, Zomblob as I mentioned early didn't just get nerfed BUT GOT BUFFED, All Star Zombie needs to cost more or lose some stats, because it's WAY TOO MUCH to deal with on turn 5 when it's untrickable, has Armor, 4 attack, Frenzy AND 6 HEALTH. And who can forget to mention the new cards, one of which is the most broken card ever introduced to this game. Quarterly Bonus. This card is EXTREMELY BROKEN. It adds 4 attack to a zombie and makes them do a bonus attack... For 4 Brains only which is like using Captain Combustible's Super and time to shine at the exact same time. And at minimum you're doing 5 damage and multiply that by two if the lane your doing it in is open and the opponent can't block. It can deal with anything. This card is the NUMBER ONE reason why there's no reason to play as plants right now. Unless you have Wingnut in your deck, which you shouldn't be forced to run because of one card, you're chances of losing go up by alot. Let's not forget in this game you can mix cards and create something called a strategy. So you could play all star on turn 5.... Have the plant have no answer to it. And in turn 6 during tricks is has like 9 attack with frenzy so you always hit the plant hero unless you block and there goes 18 damage. You win because there's no way you didn't already do at least 2 damage to the plant hero!
Here are some of the changes that NEED to be made right now because if it's not soon, this game is just going to lose so much interest:
Nerf Quarterly Bonus- Make it two extra attack Instead of 4 or increase the Brain Cost to 6 or 7 instead of 4. That way it's a finisher card like Maniacal Laugh.
Nerf Other Problematic Zombie Cards- Cheese Cutter can just conjure you a Gorument card, it doesn't have to make it cost one less... Make Mustache waxer give one extra health instead of 2, nerf Ducksatche so it at least has one less attack, Make Black Hole cost 2, Give Gladiator 2 health instead of 3, make Dr. Spacetime have 4 health instead of 5, make Space Cowboy do 2 damage instead of 3 since it can already go through 5 lanes anyways, nerf Cryo yeti's base stats a bit too.
Revert stupid changes- This is mainly things like Tricarrotop's extra health, same with Black Eyed Pea, which should just give one extra attack with their abilities instead of also 1 health, give grave robber it's extra health back, because it had counters, Make Spikeweed sector cost 2 again, give Cakesplosion it's 3 cost back, make banana peel cost 1 again, etc.
Actually buff cards that need buffed- Then finally, ACTUALLY BUFF SOME CARDS THAT ARE USELESS. For example, Sea Shroom could cost 1 or have more health, Sour Grapes could be a 4 cost 3/3 that does one damage to each zombie instead of a 2/2, make sow magic beans shuffle two or three magic beanstalks into your deck and draw a card, give Jolly Holly extra health, Maybe Kangaroo Rider could be reworked so instead of it bouncing itself when hurt it's just a high stat card, make cellphone zombie a 2/2, stuff like that.
I really hope things change soon. I've dropped out of the game right now because I'm just so tired of it. And reminder: We got literally no changes for four years straight and I was never tired of it, nor did I need to take a break. I don't know what popcap is doing, but they need to do something quick and keep their promise by nurturing the game like they said.
