PvZ Heroes December Balance Change Feedback

I figured I'd start a thread or forum in regard to the balance change, as it appears there's a ton of issues with the balance change, but it's also been received well as it's a "content" update to a game that's not been updated content-wise in years.

As a non-competitive PvZH player (been playing casually for over a year) I am not a fan of this update because it appears to have increased the divide between plants and zombies; based on the changelogs seen here (Plants Vs Zombies: Heroes Balance Update for December 2024), plants got the short end of changes with zombies getting a larger number of buffs. While an update is good, this update seemingly was done in a poor manner as it introduced bugs that likely would've popped up with a little bit of texting (ie winter melon self-freezing and nurse gargantuan healing from your hand). I'm hoping there's some major fixes and adjustments within the coming days, but until then I'm not likely going to update the game.

There're my thoughts, feel free to disagree or add onto anything to what I said and please leave your own feedback! I believe it's important to point out that it's important to acknowledge there is issues with the update bug/glitch wise, as if we only highlight the good stuff none of the "bad" stuff will get fixed.

On a separate note, is there any full changelogs anywhere? From the sounds of things, the one on EA's website is missing stuff and is "error ridden".

    Please revert the fig, and sunstrike changes.

    Why did you remove cool cards from the game basically?

  • The sad thing is with no updates for years then a broken re-balance we can’t expect any adjustments after the brief flurry of bug patches.  

    Quarterly Bonus is still 4x stronger than Plant Food does not read as written. 


    Gargantuans are now game-over unbalanced. 

    At reset I had risen to level 31.  With the December rebalance I clawed my way to 36. Regularly getting stomped by level 13 or 7 zombie opponents. Now the season has reset we get to see how imbalanced it is on the Zombie behalf. 

    it’s un fun. So I guess I’ll find a new distraction.

    The Quarterly Bonus is the worst of all, now i can see every Brainy hero bring it to the deck. It's absurd, and it's only an uncommon card.

    @2666f6387a9cadb3 I'm really sad that the pvz team still ignore the bug. It's tough to play as Plant Hero anymore. Sometimes I really wonder if the new team played as the Zombie and felt zombies need to be overwhelming plants? What kind of balance it is?
  • Untrickable armored frenzy All star zombie combined with the unfixed quarterly bonus is totally broken.  Wrecked the game. Unplayable.

    Actually Quarterly Bonus with anything is broken. Especially Frenzy. But +4 auto attack. That cheap. On the trick phase so no chance to resist or heal. Ends the game every time. 

    wish they had play tested the changes before they dumped them out.

    Hello, devs! We are in january and we still have a lot of bugs and problems. I played a little and listed some remaining problems:

    - Descriptions outdated: Solar Flare superpower, Bean Counter, Mime Gargantuar, Octo Zombie, Wizard Gargantuar.

    - Nurse Gargantuar: doesn't work when played by us (but it works when played by IA)

    - Quarterly Bonus actually makes a zombie gains +4 strength rather than be changed to 4 strength as describe.

    - High G. superpower still make the environments in plant hero's hand cost 1 less; after the update, it also reduce the plant trick cost by 1.

    - Missions doesn't update without entering in battle most of cases: very old bug, but we have to list.

    - Wormhole Gatekeeper: only the cards conjured by it cost 1 less, not all conjured cards.

    - Wannabe hero's healing happens after it gains health, meaning it will still gain health equal to the amount of health your hero had when played.

    - Water balloons doesn’t actually need to target non-amphibious zombies.

    - Unthawed Viking: "when played: freeze all plants here". BUG: It is not freezing.

  • @Skelajon this is a total bust for me. I'm done with this game the new buffs and nerfs to this game were damn sure biased and invalidate the strengths that any of the plant cards did have and now you make it downright impossible for plants to compete with zombies. This * is deleted from my phone and I'm deleting my account. Total * and completely one sided.
  • I just want to say THANK YOU to anyone who works on PVZ Heroes!!! I am so glad for the update and love playing Heroes.  Please keep up the great work and I will immediately buy any and all new cards you make.  Our lives are all better because this game entertains us!

    Thank you!

  • February and no correction. Another problem: when you spend gems to get a new mission 3 hours is added for next mission.
