Personally, I think Zombies may be easier to play. That combined with a lot more people leveled up a lot of Zombie toons (while on Plants a lot leveled up Rose and stuck to that). Plants have a LOT more CC, but, it doesn't seem to be used as often, or all that effectively.
Plants seem like they were designed more for defense, whole Zombies more for offense (which makes sense considering the games origin). It just seems like a LOT of Plants players want to run around and Rambo, looking to due massive dmg, and when it doesn't happen, they complain about being weak. To me, it appears that Plants players need to stick together more, and use their CC more efficiently, because right now, Plants players suck at using their CC on a whole, and it shows.

Zaheen, after 16 wins (14 with plants, 1 with zombies, and 1 loss) I fired up Ark for a bit.
As to looking up the term balance, it depends on your version of balance. Should all toons be balanced against one another, friend and foe? Should every toon have a 50% chance of winning against every other toon? Or, in a TEAM based shooter, should it be more about TEAM balance?
I'm inclined to think it should be more about team balance. But, that's just my opinion, as I'm sure your opinion, regardless of its asinine nature, will vary.
You're the first player in all my time gaming in over 25 years has actually counted how many games they've won and lost, as either side.
Just purely from the fact you've been able to force yourself onto the plant side 95% of the time proves the point here, and again, I'm not talking about one game mode.

Maybe, just maybe a plant player doesn't want to hold hands with 5 others in order to get a kill.
Maybe you should invest in a dictionary and look up the word balance.
As a player who wrecks using both plants and zombies, I can say he's right. I still average 60+ kills on both sides, however, the imbalance becomes apparent when you have players who aren't very skilled playing. You can see the difference in the K/D ratio when rotated.
Then just like him you're missing the point.
I can also get high numbers? That doesn't justify or prove anything to do with game balance. Plants need to be tweaked and given more burst damage across the board.
Why was Scientist given a heal beam?
Surely Sunflower should get Shotgun burst damage and some warp abilities to compensate...
That would be perfect balance, right? Wrong.
Look how they have tried to match the Pirate with the Cactus, why is the Pirate so much better? Cactus had a really nice variant which has been nerfed and well, why use it at all now? Why not just use the Fire Cactus or Camo which does more damage...
Also I'm struggling to see how you can compare the two sides in terms of health as well, when trying to capture a point health makes a massive difference. Chilli bean bomb doesn't do 200 damage, you need Sombrero and that's much slower and gives people chance to move...
Sure everyone could get into Metal Chomper and capture but who does that? Since release I've only ever seen someone use Metal Chomper once!
i know im gonna sound really dumb,but, what does 'CC' mean?
