Team stacking , balancing

Guys I like to play the game but its frustrating how the balancing is done, sometimes a guy keeps playing in one team forever, sometimes a team of 4 players stack together in a team like a clan and its imposible to win. Why can not mix players reandomly and do no allow to change teams.

    You can join the other team only if your team isn't down players already.  (Atleast it used to be this way)

    Friends play together, there is even a joining mechanic through Origin Friends List so you can get in the same game.  (I don't think it's always the same team but you can switch as above).

    It's been awhile since I played but yeah you are right it was usually Plants shut them down... or zombies roll through like tanks.  Sometimes you get a pretty good neck-neck race though.

    I think it's just the way it is.  If you forced friends to play on opposite teams or had no methods of changing teams.. that'd upset even more people.

    The game needs a balance update. The Plants are so weak and the zombies are so strong. All the zombies have scape skills and the Plants just 2 characters with scape skills. Potted plants are weak and they are in a few places. The zombies can evoke many coffin/bathroom/barrel zombies that are extremely difficult to kill, making the Garden defense impossible since there are somany evoked zombies and zombies players. Once in a game, had 12 zombies in the garden, absurd. Oh, there is also the problem that there are always more people playing on the zombies team than Plants team. I have seen difference of 5 more people to the zombies, there should be a system that would prevent this.

    The plants are not weak, you just don't know how to play with them. The problem with this game is the sorry team balancing. No autobalance whatsoever and the players are free to switch teams wherever as long as there is a free slot on the opposite team.

    End result, a zombie team (although I've seen it happening with plants too) ends loaded to the brim with super high end players pitted against a plants team loaded with low level players which inevitably end quitting, with due reason. And since game does not autobalance or anything, ends being a deserted plants team against a fully loaded and OP zombie team.

    The truth is, I've grown bored of dealing with this and now whenever this incident happens I just quit the game, it gets boring as heck.

    Game balance is broken half the time,

    Everyone experienced switches to the winning team. Those who cannot switch idle until they can. Game ends up quickly and boring for both sides.
