The Battle of Exploding Heroes (Rant about BBQ Corn and Frozen Citron)

I have to disagree here with the notion that the new Game Mode is packed with BBQ Corn and Frozen Citrons because I was able to play a bit earlier today.

Ignoring for now any claims that Character X or Character Y is over powered perhaps my Multiplayer experience drastically differed from whatever experience prompted you to start this discussion but I saw little, if any, BBQ Corn or Frozen Citron players on the opposite team when I was selected to play on the Zombie side.

What I did in fact see was that on any given round the majority of the Plants Team was made up of Citrons and the Zombie Team was top heavy with Super Brainz and in both cases numerous variants were being played. If I had to say that one Citron variant was being favored over any other I would put forth that I saw more Toxic Citrons together at once than any other type.

Corn and Rose were under-represented on the Plants Team while Pirates were under-represented on the Zombies side with Imps coming in as second least used.

Given the frantic "Kill Or Blow Up" nature of the this weeks Mystery Portal game I can understand why players on both sides gravitated towards the character class with the highest Health but I definitely did not see a ton of BBQ Corn or Frozen Citrons.

So many people are complaining about Corn and Citron, mostly BBQ Corn and Frozen Citron. Do you know how many people use them in a NORMAL game, thanks to how broken they are? At least 3-6 per game.

hey dumb * i see more iron citrons in this mode then ANYTHING else even in the main game i see maybe 1 person using frozen citron or a feww using bbq corn the characters are not broken they were nerfed weeks ago so get over yourself

I saw a lot of people taking advantage of the chance to play the party variants without having to unlock through infinity time.  Or at least that's my assumption on why I saw so many party variants.  And I myself was doing that as well.

BBQ corn and frozen citron? been playing for a few hours and haven't seen such problem. People are using iron citron and toxic brainz more than anything while nobody plays with the pirate or rose.

As for broken? well frozen citron was nerfed and i've never seen a problem with BBQ corn.
For the few hours i've been playing both plants and zombies are winning a equal amount of games so you are just playing with players that don't know how to play with zombies because they've been relying on the op/strong characters since this game has been out possibly because i'm not seeing the problem you are ranting about here. On ps4 btw

I too have been playing for a few hours and do not see this problem.  Yes we are limited to the new heroes on this game mode so you are limited to fewer options.  I see both plants and zombies winning games.  You might have just got into a room with people that play those characters is all.  I love the fact that you cannot just sit in the back and wait for your mech lol you have to actually be getting assists at least to keep from going BOOM that's great.

Imp (specially Z7 imp) say hi.

I will note that I have been persistently freezing while trying to play this mode.  Solid.  No countdown timer.  Xbox One.

My wife and I played some.  She is not at all into mp vs others.  Usually we just play private matches.  But she wanted to try this.  Plants won each time.  And the whole other team was citron every time except for 1 match that apparently had a corn that my wife said she had seen (I never did).  Blowout games.  Not a matter of not hitting or damaging the other players or them being good either.  I played this as a plant myself and was a citron to try it out.  Way too powerful.  But that is just the way it is.  Seriously, it may not be how it always it but for whatever reason I run into these matches.  I played as a corn and the rest of my team was a citron.

I didn't have any glitches when I played. It's true that the plants seem to win more, but it comes down to who you are teamed up with. Good players are simply good players and can vanquish better, but you need a few of them. Not just one or two on the team. Like team vanquish you have to revive to take away a point from the other team. If you die by exploding, it doesn't count towards their 50 vanquish. You have to be vanquish by a player to count.

Oh yeah, just an advise. Don't revive teammates when there's an enemy near by or you're being hit by enemy fire. Get out of there or you'll be an easy vanquish for the other team.
