The Computer cheats!

I was playing the daily challenge, I was down to six health, the computer had a regular rooster and another zombie with 6 strength and 2 health. I blocked the rooster and got -1/-1 to all zombies on the ground, so I should have survived after using the -1/-1 since my health was 6, but all of a sudden, my health was 5, even though I blocked!

  • And just now I played a ranked game, and my zombot shark won the game for me, but why didn’t my other zombie kill the pea plant first? And even if it hadn’t killed the pea plant, the zombot shark should have. Sorry, I know it’s hard to see, but that’s the best shot I could get.

    That challenge was a joke. That's all I am going to say about it cuz I will blow a gasket if I get started with it.
    I will say though....between last Saturday and this one, they are making it easier for me to not play this game, I am way too...disgusted is probably the best word to describe, after attempting the challenge and then have an hour till the next try, well I used to play that hour away in multiplayer mode or do a few missions but now....basically the same thing as what I assume the "rage quitting" is like...after losing this attempt, and meh, I will try later...ish.
    I enjoy challenging games, or challenges. But these are neither. It doesn't feel like a game, more like a hustle. Some of these are hard enough to win because of the random factor, but these are already stacked against you.
    I didn't have one time that I played something in front of the rooster that is in play where it doesn't kill my mushroom. Where's the random in that? Only in the not always being able to play something there.

    And then there will be some guy who killed three roosters on ground with that -1/-1 supertrick....such a crock, but I am not going to get worked up over it, I have enough stress in my life right now that the spit in your face Saturday challenge is only making me feel less like playing, instead of chapped.
  • Those are very strange indeed if they played out the way you said they did. There are too many variables to give you answers though. Are you sure there was no team up in front of that pea plant?  I haven’t experienced any situation where I thought the computer was “cheating” myself.

    No, nothing in front. I played the 7 brain trick that turns zombies into zombies worth 5 brains or more, and there were only 2 plants in lanes (one on heights) the plant player could not block, and if you look at the zombie shark you can see his health was +1 for destroying the one plant.

  • Sometimes I see Wall Knight use twice its power to cover him, It's one of the weird things I've seen around, I suppose these mistakes often occur :S

  • This is another of those of those weird ocassions when I did the challenge first time..cards were right for me in my initial opening hand. There is a lot wrong with this game, and some who play it using methods to win at it making it a game that is not worth playing for the grief it causes. It is suppose to be fun, light hearted, but when this bad stuff happens and it's allowed it is not fun.
