Unbalanced Characters
The game is so unbalanced it makes it annoying to play. Just off the top of my head, these are the imbalances I have seen. There is no exploding/self-destruct sequence for plants (Oak tree) like th...
@AWMaxSterling I imagine that BfN will have one of the same issues that I noticed in GW2; a larger number of younger children playing because of the amusing and cartoony presentation.
So it's probably less that you're playing with dummies and more that you're in a match with a certain percentage of younger kids. The older ones of them can be pretty good and team focused but not all of them are- many will just mainly bumble around because the game looks inviting and those ones will likely not even grasp all the controls and abilities let alone the teamwork and tactical aspects of certain modes.
Getting populated by a certain percentage of players who are probably not quite old enough is something that happens when a game is designed in such a brightly-colored, whimsical fashion that it attracts the attention of a younger audience.
I also have to add that the entire idea of this franchise is to be unbalanced. Its the crazy things that emerge from all the differences.
What people mostly complain about is when a character severely outperforms all others. Which then contradicts the asymmetrical design and turns PvP matches more into predictable scenarios with the same character being picked.
I have no idea how Popcap manages the player distribution in the background, but i hope its not based on level. If anything i would start at ensuring groups are equal on teams and go from there.
In the end it does not matter how old you are, but a team of people just derping around because they got their attention elsewhere will underperform no matter what.
