I have been playing plants vs zombie heroes since October, 2016 but I won’t play anymore because since Galactic Gardens it’s very difficult to win with a Zombie deck. I have all the zombie Legendary cards (x4) but despite of this Zombie decks are so weak now.Galactic Gardens should be renamed to Galactic Graveyards for zombies.

I don't know why many players keep complaining about Zombie decks being too weak. I have all the heroes and like to switch between both sides to try new strategies - and I think both Plants and Zombies are pretty much equal.I got to Ultimate League using 4 decks in rotation: Solar Flares, Night Cap, Impfinity and Prof. Brainstorm and I found they are all strong in their own ways. So I think the problem is your strategy, maybe you need to make some changes to have a better synergy between cards.Good luck!

i've had no issues winning as zombies, but you do need to understand that the "meta" changes over time

I had 50 in the first season, it was very easy, zombies decks were the best. After Galatic Gardens you start in level 30, but zombies decks sucks now! They are so weak. I only win 1 of each 6 matches. Believe me. All zombies heores are so weak. I have all the legendary cards (x4) but I make changes and changes and they don't work anymore. If EA games don't do anything I will left the game.Plants decks are so powerful right now.

Try to win with a zombie deck right now, DON'T PLAY anymore with a plant deck and you will see what I am talking. Play 15 matches with a zombie deck and tell me how many matches you win.

I HATE this game after the Galactic Gardens update! Before it I had a good win-lose ratio (mostly playing with zombies), Now I maybe win 1 match in 5-6, no matter if I play with zombies or plants. I don't understand why. I'm really close to quit playing, because every time I need to earn new 150 tickets, I lose an hour or two just to get it. I don't have so much spare time. Lately I have a feeling I spend half of my day on PVZ heroes. And I only play to get event cards and to earn quest gems. :/

Why Zombies decks are so weak after Galactic Gardens?

There are quite a few players that would disagree, though I know it can be frustrating. What rank were you in S1 and how far have you made it in S2? It's a time crunch this time around with only 5 weeks to get up to Ultimate. While Event cards are slowly changing the dynamics of decks, Galactic definitely overhauled them. Maybe you just need some help with a deck or two? Hate to see you go, but if it's not fun anymore...

I've always been a Zombie main since I started playing this game, and I disagree with you.

I reached Ultimate League for the first time on this season with a Zombie control deck, so they are definitely not weak.

I can't disagree though, that the plants got many insane cards, but that doesn't mean that the zombies didn't got pretty nice cards too. (Like Alien Ooze and Triplication).

I will leave you the link for the deck I used, in case you are interested.

Maybe you decks need some adjustments my friend.

I find it hard to believe since I've always had a decent win ratio, no matter on which side I play.

Send me a list/photo of your deck so I can give you some feedback.

I'm finding that there are acutally a lot of good cards for Zombies that are better than Legendary, or shall I say they have better synergy for my selected deck. Don't be putting Legendaries into your deck just because they are Legendaries. I've had pretty good luck running a modified Neptuna Grave Danger. It's just about finding what works for your play style. There will be learning curves. Also, you can earn the 150 tickets playing casual where I normally find it a little less daunting, both psychologically as well as opponent player skill usually.
