Wizard as a concept is stupid, just like SB and BB (Zombie Superiority)
Honestly, I've been feeling the need to post about this for a long time, even if people might disagree.
Wizard as a concept is stupid, just like Steam Blaster and Gameium Crasher.
People always argue that the plants aren't weaker, because they have Snapdragon, Peashooter and Sunflower.
This simply misses the point.
The zombies also have strong characters (moe so than the plants), with the most important difference being versatility.
People hate on Peashooter, because he has a strong primary and good, versatile abilities. He has a bomb with good range and can pogo-pea.
But: Nearly all zombie have much greater versatility with options the plants don't even have.
And don't forget Soldier when talking about Peashooter and / or Corn. Soldier has a rapid fire upgrade. Why? ZPG has a way too big hitbox and deals 50 splash damage, just in case the already massive hit box of the projectile fails you. Stink cloud cancels many abilities. I know Peashooter can be better than Soldier in many ways, but Soldier can still melt through most plants in seconds. Corn has to use butter beacon to be acceptable in damage output.
Wizard can add a lot of firepower to any zombie, even bosses!He can board fully loaded space stations. He can gain abilities like warp by boarding a Scientist. There is no such crazy powerful combo for plants with so much versatility. He can counter every plant ability for not just himself, but large groups of zombies using his Elixir. And then there is Spell-Disaster, well, the literal disaster. 6 homing over 9000 orbs that deal 80 damage each.He has a crazy precise, high damage primary.
Steam Blaster adds a tonne of damage to a character that has 3 warps, self heal, as well as the ability to heal large groups. Need I say more? People like to argue that he (now) is balanced, considering the low ammo and long reload time, but that simply isn't the case. The versatility alone makes him crazy powerful. There isn't a plant equivalent, like with every other thing I'm mentioning here. He can melt multiple plants by suing his primary twice and then warp away to heal himself and reload in peace. You will never encounter the "downsides" that are supposed to balance him.
Gameium Crasher, umm Brainless Smahser, ah I mean Brainium Basher. I don't think I need to say much, everyone knows by now. And even in this case half of the community was arguing he is balanced by saying stuff like "high risk high reward". No. Just no.
Engineer. Even if he will be nerfed in todays patch (which we don't know that he will), it took them the game's entire lifetime to fix. He can camp using turret. His turret gives every zombie in range a huge boost, making them never have to reload and having a crazy dps. Once he is hit he can fly across the map, never giving you a chance to hit him once. And no, I'm not talking about Brainium basher. He has his weird boost pad and crazy good jump height. He can cover absurd distances in seconds. Now add all of his speed upgrades like hard target to the equation. And we haven't even considered his mega op primary that can cover half of the map and has way too good damage.
Citron: Evyone cries Citron is op. While I agree, remember there are zombies that can do the exact sam thing (except the shield), but better. Engineer can stun people for too long and cancel Burrow, as well as other abilities, making him win every 1v1 or even 1v2. Citron Dash has an annoyingly long start animation, while All Star can do it a bit quicker and has Imp Punt that can insta kill low health classes.
The Oak and Acorn combo remains way too bad compared to Space Station. Space station can grill the entire plant team with Cratermaker upgrades. I cover this in detail in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Space-Station-is-way-better-than-Oak-Zombie-superiority-remains/m-p/9443478#M25958
Nightcap was nerfed into the ground update after update without a reason
While Pirate and Cactus are very similar, the Parrot is way better than the garlic drone.
Rose and Electric Slide: The self heal capabilities of Rose were nerfed into the ground because of community feedback after like 2 months, but Electric slide remains op to this date. Outta Fight! reloads way too quickly, makes her completely invincible and make her completely regenerate using Defibrillated. Her primary was buffed to be too strong, is ultra precise and can hit multiple target, as well as stunning them.
Super Brainz can insta kill multiple plants using Jump+Twister combo, but people still complain about CHomper. Burrow is a suicide ability and Goop had to be buffed, because SB's abilities are better. I know many disagree with this point, but I have talked about this in detail in other threads and don't want to write it again.
Scientist is just better than sunflower in most ways. I have also compared Sunflower and Scientist in detail before, so I'll skip it here.
