Zombies are not Balanced
Zombies are not balanced(...again). There is so much to talk about I don't even know where to start. They are way stronger than the plants. I was on something around a 7 to 8 game loss streak as the ...

Hey guys!
F...k this *!
The Chickening? This is serious not an imbalance?
Weed Spray? This is not an imbalance?
Reception after the plant running - this is not an imbalance?
When you build a defense, the opponent gives you The Chickening. OK. You built a defense three times again and again you get The Chickening. The majority of the plants at the start have or 2 HP or 2 damage. They die all.
Zombies almost all have a stronger ability.
Zombies have a lot of total destruction techniques. Why do plants do not have such methods?
Why zombies card 1/1 with Deadly ability can destroy the character 10/10? Where is the balance?
Zombie cards must be more expensive or be significantly weaker.
haha, mass removal is a big part of all card games. i remember when i first faced it years ago, and was pissed as you. but it is an integral part of the game. if anything the mass removal in this game is quite weak because most of it is conditional, except the 9 costed creature but you know it costs 9 🙂
either way i think plants are very very strong, once i got to rank 35 it is a lot easier to win with them than with the zombies.
Disclaimer: THIS IS 100% OPINION
From a veteran CCG perspective, plants are A LOT stronger than zombies right now. The lower tier is still filled with players obviously new to CCG, so I can't even tell, but so far i am 8-0 as plants vs people ranked in league 30+ (i am still in silver, just hit rank 12, doing too many hero quests in campaign mode). I am around 50% vs rank 30+ as zombies, because it is really hard to respond as zombies.
Here are some common plant mistakes I see when I play as zombie in lower tiers:
1. Plant players fail to take advantage of is the fact that zombie players can't combo their creatures with tricks, so anything without a gravestone should die.
2. Don't play anything with 2 attack. If i am a zombie player, and the plant player just plotted down a 2 attack? I would be ecstatic, I let you have free swing at me as much as you want, especially if I am THE SMASH. PLEASE CHARGE MY METER. The super powers are ridiculously OP, I want to collect as many as possible in a game.
3. Playing a naked 1 sun for 1/1. Just trust me, don't do it, just don't.
4. Trying to overload the board as much as possible, overextending like crazy. Taking damage early will actually help. The only Aggro plant hero, Nightcap, is SOOOOO BAD, because you just charge up block meter.
My opinion on weed spray:
In the way this game is build, it is a SUPER techie card. analyzing the plant decks, there is no point in plants playing a lot of low attackers, if they do, it is used to trade for zombies to minimize early damage while still charge up block meter. Too situational, I as a zombie would only 1x or 2x, unless I know 100% that my next opponent is nightcap.
My power tier?
Chompzilla - WHOA!!!!! You get this guy for free? Why would anyone ever play zombie tier.
1. Early game removal AND late game removal? WHAT!!?? (mallet, squash, lawnmower, just take your pick)
2. Heal, so you can get all the super power you want
3. The most card draw in the game (sage sage, AND Flourish)
4. has access to some of the biggest creature in the game (I mean one time I dropped a 16/16 pepper MD, it got killed, and then I made a 10/10 pepper MD 2 turns later).
This guy definitely needs to be toned down a little, i think I lost 1 game so far with him, and that was with literally the worst possible draws (like bottom 1% worst draw).
Since Hearthstone is the prolly most popular CCG right now, I will use that as an analogy (doubt a lot of ppl play stuff like magic, shadowverse, duelyst, hex etc.). Chompzilla has removal like a priest (power word pain + powerword death), drops big creatures like a druid (also ramps like one), and draws card like zoo.
- Easier to play/more straight forward? Sure, but easier =/= better.
No sides have balanced synergies right now. Soooo, both sides aren't balanced.
There's a lot of unbalanced OP decks like Healing, Pets, Sports and Clique Peas.
It's not like this game will ever be balanced by a whacky thinking company.- @OldSchool9210 in a sense... But in the end it comes down to two things, luck and player skill/knowledge/experience. Given the right circumstances and any decent card can become overpowering.
