User blog comment:Brainulator9/PvZ1 plant need in PvZ2/@comment-5792287-20141201113242/@comment-24828059-20141203124125

Let's not forget that spikes make machines explode, helmets can simply be attrackted by Magnets without damaging the zombie's head, Spikerocks on Lily Pad can survive four hits, Starfruit, Flower Pot and Sea-shroom can still be hit by Peashooter/Gatlng Pea Zombie, despite the way they are positioned and many more.

With all of these in mind, I can see Umbrella Leaf being able to deflect the lasers and the bolts. Sure, another counter for those could be introduced, but it would take another seed slot to occupy. All of those could be deflected with the hrlp of one plant.
