I got both Zoybean and Dazey Chain, and while Dazey Chain is really bad, Zoybean is super fun and actually kind of decent. Hoping to see where we go with other plants! If Pop Cap would hurry up and show us the appearances of Burnade and Mini Pea ah yes because Mini Peashooter is totally gonna break PVZ2. Mini Peashooter shouldn't even exist No, it should. If a shitty plant like Sun Bean (seriously, fuck that plant) can exist in PvZ 2, Mini Peashooter has the right to be. ftfy Sun Bean can help with levels where you want sun at that moment but your sun producers are recharging (both interms of on the lawn and seed packet). It's even better once boosted and once levelled up. Banana Launcher, on the other hand, sucks in every way. Once you unlock Missile Toe (and you can unlock it even before unlocking any BWB plant since that one is Premium), it can be seen and proven how utterly ass this plant is. Bottomline, fuck this plant. Plus that shitty face that abomination makes. Noooo i actually always liked banana launcher...it was the only decent BWB plant Ok so I was the Banana Launcher guy way back when BWB came out, and even I admit that Banana Launcher is kind of a meme now.

Quotes are fucked so w/e

Banana Launcher was definitely usable, arguably even good when it first came out. It filled a niche that no other plant could claim to fill at the time (nuking the back line, I well as eating Gargs alive, even in high level endless zones), not even Coconut Cannon. For a while, Banana Launcher had a niche. Starwburst came out and that directly hurt Banana Launcher's niche, since Strawburst specializes at nuking everything on the fucking screen, but that still left Banana Launcher with small niche at handling Gargs. If you want proof, check out my Terror from Tomorrow tutorial series, where Banana Launcher was instrumental in helping with Garg Prime levels.

Ever since Missile Toe has come out however, Banana Launcher has admittedly been quite useless. Sure, Banana Launcher works better when using Arma-mint (a very average mint), and it is free (which isn't an upside to me but I guess to some people it is, kind of a moot point I admit), but Missile Toe synergizes with one of the best mints in the game (Winter-mint), and actually effects the lanes to the side of its attack with its slow, meaning that the only time you should ever pick Banana Launcher any more is pretty much either you're going full Arma-mint (which is a shit strategy to begin with anyway), or if you're in an Endless Zone and haven't seen Strawburst or Missile Toe yet.

TL;DR: I agree that Banana Launcher kind of sucks now, but let's not get revisionist and say that BL has always sucked when it has had a niche (albeit an increasingly small one) throughout most of the game's lifespan.
