1. Why should there be changes?

2. Why can't it just be a permanent thing that you place and forget?

3. Why should it lose leaves like Chard Guard?

4. Why should it cost enormous amounts of sun?

5. Why should it be a questionable plant to be used?

6. What necessity is there to even cripple Umbrella Leaf like this? This isn't nerfing a plant, this is making a plant an abominable, paralysed, broken mess. While I agree with you Goldmann that the changes Мит бой suggested are way too extreme and would make Umbrella Leaf just useless, I can see some reason for them to say it.

The first game had a problem, (at least I considered it a problem), that the secong one doesn't. In PvZ you had plants that were specifically made to counter zombies and nothing else, they didn't really serve any other purposes. Cactus for example, was made just to counter Balloon zombie and was useless otherwise, Umbrella Leaf was made to counter Bungee zombies and Catapult zombies and nothing else, and I think that that's bad design, having a plant that you can just place in the lawn and completely nulify a zombie so they don't pose a threat anymore.

To me plants should help you against zombies and their attacks, not completely counter them so you can just plant a certain plant and forget about a certain zombie for the rest of the level.
