Why didn't  they nerf it with Frostbite Caves Part 2 then? Oh well, at least we can FINALLY get Thyme Warp in Greatest Hits ( and they also corrected the Greatest Hits Welcome thing), it was about goddamn thyme! ( sorry, I had to do the Thyme joke again XD) There are two theories of mine:

1. It is a glitch or a bug

2. If it is indeed a nerf then PopCap thought that plants would only activate their thawing effect once the other plant is completely frozen meaning players will have a harder time as the first or second stages of freezing won't activate that effect and will opt to use Hot Potato. Eitherway, it is a very condescending method to force players into using a plant. 1. Most probably so.

2. That doesn't make sense, though. I mean, the game is surely illogical, but I don't think THAT illogical. Why would fire melt an ice block, but not some ice surrounding a plant? Plus, Hot Potato could still be used without forcing us in Icebound Battleground. When the levels become tougher, you'll surely need an Hot Potato to immediately melt a frozen attacking plant.

On-topic: Is Modern Day the last world of the game? If they have indeed nerfed the mechanic, it;s based off the fact that it won't activate unless a plant is fully iced as unless the plant still functions. It's only when they are completely frozen do they need to be thawed. So maybe PopCap found it unnecessary to give the plants the thawing effect in the pre-freezing stages.

I seriously hope that this is just a bug and not an actual nerf.
