Considering that Shrinking Violet is now high on this theoretical tier list, what is on the bottom? I might say Homing Thistle, as it is very similar to Sling Pea, but more expensive. So the thing is with Shrinking Violet, you gotta abuse the fact that her cooldown is super low in order to use her properly. Enforce-mint is very good at wiping out large waves of zombies, but Shrinking Violet is good at constantly shrinking zombies - especially early zombies that are tough (maybe an early gargantuar, or weasel horader, or something of the sorts). Try experimenting with it - it's really good.

I think the worst gemium is probably Pea-nut, since it's outclassed almost entirely by Holly Barrier, who has knockback, AOE damage, and who's missiles basically function as mini-Endurians. Pea-nut's DPS is essentially useless, making it essentially a Wall-nut for 3x the cost and a slightly shorter cooldown.

Homing Thistle is definitely down there as one of the worst, but I like it in very specific situations as a starting offensive plant.

Also, no need to apologize for having an opinion, unless it's particularly hateful, which that one isn't. It's good to have differing opinions in many cases so that we can get closer to an objective look at the game.
