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. To add to this point, in most (normal) levels where Sun Producers aren't allowed, Sun Bean is.

I don't use it all the time in those situations but it can be useful, especially when boosted in those levels. There are only about 5 levels with that distinction Funny thing is, there are no levels with that distinction regarding Blowjob Launcher, at least Sun Bean can brag about having 5 levels.

More and more, it is becoming apparent this BWB plant is shit. In fact, now that I think about it, almost all of the plants obtained for free in BWB are shit if you use vanilla plants. Other worlds still have plants that work well as vanilla to an extent, but this world seems to especially focus on giving players some trashy plants. Hard agree except for Guacodile. Little guy is still pretty decent in the right scenario, but it's been known for a while that BWB plants have been noticeably worse than other world's plants.

I don't use it all the time in those situations but it can be useful, especially when boosted in those levels. Where and what the hell is Guacodile even useful for? Sure it's better than Blowing Bulb but it's a crappy plant as well. spammable small jalapeno that can take out decent small threats (imp from garg, jester, wizard, excavator, etc) quickly. meatshield block for fisherman.

mastery makes everything broken anyway, so who cares about its use amirite Why use meatshields when you can use bombs to blow everything up? andddd this is why I don't like leveling.

with everything being broken to hell, nothing matters. that's why you think everything can be answered with blowing things up - not the way a tower defense should be (where you mix things up to adapt to the current situation and not answering everything with one single solution)

there might be some fun gained from this but it fits a generic clicker game more than a tower defense game, and I never really enjoy clicker game. Yeah, you forgot we can blow things up vanilla style as well. No need to level up anything. See this is your problem, you have a one track mind (when I never brought up leveling once).

Tell that to the people who wanted to simplify the game even more to the point where there's no challenge. When there was a solid challenge, people bitched and the system was simplified and now it has been watered down even further. blowing things up has a downside of long cooldown - you have to rely on other plants to do the work while things recharge, and back when dynamic was still here there are enough zombies to prevent people from going only kabloomy and winning. that's what meatshields are for - buying time.

but now? dynamic's not there - so there aren't as many threats. moreover leveling does answer the cooldown problem. and the third factor is that - there are more bombing plants. then those bombing plants boost other bombing plants (ahem Bombard-mint). that's why saying things like answering everything with bombing becomes mindless to me - no downside whatsoever, and now strong enough to stand on its own. it may be your style to play, but it'll never be mine. I am not saying this should be your pay style, I am saying that you shouldn't bash the leveling system when people complaining was the reason they removed the actual chelleneging and dynamic difficulty system; those stars.

But still, if you really want to play with strategy, you'll know even without using meatshields and keeping in mind their seed packet cooldown, you can still blow everything up everytime to ease your situation. Not to mention, you still have your offensive plants doing your work in the meantime. well, fair. I concede. it's just that normally saying "blowing things up" to everything just never feels right for me. This is what I believe; if you try so hard to stay with something (stars in this case for me) and it still gets taken away from you and there's no way to get that back, you might as well give up and adapt to their crap. Being a purist in current PvZ 2 is impossible (which fits since you allowed leveling your mod even though you could have removed that altogether and yes I know it's optional and stuff but hopefully you get my point).

mastery makes everything broken anyway, so who cares about its use amirite Won't really work if there's several fisherman in each lane you can deal with the one early game, and even after that it's still free damage on the fisherman - good damage I'd say. the power of spammability is not to be overlooked. Yeah, but you have a problem when someone else spams bombs which is also good damage with added range. I don't get it, you bash someone for something, but then follow that up by agreeing to that very same thing but just in a different wording in a very hypocritical manner.

I have seen you do that with your mod and back here again. It's less about my call and more about your thoughts having two different tangents on the same thing. So in your view, spamming one plant is okay because it's "fun" (somehow) but not when you spam bombs. Again, if you want make a statement about something, you normally stick to that thing instead of bouncing everywhere. I understand your mentality that you hate bombing everything but my point stands in a way as the inconsistency in your statement is obvious, just my two cents. What even are you on? Just because you use a different name doesn't make it inherently different. Plants are being upgraded and that's that. Just because you allowed tradeoffs doesn't make it good or different. My point was ON THAT NOTION that you bounce around with hypocrisy just as you don't like "leveling" but allowed "tiers", just like how you don't like to spam bombs but you like to spam meatshields because they are apparently "fun" and they deal "less damage". Yes, you come up with reasons to argue with but they are laughable reasons.

Your logic is weird honestly. So just because it doesn't deal much damage means it is okay to spam it even though you are wasting a seed slot and valuable sun. So in that case, why not spam any other weak damage dealing plant other than Guacodile? There, you have even more fun then. And to answer your statement regarding counters, how many times have you selected a counter in a seed chooser in an Endless Zone only get buttfucked by the sheer number of the zombies there are? I'd like to see you have "fun" spamming these supposedly "meatshields" when they dont do anything in the long run other than waste resources.
