Thank the lord, a voice of reason! Just 'cuz they upgrade plants doesn't mean they should just give us faster and healthier zombies! That'd be a reason enough for me to use that PLS thing!

I played two Prem Quests recently. One was basically the thesis of my thoughts on the direction of the franchise since LC, and the other the antithesis. I don't think people will need me to say which is which.

The first one was a PS level, with Minecarts taking the whole back two columns and the top two lanes not having planks. You were given 2 Witch Hazels, some Cabbage- and Kernel-pults, and Stunions. Enemy zombies included Bulls, Parasols. The first thing, of course, was me putting the WH on the Minecarts. Then, seeing the Parasols coming, I tried to keep them back, but I used many of my Stunions just for them. Quickly, I found a solution: Puff-shrooms. A couple plus a Stunion could wipe them out without a zap. Next, the Bulls usually needed a good zap to rid of, but I couldn't zap everything. After a couple of rampages, I realized that I could essentially store zap attacks by simply moving the Hazels up, then redirect them to the zombie I want using Stunion and Minecart skill. And at the end, as the last big hoard approached, I found the last big piece that occurred due to the peculiar setup: Stunion could stall ALL the zombies with his PF. All of that depth, but there was nothing extremely special, other than the fusion of two world elements. Now, was this difficult? Hell no; it was the easiest level I've played in a long, long time. But was it fun? I don't think I've had more fun playing Overwatch, and that thing deserves an 11/10 no promo, but promo, sry

The other one was a simple party. Imp rush to the first flag, then Octos and Newspaper Zombies. You get Apple Motor and Every. Damn. Staller. Well, no Hurrikale, 'cuz he's too cool, pun not intended, but you did get Stallia, Chili Bean, IbL, and Stunion. Was it a challenge? Well, that depends on your definition. Raw difficulty? Then damn, it's only bested by trying to beat that PP with BB and Chicken Wranglers using BB. btw, there were 4 Wizards, and one consistently refused to be vaccummed into Chomper. If your definition of challenge is depth, then it was not too much. Those Jesters needed to be stalled or CB'ed to die, and Newspapers needed to be blocked or stalled by something if they're enraged with only a couple of AMs, but the rest is Shovel skill to avoid Octos filling your lawn. Speaking of Octos, did they get a buff? They seem to get triggered every time they're stalled for every plant that stalls them and work together more often to not throw octopi at the same plant unless it's the only one left. That just makes the Prem Quest even harder, as your strongest DPS is worse than a Peashooter and an excess staller. All in all, it was superbly difficult. I'll admit defeat and say I used multiple Lawnmowers to destroy those guys. If you exclude EZs, that's probably one of the few levels I couldn't beat without those back-ups.
