Some things I don't necessarily agree with. But it is your blog.

I just want to point some stuff out.

1. Just because there's a better plant that does the same or nearly the same job, doesn't mean it has not have its own merits. Kinda like Pokémon and Puzzles and Dragons.

Getting that out of the way, I shall begin.

Starfruit is spelt wrong, btw.

Now I will begin.

Laser Bean is of course not a main offensive plant. Who would use LB as a main attacker in a level w/ zombies greater than Bucketheads? That's why you back it up with heavy hitters, which most DON'T have AOE, one thing you said was one of the reasons why certain plants are not included.

Pea-nut obviously is unoriginal and very weak. I admit that, but a few of the most strongest plants can be considered unoriginal too. Winter Melon is literally a Snow Pea and Melon-pult. Repeater and Gataling Pea are just two and four peashooters respectively. Pea Pod is literally this. It is very weak, I do concede.

Bowling Bulb. It sucks with its timer and double nerfs. However, you dare to mention a plant 2.5x more expensive than Bowling Bulb. That's hilarious, IMO.

Homing Thistle is a decent plant. When combined with Heavy Hitters or "Auxiliary", it can be great. I suggest Winter Melon and Laser Bean to back it up. When you have enough HTs, it can be great to destroy Gargs with, and you don't need to use the WM+SR to defeat the Imps released, especially when WM+SR cannot defeat Bug Bot Imps.

Rotobaga can do more damage than Starfruit, yet it still is weaker? It may have less range, but the damage compensates for it if not overcompensates.

Fire Peashooter, where do I begin? I apologize for the insinuation, but I do think one of the reasons it is one here is because not much synergy is there between FP and WM, a plant I assume you commonly use. I did say mathematically it is inferior to Torchwood and Peashooter after the second planting. But there are some redeeming qualities besides PF. Like you said, it is a good thawer. In fact, it is one of the best thawing plants. Well, with only 3.5(Hot Potater isn't your average thawing plant) thawing plants, it is a little easy to be considered "one of the best". That's not the point. Fire Peashooter saves a Seed Slot. Whether you bought an additional Seed Slot or not, Seed Slots are precious to us. Just like in Pokemon and PaD.

You can't have a counter for everything and there will NEVER be a one-plant-fits/does-all.
