Spikerock- health reduced to 3 instead of 9

Chomper- Damage nerf

Squash- Cannot squash diagonally

Torchwood- Doesn't do splash damage anymore

Garlic- Health reduced

Fume Shroom- Attack rate reduced. For me, having a faster attack rate is better than higher damage output. As an example, Fume Shroom can barely kill a Jester until he gets up close and personal.

Puff Shroom- That b*tch of a timer

Magnet Shroom- Seed packet recharge is mediocre instead of fast.

.....and what else am I missing. Can't quite remember at the moment. Also, thank satan's horns that they buffed WInter Melon. I can't be grateful enough. That fast recharge helps out a lot. Chomper could kill vehicles in PvZ1, now it cannot. Just that measly damamge increase does nothing helpful at all.

Fume- I know that but since the attack rate is halved, it can just barely kill a Jester who gets close to it. A faster attack rate helps out more than increased damage but lower rate and this is also evident for Primal Peashooter.

Puff Shroom- To you everything is always OP so that's subjective

Magnet- Again, it is easy to say but hard when levels are way too fast and put out zombies faster than you can plant. A Fast recharge is obviously better than Mediocre and that helps out for zombies who get speed boosts and have armor (Jurassic Marsh). There is no reason to fix anything when it's not even broken. For Fume-shroom, are you actually saying it's nerfed because it's the same as in the first game? Just because it technically isn't buffed, doesn't mean it's nerfed. And for Puff-shroom, you're right, it's my opinion, and it's subjective. I don't think everything's overpowered though. I don't even use Puff-shroom aside from early on in Arthur's challenge anyway. Bottom line, saying "most returning plants get nerfed" doesn't make any sense. Because ones that are nerfed in some way usually are given a buff to balance it out. Examples where there aren't are ones such as Squash, Chomper, Spikerock, Torchwood, and Garlic. Thing isn't, people are saying "all returning plants are nerfed nowadays". The only plant with a completely game-changing nerf that was added recently was Garlic.
