For example, if Bloomerang were released today, everyone would call it unoriginal. Same with Coconut Cannon, Iceberg Lettuce, Spring Bean, and probably a bunch of others. Maybe Bloomerang. Not Coco Cannon. Not IbL nor SB. And I don't hate on them because they were useful in their context. The new Prems have no context, so they must be extremely original or else they face high criticisms of unoriginality. Although, yes, I might have been a bit harsh on Witch Hazel. She's not too UO, but she is underwhelming without conveyors to supply her.

Fair enough. My reason for Spring Bean is as follows:

"OMG Spring Bean? He's just like Chard Guard, but WAY worse." since his effect is incredibly similar. ... Maybe. The only thing is is that he'll be so UP that no one will really examine him. Even if they did, the whole point of his existance is to knock zombies to the side into the water and to their deaths. Once again, context.
