1: Hurrikale isn't a premium, yes, I'll give you that.

2: Faster recharge, but no damage whatsoever, so only worth it if your defenses are ridiculously strong.

3: Actually, Jalapeno costs 100 not 125 in PvZ2, so they cost the same amount.

4: Chard Guard can push zombies about three spaces three times. This means that up against one zombie or group, it can push zombies NINE spaces instead of FIVE spaces for Hurrikale. And Gargs can only crush a Chard Guard if they're diverted straight into a Chard Guard or the Chard Guard is planted right on top of them.

B Launcher v C Cannon: 60 damage to only three spaces, every 21 seconds or so? That's only 3 damage a second, and only to one row at a time, for 500 sun. Winter Melon on the other hand can do 2 damage a second to one zombie, 1 damage a second to all zombies in a 3x3 area AND slow them down, effectively doubling its own damage and the damage of every other plant nearby, and so Winter Melon renders Banana Launcher useless.

Kernel-pult shouldn't deserve to be on the list? It's a great plant for early in levels, and spamming five or so can actually almost perma-stall Gargs in PvZ1. Where a single Winter Melon would not be able to kill a Garg, four or five Kernel-pults can usually.

Spring Blover is OP. It takes the fun out of the game and that is why it's at the top of that list.

Gloom-shroom requires Garlic or Pumpkin to be effective, but once you have those plants, it's INCREDIBLY effective. One Gloom plus one Garlic equals three rows defended against Coneheads. Two Glooms plus one Garlic equals three rows defended against Bucketheads.

Sap-fling is NOT useless. It slows zombies more than cold plants, works well with fire plants, such as in FC, and while it lacks damage, it is still an effective crowd control supporter. The main problem is, as I say, the design of PvZ2. In PvZ1, it would have been an incredibly useful plant and WAY higher in the list.
