First it was Sun-shroom, then Grapeshot and Cold Snapdragon, and now Dusk Lobber, who makes not one, but two plants useless! What's wrong with that? And it doesn't make them useless... I still pick cherry because there's only one imitator I can use for grapeshot. It does make them useless. Why pick Snapdragon when you can pick Cold Snapdragon, who does the same thing, but with an added chilling effect and without the ability to relight dynamite and torches for the same amount of sun? Why pick Cherry Bomb (without bringing Imitater into the equation) when you can pick a plant that does the same thing plus damages zombies all across the lawn for the same amount of sun? Why pick Sunflower when you can pick a plant that eventually produces more sun than it, for a lower sun cost? Why pick Pepper-pult outside of Frostbite Caves when you can pick a plant that does the same thing for less sun and a faster recharge? Why pick Threepeater when for just 175 sun + 50 sun, you can pick a plant that does the exact same thing, with the added bonus of dealing splash damage?

You see what I'm getting at? In the cases of plants like Wall-nut and Primal Wall-nut, or Spikeweed and Spikerock, it's different because they have different sun costs and/or recharges. The better ones are always more expensive or have a slower recharge. But with the examples I listed, that's not the case. It wouldn't even be that much of a problem if these plants were obtained later than each other, but in all of these cases except Sunflower and Sun-shroom, that's not the case. Because you can play the worlds in any order, and Grapeshot and Cold Snapdragon are premium, so you can buy them at any time. 1. Remember you can't always pick your seeds.

2. Many have no money to buy it&grapeshot.

3. You could say "Snapdragon didn't replace Cold Snapdragon! Yay!" You're being too negative.

4. How can you neglect an important aspect, imitator? And if I didn't have imitator, I'd still take cherry so it can act like an imitator.

5. A better plant doesn't make the old one useless! Cherry bomb is still awesome... Grapeshot is insanely awesome! Same with cold snapdragon.

6. Like I said, you can't always pick your seeds!

7. Parasols...

8. Sure, just 50 more sun, but also another seed packet!

9. Moonflower takes up lawn space.

10. If you bought them first, they wouldn't even be replacing anything!

11. To top it all of, why buy a premium if it isn't even powerful! For the sake of completion? Not everybody wants to waste cash, and since EA is a company, and companies are made for money, EA would want more buyers... They would have less if they made a useless plant.
