However, there's also the fact that it's only single-use, so even while boosted, it isn't the best choice of plant, Ghost Peppers or Lava Guavas can often be more effective for only 25 sun more. The PF effect is the only thing I consider OP, as it's nearly a "kill everything" option, aside from really high health zombies that don't use protective equipment, like Future Mechs and Gargs.

However, Winter Melon is also OP in general, yet no one complains. And, in PvZ1, Winter Melon would often be one of the last plants you obtain. It makes sense that the strongest plants are unlocked in the final world.

Speaking of which, Nightshade really needs a buff before the official release. It's not strong enough for a late-game plant. It actually really makes sense that Shadow-shroom ignores armor and helmets.

Since, uh, when does poison poison inanimate objects? Poison only affects the living host. Since when do spikes on the ground you're walking damage the object you're wearing on your head?

We aren't saying it doesn't make sense, we're saying it doesn't need to.
