There, the game's harder. And by the way, PvZ2 has difficult worlds that are totally fair, like DA, FC, NMT, and MD, they are all challenging in their own right without putting the player at a clear disadvantage. As for your second point, by that logic there couldn't be any original plants, I could just stretch my comparisons as much as I need to say every damaging plant is a copy of Peashooter, and every defensive/stalling plant is a copy of Wall-nut, so that's what I think of your argument there.

MD is really fair? All-Stars might be balanced(only because PWN), Baloon Zombies maybe(too tanky for speed IMO, but flying and can be blown away), Imp Punts into the middle of your field is bearable some of the times, but is Newspaper Zombie fair? Is 3 Imps and an Excavator as the first zombies where you can't lose more than 10 plants fair? Is a starting Excavator fair!? Most other things are reasonable, but you have to admit that some of these are just not cool. This was supposed to be a strategy game, not a game where you memorize where the dumb zombies will come and place plants accordingly. Unfortunately, that's what this game has become. Please consider me, a person who refuses PF on normal levels, as well as no lawnmowers and power-ups. I got through MD fine. I do too, and I got through to the end relatively quickly compared to some other worlds. However, I find injustice in some levels. Not all of them, but some are just not cool. The level I am most angered by, the one with the extra early Excavators that you can't lose more than 10 plants, was the first time I lost more than one plant on these levels and the first time I deliberately lost plants, which seems unfair. The Raptor in the middle is cruelly space-limiting in a level where you need to fight the Excavator-Parosol combo, making instants virtually necessary(kidos to one that can beat it w/out using instants or Guacodiles or money prems).

Well, now that GB is here, we can just plant two snapdragons on the out set to deal with the excavators. I admit though, without GB it's near impossible to not lose any plants.
