    The Digestion time should be dynamic, and vary depending on the HP of the zombie the plant eats.
    If it eats a basic, it only has 8 seconds of cooldown. If it eats a Blockhead, it has 20 or so. This may help with its viability in levels with higher density and less hp zombies

    The biggest spit in the face of chomper is the mere existence of squash who literally does everything chomper does for cheaper, the only thing chomper has that squash doesn't is the fast recharge

      Exactly. The short recharge of chomper makes it an amazing insta. Don't get me wrong, squash is good too, but damn chomper's recharge is so low for an insta.

    Reflourished makes Chomper pretty good though. Like Peanut. That vacuum plant food eating ten zombies is peak, and 12 seconds of nom time is pretty zippy considering RFL is usually not too reliant on spamming ridiculous zombie counts. Brought the hungry boy to BWB as a free stage plant too.

    Seeing how far Chomper fell makes me feel so bad genuinely
    Chomper is one of the best designs in PVZ (imo), and he deserved so much more than what he got, why does he have to suffer with little upgrades and even when he did it was nothing special.
    Imagine if Chomper's "tuning" in 2021 was his eating time was reduced to 15 seconds, he could eat 3 zombies before chewing, AND he could eat larger targets like he could in PVZ1 (Zomboni, bobsled team, etc.) AND if we want to catch him up to speed, why not ever 30-40 seconds he does a move similar to his plant food, vacuuming up several plants and BLOWING them all down the lane? When the other plants got major buffs, Chomper was left in the composter, biting at every speck of trash hoping it had a chance to live.

  • @QuentinH-b8s
    @QuentinH-b8s 4 часа назад +2

    I do feel sorry for chomper but here's how we can actually improve upon one of its weaknesses. Chomper's reaction time and bite speed seems to have been nerfed a bit in PvZ 2. In the 1st game if you place one on top of a zombie it chomps down instantly but in the sequel it waits a few seconds before actually biting down, allowing the zombie to damage it, which makes it unable to counter zombies like All Stars and newspaper zombies when they enter "methhead tweaking mode" (KoalaPvZ - only peashooters challenge :) ). Increasing its bite speed (and maybe bite damage) helps it deal with tanky zombies that it can't swallow, making it a slightly better niche plant.
    In my opinion, chomper does better in PvZ 2 because of the 50 sun meta and the sun refund when you shovel it, making it essentially a 75 cost spammable instant. Also the existence of many more slow special zombies like octo and wizard that usually hang around at the back of the horde making them easy targets to pick off kind of gives it a niche.
    Awesome video! Which plant are you going to do next? I recommend hypno-shroom, another beloved but terrible insta

    • @QuentinH-b8s
      @QuentinH-b8s 3 часа назад

      I agree. People keep complaining about how it takes forever to fully consume a zombie but they never look at its other aspects. The fact that it has a fast recharge already gives you so much more placement freedom to pick off stray/special zombies ruining your strategy. This cannot be done with other instas like cherry bomb because they are heavily limited by their seed recharge, meaning you need to strategize to get good value out of each use. That consideration does not apply to chomper at all.
      Chomper should not be compared to slow AoE instas because it serves a completely different function from them

    I think most people have a fundamental misunderstanding of how chomper is used. It is not a large instakill, and not a main attacker. It is a single-target, fast recharge instant, capable of taking out important threats quickly, while other instant plants in the same situation may still be on recharge. It being able to eat a second zombie if left alone is just a bonus.

  • @rocsthepie
    @rocsthepie Час назад

    From all the pvz main games (excluding Heroes because I haven't played it a lot), I really only like Chomper in BFN, which is the game where he feels the most different (doesn't swallow and has a range attack). I hate to feel like this since Chomper is such an iconic plant, not to mention how good his design is

    Yknow, I think Chomper should be given the peavine treatment. Let him share a space with another plant! That way it's at least a little bit more useful... maybe make it so that while Chomper is chewing, the plant he's stuck to would be invulnerable. So Chomper acts kinda like a pumpkin that bites
