You know something Ironic? *_Octo Zombie can be countered if Umbrella Leaf was in PvZ 2_*

[@lemonsmug]

it makes me so mad that they put split pea in as the counter to prospector instead of umbrella leaf. UMBRELLA LEAF WOULD HAVE A REAL USE IN THIS GAME BUT NOOOO WE GOTTA GET *SPLIT PEA* IN THIS GAME

[@bluekirby6120]

Holy crap your right it counter so many. Any lobbing projectile zombies could be nullified. Zcorpion, Julius ceaser zombies, helpdesk zombie, all imp throws (I think I am not sure if it could block those in PvZ1), potentially imp cannon, maybe prospector?, maybe dodo bird?, and many more. It would be a stationary parasol zombie that had 3x3 radius

[@ZA-en4bb]

Not only does it have so many good uses, it would be great in bwb because umbrellas are often brought to beaches.

[@chosen_one.666]

Honestly, Umbrella Leaf within Pvz2 kinda sounds overpowered for the potential of blocking aerial zombies or zombie attacks that are launched or are swooping into your defenses, such as what @Blue Kirby said. I'll also add onto that in which Swashbuckler Zombies and Relic Hunter Zombies would also be hardcountered by Umbrella Leaf, as well as the brains thrown from Cardio Zombie, the missiles shot from Zomboss Mechs and Z-Mech, the Bot Swarm Ambush would also be completely nullified by Umbrella Leaf, Roman Caesar Zombie's thrown imperial salad dressing would also be deflected by Umbrella Leaf, bones thrown from Tomb Raiser Zombies wouldn't do anything, -lobbed projectiles reflected from a Jester Zombie would also be deflected from an Umbrella Leaf- actually they would not since they're not lobbed back at you through the air lol (ive crossed this out), the Lost Pilot Zombie's and Zcorp HelpDesk Zombie's Parachute Rain Ambush would also be completely nullified by Umbrella Leaf, Zcorp Helpdesk's lobbed labtop would also be deflected from Umbrella Leaf, the zombie thrown from Zcorp Chair Racer would also be instantly killed from Umbrella Leaf, Carnie Cannon's overpowered Carnie Imp would also be deflected from an Umbrella Leaf, Super-Fan Imps kicked from an All-Star Zombie would also be deflected from an Umbrella Leaf, and Disco Jetpack Zombies summoned from a Disco-tron 3000 would also be destroyed by an Umbrella Leaf. *Umbrella Leaf should honestly become a seedium plant asap.*

I actually found out that Rotobaga from Frostbite Caves is actually a pretty decent counter against octos, if you place them in a cone shape, they will be able to deal with any octos being thrown at them while the other plants are taking down the big octo from behind and in addition they are pretty good to bait out fishermen zombies too, since they are a flying plant they won't drown if pushed into the water.

[@maddoxbellrose7679]

I think you're undervaluing the knight and king zombies. With lower sun you can plant less, but with the threat of jester your heavy damaging plants (repeater, winter melon etc.) Are effectively disabled, therefore knights take less damage. You are also rushed to kill them too in case wizards are in the game. Furthermore the knights keep getting galvanised by the king so even if you bring magnet shroom or something the king could render the ability useless.

[@NoxinPistol]

Apart from the obvious troll picks, you can tell that a lot of the people that took the survey never got past the first few worlds. It's annoying to them because those are the zombies that made them quit before seeing anything else that's worse. I would have expected Neon Mixtape Tour and Big Wave Beach zombies to be high up on the list, but not Ancient Egypt and Dark Ages. (The exceptions being Wizard, Jester, etc.) That's understandable if you never played PvZ1, since that game was basically a tutorial for the sequel. Most players would jump into PvZ2 with the same mind-set, not knowing how more engaging this game is going to be. That's probably why Ra Zombie is that far up because they added an enemy that actually forces the player to be more active. That's something the first game barely did outside of mini-games and certain levels. This also proved the comment I made on that poll video. There are so many zombies that have similar abilities that are on the list, or are close in tier to one another. Worse, there are zombies that are essentially just upgraded versions of the ones shown in the video but are either not on the tier list, or the first variants have more votes than the former.

[@justinjakeashton]

Ra Zombie #41, Explorer Zombie #40, Tomb Raiser #20. Massive skill issue with that polling group. Hell, Explorer Zombie and Sarcophagus Zombie were far bigger threats in Ancient Egypt than Tomb Raiser so it's not like having only played World 1 is an excuse. Never having played PvZ 1 probably made these players ill-prepared for abusing that 0-cost Grave Buster.

[@MaxiemumKarnage]

Well it shows how making PVZ2 pay to win was a horrible idea as most sane people can only lose over and over again so many times before they give up, the only people experiencing the final few worlds are largely whales or people who have had the game for years now. Similar to Battle Cats where the game gets worse the longer you play.

If a whole lane is filled with octos then outside of power ups your only way to clear them is with insta kills or plants that target multiple lanes. Multiple lanes of octo zombies can spell serious trouble for your plants especially if they’re in groups. It’s either act fast or octopi swarm the lawn and make the game unplayable. First time I watched this I did not really know how it could be that annoying. Then I got to big wave beach day 17 and experienced true hell until the end of big wave beach. Modern day had octo zombies on occasion but somehow despite the difficulty of that world, it was a little more than just a lil tedious. Not as completely unfair as big wave beach is. They wanted to make players experience true pain since wizards werent enough before.

So in PvZ Eclise, there is a Secret level called Octillion, with only 1 type of Zombie, and *can you guess what it is??* You can probably imagine how that went.

No, Octillion also has coral cage, fisherman, and the three BWB basic types (basic, conehead, buckethead) Squidillion from beta eclise has only octo and three basics.

[@Liverator]

I'm surprised Weasel Hoarder and Chicken Wrangler were rated so high. PvZ 2 has so many AOE plants that it's generally pretty difficult NOT to counter them. As opposed to a lot of other zombies that don't have apparent counters aside from using a consumable plant like a cherry bomb.

[@prachidhanwantari4841]

I suppose its from new players who got demolished by these two Like sure they _are_ annoying but they shoudnt be that high

[@guito1975]

chickens and weasels are SO anoying but with lightning reeds its existence is nothing

[@IWishYouTheBest]

Trust me I find weasel hoarder and chicken wragglers extremely annoying. And I am not the only one who thinks that. They release a group of animals that charge towards your house at an insanely fast speed and if you don't set up a proper defense in time you're screwed.

[@jamieexists4895]

[@edzbig5700]

Great vid with tons of effort! Although, Personally, I think a better voting system would reflect the annoyingness better. IMO each voter should have about five votes, and the more annoying a zombie is in their mind, the higher score they'd give. Some candidates are pretty annoying and should be ranked higher, but since they are not the most annoying zombie that comes to mind, they are just as unpopular as the ones that are not annoying at all. For instance, Prospectors and Explorers should rank higher in the annoying tierlist if you ask me, but they are obviously not the worst ones, so they get thrown out as if they are as unannoying as regular imps. If you're already doing that, then ignore this.

[@IWishYouTheBest]

I agree, but the good thing is they are weak and can be easily dealt. I suggest lightning reed

[@hungtheheroluu]

14:48 ah yes, saving the worst for last. I knew Octo Zombie would be the most annoying zombie in PvZ2. It doesn't even make sense he can still throw regular-sized octopi once you use Shrinking Violet against him. I would always say "Saving the worst for last," whenever I see Octo, who always seems to appear at the last level of premium plants epic quests.

[@hungtheheroluu]

Coincidentally and funny enough, by the time Big Wave Beach Part 2 was released, the Penguins of Madagascar movie was also released, which featured octopuses as the bad guys.

[@poppyfrancis7338]

Absolutely no surprises that the zombies who's unique ability is just being tankier and therefore spammed more often at later levels and rounds were ranked as pretty annoying. And for King, well. Making regular zombies take more hits than they would normally is pretty annoying, even if they're not really hard to deal with

[@jacobcoopermogil2683]

I recall a time when Dr. Zomboss was among the top most annoying zombies to exist. Has he really been overshadowed this easily?

[@stephaniereese7183]

Mostly digger zombie

[@Appease-MintYT]

I can't believe that Gargimp Legal's and Head Office Gargantuar's rank can be that low! Head Office Gargantuar throws Gargimp Legal to column 3 when he recieves damage. You guys all know that Gargimp Legal is stronger than a buckethead zombie, that means Head Office Gargantuar throws a mini gargantuar that stronger than the buckethead zombie that can easily destroy your lineup because Gargimp Legal can one-hit most plants! (Especially in Penny's Pursuit, they're f**king annoying) Do you guys agree my opinion?

[@brawlmaster0190]

I agree with the Gargimp Legal but the Impgantuar is weak,he's not as tough as an actual Garg

Actually, buckhead zombie can be really annoying if you don't have magnet-shroom. Especially in neon mixtape tour

[@andrewgreeb916]

Considering how a potato mine easily deals with early bucket heads, and a single repeater can barely handle a bucket head they're not too problematic. Magnet shroom just doesn't do enough outside of neon mixtape tour to be brought, realistically it should be able to steal shovels and umbrellas, but it can't.

[@thebucketheadgaming]

I mean, yeah, putting Buckethead Zombie on the poll is understandable, but he doesn't really have a reason to be as high as he is. Sure, he can be a mild annoyance without the proper setup, but there are many zombies worse than him. And no, I'm not just talking about the Gargantuars. Or the Zomboss Mechs.

King Zombies are pretty hard to deal with in droves though and doubly so with Wizards (who in higher levels of endless mode can snipe your plants from offscreen, by the way) and graves constantly spawning makes it pretty hard to deal with everything. (Magnet-shrooms only help so much.)
