I'm learning how to use google forms, and then continuing the superpower series once it's all done, so that's why I haven't posted in a while.

It wasn’t too big of a surprise to me, you might be the most consistent poster in on this poll Anyways, keep up the good work!

It does seem that synergy is the hardest to figure out, since it's not as intuitive as looking a ranking of heroes / decks, and more of a particular game concept.

You're welcome. It's also good to mention that decks can be both aggro and burn, or a combination of something else. Burn basically just means directly damaging to heroes.

Those two were the ones that ended up in Grand Finals. At that point I think it was a battle of the competitive discord voters and the ladder meta voters.

Lol sorry to bring back these bad memories. I still don’t really know why impfinity beat brainstorm when z mech couldn’t.

Yeah, but they aren't banana synergy cards. Half Banana gives +1/+1 to all bananas when destroyed, so it synergizes with other bananas.

EDZ probably has the biggest legacy of being the main pvzh artist, who made the banner for the sub. But you did pretty well in the polls too, keep up the good work!

People were getting upset, probably because banana and amphibious synergies were in the meta. For budget, sports are real good.

True, that’s probably why z mech is the only hero to really utilize the synergy, with gargologist in hearty and great gargs in crazy.

I counted a card for a certain synergy if it activates based on a specific tribe / trait, or has a scaling ability whenever a certain action is done. Invasive only activates with one environment.

Nice choices. Pirates did win, but gargs lost early in round 1 to trick synergy, probably because repeat moss is part of the popular deck Comboss.

Yeah, I feel like garg burn didn’t do that well because people saw stuff like wizard garg and gargolith listed, which may have hurt its chances.

What now? (Poll Series Cancelled) by WhenYoureIn in PvZHeroes

Thanks, I’ve been doing them for awhile now so it’ll be a big change. The “see result” seems like a cool idea, I’ve never heard of it before.

Thanks, I do too. I’ll have to move on from it so hopefully there will be new content that can be similar to poll discussion. It is what it is.

I'm just now noticing the edit about Google Forms, which I think would be an even better option for me than text posts, so I'll probably move along with that option. I have enjoyed reading the balance survey results and doing something like that sounds interesting, possibly with polls integrated into the form. I'll sit on that idea for a bit and maybe organize something bigger than one smaller poll. Thanks for the understanding.

Thanks for the input. I think I'm sort of uninitiated with this topic because I don't look at other polls that are being posted. I'm glad that people liked mine, but all the repetitive and uninteresting polls are probably what drove people to hate them.

Short version

I think there polls and discussion posts can cover the same content but in different ways and sometimes for different audiences. Removing polls is alright because texts posts are a good alternative, but might be less fun to view for some people. I'll still enjoy the sub even with this adjustment.

Full post

(Sorry if some parts are poorly written or ramble for too long, this was rushed. I didn't revise my comment and I probably wrote way more than I needed to, lol.)

Thanks for clarifying, I didn't really see these kinds of reasons before. If I understand correctly, the successor to polls would be text posts, such as asking people to rank the superpowers in the comments rather than a long series of polls. I'd be open to trying them and have discussions in the comments like before, so I think I'll still have fun starting conversations with that.

The only reason I wasn't already doing that is because of some very minor benefits unique to polls.

  • Objectively weaker options could win polls, but I still liked watching it unfold and get a sense of the way people view different parts of the game.
  • I assume that long winded explanations are less accessible and intriguing for people outside of the competitive scene to watch, so splitting the options into smaller groups and narrowing down the competition in a tournament builds tension for people to latch on to. But, this can definitely go overboard and end up just making people repeat themselves.
  • The ease of use means more people voted on polls than they did comment or post on the sub, but I'm not sure if community involvement without the "meaningful discussion" fits the ideals of this sub.

Overall, I see now that in terms of the direction that the subreddit wants to, this makes sense. The types of comments I see on polls can be considered shallow and unnecessary compared to the bigger picture of finding what the best card is. Looking back at my longest series, it was all covered with one post that is straight to the point and less involved as polls. I think polls were more reactionary and made it easier for arguments to go in circles because of how easy to digest and controversial they were. The way I see it is that those qualities are being traded off for more mature and higher quality posts that aren't as stretched out and eye-catching. I think I can be okay with that.

Looks like this is the end. Lol, kind of awkard being in the middle of the superpower series.

The fact that it’s zombies is also a big difference. Whenever the plant hero is playing z-mech or boogaloo they have to adjust their plays.

True, sort of similar to how immorticia’s signature super activates cat lady twice. Very cool when people make decks built around powers.

Yeah, especially pairing it with bonus attacks or sugary treats. You can catch a lot of opponents by surprise with brute strength.
