PvzGW2 - the amount of shots you need to put into a citron to take him down vs his insane damage

with almost everything you will need to reload while going against a citron. i just find myself shooting citrons for the longest periods thinking how much HP this thing has????. the damage speed of the citron beam is obscene even at range they just pulled the same idea of OP rose all over again making one class carry the entire plants side again. they simply could not find a better way to "balance" the game they wanted to make more people use mechs because the data showed they were not being used enough. so they really wanted to buff the mechs and they did. but since they did that they had to buff the plants to compensate and even after the other plant buffs like rose and flower it was not enough they had to make citron just a bit OP. popcap really are not doing the best job at balancing their game
