Gardener Xo's entire kit is countered by Zax#1204

Every Gardener game I play vs Zax feels awful, for a Captain to have his gameplan revolve around sticking close to both his plants and allies to nourish them get extremely punished by Zax’s vacuum grenades, not only positionally, but damaging me for each of my seeds feels like I’m being punished for trying to execute (the seemingly encouraged) gameplan.

I came here to post exactly this :D I like the gardener but his gameplay is bad and against zax (wich is most played meta atm). Plants should do no dmg to own units would help a bit. But his set is bad so or so. An armoured enemy alone is enough to conter all his plants and he has no way to do other dmg or any CC. His Speed up even is not rly useful. Should get an dmg up as well for example. Or he should get an AOE instead. something like this. Gardener needs work
