Well, I haven't read most of the comments. But what I find useful with Boomerang Throwers (for me), is that I use it in conjunction with Ice Monkeys.

The Sonic Boom upgrade allows the Boomerang Thrower to pop frozen bloons, with a 1/1 Boomerang Thrower used with an ice monkey with a large freeze radius (3/0 if I'm not wrong), you can take down most bloons fairly easily.

My next suggestion is for late game, and I'm still on early game so correct me if I'm wrong.

A 4/1 Boomerang and a 4/0 Ice Monkey should work great, the Viral Frost should give the orbiting glaives enough time to take out the frozen bloons. I don't know if you can pop frozen lead with a 0/1 boomerang though, so if that doesn't work, maybe a 4/2 boomerang should do the trick.

So, to sum it all up, boomerang throwers, unless upgraded on the second path, is not of much help on its own, you need more towers to fully maximize its capability.
