Bloon Master Alchemist could use a nerf, mostly with the price. Ninja Kiwi tried to balance the upgrade so that the shrink potions rarely get thrown. The price (40,000 on Medium) is very low for a powerful 5th tier. If I were nerfing it, I would probably make the tower more expensive, like 75,000. Or the price could stay the same, but the upgrade would not be able to work on ZOMGs. I'm so glad it doesn't work on B.A.D.s though.

The problem with the tower is that you only can get it in the later rounds, when tons of MOAB class bloons come out. That means that the no grouped popping power isn't much of a problem.
