please don't encourage this kind of behavior.

I know streaming attracts some of the worst people on the internet but I think Splatoon can build a sane community if given the chance.

Unless you're referring to Japanese players who've neglected their health to become Splatoon Gods - who are we to judge? It's for them to decide if and when they need to eat and sleep and if they'd prefer to do neither that's on them.

I like snipers, they're easy to sneak up on because they spend so much time pointed in one direction, and they're easy to hit with my blaster because they don't move around much, even if your first shot doesn't kill them.

Does anybody know what sub and special the mini splatling will have or is it a mystery? I'm guessing something like disruptor and bubbler

that's assuming you can get around to an easy spot to hit them from. they turn towers and mall into a living hell.

Any worthwhile sniper vantage point on Mall leaves them vulnerable to multiple directions from the Blaster. I made life for several of them miserable while trying out damage stacking last night.

You might be right about Towers because I didn't play much on that one, but Towers is also a pretty bad map.

Except for the center tower in blackbelly skatepark. You can camp and hold that thing all day long. Though I love that map because you can paint circles around the easily accessible enemy spawn while everyone else goes all deathmatch over the worthless center area.

When I play, the center tower gets way too much traffic to camp there. I prefer the right ledge. It shuts down a lot of enemy paths.

Yeah I checked out a wiki and it says the same, but it turns out the Zink Mini Splatling variant will have disruptor + bubbler.

Really? As a charger main I usually find the center tower in Blackbelly to be one of the worst spots to snipe from. There's just way too many angles enemies can come at you from, and it's really hard to snipe people below you once they reach the base of the tower.

I usually hop on the tower for a quick kill or two and then drop off back into the lower level.

I've probably got it wrong then, just like, every time I'm killed around it the culprit is someone on top, and once a team inks it it seems to stay the same color for the duration of the battle. Again I usually don't pay attention because it's so, so easy to get to the other side and nothing satisfies me more than to paint a circle around the enemy spawn right before the battle ends and admire my work while the final score is added up.

"there are two chargers on my team, surely at least one of them is good."

both chargers get zero kills and around 400 points.

I'm sure all those Damage Ups give them an edge but its just so unfresh, I wouldn't do it for the life of me. It doesn't help that most of the time the clothes sets don't look good when mixed with other pieces.

That said, I use the gas mask wiith my 3K cause Tenacity and Special Duration Up is just way too useful with an Echolocator.

This is probably one of those choices that'd lead to another round of the older players crushing the younger by picking The Simpsons.

Even if it hasn't been anywhere near approaching good since about Season 16.
