Dr. Fetus posted:Dear people who love grabbing the Rainmaker, stop taking the same heavily guarded route over and over again, and expecting things to work out differently! If that route is heavily guarded, that means there's an alternate route that you can take because no one is there and you can score points a lot more easily that way! (Unless the map is Inkblot, which pretty much has only one route.) Also, please stop picking it up when we don't have the advantage. The Rainmaker is not your friend. It hates you, and touching it makes you nothing more than a dead man walking, and turns the match into a 3v4 because that thing is that awful at being a weapon. On that note don't forget to recon before you play rainmaker. You may have played the map a billion times already but unless you've been specifically plotting rainmaker routes the whole time you're not gonna know the all the side routes

Earlier in Discord the topic of the GoobTuber and Flingza came up. Namely, these two weapons exist to take advantage of the added mechanics added for chargers and rollers, but fail to take advantage of them in a way that makes them worth choosing. I'm interested in how y'all would fix this dilemma. My suggestion for the Goo Tuber was to add the ability to let it charge a shot while an Inkling was swimming through ink.

They could fix the flingza roller pretty easily by not making it take an eternity to swing. Also giving it a sub weapon that actually does something. Ink wall on a roller is just insulting.

Is it possible run use the goo tuber for quick full-charge shots without revealing the aiming line? Aka you charge up around a corner, turn the corner and aim while in squid form, then pop up for a quick full-charge shot on an enemy before they can see the aiming line and avoid it?

The main issue with the Flingza is that anything that roller can do, the regular and Dynamo can do far better. The Flingza feels like a jack of all trades weapon, which is weird considering the Splat Roller already falls under that role, and plays that role way better. The Flingza's kit is also really not that good. It seems to be a defensive kit, but the Flingza really doesn't do that well as a defensive weapon. The current Dynamo kit does that job better.CodfishCartographer posted:Is it possible run use the goo tuber for quick full-charge shots without revealing the aiming line?

The issue is that all Chargers, the Goo Tuber included, give off a very big glow once you are fully charged. Which persists even if you dive into the ink. As it stands now, that tactic would only work on extremely unaware players.

The Flingza feels like a jack of all trades in the wrong way, trying to take the best parts of each of the other rollers and doing the same thing, just not quite as well. It has the horizontal flick speed of the Carbon Roller, but that's the only thing it has that's at that speed. It has the vertical flick range of the Dynamo Roller, except not really and the vertical flick is at Dynamo speed. It rolls at the same width and speed of the Splat Roller, but it has these awkward to use flicks and, frankly, a worse out than either of the Splat Rollers. There is no actual reason to use the weapon, which is a shame, as the weapon looks rather neat.

To me, the flizinga feels like the Splatoon 1 roller and the regular Splatoon 2 roller feels like the Splatoon 1 carbon roller. It's not a perfect comparison but it's close enough. The Splatoon 2 carbon roller feels like a toy, meanwhile.

how to fix the flingza: 1) take back the terrible idea of vertical flicks 2) delete the flingza as you no longer need a bad weapon that "takes advantage" of a bad mechanic

 Flingza continues to be bottom tier in Japan.  RG jumped up in usage quite a bit. But so did the Splat Roller.

Vertical flicks are a cool addition to the roller toolset and you still get horizontal jump flicks when you need to use them.

Probably not because the kit is identical.

I wonder how come the regular Splattershot has overtaken the Tentatek in recent weeks? I guess it's an update buffing or nerfing thing but I can't remember what subs and specials they both have right now.

If I recall, the tentatek had its inkjet nerfed (pretty hard too) and also had the cost to use inkjet increased. At that point I think a lot of people looked at the regular splattershot and noticed it's kit was pretty solid now that inkjet wasn't so goddamn useful.

Splashdown got a decent (but not enormous) buff in the September patch. The Tentatek has Splat Bombs and Inkjet. Inkjet is now a lot harder to use because the AOE of its shots was reduced, and the Tentatek in particular has the highest special requirement in the game, at 230p.

yeah they just nerfed it until it was bad in splatoon 1 and now it's just bad right out of the gate in 2 i hate the vertical flick, it's stupid, i never hit anything with it, and hours upon hours of playing splatoon 1 has conditioned me to jump when swinging and it's a habit i've found myself unable to break in 2 it's a good idea on paper that i just find miserable in practice
