All I want
Is a patch
That removes
The stupid fucking laser
Chargers have it hard enough as it is on most maps, the last thing they need is a big "Please run away, I'm going to shoot you now

Stall, not kill.
It is possible to die as a Kraken through the magic of severe lag though.

I nearly stalled it out with a paintbrush once. =D

Plenty of chargers have still managed to hit me as I try to escape; honestly without the lasers the charger weapons would be overpowered
Any videos of this?
Does the aerospray have output that fast?
How do you do it with a roller?
What if the kraken jumps at you?
Extremely op. They also hit you in ink, there is a big X showing you are there on your cursor.
This game would suck hard if there was no laser. I played some snipers from japan and they kept me out constantly. Was so hard to even get close. They were so quick.
Have you played Ranked as Roller, being able to run away while people are shooting at you and surviving is paramount.
When you get shot at the ground below you is turned to opposition color - jumping and running is your best bet to run away. Thus having a jump perk is more important than the Squid Speed perk, because as a roller you'd be jumping and running into opposition ink quite often.
Also against good players you might want to flank them without inking, cause you would assume they would be watching the mini map.
Having a few extra movement speed perks so you can get away to your ink or flank is pretty important. The amount of times Ink Resistance Up and running away has saved me in this game is quite a lot.
It just slows the Kraken, until hopefully it's duration is over at the very least you have stalled it so your team mates don't get splatted.
Your best bet with Kraken depends on whether you are in your own ink or in enemy territory. If you are in your own ink and have Ninja Squid - run away! If you are in enemy ink or don't have Ninja Squid fire at the Kraken and at least slow it down to help your teammates.
yeah by splashing them, the dynamo is way too slow sadly, you can't kill the kraken form but you'll be wasting his special... I think I got a vid, here.

Laser is fine, chargers don't have it hard on any maps at all imo.
Can confirm, I was that Kraken. It was pretty rad. I was genuinely worried that Kraken was going to run out before he ran out of ink.
Wow, didn't know that could happen.
And the aerospray can do the same? hmmmmm.... might have to try that.
Yeah the laser sight is incredibly important.
Anything that can instakill you from so far away needs a tell.
Sniping is usually the most BS form of shooting in competitive games because there's no counter to just being shot from half way across the map from something that gave you no warning. Good multiplayer gameplay comes from engaging with your opponent and sniping often negates that.
I do think chargers could use a bit of a buff. Maybe make the base charger go further. Maybe make the e-liter charge faster. But don't get rid of the on thing that makes them engaging for both the player and the opponent.
That video is funny, it's like an angry fish trying to jump at you.

HELLS TO THE NO.
I don't even need to explain why I hope.
lmao
Once we got violet_0 stuck this way, but it was with two aerosprays and me as a roller,he was surrounded the whole time, like a trophy fish, haven't recorded that moment though, but it's the best splat to this day.

Agreed. Smashley would be OP without the laser. Don't know who you guys are talking to but I like the laser.
lol, that's awesome

What? I can already barely escape a charger as it is. If this were implemented I wouldn't be escaping, I'd just be dying.

Those moments when you know you're about to be splat but turn into a squid and shamelessly jump around hoping for the best.

Is it me or do u ppl think this weapon is too OP?
nope it could use a hell of a lot more range and damage :3

I wish tiny little spots of enemy ink didnt have the same effect as you standing in their territory. Makes it frustrating when youre trying to swim away from a kraken and a little drop of blue ink spells your doom
Is it me or do u ppl think this weapon is too OP?
It's great for spreading ink.
You've got to get pretty close to kill people with it though; closer than most other weapons

It's my go to for leveling up clothing abilities quickly, The mines are not all that useful, but inkstrike is solid. It's great for moving paint quikly, but falls behind in offensive areas.

Good for close range I guess and plus it's gold

If you aint bubble you aint trouble

It makes Turf War easy, but that's not the case in Splat Zone.
Is it me or do u ppl think this weapon is too OP?
It's amazing at pure inking. HOWEVER, its kill power is total ass. That's why you gotta use the mines smartly and retreat more often than not. It's really best when you have support behind you so you can just worry about spreading ink and getting the inkstrikes.

fuck you and your bombs blue lol
If it's activated right near you, yeah, I guess. But if it isn't, then it's pretty underpowered honestly.
And if a roller is running at you with glowing hair, well, you know what to do.

I don't use it in ranked. I prefer the range of the .96 Gal. But it is fun in turf.
