The .96 deco is not bad, but I'll just stick with the brush for turf war.

I think rollers in general need a nerf on either their range OR their spread on the flick. Not massive but a slight one.
The bigger problem with rollers is that accuracy isn't really an issue with rollers. There's some RNG involved with where the flick goes, but generally, it is enough. Every other weapon have to deal with accuracy.
Best way to deal with rollers is to put up some Defense Up, very helpful if you are using a short-range weapon.
Though the Dynamo is pretty ridiculous with its range rivaling the mid-long range shooters with it being a one shot kill at that range as well. I bet you can flick with the dynamo from the top of Moray Towers and it will reach the bottom lol.

Yea, this is my biggest problem with Ranked. I hate it even more when I'm using a charger and it gives me two or three other chargers on my team.

Good, 4 japanese chargers on Blackbelly Splat Zones, what can go wrong?
If you haven't already, make some time and beat the single player, with motion controls on of course. You instantly have the skill set of any b rank player. And it's fun. I'm using the Amiibo challenges to practice my charger before I burden my teammates with it online.

How did a kraken swim up to me while I was swinging my carbon roller rapidly?

Can't wait to play and check out the 96 Deco.
I have so much fun using the 96 in turf wars and destroying low-skill teams like 20-2, and now I can bust out a kraken if they get the jump on me? This is gonna be great.

It's been my one and only opinion on balance!

Sploosh is fun, but teammates are super inconsistent about using beacons (at least at the B levels) and I do often miss having an offensive secondary when using it, especially with its range; though there's always some good hiding places to at least make it consistently useful to yourself in a match.
I love the .96 gal decal. Splash wall is the perfect sub and kraken is good in a pinch - though I'd much prefer bubbler

Alright, I'm out for now, bedtime (if I'm able to sleep after that, geez). I'll start adding more GAF-folks tomorrow probably, I really gotta step my game up. The Nozzlenose isn't my "main" exactly, but it's one I've wanted to improve with.
So many builds having access to squid beakons is starting to get pretty irritating!
Oh yeah, I've gone through everything, I have enough experience at the game itself. My issue is kinda twofold I guess:
1. My execution (aim) seems to get wildly inconsistent, even within any given match. With things like the L-3 and Splattershot it's felt like sometimes I zone-in and get really on point, whereas other times I'll completely flounder in almost any encounter because of easily-missed shots. There's no real warning when that comes and goes.
2. I play the game with the mental capacity of a shrew, sometimes. Situations where the moment I'm dead I already know exactly what I should have done differently. Applying those lessons hasn't exactly taken yet, I guess.

For the record, my post wasn't agreeing with the rollers needing nerfs. Just addressing why they are strong and why they're as common as they are. They're easy to use due to not requiring much accuracy, well more the non-Carbon Roller rollers since they have a good range.
Ehh, you're using hard to use weapons and a weapon that you don't have a lot of time with. Don't worry about it.

I just don't think the charger is for you yet, you need a lot more time with it.
I blame all the squid beacons. But yeah it's lagging bad. Gonna take a break.

Ugh, worst night of Turf War ever. I couldn't find a decent set of teammates for anything. Level 20s making awful newbie mistakes like solo invading the enemy base on Bluefin Depot when we don't even have the middle secure yet. And how the heck does a roller accumulate a mere 112 points over the course of a 3-minute match?
I did have one awesome teammate for 2 matches in a row, who really knew how to use the Splash Wall, for everything from pushing the enemy back to protecting teammates who were super jumping into a hotzone.
Won 2 out of 12 rounds. I think it's time to call it a night.

There was some serious lag, but it's not like I was using the weapon right anyway lol
Vivii is super laggy for me, like 5+ seconds delay and swimming through our team's ink
or maybe I might be lagging, who knows

Wow Splash/Spoosh wins!
all the knockback is concentrated in the shotgun blasts and they're insufficient compared to rapid-fire for keeping kraken away

I can actually keep krakens away if they jump too much though.
Ah she left so it'll improve. I miss my scope charger already.
You killed me 5 seconds from the past lmao

Wow this splooshamatics damage output is crazy
You're annoyingly accurate with your disruptor at least.
Hahaha. Liberal use of disruptors is pretty much my main strategy with...any weapon that uses a disruptor. Maybe I'll try switching the Nozzlenose out for a Blaster and see how that goes. L-3's range is handy at times but I tend to panic and falter when confronted close and that was ruining me against the Sploosh. Maybe going blaster will at least help me train my thinking more toward spacing and discipline. Ultimately I'll probably still wind up back with the .96, it's always been my most consistent scorer.

2 seconds is still an eternity, but surelet's be real - it's more like ~1.5-2 seconds
