Quick respawn has made the different between a win and a loss multiple times online for me. Feels good to be able to play somewhat recklessly and jump right back into the fray...when it's safe ofcourse lol.

Signed up for the GAFHouse 3 tourney. Let's do this! =D
It's useful if you're pushing very hard and incurring a lot of casualties. It's particularly useful in TC and rainmaker.
I do agree that Swim Speed can in some ways replace Quick Respawn, but Quick Respawn is still useful in itself.
But looking at abilities head-to-head, while useful in understanding their mechanics, belies that the best strategy is often to synergize rather than stack. If you want to get back to fights quickly, the best way isn't to go 3x Quick Respawn, but 1x Quick Respawn, 1x Quick Superjump, and 1x Swim Speed. Similarly, if you're inefficient in ink, I believe you can get more mileage out of 1x Ink Saver Main, 1x Ink Saver Sub, 1x Ink Saver Recovery than any stacking of one individual skill. If you want to move fast, you need both Run and Swim Speed. And if you're out there trading hits with shooters at higher levels, it's best to bring Damage Up and Defense Up together to have an edge.
Though I stand by my contention that there is no inherent negative correlation between popularity and skill, I'm getting a feeling I may have underestimated the popularity of Team Nice. But I actually always pick what is true for me personally, and this one is as tough as burgers vs. pizza. Leaning naughty.

Tournament Format:
Rules:
Hopefully that's not too complicated lol Let me know if there is any problems with that but I think it should work out. Round Robin should take about 1 hour to complete, and then finals about 30 minutes.
Sign ups will stay open until it starts, but after teams get posted you'll be put on the 'reserve' list. I aim to have captains/teams ready by tomorrow.

I think a defeatist attitude underlies taking Quick Respawn. You're basically expecting to die a lot so you feel like you need to take Quick Respawn to make up for that. It's better to take a proactive ability like Ink Saver or Special Charge Up, which will help you play even better and, presumably, not die very often, eliminating the need for Quick Respawn.
Then you run into people with this level of play under their belt AND ass loads of Quick Respawn and hate yourself for a varying duration of time. :lol
Defeatist attitude? That's a bit extreme. More than anything it's a different play style or a fail safe.
I don't use Quick Respawn but it's not really a defeatist attitude imo. it just allows for a more aggressive playstyle.

I like using it in Rainmaker (along with Swim Speed Ups) because I'm usually the one carrying it, so I die a lot. I don't use it in Turf War
There are 3 main scenarios for Quick Respawn:
1. You're not dead. You can continue to wreak havoc. Quick Respawn has no effect, but not dying is the best scenario.
2. You traded with an opponent. Your team benefits more from the trade cause you can respawn faster unless the opponent used the same amount of quick respawn.
3. You get killed and don't trade with an opponent. This is a setback, but you will respawn in just under 2 seconds. And if you have Stealth Jump and have a teammate that is alive and in any position closer to the enemies, you can easily get back into the action.
It allows for aggressive play with the penalties of death being much less harsh.
Nope :/
Sadly nope. Wish it atlease had it for the plaza.
LoL
I can see using it in Rainmaker, actually. Especially if you're the only one on your team who bothers to pick up the RM and move it.

I think I like carbon deco more than tri slosher noveau :/ what the hell is that loadout lol
...and for placing Inkstrikes and Squid Beakons.
I'm actually looking forward to the new Tri-Slosher. My favourite weapon, sub and special for Rainmaker.

Admittingly enough, this loadout, while hell incarnate and pure evil, is very fun to use on Tower Control.
Especially if you slap on some Quick Super Jump and Stealth Jump
That set doesn't have comeback though.Pretty much.
Special Saver is also a godsend in rainmaker.
Being evil feels good
Oh yeah good point. Love me some special saver abusing in rainmaker too or Swim/Run speed set.

Used to use my tennis headband while I was playing Rainmaker with Roller. Right now I kinda of playing predominately Splatcharger on rainmaker so that type of build is kind of useless.
No.
Yes. Or at least put something else in E-liters' hands.
