Splatoon |OT4| You're a detriment to your squad

D tier:
Rapid Blaster.
Play Totakeke and say that mate.

And I obviously think squelchers are too low but I'm biased.

Heheh yesterday on my rise to A rank I played against a Jet Squelcher and kept splatting him thinking like "Get out, you're no Robotguy"

That neo urchin underpass map makes me feel like I'm using a real life roller instead of a dynamo in splatzones, without the sprinkler it'd be a mess, there's so many hitboxes that are larger than it appears that absorb the dynamo shots... Those squids must laugh at me when it occurs,and rolling with it might be the saddest thing to do in the game. :(

That tier list is silliness. Almost any weapon is viable in any mode with the right handler. Except for the Gold Aerospray, that one turns even the lowliest noob into an S+ street sweeper.

It's kind of crazy you can still squid while holding the rainmaker. Can I just squid to the goal?

Also I thought Master A1 would love being the carrier for this mode.
 

Ahahahahahahahahaha.

Octobrush B tier, Inkbrush D tier. The damn things are almost the same, one spreads ink better and moves faster but has very slightly shorter range, both kill in the same amount of real time. Gold Dynamo B tier, Dynamo D tier? Hurr durr Inkstrike best special EVAR. E-Litre 3k Scope only B tier the same as the Splatterscope? Go play ranked, then tell me they are just as good as each other.

Lists about which weapons may be advantageous to you depending on the map + game mode might be nice but since there is so much variety a tier list seems pretty foolish.

Putting the Inkbrush at the bottom of the bottom hurts even me, haha.

That and some weapons may be more effective with a team running certain setups.

Not surprising since some of the Squidboards people want everything to be like Smash.

Will QA for food.
The regular Dynamo Roller being so far below the Gold is bonkers. Depending on the mode (Splat usually Gold, TC regular), each has a very good use and it's pretty much interchangeable.

Yea, a lot of people from SquidBoards are from SmashBoards and there are many people there who love tier lists.

And yet this game is well balanced enough that tier lists are completely pointless. I mean sure, Tentatek is probably the best weapon in the game because it's so well rounded, and Rapid Blaster is probably the worst since it is outclassed in all areas, but everything is still useable.
 
I'm surprised they let you swim while carrying it though. That makes it a lot easier to get to the goal with it. Some stages will probably be altered to include more areas you're forced to walk on
I'm really surprised by that too, I assumed that you'd have to walk the entire time or it'd pretty unfair for the other team.
Uh how would you go up walls? How would that work on Bluefin Depot?

You're really slow while holding the Rainmaker though, even while swimming, so I don't think it'll be that much of a cakewalk.

The maps get changes for each mode so I thought that ramps would be added. I didn't notice at first that you see where it is at all times though so it's not as unfair as I thought.
Spyke likes to give me doubles
This is my neo splash o matic build ignore the nzap
Yeah, he's been killing me with doubles too. I give up trying to roll triples, so far all of mine have been natural spawns.

It's true, I guess they could add ramps or elevators to make depot work without swimming. I feel like wall access is a pretty key feature of depot in all other modes, so changing the map to get around that would be for the worse imo.

Rainmaker seems fast - but maybe it can turn into a same kind of tug-o-war with equal level players.

Rainmaker itself doesn't look that heavy to me though. I imagined that it should be guarded and escorted but it seems to do okay just by itself.
 
Y'all need RNGesus.

As a saint I can say with authority that this is the work of the RNGemon D:

My real fear is that Nintendo went the Capcom route and built in some Charm Table crap into the code for gear rolls. I'll be so furious if that turns out to be true :mad:
o_O those headphones... how?!
I saw a Japanese player wearing both the damage up headband with 3 damage up subs and ink up shoes with 3 ink up subs. I tried ordering both from Spike and he came back with the headband with 1 damage up unlocked and the shoes with nothing unlocked >_<

I've seen and ordered like you have and even then Spyke says "lol no"

Spent the morning kicking around loadout ideas, only to look up gear and realize that some of the specialized-skill gear have literally none of the brand affinities that I'd want. I'll either need a lot of luck, or I guess I'm waving goodbye to my dream of having Haunt with my Dualie and a Recon Sploosh. D:

Nah but for real, now that I've seen that, I'm going to start bugging you for some more stuff Boss. Specifically the Squidforce White Headband, the Splash Mob Navy LS and the Strapping Reds. Those will be the next things I attempt to fix after cash grinding.

Is this with motion or sticks?

Stick for truly accurate splaticides.

How is regular splattershot bottom C-Tier and the tentatek S-tier. Burst bomb non-believers, just wait until everyone is using burst bombs. But seriously, the burst bombs are so much better than the suction bomb, you'd have to have the slowest reflexes to dodge them. So just having an inkzooka is enough to push it all the way to the top, blasphemy.

But yes, not agree with the list at all and as people have said before; it all depends on the mode.
