Reeflux is really fun if you don't play like a paintbot #splatoon3

They turned it into a paintbot by nerfing it's damage significantly, they explicitly say you need to be closer than usual to fight now.

All because they think the shield is too strong.
Too. Strong.

Undercover got another very tiny buff that probably won't do anything, again. Heavy got its paint nerfed which is good because that weapon being a paintbot was not the answer to making it more viable the paint spam NEEDED to be toned back... even though they didn't touch V96 at all.

subtractive manufacturing of a chatbot/paintbot

which its often paired against in high level environments. Boosting the passive stats of Flingza would feel lame when there’s other aspects that could realistically aid Flingza to being more than a paintbot+special spammer.

I thought we lost cool sloshing machine EQ to boring paintbot EQ then 💔

I think kraken gives heavy something it actually needs to be seen but people just wanna play towards this thing being a paintbot so much that I think it's limiting. If any progress is going to be made with heavy, is going to be with deco, otherwise its dead. This is a huge tldr

I’m a carbon 1 trick and I pocket big swig cuz I like it and vshot for to paintbot if I’m playing 8s or subbing and we need a support. I play carbon in 99.9% of competitive environments

Imo shot is infinitely more fun than splash... if you're on a comp where you're allowed to play aggro. When I need to truly paintbot, I enjoy nsplash a little bit more (and vsplash a lot bit more).

i play chargers so i pretty much have to have hit every shot or i feel like im weighing my team down and when i play pen i can only paintbot (for zones) and my teammates ignore my coolers :’)

Same for how threatening pencil can be if it pushes into a more aggro position. It's very effective at playing off its teammates but it feels like people just think it's a paintbot.

brushes have more reliance on game sense than pure mechs, so having the circumcised carbon roller give you super inconsistent effectiveness when you rely on planning more than mechs is quite frustrating! so taking it into comp is not satisfying unless you have a paintbot teammate & ninja squid brain

Honestly I'm starting to be really glad they nerfed pencil the way they did. Now I feel like it's way more worth picking for its fighting power than it is just to use as a paintbot and I think that's where the weapon is at its coolest.

My main issue with the strike kit was always that strikes was low synergy and felt like it stilted the flow of brella (especially if you just paintbot for strikes).

However what it actually does really nice is main weapon uptime imo. I think that because it charges strike so fast you actually

i feel the same way w/ explo.. like yes zones is its best mode but it tends to play extremely objective focused, anchored, and paintbot-y in sz. other modes it of course still anchors and paints but theres much more opportunity for variety in the gameplay.. and its fun to figure out the complexities

Like s3 really wants you to feed constantly and put up fights and it can hurt the game massively (not always). S2 was to slow, stally, paintbot spam specials. Like DO NOT INTERACT!

I like ttek, I personally think it’s a healthy support weapon at low level, where I am. It has decent skill expression, it’s flexible and it doesn’t feel bad to fight against. Nsplash is an annoying paintbot and I think the world would be better off without it.
