I do actually. I've been trying to use the Goo Tuber, but it really sucks.

>>386560040
I've killed a whopping one person with it despite using a it a ton. The blast radius on it is shit, the time it takes to go off is ridiculous, and it gets destroyed without inking anything if the enemy paints anywhere near it.

Like, imagine if you could just spray any other bomb with ink and it no longer explodes even when thrown at your feet and about to go off.

The Ink Mine isn't a bomb anymore, it's a point sensor. Although it does give off a small explosion, its main function is to alert you when the enemy advances past a certain point. Also you can lay two simultaneously.

>>386560976
For shooters, I prefer having movement and the Jet Squelcher doesn't have that much while firing. It's pretty slow. Still leveling up to get a scope.

>>386564594
Charge store is barely a benefit, and scopes are generally better for their range advantage. The removal of killing with a partial charge was a huge blow to chargers. Now you have to full charge for every kill and focus on single targets. When every other one-hit kill weapon in the game doesn't need to wait more than a second to be lethal.

>>386564271
I'm far better with chargers in this game than I ever was in the first. Can hold my own and get 15+ kills with the E-Liter in S+ and I don't even use them hardly ever.

Never post it again

>>386564928
And its intended play style is shit in this game. For a game about painting the map, chargers do a piss-poor job at it. There were literally 0 good chargers last game that didn't run damage.

>>386564271
>lying on an anonymous image board

>>386565139
The problem with most chargers is they think they're supposed to camp one or two spots the entire match. A good charger moves everywhere and can ink a decent amount while scaring opponents away and getting kills.

How is hack_me if I'm a programmer?
Will it trigger my balls or will it be fun?

>>386565139
>For a game about painting the map, chargers do a piss-poor job at it.
by just sidestrafing and mashing you can paint a block of turf faster then most shooters, after clearing a point its generally good for other weapons to push further as the charger paints it in less then 5 seconds
I don't care what rank you say you are I doubt you've ever been on a competitive team

A charger playing that aggressively might as well just play a blaster.

>>386564662
So fucking what. Their range is still insane so every time you hit someone they fucking die. There's so many inkjet fags and they're easy targets. People don't know how to fight against a charger.

>>386565406
bkub posters should have been gassed a long time ago.

>>386565485
Range doesn't mean shit when you get rushed down and can't paint. This game's map design doesn't really allow for a sniper to sit in a single spot for the entire game.

>>386565431
>A charger playing that aggressively might as well just play a blaster.
I know what you're saying, chargers were always split between aggressive chargers and standoffish chargers and you were the later so thats why you're upset with the changes, but please understand blaster is honestly slower and chargers are plenty viable.

>>386565698
I still played fairly aggressive because I mostly played Kelp and didn't have the range advantage, but I understand that my role could have easily just been filled by a Range Blaster. It gets the same one-shots, with no charge time, and with more forgiveness.

>>386565601
>when you get rushed
That means you missed them, you noob

>>386565925
All of the maps in 2 have plenty of flank routes.

>>386566131
As a charger you can't be bumrushed. Always keep an out where the enemies are and you'll always kill them from a distance. You should always ink some of their turf so it takes time for them to get to you. Even in close quarters you have the advantage because you charger kills them instantly.

>>386566235
>As a charger you can't be bumrushed
Sure you can. Even on Splat 1's shitty maps it was possible.

>>386565909
>I mostly played Kelp
Why would you do this? Bombs are almost necessary for chargers as the can use them to guide your opponents.

>>386566298
That's not what they meant. They weren't saying it was impossible to be bumrushed, but that you can't allow it to happen.

>>386566415
I liked the wail spam. I played E-Liter and vanilla charger too, but most of my time was spent on Kelp.

>cowardly sniper being upset they removed his cowardly playstyle
chargers were never intended to be like traditional snipers in other games, you were always supposed to push as charger

>>386566667
But removing partial charges makes it so you have to sit at max range and hardscope.

>>386559419
This was settled literal years ago.

>>386565601
I disagree, its pretty hard to ambush a charger in splatoon if he has good situational awareness. A charger shouldn't be anywhere close to enemy ink, and the moment you start moving that ink up he should be aiming for that or backing off.

>>386567523
It's pointless when everyone can just see where you are to begin with.

>>386567854
I respectively disagree and don't believe your base of evidence is applicable.

You can't really play the "you know nothing about competitive!" card here when Rezb1t says chargers are shit here too.

>>386568162
I like the goo tuber because you can do crazy style kills with it by jumping off of shit.
The flingza roller is just fun to use in general, it makes it feel like your vertical fling is your primary weapon and the normal fling is a shot gun secondary.
I haven't unlocked the crash blaster but I tried it in salmon run and it seams fun.
I can't wait to try the two new classes that aren't out yet.
I don't like the dualies personally.

>>386568208
>2. What do you like best, anon
+2.5 sensitivity for me

>>386568482
The Clash Blaster basically a faster firing Rapid Blaster that does shit-all damage. 60 on a direct hit and 30 splash damage. That means 2 direct hits, 4 indirect hits, or 1 direct hit and 2 indirect hits. The explosion isn't huge either.

>>386568162
All of the new weapons were founded exclusively on a gimmick. It just so happens that the Dualies have a useful gimmick.

>>386568479
>when Rezb1t says chargers are shit
I don't know who that is but if I know anything about the jew tubers for my other shooters they're often right but not always 100% correct.
I've witnessed personalities like star_ massively change tf2's balance just by throwing a few opinions out there but the thing is, he's good at the game but not anything more then a pub-star and some of his ideas were total bull. He played some competitive but was never actually a top seed and yet despite that whatever he said was regarded as fact among his viewers.
Look man, Splatoon 2 is fairly new. You can't just definitively say what's shit especially not to such a broad class. Here's another thing, you'll never see these e-personalities go back on their word, if they have an opinion even if they get proven wrong they'll keep saying it. You shouldn't regard it as definitive fact. Trust me I've seen this before.

>>386569297

Dualie Squelchers at least require you to aim and outmanuever/outplay your opponent. Lunar Blaster also has a good deal of weaknesses, especially its short range.
Neither of those weapons come even close to being as garbage as trislosher and octobrush.

For what purpose? Shit only activates if you don't kill anyone. Replace it with refill or ink saver, main or otherwise.

Ha Ha HA Pearl Is So Fucking Ugly..........

>>386574941
The regular one? Probably sub and special saver to use more burst bombs and to use your splashdown sooner after dying.

Anyway, I love gyro even more than a mouse sometimes.
