l think the sploosh might be the most underrated weapon in the game. Now don't get me wrong, l'm not denying it has some serious flaws and it's far from being the best, but there's just no way it's the worst weapon in the game, worthless, impossible to use in ranked etc.
l think the problem is people expect it to be an alternative to the Tentatek or the Gals while you have to approach it as if it was the most mobile roller in the game. Because that's what it is. In the right hands this can be the scariest assassin type weapon IMO. This is a weapon that greatly benefits from movement perks, swim and walk speed up as well as faster jumps and quick respawn, because you want to be constantly on the move, zapping around the battlefield, instantly getting back into your opponents face while they thought they got rid of you for a while.
Look what a japanese S+ sploosh user can do with the weapon and then tell me it's worthless, at times l thought the video was played at twice the normal speed (WARNING: it's probably a bad idea to watch that footage if you suffer from motion sickness):
