I immediately think of three simple reasons for why run speed is good on a certain selection of weapons, the ones you're thinking of. 1. Dodging. Like SupaTim was saying, people in S/S+ really don't have perfect aim. If you surprise attack someone, sure, you can probably stand still and make...

The way I see it, when you compare scoped to non-scoped, there are the pros they have over each other: Scoped A little extra range. Capable of more precision while zooming in. A good visual way to get a feel for how much you must charge to get OHKOs. You'll get a feel of, like, when the...

Other than damage up, you'll also like having more damage up and even more damage up. When you have that, you should try to get a lot more of ... OK, OK, you don't actually need three mains and nine subs of damage up. For the Splatterscope(regular or Kelp), I tend to use one main and six subs of...

Well, your special charges up if the rainmaker shield's explosion colours a lot of neutral/enemy turf. Try going to the rainmaker shield in recon and blow it up with your main weapon without inking anything on the way there, you'll see that you'll get a huge amount of special charged up that...

As much as I'd love regional matchmaking - and have been saying so since the release of the game - it is a concept that is better in theory than in practice. If there were enough players of every rank in every region, and everyone had great internet connections, it would be fantastic. But that...

In my school a few years ago, there were two guys named Nikki. Now you have heard of two.

We can only apologize about the disconnect in that second game. The player who usually hosts on our side(with a god tier connection) wasn't present for this tournament, and we hadn't discussed who should host on our side in his absence. I don't know how the conversation between you and our...

Special saver is amazing, but situational. Of course "it's useless if you don't die" is a true statement, but there's much more to it than that. It depends very much on the combination of game mode and weapon, wether special saver should be valued or not. These are examples of questions and...

I love customization, I've spent a major chunk of my time in WoW the last few years just working on transmog sets(which is customization of the gear appearance). That being said, when I read this question, my first thought was exactly what Vitezen has said here. Not a lot of people "scout" the...

Shoot a charger twice and it's dead. Of course you can kill chargers, but the issue is that they usually stand far away from the front line, which means you have to overextend before you can shoot at the charger, putting yourself in great danger. Other weapons are better equipped to handle that...

Not that it's bad, but I wouldn't call it outstanding. Dynamos tend to abuse their range or obstacles, both of which can be an issue for the Rapid Blaster. Against a visible Dynamo, I'd prefer something with longer range and more mobility; splash wall is very helpful as well. But an E-Liter on...

I would say that the Rapid Blaster Deco's main job is to protect your turf/side of the map. As long as you stay at a distance inside your own ink, you can slowly push the border from range and use your suction bombs as zoning tools. If you stand right next to enemy ink, you open yourself up to...

On the contrary, the Bamboozler actually has slightly longer range than the Squiffer, and can reach it without charging(not that it takes long). However, it shoots much thinner lines than other chargers, that's why its coverage is so poor. Also, neither its sub nor its special does anything for...

The Rapid Blaster is definitely not as bad as many people think. I've been playing all blasters a lot lately, and I figured that tonight was the time to try some Rapid Blaster Deco; because while I've played a little bit of the regular Rapid Blaster, the Deco had been left at probably <2000...

That's odd, I've experienced it the other way around. Weeks ago, hardly anyone wanted to hold the rainmaker, so I brought my swim speed up gear and carried it a lot. In most recent games(but not all), people have rushed to grab the rainmaker before me; so I've just started to play other gear and...
