I recently started using the krak on roller in ranked after seeing someone talk about it in another thread, and I made this really long post on there, I'm going to just paste some of that in here to give some ideas about how I played with it. A disclaimer, I'm a B+ player that normally uses the...

I had that same feeling, so I stopped using the stick controls, but the other day I went back and tried them out to figure exactly what it was about them that threw me off. I just now went and played Battlefield Hardline to compare the controls. The problem I ran into is how the sensitivity on...

It's not great for that strategy since you want the high ground. When I used the elitr 3k on walleye I would camp along the back hallway and poke my head out on top of the fence flooring to shoot. There's also the crates with the planks on top of them, but enemies can easily get up to you there...

In splat zones, try camping off to the sides of the zone and shooting in from there. I find it's a lot easier to stay alive and allow teammates to jump to you when you're over there. In turn war, it really depends on what weapons you like to use. If you have a ranged weapon try to get the height...

In my experience, the stick controls in Splatoon are inferior. Not because motion controls are inherently better or anything, moreso because they did a bad job of designing them. I started off with stick controls, and had a lot of trouble aiming, the stick controls are way too touchy and that...

Yeah I get where you're coming from. I've won on an all roller team in turf wars, and with a team that had 3 rollers in splat zones, but with a competent enemy team that isn't going to happen often. I feel like the game does have some sort of algorithm for who gets put on what team, but it...

Range is always a potential issue though. The aerosprays are good at painting, but they aren't necessarily good at holding areas, which is key to winning in turf war. I mean sure, you get the players on the losing team using the aerospray that have a higher score than even the top of the winning...

I think the roller has been popular since before the game came out. I remember it being the weapon that everyone used in the testfires. A lot of people flock to the kraken roller just for the special, but the beacon sub is a very useful tool. It's the reason I use the kraken roller over the...

I don't think that makes them too strong. The whole point of the aerospray is that it shoots faster but has very limited range. The fact that it can get kills with less attention to aiming is completely balanced by the limited range that makes it unable to hit far off players. Aerosprays are...

Nah, you had that one in the bag. What went wrong?

Free for all modes could be fun, I don't think having a turf war or deathmatch variant would work well with splatoon though, both in theme and gameplay. I could see something like free for all splat zones with multiple zones, owning a single zone gives a small amount of points, owning more than...

Saltspray is actually one of my favorite maps. I've just started to have trouble with it now that I'm essentially forcing myself to use all the different weapons in ranked. As a roller I want to get back to the crane and spam my beacons all over, but that can be hard without my teammates...

It depends on which weapons I'm using, but I can say that saltspray seems to be the map that I have the most trouble on overall. When I have the jet squlecher that map is fine, but I've found that when I'm using the roller and have teammates with the squelcher, they have no idea what they're...

I wouldn't say it's over used, it's simply the best roller kit that the game has, in my opinion anyway. Not only for the kraken ability, but also for the beacons, which are very useful in both turf war and splat zones. The dynamo rollers are really slow, so it's hard to do much of use with them...
