One of my good friends has played Splatoon since 2015. Carbon Deco one trick the whole time. Loved Splatoon 1 and wants to enjoy the others but they haven't felt the same. Still, he and I play at every Splatfest and some challenges even if he's enjoying them less. Lately he's had more fun with 3 than he ever has before and all it took was him changing the weapon he's using to...the vanilla Carbon.
Love to see it.
