True, but every wep has advantages over others. in the charger's case it can be pretty effective at keeping people a decent distance away. in this way it may be able to cover/protect turf better than a splattershot could. also remember there are other teammates that could be that splattershot player! this stuff is all map/opponent dependent too, so we'll see and yeah it'll be interesting to see how things pan out
well i mean, long range weapons have always been good for area denial and shutting down players but that doesn't always mean that they can compete with the other options available to you. i'm pretty indifferent to the state of chargers (at least much more than i used to be) so don't take me saying that as "chargers won't be good," they're just an unconventional choice that may or may not turn out to be effective. either way, their place in the meta will be very shakey and i think they're going to be very exciting weapons to watch and utilize
I really hope myself as well as all the other Charger players are able to make this weapon type viable in competitive play. The auto-firing weapons are a huge bore to use, since they require much less accuracy and skill when compared to the Charger.
Bore? Pshh, they're the best of the three types. I prefer a mid-range skirmish rather than a long-range snooze fest or a close-range bear trap. But all joking aside, the Chargers will be great to have around in competitive play. A long range sniping will keep up the pressure when used in tandem with where your team moves forward. What I'm wondering is if anyone will use the Roller. In Splat Zones, I've seen only one person use the roller, not the greatest...
I agree. Chargers have a lot of potential in competitive play.
There's no doubt about that, and that's what I mean. They're boring because they're so easy to use. Anyone can wreck shop with just the standard Splattershot Jr. and Bubbler. It doesn't present that much of a challenge.
