How do you all think gal can be nerfed?

[Deepsink]

I think really everyone agrees it needs to be toned back against but it seems really hard to do without ruining its entire gimmick. Higher rng and slower fire rate maybe?

revert the paint buff that it got in splatoon 2 that caused a rise in kgal usage.

They could nerf its fire rate slightly. make it shoot 1/60ths of a second slower.
That would reduce time to splat. as well as reduce painting.

They could add in more Rng, while making IA reduce the Rng to make the weapon more build dependent.

yeah and it got a point for specials buff for some reason in 3 lol

I feel like a simple yet big painting nerf would make the weapon more tolerable, have the weapon focus on slaying instead of being able to kill ridiculously fast AND provide insane paint

Alright alright. We make 52 have to hit three bullets to get a kill and we rename it to 53 Gal. We take H3 Nozzlenose and make it H2 Nozzlenose and the world prospers, the land will sing once more

i think @kaasiand would enjoy dissecting this bit by bit

reduce the damage to 49 and call it the 49 gal

 

[fukagamine]

gal players always complain about their "rng" so i think giving it more rng would be pretty funny

 

[Deepsink]

I mean I dont think easy to use is bad, but easy to use and easy to get extreme results with is bad. Like X rank is absolutely dominated by it

 

[Syrupiru]

As long as the lost damage and then some goes to H3 it’s perfect

The best way in my opinion is to not decrease it's fire speed cause then its a short range .96, but to decrease ink efficiency. It is just too easy for .52 to run little ink sub efficiency, and still be able to get out a ton of shots after using ink wall.

 

[kaasiand]

give 96 gal's firerate to 52 gal, and give it a paint and rng nerf
then for the 96 gal, make its firerate even slower, make it a heavyweight, and give it 96 damage : )

thats fair, they can always throw out their wall and keep shooting for like 10 seconds which doesnt really make sense

The suggestion of making 52 a short-ranged 96 is silly, as pointed out by another poster.
I do think the ink efficiency can be tweaked. It would then need to require more care for its use, so not everybody can pick it up and use it willy-nilly.
Though I'm not sure if users requiring more ink saver would affect it in the long run/ create an impact. Probably?

Well requiring more ink saver means youll have less run speed, swim speed, ninja squid, etc

 

[Julian³]

I think gal is kind of fine right now, if it got nerfs I wouldn't complain though

 

[SplDragon]

If you equip it, it makes your Switch blow up. That seems like a fair nerf yeah?

In all seriousness uh...personally I've never had a reason to think it's in need of a major nerf, maybe a bit of an ink efficiency nerf and a small painting one would be fair

 

[GooWapa]

An ink efficiency nerf. I think the weapon being as broken as it is is funny, so make it's ink effiiciency absolute dogshit, like 15-20% ink efficiency nerf.
