if you aren't using the wall for cover weapons that outrange you will still outrange you. throwing up a wall and then walking in front of that wall has 1. wasted ink and 2. given your opponent an opportunity to shoot you down or throw a bomb at your wall and kill you. Like what are you even trying to say? what in the world kind of player will shoot at your wall when they can see you charging up a shot??? I can't even understand the point you're trying to make, maybe if you were a roller with a OHKO then you could use the wall as bait, but you aren't a roller your ttk is actually rather high.I said nothing about having problems with those weapons. I simply said they out range the Splatling. What part of "you're not going to get to just take my wall down" do you not get? No one throws a wall and lies down belly up. . . They're going to take you down while you try to take it out, force you into a corner, flank you from a different location, or you're going to get out of there. Either way, the Splash Wall has done its job. It's as simple as that.
You're right, you don't need to throw up a wall to get away from a Kraken, but if you don't have swim speed up, and they do, they can catch you. A Splash wall stops them in their tracks and gives you a way out. And no, it takes two Kraken attacks to take down a wall. That is a decent chunk of time. More than enough to get your butt out of there. AKA, the wall has done its job.
And That is not the ONLY time a wall will save you. Lol, you are so sure of yourself, it's adorable. There is a reason there are so many Splash Walls up in tour matches man. . . If you know what the hell you're doing with your wall, you should not be going down first. Simple as that.
Krakens will not catch you if you swim to the sides, the swim speed only comes into account when you are both swimming in a straight line.
Also what the heck is a tour match?? Are you referring to tournaments? Because the only real big tournament since the patch was bb3 and the amount of .96 deco's was definitely lower. not to mention how there were close to, if not zero splatlings. and .96 decos have an easier time utilising their wall bc they have a fast ttk and don't need to charge up, not even a little bit. splash walls don't synergize well with a weapon like the splatling, not anymore at least.
whereas point sensors complement the long range and are ink cheap. Plus you're special isn't total crap.
