Splatoon 2 Nerfs and Buffs

[The Salamander King]

Not if you're already running swim speed and the diminishing effects don't really matter.

If you're already running swim speed why would you need to run more to try and reproduce QR?

I miss the old Stealth Jump.
That's about all I have for nerf/buffs really lol.
Side note, does anyone know around how many Main Abilities (or 3x Sub) you can stack before the diminishing return isn't worth it?

It depends on the ability.

The Flingza doesn't need more painting it needs a rework.
If the kit wasn't so much fun for me i would have never used it.
Basically the flingza gets slightly more painting range with its vertical swing but the trade off is swinging so much slower than the splatroller. The kill range difference is barley noticeable.

Something like Marth tipper might work. Strong at the tip of the vertical swing weak elsewhere.

Buffs:

.96 Gal/.96 Gal Deco - increase accuracy

If we’re allowed to just put our own buff recommendations here:

Stealth Jump: BRING BACK OLD STEALTH JUMP!!!

Splash Wall: Has 1.5x the HP, and squids under it regenerate ink 2x as fast as normal. This makes it not suck.

Welding Mask (the gear): At the beginning of the match, you can jump out of a plane to anywhere on the map. However, as a downside, you must find ammo and weapons scattered around the map instead of starting with them normally.

I'm waiting for the Welding Mask meta. I swear, it has to be sleeper OP!

I like all the real buffs tho. They don't fall into the "it's necessary for it to be good category" and they aren't gamebreaking. Just nice little things to further balancing.
