Special Tier List 6.1 (SZ Only)

[BismarckMech]

Is this before or after 6.1.0?

It's for 6.1.0 as it is the current patch, if you're asking for when this was made in relation to the release of the patch then it's after.

I don't play comp so I might be misinformed but chumps can be good if used well! It has good paint and can help neutralize the zone in bad situations. Also good when teammates can coordinate with it

They are weak not because of power but because of their 4 second explosion time. They can waste a lot of time trying to shoot them down if they land on the Zone but of the time they end up doing nothing, because you have all the time in the world to react.

The problem with Chumps isn't that they don't do much, there's a decent amount of things they do, mainly just paint and some HP shielding, it's just that just about every other special also does more. Being able to quickly get paint on the zone and maybe deal chip damage if the enemy doesn't shoot enough of them just isn't that good of a strength when you have something like crab tank or tristrikes which paint the zone, force the enemy to move and do something imediately, and in the case of crab tank will be almost guaranteed to get as much if not more chip damage in than chumps would.

I appreciate having tierlists at all, but as a low level player its a bit weird to see top level players only post things in zones only formats. We're expected to do all 4 modes for all but a few tourneys afaik, and then you look up to the top levels and they're focusing on 1... just odd to me

I may or may not have once lost a match because a person in our team hid half the opponents from us with a poorly-timed Splattercolour Screen...

I imagine it doesn't have the same potential to backfire in a coordinated enviroment, but I definitely feel vindicated to see it's not great there either~

this makes me so happy. a conversation like this would never happen on twitter

I’m surprised to see zip in the same tier as rain and booyah. What makes you put it in the same tier as those?

What is the reasoning behind strikes? I feel like the super strong "Death on touch" makes it good for displacement, and also it can be used to flip the zone in a pinch. It ain't no bazooka, but it feels like it's at the very bottom of A tier imo.

slider, atleast in solo is minimum B tier. cheesing the zone and being able to control the pace of the match is super valuable imo

 

[brik]

Vac? What happened with Vac that made it rise so much?

Wouldnt be suprised if its because you can vac cheese zone, + you can vac a zone and then you can just fight for it back idrk besides those tbh

Imo, I think zip is a little to inconsistent with value to be that high, and I think splashdown still has a ultra small niche for trades so I think it could maybe move up a tier, rest is basically what I would say

trades harm your team more than they harm the other team imo

Thanks, sorry I didn’t see that
