WHY THE **** WOULD THEY DO THAT TO MY BEAUTIFUL SPLASH WALL

Honestly, we can't tell how much the strafing speed makes a difference. @Nintendome better get to making a squid science video on it.

Not so happy about the E-Liter nerf :/ (I'm an E-Liter user, in case you couldn't guess x'D ) But I guess I'll try to roll with what others have said about "their" weapon nerfs, I'll try to see how it works out and how I will be able to work with it. I just became friends with my E-liter relatively recentlly, I don't actually want to switch it out for a different Charger. I'll just press on, somehow.
Will also have to see how the Inkzooka changes work out. Of course they had to do this right in the middle of my Octoshot run...

But yes, hooray for Blaster nerfs, these things seriously needed some changes.

Yeah I'm actually fine with that Roller nerf, feared it's hitbox might be reduced to the size of a normal bullet so thank goodness that's not the case! Still woulda liked an Inkstrike buff for my Slosher but whatever. :L

Thanks for that, I've heard people talking about map changes but I had no idea where to find the info about that. Until now. lol

This update is definitely going to shake things up.

Hopefully, things will work out.

as long as the splash wall stays nerfed, things will never work out

IT'S TIME FOR A GODDAMNED RIOT ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ﾉ

Whoa there.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.

The Luna Blaster is basically dead after this patch...damage AND Inkzooka nerf is just too much

 

[Brunosky_Inc]

Overall, I am super excited to see some change in this format and I think overall it will make the weapon variety increase rather than seeing 2/3 walls, eliter, tenta.

Excuse me, I think this Splash Wall user missed the memo. Since when did 2/3 of players use weapons with Splash Walls?

I'll have to change my .52 Gal game a little, but I'll stay loyal to the little guy.

It can still 1-hit splat and covers a large area, so I don't see the "ruined forever!" fear for that weapon.

Nah, but the Neo version will definitely be the better of the two.

Hmm... I didn't think about that, and on top of the fact that Ink Mines are already pretty weak the Luna did actually got nerfed pretty hard...

I guess its just something I'll have to deal with then, the Luna will still be useable though. lol

Well ,other Blasters offer a 1-hit splat too...and more range AND a better special...so I don't see a good reason to use it anymore. And yeah,the Neo version is better then considering the special but still less range

No more crutch for you ;)

Uh hello where have you been? Every top clan plays either double 96 or 96, 52 combo. You dont always see the 3rd one but it does happen but you pretty much always see the 2.

 

[Brunosky_Inc]

Oh right, clans. Not a competitive scene follower, so I'm just going from what I see in the wild.

 

[Demonic Labrys]

but hey doesn't having something nerfed will allow the user of those weapons or specials will have to adjust to the change
i have too with the Octoshot and Octobrush
mainly i might use the kraken for defense than offense
the inkzooka i see why it was nerfed but it still won't stop me using my octoshot

Not having a dead zone enemys can just rush inside and easily kill you is a pretty significant advantage, as is the higher fire rate especially since Blasters are gonna have to 2HKO more often now. Debateable as to which specials are better, but aside from Inkstrike all Blasters have good ones so that doesn't really matter.

Well I've noticed in the higher ranks (more commonly between A+ to S+) I've seen a lot more players use weapons with Splash Walls in both solo and squad ranked matches.
