Regardless, arguing your point is. . . pointless, as I've decided to give up on this project due to one, a lack of support. I'll admit I went about it wrong, but people went about making it known the wrong way, crushing any form of confidence I had in writing this.
Two, crap like this will happen where people are so set on one weapon and their opinion of it and refuse to see the hole they dig for themselves. This applies to both of us.
Three, People will think they are more knowledgeable despite having nothing to back it and automatically mean that is enough for their nomination to happen.
And Four, it's time consuming. Lol
It was inevitable. Your thread isn't the first tier list to crash and burn and it won't be the last. Pros will be the ones who actually establish a tier list (assuming Splatoon even needs one). I mean come on, Splatoon doesn't even have a meta (that I'm aware of) so how can you even make a tier list when their are no clearly defined rolls? There is a huge difference between an A+ level assassin weapon and an A+ level support weapon.
Anyway, debating was fun and all but I think I'm as done with this thread as you are.
Not related at all to your argument, but FLC has actually changed his mind about his stance on the Krak On roller after seeing the Japanese players just steamroll (punz) everyone using it in Inkstorm.
I'll have to check them out, it's always interesting to see great off meta plays. Yesterday I found this amazing Japanese Sploosh player! It's crazy what some people can do.
Though it probably won't change my mind, one team that utilizes it well doesn't imply it's more viable than other weapons. There are chargers that play with sticks and do pretty well! but I'd never personally advocate it.
(If you had a link to a game, I would much appreciate it!)
Here's my stance on the Kraken Roller; If you know hoe to use it, assassinating everyone, getting kills, trading etc, then you are set as a suicide attacker. The Krakon Roller though, shares the problem of most people arent very good with it. The Inkstorm players were gods with it, lets not deny anything. I still think it's outdone by the Splat Roller because range, but that doesnt mean the Krakon Roller isnt a terrible weapon. As FLC said in one of his streams "You can play any weapon like a Krak-On Roller and still do well with it"
I agree with you that any weapon can be used well, but of course this is a tier list thread so if we are going by that philosophy we might as well rip up the tier list. Which for Splatoon might not be a bad idea. Tier lists can sometimes flip on their heads to.
Like in Smash Bros Melee. where Captian Falcon was considered bottom tier, but than a pro player figured out some interesting things they could do with him and Captian Falcon became top tier.
Who knows, maybe years from now every pro team will have an Inkbrush or Aerospray because the high amount of inking becomes an assest despite low kill potential. May seem far fetched, but stranger things have happened.
