When I got the game, I thought the N-Zap was really neat and spent a lot of time practicing with the carbon roller, thinking I'd be a close-range fighter. Then I tried the jet squelcher and WHOOPS I'm exclusively a long-range fighter now.
I started off with medium-long range and went down to medium-low range, so yeah *shrug*

I used to think Aerosprays were OP as hell, but now I think that they are easy to kill

I changed my mind about long-ranged shooters like the squelcher. I'm still pretty bad with them, but i'm learning and they're pretty fun!

- i thought that the new squiffer was better than the classic
- i thought the squiffer was great at inking

- for a while i thought i "didn't need" ink res up on the squiffer
- just last week i thought mahi mahi SZ was trash. now i think it's just meh.

I used to not care for Hammerhead Bridge much. I found it had nothing unique to offer as a map, and that its structure was just boring. But I've come to really enjoy it for Turf War and Splatzones. In turf, I notice most of the games are pretty close, which are the best kind to me, and I like the way the zone is positioned. Rainmaker is fine there, but it's nothing special, but I don't care for TC on the map.

It's a map where I feel many different play styles are welcome. Short, long, and medium range weapons are effective there, which is always welcome. Though carbon rollers legitimately scare me here. They have so many places to hide and assassinate you from. :scared:

I went something like "Scopes are for scrubs! Wait, nevermind, they’re actually pretty good. But actually no, they’re bad because you can’t see around you. But oh, oops, they actually give you longer range, so nevermind." Also used to think the Gold Dynamo was the best Dynamo before the Tempered came out. Now I consider the Gold Dynamo the weakest of the three.

I used to think that weapons that didn't spam ink everywhere like the Aerospray were bad for turf wars and found any other weapon hard to use for the longest time. (But honestly, I think that's normal for all newbies.) I maxed out the turf inked for it pretty quickly. After gaining experience and trying out other weapons, I've found that my battle style has changed and I'm no longer to use the Aerospray like I used to. I used to not have a care in the world when I was being echolocated or when a point sensor was thrown at me and thought the echolocator was a useless special weapon. Now I wish someone on my team will always have an echolocator. And oddly enough, I cared about abilities more back then than I do now. For the longest time I didn't know how to properly manage my ink consumption and would spam the crap out of ink saver main, thinking it was the superior ability. Nowadays I'm able to use weapons that consume a lot of ink without any ink saver whatsoever and I couldn't care less about my abilities. There's probably more weird things I used to think, but I can't think of anything else at the moment. XD

Like everyone here i used to think Aero RG was fantastic way back when i was in C/B ranks. Nowadays i think of it as one of the worst weapons in the entire game for many, many reasons. The only thing i didn't change my mind on that people were dissing on chargers as underpowered when really they took time to learn, which you just couldn't do in the testfire.

More recently, i thought the Squiffer was seriously underrated when really it's kind of underwhelming. It's not so much that the sets hold it back, it's that it can never apply damage up to make it deadly at short ranges, making it straight-up inferior to the bamboo.

I used to think blasters don't really require skill of any kind, nowadays i think they require a lot of practise especially the range blasters. Sloshers are still super easy to use though.

Except the Luna. Don't get me wrong the Luna can be used well, but it's the easiest in my opinion out of all the blasters. However, I personally think the Grim Range Blaster is the best. Burst bombs are just really good with a blaster because of it's fire rate and it's the only one that has them. I also didn't think the rapid blaster and the pro versions were good, but I never realized how much damage up helped it. I was sure I even got one shotted a couple times even though I didn't step foot in the enemy's ink.

I never thought I'd touch the Bamboozler... in short, it's almost the polar opposite of the Tri-Slosher, my most-used weapon. But hey - I just unlocked it on my Charger alt and I'm having fun! Honestly, it's so relaxing not to have to risk my life every time I want to attack an opponent, I'm willing to take the time to learn to aim.

I changed my mind about the Inkzooka. I used to hate it, but after some tips from you guys on Squidboards, I think I've (kinda) gotten the hang of it!
Aerospray MG is now my favorite TW weapon.

I changed my mind about the Squid Sisters, honestly. I used to only like Marie, but recently I realized I like them both alot! The only problem is I guess i'm not too fond of the NoA translation- But either way their designs and a lot of the fanart is amazing! I really adore the art of them getting along outside of splatfests and whatnot, showing that they don't actually hate eachother or anything.

Speaking of those two - when they were first shown in the Splatoon Direct prior to the game's release, I was kind of scared of them. Dunno, something about their eyes, I guess? But that's totally changed now.

Sloshers. I almost never used them in my first few months of play and found them to be unwieldly and ink consuming. Once I started an alt to keep my son or nephew from down ranking me I discovered I'd gotten better with it and it is now my best and fav weapon
