Whichever weapon your best with (if it’s not too team reliant)

Default answer is whatever you are good at.

Historical answer is prolly squeeze/52

depends on the rank too. if you get clash early then people are gonna crumble at the lower ranks
but yeah it's definitely not to be underestimated just how much playing a weapon you're genuinely good at will help you win games

stamper, shot, 52 are probably top 3 for soloq carrying. if youre a backline or support then rip ggs

actually yeah thats very possible but at that point youd have to adjust to a support/slayer hybrid playstyle since having to carry means you cant rely on others to make game winning plays.

also stan power i like just finished csm part 1 this weekend
There isn't much of an adjustment to make tbh. Minus the build you run. cbk +1m1s of ISS and you get double fizzy, run some SCU+BPU+SPU and you're cooking. I can still crank 7 coolers a game with the recent 210p nerf, while still getting plenty of splats.

edit: csm was very nice

honestly fully disagree on stamper. that weapon is HARD, way too hard for it to be a "carry" weapon if you're trying to pick it up just to win games. took me ages to be able to consistently kill with that thing

hard but if you put in the work it does just carry so i feel like it fits the criteria

maybe i've got a different definition of a carry weapon then, cuz i figured they meant something that you can pick up and just start winning games easily without much work. stuff like tri-slosher or vshot definitely feel that way to me sometimes, but not stamper

I’m not factoring skill floor / ceiling , it’s either good or bad

Shot or 52, always been solid choices for just winning. they're simple, low skill ceiling, strong on most maps & have decent matchups across the board. Crazy popoff potential, quick kill time & decent specials.

I think the better question is what weapon can contribute to your chances of winning matches. You can try to carry all you want with most weapons but a lot of the time as we all know, we get let down by teammates.

I've played a variety of weapons and reach top 500 with multiple weapons and IMO is neo splash and squeezer. Splash as a main weapon is very easy to use(mobility & kill power) which allows you to make desperate plays and have a high chance of success literally forcing yourself to win. Squeezer has amazing range combined with kill power allows it to win all matchups, if you're not playing it you're throwing.
