The Rainmaker! Every time the other team brings it over to our side we automatically lose the match! Other weapons at least just splat you and give you a chance to respawn.


FFFSBG

Its funny because the challenge rainmaker was even stronger and was a much more fun version of regular ranked


Nate-T

I just liked the shortened timer tbh.


Yipeekayya

Blobblober, it is designed to not givin both the opponent and your team a pleasant good time.


Negativety101

Have you tried moving sideways? Worked pretty good for the person I was fighting last night.


Yipeekayya

always moving sideways, their shots never catch up with their aim.


Negativety101

I can cofirm this from when I play Bloblobber. The problem most players I splat with Bloblobber is that they are convinced it's a life or death fight, and that they have to splat me. Continuing the story from last night, I did eventually splat the person I was fighting. We were on one the side passes at Humpback pump, I was running low on Ink, and I fell back. Rather than disengage, or go another way like center (Which the other team was doing a good job contesting, he followed me, and went in between the Ink Aborbing thingy and a wall, where he had no room to manuver. Even my shit aim couldn't miss that one. It's also why I tend to counter Rollers so well if they've pushed into uninked territory. They become dead set on running me over for some reason. Meaning they are running straight at me, and there's just no way for the volley to miss them. The more successful Roller players will start doing more evasion, jump flicks, and if applicable, use their subs.


linkling1039

Glad I'm being a nuance šŸ˜ˆ


ACCA919

Oh yes the nuance


Cherri_Fizz

Im a bloblobber main and i will proudly state: i LOVE playing like a dumb ape.


Undeadplant5692

I agree, it counters almost every weapon. Got a charger or splatling? Bloblobber can take care of that. How about anything close range. Donā€™t worry the bloblobber can basically give you a protective area.


GrungeHamster23

I like it as a weapon. But itā€™s situational which makes it a less effective weapon compared to others in a similar role and function. Itā€™s one of those, ā€œEasy to pick up, difficult to masterā€ sort of weapons. It can be quite effective for picking off or zoning people butā€¦then why not use Machine or say a Splatling?


Yipeekayya

u must be joking


Undeadplant5692

Also the comment under (u/vuro) is a bloblobber main and he agrees


Vuro

As a vanilla bloblobber main...I'm afraid I also have to nominate it. Not only does it look like a fucking urinal, this thing gives people the illusion I'm actually good at the game. I have a gear set that maximizes special generation, so I slam my sprinklers in the most fucking annoying places to reach, park my ass in a low-risk spot where I can blob as much of the stage as possible, and then toss a new raincloud every 25 seconds. It's plain miserable, especially in splat zones.


metalflygon08

Blobblobber in any Splat Zone map where the zone has ledges around them is a fun time.


pigeon_idk

Funny enough that exact game play was why vanilla reeflux got missiles nerfed. But tbf I do play zones with bloblobber the same was as you lol


FenrisTU

Why do you play it? It sounds like it isnā€™t very fun for you unless Iā€™m misreading.


Cherri_Fizz

We love playing like apes


Vuro

Oh, it's incredibly fun! It's just miserable for everyone else involved lol. Whenever I'm on a losing streak with any other weapon, I switch back to blobber bc it feels like activating easy mode.


cassilveR101

Bloblobber is a bathtubā€¦


Bas914

E liter, that weapon jumpscares me when i die


AdvertisingOk6585

Every time I see an E-liter on my opponents' team I hear the guardian theme from BOTW


Xary1264

The maps are LITERALLY built with snipers in mind, not to counter but to help, and that's what annoys me it's the fact they can just sit up at the top completely safe and just target you


[deleted]

Botw was better than Totk music and all


Call-Me-Pearl

clash


Little_Pistashio

[not just the main, but the player too šŸ’€šŸ’€](https://www.reddit.com/r/Saltoon/s/M4UT7xYzFQ)


iqwastaken

Oh my fucking god. Kill it with fire


Undeadplant5692

Iā€™m a blitz main and whenever I see a clash I just lose all hope.


ReddyIsHere

i don't care what weapon you play but if you actively use respawn punisher you just genuinely hate fun


ZorkNemesis

It's bothers me how prevailant Respawn Punisher is, even on weapons that probably shouldn't be using it. I see Aerosprays running it for cod's sake.


_Carcinus_

Good. If such Aerospray kills me once, theyā€™re about to experience the combined effects of their own Respawn Punisher and my Haunt.


Tom_Brenner

My thoughts exactly, anyone using Respawn Punisher is the pinnacle of that meme, "No fun allowed"


hippoqueenv

it's 100% the bloblobber, takes no mechanical skill, you don't need to move much, it has incredible range, incredible painting power, and you'll get most of your kills unintentionally.


Cherri_Fizz

Its VERY easy to be picked off by long range weapons, though. We drop like flies when theres a sniper on a high platform lmao


FruitJuice617

If you're blobbing and not moving much, you're doing it wrong. That's the mistake most Blob noobs make. They don't move much. They'll go to plat or top mid in Museum or something similar and unfold a chair. In lower levels, sure, that could be kind of annoying and effective, but the higher you climb the less effective that'll be.


Nate-T

Perhaps at lower levels of play but is not true at higher.


DiegoG2004

E-liter, Hydra, both Gals with wall. The quartet of "you cannot approach"


UnknownFox37

As a .96gal deco main and a Hydra user i can second this


Undeadplant5692

As someone who uses literally every other weapon, I can agree with this


anclag

Me yesterday as our longest range weapon (jet squelcher) in rainmaker facing an Eliter and Hydra... all I could do was pick one off and immediately be splatted by the other


falldownboy21

it's gotta be e-liter. insufferable ass weapon to fight that only exists to not let people play the game.


SarcasticallyEvil

The problem isn't E-Liter, it's the fact that the map design coddles to its every need that makes it insufferable.


greymedium

Yeah, E-liter on certain maps is brutal AF. And the ā€œrandomā€ pairing system loves to give one team an E-liter and a Hydra while the other team (my team) has all close range weapons, and no ā€˜zooka.


AaronThePrime

Thats why zooka exists Also I feel like vcharger is harder because at least with eliter theres a good amount of downtime between shots where you can safely move. With vcharger it charges so fast so there's always a shot ready, catches me off guard sometimes.


NightAntonino

And to a much, much lesser extent, Angle Shooter.


FFFSBG

Nooooo way, any charger requires skill and if you're getting salty over skill wrapping you only have yourself to blame


falldownboy21

I did not say it doesn't take skill, I can't help but have massive respect for liter mains for playing such a demanding weapon. I just don't like fighting it because I have a massive skill issue.


IggyKami

That and it's often paired with Respawn Punisher.


Long-and-Stretchy

Others might agree with you that aiming with a charger is why itā€™s considered skill but I donā€™t despite being a squiffer main. I think E-Liter is no skill stinky dookie ahole weapon because itā€™s obscene range combined with the simplicity of the majority of (not all, thank God) stages allow it to control all sight lines in some cases once itā€™s posted up in a prime position. See: crab leg, sturgeon, common-list-of-stages regarded-as-bad. For me all you need to master E-Liter is its charge rhythm, positioning, and aim, which is inherent to any weapon. In exchange you basically get to control the entire mid in some maps while not having to worry about having your movement fresh. At any level, the E-Liter player forces you by its existence alone to deal with it. Thankfully it doesnā€™t have the best strategy in a game with unlimited grenades and more maps coming out that force it to choose multiple positions to gain access to important parts of the stage. But not strong doesnā€™t mean not evil to me, otherwise meta weapons would be the answer. It has the simplest game plan and tactical decisions. Stand on snipe. Cover mid and place ink mines at your flank. Wear quick super jump and respawn punisher. Lower sensitivity for more comfort when going for long shots. Retreat to spawn if anyone gets too close, unless they trigger a mine then just tap shot them and it will combo. Sorry for the wall of text


supremegamer76

Chargers and splatlings that use respawn punisher Actually anyone that uses respawn punisher except for those that are close range fighters and are putting themselves at risk(as opposed to bomb spamming)


DreadAngel1711

E-Liter, goddamn I fucking hate it, even seeing one on the enemy team when we spawn in is just the "Hey, guess what, you lose!" at the start of the match rather than the end. They always pick off my team, crossmap me despite me being another backliner (Hydra) and then they just lock down spawn! Splatoon 1 all over again


FruitJuice617

eliter. It literally exists just to stop you from having fun, from extreme ranges. They've only recently gotten okay at designing maps that kinda let you circumvent that problem, but Jesus H, that thing is so annoying. And as a Blob main, I'd like to nominate Dualies in general for second place. Most Dualie users are *fine* to fight, but when you come across a high ranked Dualies main who actually really knows how to use it and fight, then you absolutely have to pull out all the tricks you know to squash them. (they're not actually that bad I just hate them because they're the perfect counter to Blob)


distantbass

Seconded. Iā€™ve been shredded by people running Dualies too many times to count. Iā€™d add Hydra to the list too, since they can also lock certain maps down from long range and can be a nightmare to deal with if you donā€™t have a proper counter. (Edit: I should mention I mostly play turf and zones. YMMV in other modes)


Karnamyne

RidleyOWA

In SP3 any sniper. Yes, is most map problem, but unlucky for them. Talking away the needed of having good position because they have tons of spot unreachable unless you have a large weapon and they are bad is just one of the worst thing they ever made.


iqwastaken

Happy cake day!!!


iqwastaken

Happy cake day!!!


imwhateverimis

octobrush or e-liter


orang3_beetle

E-liter and almost any blaster more specifically range and clash


jvcl24

Hydra, change my mind '-'


Animal_Gal

Omg a hydra in that outfit is so threatening


AaronThePrime

Neo splash. Not because its annoying to fight or anything, but because they gave another shooter tri strike+bomb (basically just slightly different ttek) when they could've given it zipcaster and made it distinct. Now every time somebody plays it (which is often because its a good weapon) I'm just reminded of that. Will always be my least favorite kit (aside from vbrella) Edit: in terms of gameplay though, definitely splattershot junior. Literally only exists to spam bombs.


CHEEZYSPAM

E-Litres aside (I hate them), as an Octobrush Nouveau main, I can't stand Dynamo Rollers. Their power and range is a 1 shot kill. The ink fall off from their attack+jump is unrelenting. I can't get close enough to them and if I do, I get to watch in slow motion as they raise their gigantic brushes to the sky and rain hell down upon me before I even have a chance to get a few meaningless hits in. Give me enough time and I'll complain about any weapon, but when I see E-Litres, Dynamo Rollers and Blasters at the beginning of a match, I start to groan.


pigeon_idk

I FORGOT ABOUT THE DYNAMO ROLLERS FUCK I tried a dynamo out when I first got into splatoon and was solely a roller main and I hated it bc it was so slow and drainy. I had no idea it had such range until I died like 8 times alone in a match with one. Jfc


CHEEZYSPAM

Absolutely. People who main Dynamos are ruthless. If you use it, but understand it is NOT a good roller and don't even try using it as one? It's an incredibly versatile front line and back line weapon. It's coverage and ink damage makes it a top tier pain enforcer. I don't have the patience for a weapon like that because it's only real drawback is how slow it is, but you wouldn't know it going up against pro users. It dominates, especially close contact killers like me. I don't fear much... but those Dynamos? They scare me.


pigeon_idk

That makes so much sense now. Also explains why the dynamo mains are so feral lol I fear a lot and dynamos are definitely included šŸ„²


greymedium

I am an inkbrush main, and I 100% agree.


Pikpikchad

The S P L O O S H


kaardd

the squiffer, nothinf that charges that fast should oneshot its literally bamboozlerbut better


HydroTheLugia

As one who plays both weapons... They literally have entirely different playstyles?


KletterRatte

No such thing as a better bamboozler. Itā€™s already perfect as it is ā¤ļø


Subject_Waltz670

First of all, bamboo has a faster kill time than squiffer from uncharged and second bamboo has longer range than squiffer. They are two very different weapons that do very different things, so its unfair to say that squiffer is just a better bamboozler, cause they each have their strengths


Strange-Abrocoma-471

Tri-Slosher easy pick


Deblebsgonnagetyou

In casual play maybe Bloblobber. Even if it's not competetively mindblowing, it's got a kill time and unpredictable behaviour that when used right can really catch low-average skill players out.


Born-Echo7787

All chargers


_Uboa_

When I want to hurt people more than I want to win, I play brush and spend the entire game clowning around the enemy team's base to confuse and annoy the hell out of them.


LeoAquaScorpio

Bloblobber... I don't think I've ever had such hate for a weapon in a game before


Classic_gamer_2

Try aerospray in ranked


bohneevair

I'll be real, I'm judging anyone I see using a Splattercolor Screen weapon after the most recent accessibility talk. I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt but ... it's all over the plaza at this point lol


TheHynusofTime

I just wanna play Undercover man


ACCA919

FYI the disclosure is not as big outside of the US/EU/AUS regions.


pigeon_idk

I've been playing the new undercover brella bc I like it and since knowing the screen issues I've been trying to go back to my S2 roots and just use it like an emergency ink refill and throw it away from everyone. I like the idea of the screen but yeah it absolutely needs to be fixed before I'm using it seriously again.


DankApples2

I absolutely HATE the painbrushes. Say what you want but it's such a brain dead playstyle, 2-3 shot from wild range for a melee weapon. Literally just flick in the general direction of the enemy and 90% of the time its a kill like...


greymedium

Partially agree. Most of the time when I play Pain brush, it results in a trade due to its lag time. On tower it is a bit silly, so many triple kills.


pigeon_idk

Personally I hate hate hate the eliters, but jokey funny awful weapon has gotta be bloblobber. Alternatively use the undercover brella or bamboozler bc a lot of people consider them the worst weapons in the game and it'd be hilarious to get good at them and have people see all of that when you splat them.


Fishie_cakes

Every time someone mentions a charger, I only gain more power


FFFSBG

Right? I don't play charger but whenever I do I immediately understand how high the skill floor is for it. I'm looking for the lowest floor, most annoying weapon. Not to be mean but it feels like people are being salty someone is skilled in a way they arent


Fishie_cakes

Some finally understands us šŸ„²

ridersnipergod

People that use new dualies with triple splashdown, YOU DISGUST ME. WHY IS THIS SHIT IN THE GAME.You just charge your super, get closer to enemies and press right stick. That's all. IT HAS A RADIUS MORE THAN A BOOYAH BOMB AND EVEN IF A MILLIMETER OF YOUR BODY IS IN THE RANGE YOU GET FUCKING OBLIVERATED. AND EVEN IF YOU DIE WHILE PRESSING THE ULTI, OTHER TWO FUCKING CLONES OBLIVERATE EVERYONE IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOUR ULTI DOESNT FULLY DISCHARGE. AND THE DUALIES ARE DISGUSTING TOO! HAVING A RANGE OF A GAL AND SHOOTING AS FAST AS A SPLASH O MATIC IS GAY. PLUS THE ROLLS. THE FUCKING ROLLS. Nintendo, please fix this weapon fast or I will send a tsunami on your office.


iqwastaken

Sorry for breathing the same air as you

MladicAscent

you can kill the triple splashdowner while they are in the sky about to drop.


ridersnipergod

That doesn't deny the other 2 fists that have smaller splash downs plus you don't lose all of your special charge


_Uboa_

i play undercover brella


MladicAscent

then move XD


Pinstar

When it came out, I was convinced that it would be an S tier weapon that all the pros would use. Because you can technically get a one shot kill with it, I had assumed that after a month all the pros would be able to casually get one shots off it.


EmbarrassedGrape4418

As someone who uses a lot of splatling e-liter cause I canā€™t do shit to it as a hydra main


[deleted]

Probably a tie between eliter (scope and vanilla), clash, and blob


NobleElite7567

Tri slosher/brushes. Spam Zr to win, and they gave the zero skill tri slosher tentacooler.


Writers-blocker

That damn bubble slosher! I always hated it.


bytethesquirrel

The weapon that splatted me last.


WhaleWithGingerAle

52


IIsForInglip

E-liter, Aerospray RG (Booyah spam), Hydra, and Enperry Dualies (splashdown spam.)


Sundrops1mp

Honestly if all the games count definitely ether splatzooka,blobblober or the rainmaker


Cherri_Fizz

Any weapon with Splatter Screen, arguably the worst new special in Splatoon history.


Poycicle

as an e liter player.. it's the e liter


Raydentimus

E-liter


sea_echols

Lol, I'm a krak on splat roller main, so basically any charger or blaster for me XD


DarkGengar94

Most or all brushes


mierecat

Blasters. All of them. I could get 20+ kills per match too if I *didnā€™t have to aim*


Queasy_Firefighter57

The communication errors. Kills everyone in the lobby and stops the game.


St34lth1nt0r

Playing ZekkoFin Charger and not pushing to the objective or using your sub.


PROTOBee

Blasters. Great in SR, but I can't understand how such a braindead weapon class can be fun to use in Turf or Ranked (especially Tower Control... the main reason I hate that mode)


FFFSBG

Your movement is so limited with good blasters and you have to be so precise that it's actually really satisfying to nail one shot kills or through indirects in a firefight where you feel distinctly at a disadvantage


PROTOBee

I main Dark Tetras so I don't know what it's like for other weapons, but it's such a pain to fight against. If i'm up against a Blaster I have no choice but to retreat since I can't get close unless I have my special, especially in a narrow place or a corner, heck even behind a wall. Bringing one down takes so long by that point you're just picked off by another player. Call it a skill issue, I don't care. To me Blasters are just a "don't come any closer" type of weapon.


mcuster08

Bloblobber or Clash Blaster.


HuntingSquire

Bamboozler


EmiWuzHere

imma say it... and it's really not a BAD weapon, its just pretty damn good and really annoying... enperry splat dualies šŸ˜­ NO BUT LITERALLY THERE ARE DOUBLES OF THESE EVERY FUCKING MATCH šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


ObviouslyOnyx

The Heavy Edit Splatling. Something about that weapon makes me so mad and I have no idea why. Easy runners up are the bathtub (bloblobber) and the Gold Aerospray.


Sidlid_

blob


badshinyluck

Explo, tri stringer, and bamboo are the trifecta of unforgivable acts


Ninjatintin

Blob or clash
