they should turn a phone charger into a new charger

Man I really want bamboozler to be a high skill high reward, cause it seems like a very cool take on the typical chargers

I would like to see Rollers next. They usually aren't meta, which is a shame because I find them to be a core piece of what makes Splatoon Splatoon. I'd also just be generally interested in what you'd do to make them better and more fun.

The pencil needing buffs aged like milk.

The major issue (in this game specifically) chargers tend to have is 100% the maps where either they are way too good, or not that great. Granted that’s not everything holding them back but it is the most major thing

I think a fun buff for Gootuber would be to allow it to charge a shot and swim at the same time. That would help mitigate its long charge time, let it be more mobile, and really cement it as the charger that swims

Gootuber should absolutely have enhanced squid rolls

Y’a know where chargers thrive in a much healthier environment? Tableturf battle. Splat charger and Eliter un scoped are two top 10 cards due to their status as a 7 long and being really thin, and this makes them play best as very agressive cards, the opposite of main game. Squiffer is 6 long which is a downside, but in return your special block is much easier to activate which is really really helpful it’s much more niche than the first two, but it’s still a very solid card. Gootuber has some very good base combos, but can suffer from having a hard to activate special outside of those. However, it has a staircase on its end and this unique shape makes it highly versatile as a defensive card when you don’t need it for base combos. Snipewriter is splat charger, but worse. It has a worse special placement, a nub on both sides of it making agressive plays with it much harder, and overall, it just kinda blows. Eliter scoped is a seven long like eliter, but rather than having an agressive special block placement, It has a defensive one that’s set up to be easily activated. It’s very highly rated, but as a defensive card rather than offensive. Bamboo is a card that hasn’t really been experimented with, as a 5 long with its uniques shape, it’s very rough to use consistency agressively. However when we get it’s second kit, it will have the powerful attribute of them having the same block placement, but only different special placement. This will allow you to use it in base combos and have much higher odds of drawing it sooner. Scoped charger is the same as scoped eliter, but it’s outclassed by scope eliter due to its smaller block count. This makes it pretty bad imo. I think that’s all of them, anyone with questions can ask me about them in the comments and I’ll try to respond.

Man, if Snipewriter could store a charge I'd be so happy

Quick answer: fix map design. Then, both splatlings and chargers will be in a more fair state. Splatlings were average in previous games because the more open, wider and "flanky" map design meant that the splatlings and chargers had to position themselves better than now in S3. With the actual map design (smaller maps with no flanks) they can just camp in the same spot and cover the entire map with basically no risk because you can't flank them and splat them. PD: I wrote this before watching the video. Sorry if my comment becomes irrelevant after watching the video... and sorry for my bad English.

Goober mains will never see the light of being meta relevant 😔

For swiffer I’d like to see the inkjet back on it again. I’d prefer fizzy or splat bomb to be the sub weapon rather than suction bomb

While i definitely think brellas need an episode with how bad they are now, id love to see semi automatics specifically H3 and L3 since nobody talks about them

We need a series where you make a single balance adjustment to each weapon that completely breaks it lol

i think respawn punisher should only work on the first few people you kill, then it goes back to normal but you only get the longer respawn time if you die while wearing it when you havent gotten the kills

Meanwhile, chargers in any game I play: 0 kills, 10 deaths, 2 specials at most, no more than 400p... I must be cursed or something

Sniper weapons are definitely hard to design around since they can either accidentally end up overpowered or underpowered

I think goo-tuber should be able to refill it's ink while doing a chanrge hold. I feel like that wouldn't be overpowered and would be a unique thing for the weapon

I feel like Brellas would be a fun one to do next, they definitely need some touch ups and I’d like to see how you’d buff them to match the meta of S3.

Your idea for goo-tuber keeping its charge hold while using a sub was actually something I suggested for bow! I think toxic mist is really good for bow, and could help it to get more reliable 1 shots, but it takes so long to charge fully after throwing mist that it's still hard to pull off. If bow could charge, then throw special, then fire, that could be a lot of fun

As an eliter main I hope they never do this

If they don't fix the map design, I would happily accept these changes since like pretty much every game that has a Sniper Rifle, they can be the most game changing if used under the right hands. Also, I wouldn't mind if the Bamboozler had better painting capabilities since you need a full charge in order to paint compared to the other Chargers.

Eh naw, I disagree with these proposed splat+eliter changes. Opening the maps fixes far more than just these chargers, regardless of how unwilling the devs are to deviating from chokepoint philosophy. Shoutout to your previous video with FLC and BPsquid on changes to S3 map design.

I don't usually comment on the editing but I really liked the vibe of this one, props to LogiCreates :D

tbh id much prefer a strafe speed buff for pencil, having a charge hold would completely change how the weapon is played, also it should get run speed stacking like splatlings, same for bamboo actually, or heck do this for all chargers, it would make them much more aggressive weapons

I like the ideas for most of them but the basic charger, eliter and scopes changes just kinda kill the entire sniper playstyle that the weapons are used for and turns them more into slow long range shooters

Splatoon1: Snipers worked, it's okay. Splatoon2: Snipers unable to function due to ink armor, tenta missile spam, and stingrays. Splatoon3: Screw it! We reign supreme now! Especially on... Mince, Bridge, Mahi, Brinewater, Scorch, Undertow... Yeah you get the point...

I would love to see sloshers next but I feel like we should wait for Dread Wringer first so I think Splatlings will work best

Idea for Goo Tuber: Allow it to charge while MOVING in ink at 2/3 the speed of regular charge, but it won't replenish ink while choosing to charge.

Idea for ur dualie episode: Squelchers gain an increase probability in paiting ur feet to allow gameplay flexibility since not all squelcher mains uses the jump tech to their advantage when playing the weapon and constantly having ourselves stuck in enemy ink in the most annoying times possible (myself included) And ofc the ink efficiency increase cuz wth nintendo

Baboozer main, yeah you’re pretty spot on here imo. The weapon is totally fine, object damage isn’t even that big of an issue, it’s more just that its current kit isn’t synergistic or strong enough. A new kit (your suggestion is quite good tho I’d prefer wave or rain over chumps) and maybe a very sight paint buff/bugfix are all it needs to be good

Picking the Blob over the Goo Tuber! 🤣 I still like my Blob. Can't wait for the next kit!

the mecha and arashi slander is crazy

Please continue to use Street Fighter music, Rashid’s SF6 theme is hella slept on.

easiest fix is: "Nintendo, make better maps!"

Video 185 of commenting on Chara videos till brella gets fixed [properly]

I personally dont like the range nerfs to splat charger and liter (only my opinion). Expecially liter bc thats what its meant to be the longest range weapon in the game by far and taking that away feels just wrong for the game. And splat charger i dont really have a reason for why i dont like it being nerfed idk it just feels odd. They are meant to outrange other weapons. i think just reworking or removing respawn punisher and fixing the maps like in ur 30 min vid would make them feel better rather than nerfing their range. (This all goes for scoped as well). Although i dont mind pencil bc of the charge hold

Pog moment. Omega Strikers Soundtrack used.

Really enjoying the new videos, would love to see your thoughts on what a slosher class rework would look like

when you get to shooters, i think you should increase the points for special on both splattershots

I still love how so many of these weapons can be fixed if they just made the maps better

Love this series!!! Keep up the great work

0:38 Dang, R.I.P. Arashi and Mecha. 🤣

one additional change I'd like is giving snipewriter a 6th shot so that you can get 3 kills on a full charge instead of 2.5 kills given you land every shot

I love this series! Just getting unrealistic and making a sort of perfect splatoon is a really cool concept. Props to you! I think the next class should be rollers due to the fact there is heavy rework potential. I also think that perhaps the smaller classes like brushes and brellas, or stringers and splatanas could be merged into 1 video.

the editors need a raise

an overall class change could be some kind of reward for moving something like your charge time is a couple seconds faster after you move X distance, then goes back to normal after staying in one spot

I very much enjoy this series

OMEGA STRIKERS MUSIC IN THE VIDEO WOOOOOOOO

Squiffer zipcaster is the only kit I will accept

my personal dream kit for bamboo would be fizzy bomb + ink storm , but i can see the distraction aspect of torpedo + super chump being useful for the weapon !

Dang this video was great, it actually showed what the changes would look like

Loving the series so far! I'd like to see what you do to give brellas a chance once again

Okay but the video quality tho? Fucking amazing

Tbh I think one of the major issues is when doing solo que, you tend to get into matches where your team just has 0 ways to deal with the Splatcharger/Eliter. Be it in the form of the game not giving you a long range splatling/displacement or even a counter charger leading to these awful matches where if your weapon isn't decently fast to avoid the charger, you just have to watch and not engage in that chunk of the map.

That second kit for squiffer is so insane. Why would i play that when i play low tiers...

Dude can I say you have great music taste

Great video! I expect a lot of more boring changes that would balance chargers but make them less fun but this video wasn't that at all most changes sounded really good especially the less range for faster kills(kills at 85% charge) since i always thought that chargers ttk is slightly too long to get clips. Now i really want to test these changes... Anyway thanks a lot for this video! Really nice to imagine a version where playing with and against chargers is actually fun.(not trying to be mean to charger players i just never liked playing them except bamboo and squiffer)

definitely a really cool series! the obvious answer is to do Brellas next, but i honestly think rollers as a whole could also use some love. and it'd give you another chance to rant about dynamo.

2:16 my dream kit this is what I've been preaching for the last year. Thank you for not saying zip I don't need squiff to have the worst 2 specials in the game

Chargers prolly won’t even need too many reworks if Nintendo fixes the maps

The ultimate life form is back

Make the sightlines work. Half the time I get killed by a charger whose sightline is half a stage away.

I just want all chargers to pierce through the salmonids in salmon run

one thing that i would like for the scoped versions is faster zoom in. Mostly because im used to that in other shooters such as team fortress 2 and apex.

im a squiffer main, and would really like to see an agressive kit on it again. GIVE ME BACK MY FRESH SQUIFFER!!!!

Man I just really hope they radically fix the map design. I kinda miss the big splat 1&2 maps ngl.

Charge holds should be a unique gimmick for squiffer and goo (and maybe snipewriter). It's just not fair how splat charger and eliter have more range and also better mobility than hydra.

I haven’t watched the video yet but my guess on how to fix chargers would be to fix the maps lol.

Squiffer kit idea, Splatoon 2’s fresh squiffer.

Sometimes I'm glad the Splatoon Devs don't listen to their community, imagine having a minigun outrange your fucking sniper...oof

Another general change would be improved maps with actual flanks and methods of getting closer to long range chargers

I just randomly wondered how many parts is there gonna be for the shooter balance

I’ve been thinking about that snipewriter change FOR SO LONG

its not chargers' fault, its the maps

babe wake up new prochara upload dropped

I am actually not a fan of the changes for splat and eliter. Reducing the range will cause more problems for these weapons and for every player. If we keep the camping spots in mind, the current way to deal with a charger is with another charger, or by outplaying them, while the outplay part is already hard with the maps itself, if the chargers have less range, you actually have to get even closer to take care of the charger in the enemy team, making the attacking team more vulnerable to the enemies, since the sniper has to push with the team to reach the charger, while avoiding to be picked of from shooters. Even if the faster kill time might help with that, most people are already used to full charger kills since the beginning of splat 2 and after the 20% range nerf from splat 1, so not many will use it in the end. So, your changes chara, might backfire more, than people might know now, I could also be wrong, but that's my theory. Chargers are also still one of the slowest movement weapons when charging, something Splatling doesn't have problems with, what it's trading the range for. I still hope for map changes. I also hoped that the problems between scoped and non-scoped would be addressed, since scope has a lot of disadvantages to non-scope chargers, so giving scope something for the FOV and movement nerfs, besides the little range buff compared to non-scope would be nice. I like the ideas for the other chargers tho.

Love that kit idea for bamboo.

What do you mean when you say that chargers being stally force people to play around their specials?

I would absolutely love to see Brellas or Splatlings next.

0:18 Okay, how's the Woomy not having an existential crisis when there's two of her somehow? 😂

The E-liter change just made sense the way you worded it, and it seems appropriate considering map sizes and respawn punisher being so useful on them currently. This is similar to how Overwatch recently balanced their snipers for the new maps and 5v5 format, where they have less effective range, but skillful players are able to use faster kill times as compensation. I think this worked well because snipers became a lot less oppressive and easier to coordinate a push against, Aswell as making snipers take more aggressive positioning more often that weakens their role on the enemy team's backline. I would love to see this change and I could see it being more fun for both the E-liter and the person up against them.

Another problem with the maps from my Charger view is, there are not any good positions for Chargers at all. Of course we stay almost in one spott, because everywhere else is a danger zone for a Charger player. Splatoon 3 is the fastest game in the series and Chargers are the class with the slowest playstyle, I see why balancing is difficult for it.

I’d love to see an episode for stringers with this change I would love to see happening: giving both stringers full charge speed in the air like Squiffer Stringers are very similar to chargers so giving them a mechanic that makes them different enough from chargers would make the class more unique as well as making them able to play around the vertical shot a lot, but I mean A LOT more while being more mobile than ever on the map

I still wish they just made goo tuber intro a stringer between games like they did with dule squelcher

As a bamboozler player, I think Killer Wail 5.1 is actually really good for it. it's got insane combo potential if you get stuck. Just hit one shot.

This weapon class was not designed with this games maps in mind they really do need a rework

I was just talking with a friend the other day about the bamboozler. He was convinced it was just bad as a weapon, and like, yeah it ain't in a good spot but that's not all on the weapon itself.

Make dynamo's vertical flick good and make it so you double tap zr to do it, making it a dynamic (haha) switch from horizontal flick to vertical, even allowing fake outs and both ground vertical flicks and jumping horizontal flicks. Also just buff its damage and range and stuff to match splatoon 1 dynamo, so this isnt out competed by flingza roller.

I'd love to see splatlings tackled next. It's sad to see the whole weapon class being so dominated by just ballpoint when there're lots of interesting mechanics with the rest of them.

Goo tuber being a continious beam when fired rather than just a regular shot would be neat. Like it has to squeeze out all the stored ink so its like a tiny stingray without the wallhacks or massive aoe.

Out of all the snipers in the shooter genre, Splatoon has done, at least in my opinion, some of the best sniper design in terms of balancing. Is it perfect? DEAR GOD NO! But it’s still better than the one-hitting wonders of other shooters like COD and CS:GO

I'd love to see unique gear abilities rebalanced or gear abilities in general Personally I feel ninja squid is massively overtuned for the soloque experience. I expect its not as bad in a team setting where you can communicate and try to play around it but in solo que its incredibly oppressive, especially when you loose map control. When multiple people on the enemy team are running it, you can kinda expect at lower X rankings that you're just gonna watch everyone on your team die in isolated 1v1s over and over, and get sharked every time you try to push back in. I know they're trying to make it the answer to back line being able to abuse the map design, but I think its a solution to the problem that's less fun for everyone involved than just having viable flanks- playing back line into ninja squid SUUUUUCKS. personally I think they should have kept the speed debuff, making ninja squid teams slower, and/or increasing their gear dependency Respawn punisher also obviously needs some work- I'd love to see it reworked in a way that encourages the player to have a really big impact on the match instead of just playing hyper-safe and making individual picks more valuable. Last ditch effort could probably also use some changes. Bomb spam is miserable, especially in lower rankings where people have worse movement skills and it provides a low skill, low risk, high reward play style thats really unenjoyable to fight against. Personally though I'd rather see this rebalanced by increasing the cost and white ink frames for throwing bombs I'm repeated succession (kinda like how it gets harder to squidroll over and over) rather than through gear changes, but it could still be very interesting. I'd be really curious to see what gear adjustments you'd wanna make!

I really need to see a re-balancing video about the brella

I wonder what would you do to splatlings And when you do shooters, would you add again a weapon that nintendo is trying to kill?

Wait the hose on the goo tuber fills up when you charge???

Estelle theme in BG of intro❤

The rework for splat charger and liter is really interesting... I do like how partial charges is a special mechanic just for goo, but I'd be really interested to see a mod that patches in the rework for splat and liter cause it'd be fascinating to see how those weps would play with these changes. And yes squiffer should just be a lightweight weapon anyway

The range nerfs are a little severe, and let's be honest, snipers aren't the issue, it's the bad map design. Eliter shouldnt have to be nerfed so Hydra stands a chance, there should be better map design so that snipers dont have a choke hold on all other weapons.

2:55 I saw that transition. Clever little Chara.
