I thought they would be as well but not really, or not a lot at least. Having 1 or 2 in your team is very usefull but I found that teams with 3 rollers had some real difficulties.

They are very usefull for covering huge amount of territory in the last seconds of the game though.

Which arena? The smaller one is pretty easy to win with three rollers.

Weaponbalancing is not good right now and depends heavily on the arena.

It can be really chaotic.

It was fun. But overall the MP felt more like a perfect fit being played occasionally for not to long time frames. Definitely isn't a revolution.

Even in the small on (the warehouse) my team actually managed to keep the rollers from 'escaping' the area around their base pretty well. You'll need some skillfull teammates though, to contain them. 

Rollers are also easiest to use, I think that's partly why in this early stage people think they're a bit OP. I noticed some people were shooting the ground directly in front of them while using a splattergun (as in right in front of their feet). Of course shooting as far as possible, and changing frequently in squid form to travel down the paint you spread, greatly increases the speed/area you can paint
