"Rollers" are the Little Mac of Splatoon! Not OP :o

When something is OPed in a game, it doesn't stop being OPed because of "metagame". I'm not sure if the roller is Oped though. This is just a general statement for things that are OPed.

The point is that the Roller isn't OP, it just feels like it due to the low skill of the player base. As people get better with the weapons (and get access to the full arsenal), the ranged weapons get better while the roller gets worse, therefore, as the metagame develops, the roller will stop feeling overpowered.
