The best weapon in Splatoon 2 is a bucket

Asside from having the same range as Splattershot range tier shooters (which btw is because the range on shooter weapons got nerfed, not because the Tri-Slosher got a range buff), the weapon is the same as it was in Splatoon 1. Thus I do find it funny when people look at the weapon and go "Omg consistent two hit kill!?" as if it wasn't always like that. It's just really good like it always was. I don't agree that the weapon is suddenly the best just because a few weapons lost their couple squid steps of range advantage over it, but eh I have no qualms with people having that opinion.

I can understand the concern with shooters having a shorter range, but a shooter with similar range will kill faster. You also lose the slosher's edge which is the ability to attack upward. Its a better weapon in close quarters than the slosher, but lacks the range the standard one has which is part of the advantage of the slosher class. And both the Squelcher weapons outrange it.  I wouldn't call it broken. You need to play around it.
