There are weapons that are way more OP than bucket. *cough* .96 Gal *cough*

And I should know, .96 Gal (deco) is my main weapon for ranked

.96 Gal Deco used to be my main in Tower Control... now it's my main in everything

Yeah, it's a very good weapon, but nowhere near OP. It has terrible efficiency and fire rate and it barely spreads any ink (and don't say spreading ink is only useful in Turf Wars, because we know it's not).

The Slosher, besides having roughly the same damage as the .96 Gal and not that much smaller range, is actually pretty damn fast, covers A LOT of ink, and if you catch a nearby opponent with it, they can't escape after the first hit because your ink spreads all over them. Of course, this also makes it pretty good for movement and covering ground in Turf Wars. It's very good for creating ink paths too. I'm not sure about the efficiency as I haven't played with it, but it doesn't look like that big of a problem at all.


And it has the charger like ability of the ink going in a line, so you can aim over people and hit them. And the damage is constant at all ranges.....Damn.... I guess it is kinda OP actually....

To be fair, the Slosher has pretty bad ink efficiency as well. I think what they need to nerf with the slosher is the range, as that's what makes it as good as it is (imo).

BTW you even use the .96 Gal Deco for Turf Wars? And yes, I'm looking for gear with Ink saver (main) to combat that ink usage

Sloshers aren't OP, but snipers are.

How many snipers in other games have such a wide beam?

Snipers are only really annoying if you and/or your team leaves them alone. I've had matches turn completely around (both ranked and Turf Wars) as soon as we actually started pounding the enemy snipers a bit. Though I'll admit, they can be really f'in annoying in Tower Control, for the one riding the tower, because you have fuckin nowhere to run =__=

The problem is it's pretty hard to kill a sniper when you main the Airspray AG. I usually still win the matches against snipers, but they just ruin my enjoyment for the game...

I have a new strategy for Arowana Mall though, I just rush towards the middle and go into the sideway towards the enemy camp and then I camp at the place snipers usually camp (and place ink mines).

A hookshot, instead of a iron hook it fires a consistent ink that glues on any surface

Yeah, what you have to do is get to wherever the chargers. usually camp before they do. If not, it's gonna be much harder to go through enemy territory to take them. Also it was funny reading your strategy for Arowana Mall, cause that's exactly the same thing I do on that map if I'm using the Jr.

If you're an Aerospray main, you're kinda reliant on your team to handle chargers though, so if your team doesn't push the charger, you're set for an annoying match.
