How The E-Liter BROKE Splatoon 

This is true, the range and pressure may have been scaryer, but S3 liter has got the shit map design to carry it

Only OG splatoon fans know the fear of dying from a partial shot or when eliter was all at max range when charging up in S1 early days

@@ChunwunBthis is also true! Damage up on Essentially squiffer range and + 15% more range than s3 Liter

I don’t remember E-Liter being the bad in Splatoon 2, personally, but my god it got WAAAYYY worse in Splatoon 3…

"oopsie"

@@abisk Nah nah nah "oopsie" 😂

About that, I'm almost upset at the fact there was no special sound effect for when you did that. it was just the regular ink armor sfx, even though they died. Also you know the ink armor you get when you spawn in splatoon 3? yeah the E-Liter ignores that too! It's so funny that ink armor and it's splatoon 3 version were SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to avoid oneshots, but the E-liter doesn't give a damn.

e liter my greatest nemesis

Actually, they can only throw two without ink saver sub

@@yasd8493 That was after the nerfs.

Tysm!

yikes, 20 minutes? that seems like way too much time to be talking about a splatoon weapon

I would have made it a bit longer, but I didn't have the time to go too in-depth with the research :p. Also, you have a great channel as well!

Range Blaster is an interesting idea, but no, that was just the staple weapon of Quick Respawn meta, sorry :( But I def am considering making a range blaster video now. Would be fun :D

The most annoying Quick Respown/Ninja Jump weapon was Luna blaster neo for me

That is a great idea. Perhaps when the game has a little more of an update history, considering the recent buff to tri puts it in a semi-volatile state. But eventually I want to do one!

I realized my aim sucked and now I play at least 2 games of Squiffer every day to warm up. It has helped massively, and more people should really try playing Squiffer sometimes. Super fun as well!

The current design of a lot of specials and the aggressive style of gameplay of Splatoon 3 fundamentally keeps E-liter in check. Even though a lot of maps in Splatoon 3 are smaller which does help e-liter it also aids trizooka, makes zipcaster engages quicker, lets big bubbler block a large portion of sight lines, etc. I'd say that e-liter is currently a very solid weapon that has a huge skill ceiling for those that choose to master it. Some major changes that slow down the pace of the game would need to happen in order for e-liter to ever be considered oppressive in Splatoon 3.

@@DuelingSteel Yeah I agree Eliter thrives in slower paced metas and open maps with little contest points at high ground spots. Though I will clarify that Eliter with Beakon does actually work in Aggressive metas with its ability to reposition and survive. The Current Eliter kit is a little too Defensive and Eliter likely needs a kit with a long range poking special to be at the top again.

It’s to easy to punish.

@@woolunderwear2522 Are you talking about the average Eliter player or the actual skilled ones? The average Eliter player doesn't position well and react quickly so they get punished.

Yeah it really is about positioning for Eliter. In some spots it's easy to punish with a bomb or by rushing it if it misses, in others it can be hard to do anything about even if it misses.

Yeah, I was being hounded by a shooter, and I wasn't sure if I had backup. Fortunately, I won, but I wasn't expecting it to go that well.

as an E-Liter main, not exactly. Tri-Zooka exists, Crab Tank exists, they put a car on mincemeat and a random metal plate on um'umami to obscure your view slightly in certain game modes, on flounder heights they're easy to sneak up on thanks to the buildings (not including other things meant to at least slightly weaken them on other maps) and there are only like 4 viable sniping spots per map meaning you can memorize them and just remain vigilant whenever you know you are in range (or just get behind cover when you see that lazer if they aren't hiding it/flicking), or with a bit of ninja-squid sneaking and luck you can get close to them, in which case unless they are a god-gamer who can react to anything on frame 1, flick 180 degrees and hit from that flick with perfect accuracy and was lucky enough to have a charged shot right as you started shooting, they just die. sure the range is absurd, and one-shot, and hitscan and small maps, it still isn't broken. I'm sorry to say, but i have to diagnose you with skill issue.

There are alot of displacement specials that pretty much force any long-range to move out of the way, or die and resawn (EX: Booyah, Crabtank, Zooka, Missiles, Ink Storm, Zipcaster,) And with the meta revolving around Tacticooler it makes hitting the shots that matter all the more harder with the increased movement and swim speed. The mapdesign is..hot garbage for most weapons. They either favor long range so much that it becomes unplayable, or they're so cramped that its hard to escape close range encounters and Long Range simply dont have a viable option. There are at least some better maps coming in, but overall they need to be larger to account for hyper long range (E-liter,Ballpoint,Hydra and scoped chargers) while providing a few flank routes and fair cover for short to mid range to relyable do things.

@@MuffinssRooff Replay Code : RBIL-WQMU-RL5Y still think it’s a skill issue?

Tenta missiles aren't on many weapons anymore. They used to be on far more weapons in 2, didn't have the same cooldown as they have now, and the points per special on most weapons was 20p less than it is in 3. While missiles aren't a huge problem in 2, this led to some games where players would have 20+ missiles per game, which makes it really hard to actually use a charger, especially the slow liter.
