    • @leftovernoise
      @leftovernoise Před rokem +35

      ​@@v0idvice640 I think an accuracy buff would take away from the inherent design of the weapon. Where as fire rate increase would keep to what the weapon was designed for. Make it too accurate and it's too much like jet squelcher or pro. But if you increase fire rate, it brings it closer to what it's supposed to be, mid range support aerospray

      I actually like Splattershot Nova and am fairly good with it. It happens once in a while that I get 25-30 or even more kills with it. Combat is actually decent if you know how to play into the weapons strengths, namingly it's locating abilities and range in addition to a better mid-range performance due to better ink output than the jet Squelcher has.

    I actually got the Nova to try out a more support focused gameplan, and it does it's job of revealing and suppressing the enemy really well. tagging enemies with point sensor and basically siccing my teammates on them is so much fun.

    • @nick3805
      @nick3805 Před rokem +6

      True, and as such it's really dependent on your teams performance which can be really frustrating at times, especially since you often find yourself wondering what the F your team is doing 20 kilometers away from the frontline. However, if you have decent players in your team, it can be very good, even on it's own, the 30+ kills I have archieved with it in one match sometimes don't come from nowhere.

    I like the Nova after all the buffs it got, I still think it should have a 4 shot kill, but it's still a decent support option.
    Even with the 5 shot kill, It's not as bad in fights as you'd think because it has the range to bully short range shooters.

    • @LeahLuciB

      Yeah, and the paint to cut approaches off. Your ink tank efficiency and run speed are naturally good, so you can just backpedal and paint if you're zoning. Otherwise you can move up and harass and make a quick escape.

    I've played the Nova a bit and it's fun to be a point sensor spammer but it does need a boost. Hoping the weapon gets an update cause the kill time is pretty abysmal.

    I like the Nova! It's decently fun to just goof around with, at least with my playstyle. I do wish it had a bit more damage or a faster fire rate, but as someone who leans towards support, it works for me. But you were right about that one Nova player being cracked. I felt I was gonna comet- er, vomit watching them.

  • @nick3805
    @nick3805 Před rokem +2

    I'm actually maining this one. If everything goes well I can have 30+ kills on a regular ranked mode match. But I'd say average is around 15.
    I used to main the Jet Squelcher, but since the set's of the Jet Squelcher are a hot mess with secondary and special weapons that don't do anything or actively sabotage you I switched.
    I actually have to say through that it isn't that bad in combat. Yes, you have to hit 5 times, but I'd say it's kill time is better than the Jet Squelcher since it's fire rate is higher and you're more likely to actually hit thanks to your 2ndary weapon and the higher rate. Also, it can still outrange a lot of weapons which also helps.

    I mean the increased painting buff already helped quite a bit. But its supposed to be a support weapon which tracks opponenets and paints for its team. Ofc with opening gambit a dmg buff would be nice but that wouldnt be healthy balance wise. Need some disadvantages too otherwise it might get too strong.

    COMET. Also, I might try the -Splattershot Nova- Space Gun now that you seem to… tolerate playing it. I’ve also been eyeballing the Big Swig Roller, simply because of its niche in Splat Zones. I love weapons that serve a niche in a specific mode because it gives me the excuse to play different weapons from time to time, instead of -slowly and painfully grinding- trying to get five stars with Glooga Dualies.

  • @kalidoesart
    @kalidoesart Před 9 měsíci

    Tbh im perfectly okay with it being a five shot kill, as it gives the weapon more identity. My big issue is the accuracy, as Nova has the worst accuracy of any mid-range weapon. I really wish it had some sort of "fighting mode" to negate the bad rng. Most shooters have a characteristic where the longer you fire the less accurate shots you typically get, and i think it would be cool if Nova had that but to the extreme.
    My rework idea:
    Upon popping out of ink Nova would get perfect accuracy for about 8 or 9 shots before rapidly decaying to its current spread over the next 5 shots. It would take a full second in ink for the accuracy to recover. Jumping does NOT effect the spread. (Any numbers given here can be tweaked for balance sake).
    I think this would be a good change for the weapon not only to make it an overall stronger main weapon, but it would also straight up be more fun to use. Nova would now reward players more for their aim with a trade off of being limited in how much time you can spend in the mode. On top of that it still allows the weapon to play more supportive with the spray mode since it still would paint better.
    TLDR: Long aerosplash
