#for example: competitive players don’t use tacticooler a lot bc they just decided it’s good

oh my god guys just because a weapon is ranked “low tier” doesn’t mean it’s impossible to be good/have fun with. A weapon being low tier means that, on average, it struggles to do well. AVERAGE. Sure, you might get 20+ kills with your aerospray in turf war, but that doesn’t change the fact that aerospray is low tier because ON AVERAGE it struggles to do anything else but paint. Just because you’re good with it doesn’t change that fact. With the right amount of skill, sure, almost any weapon can be good, but some weapons are easier to be good with than others. That’s what tiers mean, not “this weapon is amazing and everyone should use it and this weapon is dogshit and no one should use it.” Tier lists are an attempt at an OBJECTIVE ranking of how well certain weapons do ON AVERAGE in various situations.

And forget fun, that’s too subjective to be ranked anyways. Tier lists aren’t about that.

#splatoon #so sick of ppl being like #‘HAH I get 20 kills with the undercover brella ALL THE TIME in turf war CHECKMATE PROCHARA’ #when like #that’s not what tier lists are #sure there’s some opinion involved but it’s based at least somewhat on the game itself #for example: competitive players don’t use tacticooler a lot bc they just decided it’s good #it’s bc tacticooler is objectively busted #anyways I will scream this from the rooftops until ppl actually understand this #(which will probably never happen sadly)
