    Torpedo is the dream for me. Fits the main weapon's annoyance-based playstyle, locates opponents for trickshots, and a minimum chip damage of 12 enables 3 blob kills.
    For special, I'd like either Wave Breaker or Killer Wail. Both do even more of what Torpedo offers here, and they're passive instant ink refills that enable you to keep throwing out hitboxes much like Storm already does.

    Blob would at least get a better sub, auto bomb would be good for finding enemies and then you could take advantage of the on slosh shots. But why I play blob all the time is because of the fact that the ink can bounce, it tends to confuse people when my bubbles are bouncing or going off a wall, it makes the weapon unique

      @@GUSplatoon i have thought about this for a long time and i still don’t have an answer lol. ideally a faster slosh to help when getting rushed, but i don’t know how you’d balance that while retaining the weapon’s identity (the large hitbox, the bouncing off walls, the multiple blobs)

    • @missingno_fgc
      @missingno_fgc ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@unconcernedsalad2 I've thought about this a lot and I'm not sure I have a great answer either.
      The weapon is in a delicate spot due to how annoying it can be in low level play. I do think they shouldn't do anything that makes 4 blob kills better or easier. Ngl, it's kind of a disgusting trait to try and balance around!
      With that in mind, the only real thought I've had is to make the first blob's hitbox slightly larger while leaving the rest of the trail unchanged, allowing for more chip damage hits for a supportive playstyle. Maybe even redistribute the damage from 30x4 to 40+25x3, though that does become an object damage nerf.
      I don't know if that even solves much though, the weaknesses still remain.

  • @damp_waffle
    @damp_waffle ปีที่แล้ว +9

    another thing you want a good kit to do is extend the strengths/playstyle of the weapon. ink storm arguably does that with the paint output of blob, and bomb rush was great since you could still use your main weap that walls people out while walling out people with bombs. so i def agree with your special suggestions, especially chump!
    also, object damage is huge in this game, and it used to be one of those weapons in s2 where if the enemy team had it, my team would just say "they win pop". i agree! give blob it's object damage back!!!!!

  • @GrimReaper86107
    @GrimReaper86107 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Ink storm is a good special but it doesn't fit with bloblobber. It's needs an aggressive or displacement special to make up for its slow bubble jumps. Sprinkler doesn't help blob fight aggressive at all. It's a terrible sub. Many people use lightweight weapons. This makes it easy to dodge the bubbles. What I think the next variant of bloblobber should get is either
    Splashwall & killerwail
    Splatbomb or Torpedo & Triple Inkstrike

    • @GUSplatoon
      @GUSplatoon  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Killer wail is too slow. If your concern is that the weapon is too slow that doesn’t help either.
      Ink storm is good for one of its kit. But it needs something else.

    • @GrimReaper86107
      @GrimReaper86107 ปีที่แล้ว

    unironically I think bloblobber might be good with line marker... It's paint buff makes it a not awful mobility tool, its not a super expensive sub, and it also lingers and bounces off walls just like it. If they buff line marker to be more accurate and possibly have a bigger hitbox I could see a blob, line and maybe crab kit being actually good.

  • @harmless9336
    @harmless9336 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a non comp player (I hover around 2100x) with almost 700 wins with blob, I can agree with just about everything here. The biggest differences are just with how I play the weapon. I play super agressive with 3 pures of swim speed focusing almost completely on its ability to one tap if all shots hit. My thoughts are that this weapon pretends to be a painter while actually having atrocious paint output when it matters (it loses zone contestion to just about every real painting weapon), so playing fully agressive is its only real option. I fully understand the frustrations of passive blobs either being useless on your team or annoying on the other team so buffing this weapon is a hard arguement to make for its main stats. The only thing I want is to paint its feet when it fires without needing to look down but even that is probably too much.
    The way I want them to go with this weapon is full agression, where it struggles the most is the small down time if only 3/4 shots hit so the only subs that can really fix it are angle shooter or burst bomb. With the specials I want another thing to discourage defensive play while helping its massive weakness to long range weapons because of its low projectile speed. My only thoughts are trizooka or inkjet.
    I just think if a more super agressive style was common for the weapon it would be more fun for everyone and also make it a better weapon than another kit that would force it to hide from exploshers and e liters all game every game.

    • @HK_on_YT
      @HK_on_YT ปีที่แล้ว

      I fully agree as a maining Bloblobber. I play it similarly. Inkjet would be great, because it's one of the best Specials against long range weapons (I would splat E-Liters with Inkjet when I was maining Ballpoint Splatling, but I main Bloblobber now). I have found that already 26 AP of Swim Speed Up with 10 AP of Intensify Action make Bloblobber feel amazingly mobile.
      Do you notice a large difference with 57 AP vs. 26 / 25 / 24 AP of Swim Speed Up? I assumed the diminishing returns of stacking so many AP would make more AP less noticeable and I am currently planning to reduce Swim Speed Up to 24 AP.

    I clicked on this video as a blob main and said. Oh no this weapon is a mess, I know it and it is definitely weaker than other weapons. Please diss away. I play it as a main because it's fun as a casual player. What helps me when playing is predicting enemy movement. The one thing it can do best is hitting enemies you can't see. So I can splat people behind a wall or corners if I get the arc just right. Also my main playstyle is distracting the enemy or displacement so it works for me. But competitive play? Hell naw.

With Gal and Painbrush, its the speed, but its underarandable with the trade off. With Dapple dualies its the range to trade off for the higher speed. With Flingza, its the hit detection recently (I swear it feels like it got nerfed because i cant land strong hits now even with accurate aim and close enough range)

    The only problem bloblobber has is a lack of sub. Splash wall would go pretty nice with it, with a proper explosive it could be rather op (or would it, considering ink consumption?). Otherwise, with a decent kit, especially with Thermal Ink, it's absolutely shredding. A good blobber can singlehandedly handle Splat Zones on certain maps as long as the team covers their ass and not let them be splatted. Other thing is, who even cares about what top level players are using or not? 95% of us play this game for an hour or two after work, maybe more on weekend. I wouldn't like my little potty becoming like nzap in S2 "beecuz de gapanees playas yuz dat". Sploon is meant to be fun, play it the way you like! If I'd like every weapon to work the same I'd play ArmA.

    As a Blobblobber main i can play it agressevily in close combat with sprinkler. I play a lot competitive french tornament sometimes i can do good things and other bad.
    My team blame me cause i don t play it in backline but i don t like to spam only bubbles i ll go to fight with it if it really necessary. If i see a sniper or hydra i rush them cause i know perfectly i can one shot them in 4 strike bobble. It needs to train hours and hours to undertand and learn all Blob mechanics ,but to move and using it like a normal slosher use 1 main of swim speed with 2 or 3 swim sub. 1 ink recovery main and Comeback in headgear. For the gameplay that s my way it represent my playstyle. everyone has it s proper gameplay style and will not work with it.
    Anyway i agree with you but Blobblobber need is good aim squid roll and sprinkler does the job to make an opponent panic because he need to destroy it and you can take advantage from it.
