Every time I try and have fun on splatter, the people who play are mostly blaster spammers. And they are VERY agro. Getting hit with a blaster shot is basically a 1-shot kill (or if you're lucky, lose 5-9 hp), and it's VERY hard to dodge when someone's rushing at you while spamming the blaster just for cheap kills. I really only use the blaster as a last resort for killing.

You might be saying: "Oh, but the short range and high ink consumption balance i-" NO. You are absolutely wrong. Most splatter fights happen either in tight and short spaces or if it's a big open space, there's usually a higher ledge that people can use as a vantage point to increase the blaster range. And even in the rare chance that this isn't the case, people can still charge at you and run over you like a rodent. Also, someone could easily just blast an area, recharge their ink to like 30, and then crush you.

I really think that the blaster should be nerfed. It would balance games more, and the splattershot would become way more viable. I was thinking:

a) Raise the ink consumption of the blaster
b) Nerf the damage it does

Feel free to compliment and/or criticize this. Also, if you have more suggestions, I'd love to hear it.
 
Um no. The blaster is already costly taking only 10 uses to deplete all your ink. I haven’t tested to see if a direct hit with the blaster is insta kill but i’m very sure two shots and you are dead. Imo blaster is worse. Slow firing, expensive and not very agile. Bow is definitely better! It’s more agile and you can cover things relatively quickly. Faster firing rate and less ink consumption. I don’t have a BIG problem with killing so I don’t have fights with people. But I personally think blaster is pretty balanced.

Blaster-
Pros: Strong DMG - Good Range
Cons: Expensive - Slow

Splattershot-
Pros: Minimal ink consumption - Very good range - Fast and quick
Cons: Low damage

But I get your point with killers they can be irritating and frustrating. Just be smart and use ink climbing and parkour to your advantage. Also use jumper when you die or if your about to die. Smaller maps may not be on your side but you have to respect their strategy even if it is not a good one.

Despite the blaster being expensive, there is a trick where you can sprint and blast and you'll regain ink as you sprint, making an infinite path theoretically. Also, if there is a wall or ground on your screen within your reach (which is like all the tip), you can tap that wall or ground and it will instantly spit out a blaster shot. I've used up all 10 of my blaster shots in less than 3 seconds, which shows its spammability. You will be looking at the ground for most of your blaster fights.
Although the blaster is kinda expensive, I think they should at least nerf the damage.

Yes I know this I am not a new player but it isn’t an infinite loop when you use this trick. You’ll soon loose all your ink and then you’re at the point where you have to stop and walk and stop and walk. That is true but spamming with blaster is the WORST strategy ever for killing or covering. You loose ink faster than you’ll will actually loose the game. Spammers are easy to counter just run away or tp. The damage could be nerf to making it 3 hits for a kill or ground damage could be weaker than direct hits.

By me saying ground damage I mean splatting the ground to kill someone. It could be weaker so spamming becomes even more useless and easy to counter or deal with! :)

Terms that you might not know:

Direct Damage: When the egg that shoots out of the blaster DIRECTLY hits the player.

Ground Damage: When the egg splats on the ground damaging nearby players.

Here is what I propose:

Direct hits with Blaster takes 2 or 3 to kill a single player while ground damage with Blaster takes 4 or 5 hits to kill a player.

Ok I like that idea

No.
I'm guessing you just want to XP grind with less risk of getting killed. Xp grinders are annoying and just want to ruin all competitiveness to the game.

That’s why Splatter becomes toxic. They always say - YOU ARE @&$* STOP *%#@&$ KILLING ME - even though you only kill them two times. :facepalm:
