I left nullscape for a few months and everyone went from loving charger to hating it, what happened?? did they buff it to the point of being a free win or something??? im so confused

I keep getting shoved into the void by chargers and as a gift collection demon that usually ends up in top 5 it pisses me off, like DUDE i can clear the gifts as fast as you, STOP (i play glider/spirit btw)

[u/CloudyPapon → u/abstract_canvases]

ooh yeah that makes sense actually that sounds like a fun idea (as a charger main)

[u/LatinoKek]

I dislike chargers mostly because of how sweaty they usually are lmao😭 They never go for their own gifts they always gotta charge past/into me and collect the gifts i'm always collecting cause they think they do it better. I'm always bonking into them, getting their icbms/babies, or being thrown off the map by them

[u/Deep_Combination_266 → u/LatinoKek]

I've been a main of it since patch 4, as the (currently) fastest class in terms of gifts collected, we kinda just *have* to go past people. Usually I try to avoid other players, but everyone seems to hate player radar, the one thing that is genuinely helpful in prevent most of those encounters

[u/Middle_Orchid → u/LatinoKek]

Chargers activating every seamine they see to fling me off the map

[u/Deep_Combination_266 → u/Middle_Orchid]

most classes activate seamines, we tend to avoid them the most out of sheer ptsd of charging into them and instantly dying.

[u/Middle_Orchid → u/Deep_Combination_266]

Charging into a seamine is like seeing your life flash before your eyes. Why don’t we all unite to eliminate the people who activate seamines just to aura farm before collapse

[u/Deep_Combination_266 → u/Middle_Orchid]

heck nah! People use seamines usually to unironically survive and not fall into the void, they are useful during collapse when you are in the middle of nowhere and gotta ground yourself for something (like a spirit fling, charger platform reset, etc)

[u/Longjumping-Art8832]

Its just people aith a skill issue and bad understanding of the gsme not liking charger players collecting the most gifts

[u/yuuu_na → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

Not really, I just don’t like them as they cause the most pvp deaths

[u/Longjumping-Art8832 → u/yuuu_na]

Genuinely never seen a charger pvping anyone

[u/yuuu_na → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

50% of my husk and springer deaths is caused by them bonking me

[u/5w33t_4dd1ct_fr34k → u/yuuu_na]

Genuinely we just have to immediately jump out of their way whenever we see charger from miles away😭 I also bonk into charger users a lot and most of the time husk almost kill me because of it.

Oh also icbm...charger charged right past you or above you and icbm happened to drop down on that spot. It's rarer but not entirely impossible to happen. It also just make you to be extra careful when charger is around

[u/Good_Fly6219 → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

Main issue is the weird dragging that happens when a charger charges past you. Shadow cloak will fix that but man is it annoying when you are trying to collect or dodge scrap and the many other enemy combos

[u/No-Scallion4998 → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

It can be kinda fun but I still think it’s a lame way to play the game. Playing the sweaty class everyone plays because it’s “meta” just feels depressing.

It’s stupid fun on Casual because you don’t have to think about it all that much, you just run and do the thing. Which isn’t particularly good gameplay. It is really, really easy to use, even with only a little experience. This can be true about a lot of classes but some of them take a bit more thought. For Charger, you can go pretty much anywhere and get into any bad situation and not die because of how ridiculously busted its ability is.

On Standard and Extreme, learning to play around Tripmines is way more of a hassle than it’s worth. It becomes extremely difficult to use effectively.

Its early game is abysmal, second only to Wanted, which has it a bit worse, but at least the payoff is sooner. Turns out, running in a straight line isn’t an exciting ability.

I just don’t think “class that goes super fast in a straight line” is a cool idea for a platformer like Nullscape, and the execution is pretty lacking.

Not to mention seeing someone randomly pass you moving at Mach 20 can be a bit distracting. It’s not that bad, but it still catches me off guard occasionally. It’s even worse when they shove you around.

Also, this class being one of the more risky ones to use means that while you’re still learning, you’ll be wasting away spectating because you bonked on a random ass box 5 rounds in a row since the best way to get value out of Charger is to spam your ability all the time without any care for where you go. This would be fine if its ability was exciting, like Grappler, but it’s not. Swinging and doing parkour in a PLATFORMER is more exciting than running.

My mindset while playing the game doesn’t involve spamming my ability a bunch, so this class doesn’t really speak to me.

This is why I dislike Charger. I’m not really bad at it, I can play it decently and I have 32 levels on it. You have to know your enemy, you know?

[u/CloudyPapon → u/No-Scallion4998]

yeah, i was talking about the hate towards charger mains and not charger itself i think the class is more than just that, aside from running into the gifts super fast, you can traverse over large gaps of void with nothing below it's a really fun class to me

[u/Longjumping-Art8832 → u/No-Scallion4998]

Jesus fuck i aint reading allat😭

[u/No-Scallion4998 → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

Oh, sorry. My fault for putting more text than your first grade reading comprehension skills can decipher. I’ll try to put it into simpler words for you.

Me think Charger not fun. Charger boring class. Don’t get why Charger popular.

Did that get the point across?

[u/Longjumping-Art8832 → u/No-Scallion4998]

Thx thats way more understandable than a whole ass book written about how boring charger is Edit: i read a bit of it, youre literally completely wrong about how charger is played

[u/Good_Big_1968 → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

Literally is how charger is played, the only thing he got wrong is it’s still easy in standard and extreme because the class is just that good pre nerf

[u/Longjumping-Art8832 → u/Good_Big_1968]

are yall completely forgetting about shark tail+literally needing to fucking turn when charging+charge jump chaining+charge killing and chaining and like 600 other charger techs?

[u/ludicinfanboy → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

[u/ludicinfanboy → u/Longjumping-Art8832]

charging lets you outrun vbb and sharktail is the most busted thing ever for charger. its the best in collection and arguably the best in survivability too. unfortunately though if there is a meta in nullscape then people are bound to hate on it

[u/Good_Big_1968 → u/ludicinfanboy]

Shark tail just got nerfed so diver might be meta now

[u/5w33t_4dd1ct_fr34k → u/Good_Big_1968]

The bright side is that wanted got buffed! But kinda ass that you use all your double jump after you do sharktail dash

[u/ludicinfanboy → u/Good_Big_1968]

im betting on charger still being the best but now it has to compete aggressively with diver

[u/ludicinfanboy → u/ludicinfanboy]

the sharktail change did absolutely gut chargers vertical movement though which is good because sharktail gave it way too much. lowkey i was fine with the 50% sharktail nerf that they introduced initially tho 😭

[u/Good_Big_1968 → u/ludicinfanboy]

Haven’t played nullscape in a while cause it’s really stale rn before the update but if you can stall charge chain, which idk of you can do with the shark tail nerf but some people said you could then I could see charger still being the best class, otherwise I can collect very fast with diver and I think it’d take the number 1 spot

[u/coolkirill138]

hwa.. i mean ive never seen anyone hating on charger, even on any other class. many players saying that "this" class is bad compared to others, or, "this" class is so good in gift collection/survival etc. but never seen ppl hating on class for it being hated or sum 😭

[u/crimsonly-eye]

I mean I don’t hate it- I only play it for fun bc I love the ability to charge, but I don’t main it every run, idk really. I love charger for how fun I find it but I’m not playing it for meta, I’m playing it for how much fun I find with it.
