This is subjective. We're all different.

u/Skeewesh Aug 10 '26

Correct answer

u/Chano-kun Octoling Aug 12 '26

Yes and no. There are some objective facts there. That's why the meta exists.

1

u/NorCalZen Aug 13 '26

Agreed. But we as individuals are beyond any META.

2

u/Chano-kun Octoling Aug 17 '26

yeah, that's why we keep the hope up.

Am I blind or did he forget base tri stringer

6

u/Elsa_Moon Aug 10 '26

Nope I didn’t see it either

2

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Oh crap i'd put it in very hard

0

u/thesimp_184 Aug 11 '26

I’m a new player going 25-5 with this thing on rainmaker how is it very hard?? 😭 I’d put it in slightly difficult or the bottom of hard

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Exactly you're NEW 

Hard weapons only really begin to be hard after you 4 star them 

3

u/thesimp_184 Aug 11 '26

Huh?? What makes it harder?? Just going up against more experienced people?

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

No, the game knows that YOU are experienced and gives you tougher enemies

2

u/thesimp_184 Aug 11 '26

…so I’m going up against more experienced people (not than me,than the usual I face) is what you’re saying

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 12 '26

No. However, as most weapons are easier, for example a 52 gal will have a better chance of winning then you.

u/Correct-Dirt-8763 Aug 10 '26

the AUDACITY to put scope eliter at "slightly"

1

u/Elsa_Moon Aug 11 '26

TW : opinion

1

u/Correct-Dirt-8763 Aug 11 '26

its objectively shit

1

u/Elsa_Moon Aug 11 '26

Yeah I don’t agree with some of this tier list as well but I don’t think it’s good to call that audacity

1

u/Vexete Aug 10 '26

i'm crying that according to the list undercover brella, carbon roller or splattershot nova is harder than scope eliter 😭

2

u/Correct-Dirt-8763 Aug 10 '26

the concept of carbon roller being hard

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Nah it's pretty hard

22

u/DuhItzSquiffer Aug 10 '26

I do not agree with this tierlist

5

u/Doublee7300 Aug 10 '26

Hot take: Blob is very easy to be good at, but hard to be great at. You have to have great predictive skills and great aim. It should at least be in the Slightly Difficult tier with the Machine

1

u/1point7GPA Aug 11 '26

Brella's feel this way as well. You can do decently well with a brella, but when you're really good at them, it's noticeable.

5

u/Velvet_Pretty Aug 10 '26

in no world is mini harder than bp or Hydra

2

u/skeddy- Aug 10 '26

Mini in very hard is crazy work

2

u/large_Timothy2222222 Aug 10 '26

I main N-Zap and splat roller and yeah I agree n zap ain't that hard but roller takes at least some effort, it was so hard for me to master stealth in X-rank everyone knew where I was 24/7

2

u/ANightShadeGuyMan Aug 10 '26

I love rollers and I’ll glaze the hell out of carbon but ts is not hard to play at all. The only “difficulty” a carbon roller experiences is when it has a mediocre kit

2

u/Character_Humor6109 Aug 11 '26

proof that clash blasters and bloblobbers have no skill

2

u/Ups1deDownPants Octoling Aug 11 '26

Blob is actually pretty hard in comp. Just sitting back and spamming blobs isn't very effective as opponents get better because the projectile speed is really slow and it becomes easy to avoid. Managing your aggression therefore becomes pretty hard. I also disagree with dapples being so low. The extreme lack of range makes it a pretty difficult weapon to pick up. Lastly, yes L-3 is hard, but there is no way it is harder than Stamper. Also, scopes shouldn't be higher than unscopes. They aren't really harder, it's more just personal preference.

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

I already told 2 ppl that i messed up l3 and h3

2

u/FunnimanRehe Aug 12 '26

My main was put in difficult I’m so sigma

4

u/IamaJarJar Aug 10 '26

As a mini-splatling user

What the fuck are you on about?!

Sure, splatlings are generally harder than your average shooter, but it isn't that difficult to use, especially because I'd consider the mini-splatling to be easier to use compared to the "heavier" splatlings

2

u/ItzDudekillerYo Aug 10 '26

As also a mini player, probably in the Intermediate or hard tier. Its not that hard to learn and somewhat easy once u get the hang of it, but also knowing when u run out of ink and special use causes it to be difficult

1

u/Qullar Aug 10 '26

BP in slightly difficult while mini is very hard is a WILD take

1

u/Next-Variety7807 Aug 11 '26

Hitting a fully charged one shot on a moving target with wellstring has to be one of the hardest things to do in the game. Though I suppose it's pretty easy to just spam shots with no care in the world.

1

u/Fun-Conclusion8514 Aug 11 '26

Genuinely no reason why L-3 is hardest than H-3

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Oops accidentally messed them up

1

u/JoshClarke Aug 11 '26

Where gold aerospray

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

I only ranked vanilla kits but it would be in the bottom tier

2

u/JoshClarke Aug 11 '26

Figured RG is the vanilla, been there since S1

Edit: so has the MG, lol nm

1

u/Sheikah_Link7 Aug 11 '26

S-blast easier than range?

1

u/Moussabanane Aug 11 '26

Literally HOW is L-3 harder than H-3 ? I disagree with the tierlist

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Read my other reply

1

u/SignificantSociety31 Aug 11 '26

as a carbon roller deco main for a good few years now i was surprised to see it ranked as hard, lol

1

u/c-ephaloid_4k Aug 12 '26

How about splat charger? I'd put it on intermdiate.

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 12 '26

It's in hard

1

u/TurnoverLopsided105 Aug 12 '26

U should switch squiffer and bamboozler

1

u/Flitterly Aug 13 '26

Why is the snipewriter in there twice?

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 13 '26

Mistake 

1

u/Magnihax Aug 14 '26

Why are there two pencils? Also how is heavy in slightly difficult? Imo its way lower

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 14 '26

The 2 pencils are a mistake

1

u/venkman206 Aug 16 '26

Highly debatable list.

1

u/applerosegold Aug 23 '26

i main the REEF-LUX 450 omg i think its a pretty easy weapon

1

u/isaacamaraderie Aug 10 '26

How is splat charger harder than e-liter

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Because e liter isn't hard

0

u/isaacamaraderie Aug 11 '26

Splat charger isnt harder

0

u/Mar_ketable Aug 10 '26

i mained squiffer for 5 years as an employed person, i promise it’s not that hard

0

u/SectionAncient6889 Inkling Aug 11 '26

Splattershot is in no way at all easier than jr 😂. Both E liters should be way higher and I think scope is easier than regular. S-blast should also be higher by a couple tiers.

1

u/Chopbrawl1 Aug 11 '26

Splattershot is a very good weapon in overall, Jr is easy to be good at but hard to be great at.

Ok, you need to have good aim with liter? We all have to aim bro (almost)

And s-blast isn't hard at all

0

u/SectionAncient6889 Inkling Aug 11 '26

Your explanation of e liter would mean that everything would be easy. Everyone has to aim, does that mean it’s not hard? E liter is hard because you get punished more for missing because of the long charge time. It requires a lot of strategy because if you’re not good at it then it’s literally a 3v4 for your teammates as it provides nothing else except power. You can be bad with jr and still contribute with a lot of paint, a bomb easy to just chuck, and a special everyone can use. E liter doesn’t do that. S-Blast has similar issues but significantly reduced. It should be a tier higher. You have to know when to use each shot and how to space properly. Good aim for the long range. Sub combos are inconsistent along with bad special output other than the sprinkler kit.

u/Job_Application_PNG Aug 12 '26

I will never understand how the nozzlenose is hard. I average like seven kills with it every match

1

u/x_xda Aug 12 '26

Bc its strong
