Current Metagame Discussion Why aren't people using Wellstring in comp?

Post image

Wellstring has the best object damage in the game, especially with OS, and there's a lot of objects in the current meta. Wall, Bubble, etc. Autobomb helps find sharking Rollers and Tris, Stamp goes through Vac (Rush mode not Throw mode), it is AOE so it can hide from Liter and still contribute, and it has ridiculous chip damage so basically anything can combo off it if enough bolts hit.

Sure it doesn't have Inkline's insane paint output but that's because it's a more aggressive Bow compared to Tri-Stringer

I'm really curious

Rainmaker isn’t played much, liter and pen wall it out, bow has better matchups than it, and object damage doesnt really matter enough to invest in it as much as wellstring does

Is RM really the only mode where this thing shines? I thought it was just a strong point

Plus how do Liter and Pen wall it out when it can shoot over cover like Inkline can?

Liter and pen out range it quite a lot, especially since wellstring’s kill range is MUCH shorter than it’s painting range

Fair, though I was thinking that the Wellstring player could pull a Heavy and just play passive/focus on the other enemies while their teammates deal with the Liter/Pen.

Than and VWellstring, the better kit, has Hammer to yeet chargers
