How Nintendo DESTROYED Its BEST Weapon

[@dark-death6982]

The reason that brella seemed to have gotten worse from 2 to 3 is the netcode because the delay differences between people are so polarizing

[@abraham3673]

which was caused by 2 big factors: 1.) nintendo using a new online system, and 2.) changing the physics engine between s1/s2 to s3

[@dark-death6982]

Yeah and also even with all of the fixes, they still feel like they did nothing

[@latenitewaffles7926]

[@BluVapour]

I may on copium but now that Nintendo fixed most of Brella's bugs in Splatoon 3, now they can focus on buffing them next patch. If that doesn't end up happening then I'll forever curse the devs for making the weapon class terrible.

[@plasmasupremacy9321]

I choose to believe that was their plan all along (copium 🥲)

Hopefully they see that despite the bug fixes, people still aren't playing them, and realize they need to do something (like revert the damage nerfs). I miss playing Tent.

[@plasmasupremacy9321]

[@FortyTwoBlades]

Yes, I think until now they've been wary of buffing the Brella class until they fixed certain bugs that were preventing them from playing as intended. Now that most of those bugs (though not all) have been fixed I think they'll be more confident about altering the stats of the weapons themselves.

[@Petanifer]

We need an aggressive Tenta Brella kit. Vacuum seems good on paper but it’s really bad for the weapon especially paired with beakons. Like Chara said, the weapon needs to fight and removing damage options is terrible for it. Bring back the camo brella Nintendo

The best part about Brella when it could function properly was that it encouraged supportive gameplay which is something a lot of players in Splatoon Stuggle with at lower levels. As an Ex-Brella main it’s quite sad to see it’s decline in the meta.

[@MantledMimi]

I am also an ex-brella main and I completely agree

[@ariaofthe6strings230]

Fellow former brella main. One thing I LOVED to do in low level splat 2 ranked was guide the rainmaker and shield them as the went forward. That with MPU and RSU made it easy to protect the rainmaker by shielding them and also being ahead of them just in case bombs were thrown. I LOVED this support style, and now the weapon is so bad I don’t even wanna play it casually. I wish they would rework it but that’s not gonna happen.

[@Fenyx_Birb]

I honestly wish there was more ways to play supportive, because being stuck in low levels means you get players who only know to "fight and then fight more and then fight more" Seriously, i've had my last alive teammates just run into the entire enemy team by themselves.

[@ethanbaer65]

I think what would make brella really useful is to increase its damage, obviously, but also to increase its object damage. With so many hp specials in the meta, brella would do really well as an object shredder similar to the splatanas and might bring it back into play.

[@squirtleislife1312]

Not sure how I feel about buffing the class just to counter the current meta. Brellas counter shooters, being good against objects doesn't feel fitting for a weapon that comes with an object stapled to it

[@brentus668]

I think brellas could help with the crab meta if the devs just made shooters deal less damage to the shields and also bettered the paint output on brellas, because if nintendo wants Tristrike as the crab counter then brellas should have better paint output but also slightly nerf Tristrike as to not make it too strong

[@Fenyx_Birb]

I mean there's no "one big problem" with splatoon 3, it's more so smaller problems that add up overtime Splash-o-matic having a very versatile kit Splatanas, Tri stringers, and Brellas basically have been getting no kits/new weapons or VERY minor balance changes Maps not being very open, which lets specials like crab tank dominate Nintendo online being *questionable* etc

[@johndelanie3649]

They don't care, splat 3 continues to do gangbusters in terms of sales, I wouldn't be surprised if they favor shooters so much because that's what most new people are drawn towards, so they make them extra good to get people hooked early

[@lgndrylucas1984]

As someone who used to mess around with brella back in S2, and has been trying to make it usable in S3, I really felt this. my biggest gripe is how much Nintendo (at the moment) has ignored brella. Sure, they fixed some bugs, but in needs a few buffs! Undercover could definitely use a good kit (burst+rain maybe) and buffs They have been ignoring brella, over-nerfed machine, while *just barely* toning back splash by making more crab counters. Then *buffed* 52!? As you have said in the past, the shooter privilege at the moment is definitely worrying for the future of the game

[@brentus668]

With the 52's buff we might just get another 4 shooter meta again with teams consisting of: Ttek 52 or Nova Aerospray RG Splash

[@SemiContext]

I really hate that the brellas aren't good anymore. I hope that Nintendo give it what it needs to be good (especially undercover)

[@Agent-8]

I use to be a drills main in splatoon 2 And when I saw it’s prformence in splatoon 3 I cried sooo Facts smallfry

[@roboscout64]

It’s also sad because a good brella feels like it would be a good answer to the crab/splash meta we have going on. Brellas obviously theoretically counter splash. And it also has triple inkstrike which is currrently the “screw you hp specials” special. Plus while sprinkler doesnt do much in combat. It does at least allow you to build special faster. Which is helpful when said special is as helpful in the current meta as it is.

[@DeerWren]

As a splat brella main in 2 and someone who has desperately tried to make undercover work in 3 (the bugs w/ splat brella got to me after a while), this is both super validating and saddening to watch. I knew it was bad, but didn't realize just how badly they handled this weapon class. Thanks for putting this together and breaking down how everything went. Your Splatoon videos are some of my favorites and I really appreciate your hard work. Hope you've had a nice week so far 🐙☂❤

[@chesscat_]

I remember wanting to learn how to play brella back near the end of Splatoon 2. When I felt like I was finally getting the hang of it and started to play 3, it was a very rude awakening to learn that almost none of the work I put into figuring out the weapon mattered. Plus buff brella.

[@dtthire]

And just like where splat brella keeps shooters in check, Tenta Brella is supposed to be the weapon that keeps backlines like chargers in check, with its giant shield protecting an area from them. But the shield is so weak in this game that eliter COUNTERS tent, the damage multiplier is so absurdly high that a single bomb and charger/eliter shot destroys a tent shield, both open and launched, making it ridiculously easy to neutralize the weapon. Brellas are a key part of the game's healthy state and with their negligence of the class, the devs are making the game a lot worse.

[@GeebzGBZ]

It hurts falling in love with Tenta Brella right before the patch that killed it, it's so inconsistent for it's kills, direct shots need to perfectly land to kill, and it sucks, I just want to play my pushing wall. Frankly I feel if they returned the brellas back to their "overtuned" state in balance for 3, they'd be only good, given that they have far, far more inherent counters in this game, like basically every special being one.

Not gonna lie Chara, I think this may be one of your best-written and -edited videos thus far (super well done Logi on the editing!!). I already knew most of the things you covered, but you add so many really relevant details and comparisons (like comparing T-tek to Brella in the latest patch) that the faults with how Brella is being treated become super clear. The graphics Logi put in were super clean (I loved the use of the little weapon class symbols and how they colour-shifted between 2 and 3) and emphasised what was being pointed out in a scene super well. I think it's easy to slap in a shot of gameplay demonstrating what is being said, but you often put in effort to illustrate exactly what it is that makes what's happening on-screen significant/relevant. I really hope Brellas get fixed, it's a genuine shame that it feels like there's only ten and a half weapon classes :/

Yooo you're a Splatoon player, that's cool! But yes Splatoon 3's game balance is really making me sad. Ttek literally is the embodiment of the fact the devs don't seem to know what they're doing when balancing this game

[@FortyTwoBlades]

They really need to make it so that defending brellas take priority in the netcode over attackers and that alone would probably go a long way to fixing the problem. The shield getting shredded too easily is a problem, sure, but the shield simply WORKING is the biggest factor that needs fixing, and is likely responsible for the bulk of its unreliability. Differences in lag between matches means that some matches it'll work okay and in others you'll be hit by stuff that--from your perspective--you absolutely should have blocked.

[@hahabearseathoney]

i have a feeling that they’re probably not going to buff brellas until we get a new brella (or maybe a new kit if a new weapon for each class isnt confirmed). a brand new brella would most likely come out in summer so we just need to suffer until then

The reasons you stated for why brella is such a cool and interesting design for a shield type weapon are the precise reason why Undercover existing is such a baffling design decision to me.

Fix ideas First undo the nerf. Increase damage, special output, etc Next for the buff. What if we gave the shield a object damage resistance. Let’s say an object has 500hp and gets 3.25 shot by a charger. What if that same charger takes 4 shots to kill a brella with 500hp? Same damage, but could help with surviving things like crab or splatana. Or we increase its damage output and don’t add the hp resistance. It would be a killing machine that struggles against object damage heavy weapons

[@fish9199]

One of my favorite things about the brella is that it's great for tower control, both previously in 2 and especially 3. If you are on the tower you can still do a good amount of damage while protecting your teammates and yourself from things like a suction bomb or specific specials. It's current kit has triple inkstrike which is great for both taking and defending the tower.

[@johndelanie3649]

Brella doesn't get touched over the entirety of Splat 3's lifetime so far apart from bug fixes, meanwhile shooters, a weapon class that has always been in a good spot and consistent, is given class wide buffs for no reason.

[@chibiastro]

this is kind of what happened to machine, ppl started to complain about it being too "spammy" and stuff like that so Nintendo decided to nerf pretty much every aspect of the weapon besides it's damage and paint. It's still a good weapon and wasn't nerfed to the ground like brella but It's strange how ppl complain about the meta being overly dominated by shooters when Nintendo listened to ppl's complaints about machine and nerfed it a bunch.

[@VGF80]

Either Nintendo is being picky with who they listen to or shooters aren't getting enough complaints as well as the handicaps that they are long overdue for. Or a combination of both.

[@ElecManEXE]

Shooters are too "normal" for a lot of people to notice or complain about being OP, I think. It's a normal gun shooting normal bullets in a normal straight line, it can't be OP, it's the basic baseline weapon that makes up a shooter game (it's even right there in the name!). It doesn't stand out, deaths to shooters blend together because there are so many of them. Died to a normal gun, eh, that's just how it be in shooter game. But getting killed by a sniper rifle or a swirly ink ball or a paint brush, those are distinct and easier to pick out and remember and may require different tactics to deal with. So when those get lots of kills, ah, I remember lots of that, must be broken.

200iq blaster buff Making brellas good again

[@SuperJxl]

i like how when stating the number of previous classes before splatoon 3 you counted brushes and blasters as their own and not part of rollers and shooters

[@lemonaid65]

If they don’t fix Brella at all in Splatoon 3 I would be convinced that the devs have no idea what they’re doing.

Remember that these are the same devs that completely gutted the Roller back in Splatoon 1 and haven't made any real attepts to fixing it/buffing it all the way up to today. (Aside from small QoL updates.) That weapon struggles a lot. Meanwhile, Shooters get all the attention.
