How Tacticooler KILLED The Skirmisher Role

[@RedBlueProductions1]

cooler should be a breakable object, just like crab

[@AlexLi1122]

Not a bad idea cus I use it as cover sometimes too since it's invincible

[@chunkymonkey7983]

The fact that you can breakwavebreaker but not cooler is wild 😭

[@chaysewalls5180]

​@@chunkymonkey7983 Sneezeing on wave breaker destroys it

[@jjQlLlLq]

Wave breaker is weak as it is - move cooler's invincibility to wave breaker and voila. Lol.

[@onewingedakira]

Honestly, if they made cooler a breakable object, I can see that adding some much needed counterplay. unfortunately for wavebreaker tho, if they made it unbreakable, i doubt it would move up any more than one tier imo

[@dean9472]

There's another factor adding to all this and that's sharking. Tacticoolers buff gives away your location and most skirmishers benefit from sharking to go unnoticed as they work on closing the gap to the enemy players, or to get the jump on them when they do want to go for a splat because it gives that bit more surprise and time advantage in a 1v1. So often I have to decide between taking tac buffs or keeping my ability to shark, but if I'm actively avoiding getting tacticooler sometimes I'm probably better off just picking a different weapon that would more readily grab it, and working with the teams comp.

[@silly_dev1025]

That ink brush gameplay 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dynamorolleruser]

The tacticooler is literal necromancy 😭

[@dreamy_sparks]

I'm SO IMPRESSED by ur Brush gameplay I have never seen a brush player this good

[@RASTATROK]

wiper is the only weapon that's saved in the current meta because 1) it has range and thus can actually poke midrange weapons which are so prevaleny right now and 2) it can do chip damage which can help with comboing with other heavy damaging weapons like bucket, range and stamper which are extremely popular right now. even if it's a skirmisher it can partecipate in team fights unlike brush which is extremely selfish.

[@ハーパーサム]

@RASTATROK also its mobility kinda fucks with some meta midlines if they aren't lasering people that day

[@jakekentner2653]

I agree with Chara by nerfing the special saver to only save 80 to 75 percent of your special.

[@Dr_Nig]

It should be reduced to 30 APs (a bit more than half full APs), and Quick Respawn too should go down to 30 APs: what's the point of killing an opponent if their death isn't a penalty for them?

[@goretrance_x]

amazing video! honestly i do love cooler but as someone who does play wiper i wish it didn't completely didn't overtake the skirmisher role but i'm fine with it. you're really underrated creator i hope to see you grow as your videos are very high quality and well made!

[@onewingedakira]

Thankyou! I am actually shocked at the growth I've seen recently and I'm looking forward to seeing how far I can take it.

[@tome7295]

Hey, awesome video. Despite having a lot on time in Splatoon I know surprisingly little, but videos like these have been helping me loads!

[@illkeyLive]

i'd love it if after the first 10 seconds of cooler, the AP for QR and Special Saver gradually decrease to 0: if you get killed with 2 seconds left of tacticooler, you only get like 6AP of QR and Special Saver (you'd still get all the movement buffs the entire duration)

[@DeltaTried]

Man, watching your Inkbrush gameplay is making me want to play Nouveau again. I stopped playing it due to the special, but I still do miss the weapon.

[@OliyTC]

Super well-done video :)

[@sloshy2412]

great video akira!! it was fun playing with and against you btw

[@onewingedakira]

Omg it's THE sloshy! Tyty

[@ハーパーサム]

Hello! I think this video is more based outside of jp meta, one tricks at the top level of Japan like me counter cool by halting the usage as they don't have good positioning to obtain the cooler and skew the staggering to make then hold cooler for longer

[@jjQlLlLq]

So make sure that even if they deploy cooler, the teammates can't get to it? 🤔 And make the cooler deployer (grey nzap, pencil, edit) stand on bad places so they can't deploy cooler/deploy cooler on bad places in the first place? And I'm not sure what you mean by skewing the staggering, can you illustrate an example, if you don't mind?

[@ハーパーサム]

@jjQlLlLq you have the idea to most of its extent, skewing means to deposition something, e.g. Pen wants to place cooler but we constantly are trading and slowing them down by trading with the midlines, this allows us to put pressure on the pen and cooler to be much more dangerously placed and potential less value as the midline cant recieve said cooler, furthermore you can ruin positioning by forcing them to look at flanks thus means smaller windows for cooler to be output as they have to move toward one spot but if they do that it can open up a flank giving up space

[@katchy99]

You have really good movement!👏🏿🔥

[@onewingedakira]

[@eeveemaster243]

It's funny how cooler became meta because of it's instant respawn, yet its other buffs that everyone ignores sorta also lets every weapon be a skirmisher as a biproduct lol Edit: Honestly I'm hoping they halve or remove the QR buff from cooler so the meta can be in a healthy state again

[@LogoniusSmock-kw9gx]

Really great video

[@planomania]

As a tri nouveau and dapples main, I really don't want my special to get nerfed but I can acknowledge that your main point of reducing special saver wouldn't necessarily mean the special wouldn't be worth picking anymore. Now that I think about it, reducing the NECESSITY for a cooler to be on a team might mean more weapon diversity for cooler options as well. Right now, no one runs anything other than pencil or maybe heavy edit for cooler spam. If it was less necessary to be pumping out constant coolers we might get different backlines and see more tri nouveaus in competitive play. Ntri really can't get enough coolers per game to be the cooler pick weapon and dies often when doing its slayer role so we don't really see teams picking it.

[@jamesspirek6992]

I think it’s crazy how people hated ink armor for being op but don’t think cooler is op. It’s crazy how much better it is than ink armor and everybody just accepts it

[@madeliner1682]

based af

[@DaBoy2187]

the way i would wanna make cooler work is to make it always base 20 sec of gear up, but would need to use APx1.75=what amount of gear up they get like 26 Special Power would be 46 AP on everything(excluding resistance/bombdef), to get maximum benefit of 57, they would need to use 3 mains and 1 subs of SP to get full QR, Intensify, Mobility, Special Saver, QSJ,

[@momsaccount4033]

Ayyy, Zenless music. Good taste

[@onewingedakira]

I am in love with the Zenless OST. unable to listen to anything else rn

[@unconcernedsalad2]

any video that acknowledges that roles are fluid is an automatic like

[@metalmagerin3]

I'm seeing that cooler just gives free stats for basically nothing, so why not give it a downside? Anyone who drinks is Marked for Death, taking more damage. You complained inkbrush doesn't do enough damage to kill, so there you go. You wanna take a drink? Get two-shotted boi

[@onewingedakira]

That's quite interesting actually. it makes the swarming of cooler at easier to deal with

[@TheLaXandro]

Baisically, skirmishers control the pace of the match, and Cooler makes the pace uncontrollably fast. When death is free, bullying weapons like Tetras and Inkbrush turn from something opponents respect and try to play around into something people will readily trade with to halt, and that completely wrecks their gameplan. I say, severely nerf single cooler application, make it only give mobility and maybe minor amounts of QR (like, a mains worth, considering it's S1-like unconditional QR it'll still be strong). To compensate, make it stackable, with twin Cooler giving current effects, giving appropriate reward for appropriate investment and teamplay. A big problem of current Cooler is that Snipewriter is by far the best weapon to use it, a backliner that can safely paint, dispense chip damage and dispose of most other backliners (aside from true chargers). But twin Snipewriter comp is too passive, meaning second Cooler would inevitably have to be a less safe weapon. Also as a quality of life improvement, make it only pick up if you are not swimming. It'll be especially important after nerfs when being roided up might actually be unfavourable.

[@iromez1812]

How? Step 1: Haunt & Respawn Punisher nulifies Tacticooler Step 2: iterate step 1 Step 3: repeat step 2

[@Lisku_]

Yooo you are so underrated

[@BigPro1123]

Not related but I think I went against you not long after the recent update. (I didn’t see the name but recognized your inkling) You absolutely smoked my team with the new brush buff

[@Sylilkal]

I think making other support specials just as good as cooler would be a better way to get more weapons onto the meta

[@blu3m0nkey]

2:00 You said flingza is "Boring" Yeah uh huh Sharking is whats REALLY fun about that weapon, and when you cant shark you ink spawn with like 3 flicks and you'd most likely have a special.

[@azrend]

every time i heard a genshin impact sound effect, my neurons activated

[@Luxius_8]

7:47 you forgot one "basicaly"

[@teroblepuns]

Why did they nerf my respawn punisher, was a perfect counter for cooler

[@onewingedakira]

idk I don't like respawn punisher personally. it's not really that fun of an ability. it just means people who get killed by an RP weapon get to play the game less. the less meta RP is the better imo

[@J_ey]

I don't blame you for the zzz faze it's a fun game

[@char0nspaws]

As an inkbrush main I am sad

[@Freshsquid-k5h]

reduce the effects by 66%

[@kaichu9446]

i would like a cooler nerf so that it feels like splatoon 1, my example would be making swimspeed/runspeed 12ap but stackable(benefiting splatlings a bit cause they struggle a bit RN, also a reference to S1 comeback) no special saver cause, its the least fun aspect of the special tbh, lowering the QR to 40 ap (could be stackable, but keep in mind cooler gives you faster respawn even without the QR) i would keep the intensify for blasters cause, cooler is basicly the only reason range is alive RN (also lowering it to 40ap wouldnt even change that much, even for range) keep Inkres cause it isnt that bad (also inkres was kinda broken in release S1), it could be lowered a bit tho just for the sake of it. and keeping QSJ cause its probably the least hated part of cooler as far as i know and lower qr and special saver means people would consider jumping out thats how i see future cooler beeing still the strongest special, but a bit of window for skermishers and non cooler comps to shine

[@lies_zip_80085]

o7 Brella

[@giganticmoon]

i really just want cooler out of the meta i need help with my inkbrush

[@Lima_does_stuff]

so true
