Range blaster: revert 9.0 nerfs (and maybe 200p kraken)

Bow: 2nd ring charge 2-3 frames faster

Decav: charge slash and melee hitboxes 5-7% thinner (that’s not really for balance it’s just a pet peeve of mine why is it so large)

And then whatever other buffs to low tiers they want to do

Yeah that’s fair. My team tried double cooler recently and it feels absolutely awful, and the output is pretty not fantastic™️ on its own. I feel like Nintendo wouldn’t do a 20pfs buff though so it would probably be a while before we get 180

My dream patch would look something like

WNTR pfs: 200 -> 180

Pencil range: splatterscope -> splat charger

Pencil paint: 3-5% wider (to offset the paint loss)

Machine endlag: revert nerf by 2-3 frames (to be a WNTR partner)

Jetpack aoe: inside hitbox wider by 7-10% (for ballpoint & rapid)

Cont

IMO, the moment winter rapid gets a pfs buff (prob 190, but hopefully 180) it’ll be good enough to at least compete with pencil. Like obviously pencil would still be better without a nerf, but the gap would be significantly smaller

Although I think rapid’s potential partners might need buffs too

Been thinking about this a little longer, and I think slosher or s-blast are probably the best fits for this comp. They combo with bamboo and mint and they both provide good entry specials (plus the aoe is nice). Between them, I'd prefer s-blast (for burst) but with the patch nerfs idk which is best

As a rapid player, I really don’t love rapid with bamboo. Yes, the combos are nice, but they kinda occupy the same space and that really slows the comp down, which is the opposite of what a bamboo or rapid comp wants. I would much rather have something like vdualie or if you want double cooler zgal

That being said, I know some other modes kinda suck at top level due to certain aspects of map and special design and the optimal game plans that come with that, but I would at least like to see one other mode being played

I really don’t enjoy zones only because the objective is really boring. Knockouts don’t feel satisfying at all, and the idea of “hold this position for a minute and a half” is not exactly the kind of riveting gameplay that I’m looking for as a viewer.

The new Tri-stringer (I forgot what it’s called)

Just thought of another one

Winter rapid
Crab edit
Mint
vSword

For flat, long range maps:
Crab charger
Zap
Mint
S-blast

For everything else:
Winter rapid pro
Mint
.96 deco
Crab dread

Bonus because I’m curious what you think about this:
Jet bow
Zap
Decav
S-blast
