Sword and rapid aren't being run though because they're both basically make sblast impossible to run

If sword or rapid was more standard, edit would be the better weapon to run

Ngl the comments ive seen so far are extremely general things about the guns and not why theyre actually better in the current meta. Its simple sblast + bucket busted and pen combos better with both weapons compared to edit

Dread d is too good of a main gun to put in bottom 10. Reminds me of 3-6 months after the release of vdread when people still believed it was bottom 10.

Unironically just watch choco, lobstar, rimaru, or melon to learn the game and learn the indepth mechanics and positioning of your weapon off feel. Watching quality gameplay over gameplay thats niche and more catered to you is better imo

Going back to grand roll, watch them play dread in X like a year ago and now when they're actually grinding it. You can tell before they played it more like a painting bucket and now they play it like its own separate weapon entirely.

What i think is you should get 1 player to watch and improve your fundamental understanding of the game, and one player to hard focus your weapon mechanics with. A lot of those gameplay videos are players that dont fully understand their weapons whatsoever

Youre not wrong, this is probably the best you can get for most weapons. But id argue vods of a player clearly grinding a weapon is better than gameplay. Chocopero L-3 vods in s2 would be much more beneficial to understand the weapon as a whole as current L-3 gameplay imo

Ironically Rapid pro for the longest time had 0 players until people actually started picking up the weapon.

This only really works for like 80% of the community. Ik for me at least, dread didnt get any good vods to watch until grand roll started grinding out the weapon. Each season only like 30% of the weapons in this game even get 3k. If you play any mediocre weapon you aren't get vods

most people don't see dynamo in this way, but like the only value you get from a dynamo is the same value you'll get from something like heavy. it will deny space, and will only get kills if the opponent is stupid enough to run into it

weapons like rp, explo, well, edit, heavy, dynamo cant really play back as much because they'll get 0 value. but you play around them as the opponent a very similar way for one reason or another.

i call it a "fake" backline. it plays like a normal weapon (not pussy) except it functions the same way as a backline when the opponent needs to run into you.

But that'd be difficult because getting data of low level players is impossible because nintendo stopped stat.ink from working unless you manually put games in which you can obviously bullshit
stat.ink -- Go Deeper, Have More Fun.
stat.ink saves and analyzes your Splatoon results.

You'd probably need a lot of data, but if you as a player could record your data in any way and present it to be (such as stat.ink when it worked); and people saw it as a valid form of proof of skill. Then people in lower levels could use it as a replacement.

Div is entirely based off results of you + 3 other players. If anything it accurately represents you as a player much worse than normal results; but I do find this concept to be a good idea.

Also ngl sos is 10x less competitive than any of these weeklies, sos is literally the issue in the scene being a point grinding tourney for everyone. No one loses points except the low levels cause everyone gains from groups

Notice how you go into sendou, the next week the only actual tourneys you "care" about are skill capped, Triton, the 2 weeklies i listed, and Wednesday having sos/pp for some reason

The comp scene before sendouq had "slop weeklies" they just had a much less divided scene so it simply was better and felt like more people were in the scene. Cause like in my career from like div 4-1 I dont think i played a single team under div 6 because they just dont play normal tourneys
