    I honestly think crab meta scared the devs into giving crab only two weapons (after base game) and both off them 210p with better kits already just to make sure crab meta doesn’t come back 🦀

      Similar to how Sting Ray was so busted in Splatoon 2 that they didn't give it to any weapon beyond Squeezer, which came out in December of 2017, the exact same year Splatoon 2 came out in.

      @@SALTYTOAD00 Don't think these are comparable. Ray was taken off kits it was supposed to be on while Crab is on a decent amount, I think its just a coincidence. Regardless it wouldn't make much sense to put it on something like edit out of no where. Ray was prolly removed for game breaking attributes, crab was just a "good special"

    same reason there's so few inkjets... and ink vacs... and- okay look basically excessive number of specials, minimal amount of kits.
    Early S3 meta definitely didn't help, because the devs were like 'oh geee golly gosh we can't put this on good stuff now', so the moment Cooler meta started happening - they basically wanted that and ONLY that. Why else would they give Stamper Toxic Mist? To 'nerf' the kit. Why put it on Hedit? Because it's already got a Cooler kit that's REALLY good. It's the same reason I think Zooka was left untouched (And still arguably is)
    As soon as they nerfed Crab to the point where every other special basically deletes it - that's it. It was over.

      Yeah, the more we see new kits the more I don't really like the idea of the devs balancing certain kits based on how good the special is. Cause then we see stuff like crab which were meta at one point so then the devs refuse to put it on anything.

      @@guillermocervisalmeron2209 Vac has potential as a concept, but it's so inflexible in implementation. Imagine if you couldn't throw the hammer. You activate it and that's it, you're just stuck with it for 10 seconds. Or if Zooka didn't go away after 3 shots and you had to wait for the special bar to drop to 0 regardless. That's Vac, except worse because Vac requires both teammates AND opponents around to be useful.
      If it could be shot early, it'd be lowkey one of the best specials rn, and a pleasantly technical one at that.

      Yeah, the mobile mode Endlag nerf made Crab a lot harder to use.
      On top of that, you can just randomly get demolished by a Tri-Zooka from out of nowhere the second you activate your Crab, with no counterplay whatsoever.
      Making Zooka a hard counter to Crab was a horrible, horrible mistake.

      @@closetedfurry6018 I kinda disagree to be honest. I mean, yeah Crab gets easily broken by most special weapons because usually they have high object damage (and crab is considered an object).
      But Splatoon 3's maps allow crab to put itself in safe spots, that are usually hard to reach. It puts an insane amount of pressure for 8 seconds (and it's a lot). Most of the specials you mentionned need to find a way to approach crab, and depending on where it's activated, it's nearly impossible.
      I agree that some specials are really good into crab. Zip is prolly the most annoying one since crab can't track it, and usually the zipcaster is a Stamper player that completely shreds the crab. Inkjet and Zooka i find it inconsistent, it really depends. If the crab has been shooting for more than 2 seconds, its fire rate skyrockets and Inkjet **can** be demolished, even if it's hard to track. As a Zooka player myself, sometimes i shoot at the crab once and kill him, but sometimes even 2 rockets can't seem to break it and i get shredded cuz i can't get out of the crab's line of sight. I honestly think it's not as one-sided as you guys make it out to be (but maybe that's a skill issue on my end, idk).
      I'll end my essay by saying that, in any case, if someone uses its special to counter your crab, well that's not so bad considering they wasted an entire special just to half the duration of yours. And if you find the situation threatening, you can always use ball form to stall and potentially kill the enemy when you get out of crab (not consistent though)

    • @kylepangilinan9075
      @kylepangilinan9075 8 дней назад +2

      @@closetedfurry6018 The thing is that specials only began to threaten Crab after the devs had to buff them to add counterplay. Since you could reasonably tank multiple specials with a crab and still come out on top, it was far too much control for a single Special to give. Making the counterplay typically cost a Special in return is a fair trade off as both parties need to be aware of each others resources. A Special for Special trade isn't bad in terms of balance, especially when Crab is capable of holding a point for 6+ seconds at ranges that aren't really contestable outside of other longer ranged Specials, and thus forces those specials to be burned to stop it, rather than being used in other, potentially more effective manners.
      Crab was way too strong, and it needed other specials to be able to counter it. Now, it's still very strong, but requires smart positioning and awareness to shine, rather than just being completely uncontestable for the 8 seconds its active.

    On the note about burst bombs, why has Nintendo clung on to the idea of keeping sub weapon percent lines the same across all weapons? They've learned to make points for special different per weapon, so why not subs? It feels like the subs are currently balanced around the much more ink efficient weapons, like shooters, and it tends to break down with the more ink hungry weapons. For example, the ink efficiency of wall on 52. Gal feels very fair, but on something like cExplo, the wall feels borderline unusable because of the ink cost. (I don't play either of those weapons so feel free to bash me if that's a bad example). Changing it on a per weapon basis would really open up a lot of things when it comes to game balancing, and I really don't think there's a great argument against doing it.

    • @VGF80

    I think to me crab is an awkward case where it's not entirely too uncommon but it's on a lot of overlapping weapons (the launch 4 having like 3 different ways they overlap with each other). Granted said weapons don't 100% play the same one bit, but there's limits to how distinct they CAN be when 3/6 crab weapons are shooters.
