Meta adaption: I’ve always upheld the notion “pick a good weapon if you wanna win” in competitive games. Adaption and swapping to better options is simply part of player progression. If you want to one-trick sth like sword that’s fine but don’t complain when you lose when we all have free choice.

Ok as much as everyone hates 52 blaster: I think it’s in the game’s best interest to buff literally anything to match the top tier’s level of power. Nerfing 52 blaster is cool but that alone wouldn’t actually get ppl to play the game in its 4th year life cycle, esp if they’re not doing more 3rd kits

Cooler weapon diversity: One underrated aspect of this meta is the amount of viable cooler weapons rn. 6 out of 9 of them are relevant in comp building and only H3 is horridly bad. There are cooler options for every role and cooler output is fairly balanced. We came a long way since the pencil era.

Importance of renewable resources in Raiders: 1. Spiralite Gems 2. Spiralite Shards (HUGE GAP) 3. Boss Salmonid Drops (The gem economy is so bad in the post-game ngl)

Is it just me, or do the Raiders’ hairstyles look kinda ugly… (EXCEPT FOR THE DEFAULT INKLING ONE AND BANDANA OCTOLING ONE AND THE UHHH WAIT SPOILERS OOPS :3)

The upsides of living in Hong Kong: Getting to play Raiders 12 hours earlier than NA, getting a NS2+MWK bundle for only 370USD (converted) The downsides of living in Hong Kong: EVERYTHING ELSE 😭

Meta weapons talk (getting this out b4 raiders comes along): I srsly don’t understand what’s so bad about switching over to sth like 52 or blaster and dropping weapons when they fall off. Why on earth would you arbitrarily lock urself out from playing the best winning options??? It’s just dumb ngl.
