I've mostly been using Dualie Squelchers in 3. It was my secondary after Sploosh in 2, but with all the open chokepoints in 3, Sploosh is useless to me. I went from B- to B last night, but I've barely played Anarchy and started at B- with the data import. In the TC and SZ matches I've played, I actually have managed to splat people around as much as I've been splatted, depending on the teams.

But yeah with squelchies I'll shoot at an aerospray or splattershot or whatever from a distance, and usually hit once at most as they walk up and murder me no problem. Once I was engaging another squelchers user who was firing uphill at me and hit me multiple times while none of my shots connected.

Last night I tried out some rollers and lost all like ten turf wars in the process. Of course there's an adjustment period with new weapons, but that seemed excessive. I did manage some satisfying splats, but some flicks definitely underperformed. Although testing on the balloons in the lobby, I guess the flicks can also be inconsistent if you're more than a foot or two away, so that's fair. Kinda disappointed at how risky it is to ink the ground with rolling though.

Are you dodge rolling? Afaik squelchers have really inconsistent aim until you dodge. Also, you shouldn't worry too much about getting kills using squelchers, they're not generally slayer weapons. Focus on getting enemy attention and not dying to make kills easier for slayers.

Rollers rely heavily on sharking/ambushing. You'll lose pretty much every straight up fight with a player of similar skill. Most of them also suck at turfing so if you can't reliably get kills they're not good in turf war. Also, don't use the roll. Vertical flicks should be your main mode of attack.

Maybe look into weapon roles if you haven't and see what appeals to your playstyle.
