I actually got the Nova to try out a more support focused gameplan, and it does it's job of revealing and suppressing the enemy really well. tagging enemies with point sensor and basically siccing my teammates on them is so much fun.

Not every shooter should be a copy paste weapon without weaknesses and I think they did really well designing this one. It has strengths and it has weaknesses. Play to its strengths and it can do well but force its weaknesses and you will struggle.

@@v0idvice640 I think an accuracy buff would take away from the inherent design of the weapon. Where as fire rate increase would keep to what the weapon was designed for. Make it too accurate and it's too much like jet squelcher or pro. But if you increase fire rate, it brings it closer to what it's supposed to be, mid range support aerospray

True, and as such it's really dependent on your teams performance which can be really frustrating at times, especially since you often find yourself wondering what the F your team is doing 20 kilometers away from the frontline. However, if you have decent players in your team, it can be very good, even on it's own, the 30+ kills I have archieved with it in one match sometimes don't come from nowhere.

I'm actually maining this one. If everything goes well I can have 30+ kills on a regular ranked mode match. But I'd say average is around 15. I used to main the Jet Squelcher, but since the set's of the Jet Squelcher are a hot mess with secondary and special weapons that don't do anything or actively sabotage you I switched. I actually have to say through that it isn't that bad in combat. Yes, you have to hit 5 times, but I'd say it's kill time is better than the Jet Squelcher since it's fire rate is higher and you're more likely to actually hit thanks to your 2ndary weapon and the higher rate. Also, it can still outrange a lot of weapons which also helps.

Not gonna lie I dont mind the damage being weak but it needs one of two things to compensate and it has neither; perfect shot accuracy (Like Splash) or super high fire rate (Like aerospray, N zap or splash) Being a 5 shot with mediocre fire rate and unreliable shots is just too much; which really sucks cus I genuinely love being a support player with point sensor I would def say that the weapon is absolutely still playable though!

Personally I'd call the Nova a Splattershot Pro with less damage, but WAY MORE ANNOYING. Nova is extremely powerful when trying to scope out opponents' positioning, with Point Sensor's capability to reveal your opponent's location regardless of abilities, and Killer Wail 5.1's pseudo-tracking ability (it locks on to opponents in its range). It's a great support weapon, and helps apply constant pressure. Will I be using it, probably not, because I prefer being the dedicated Spawn Camper with Respawn Punisher and Quick Respawn lol. Is the Nova able to be a meta threat, probably.

Tbh im perfectly okay with it being a five shot kill, as it gives the weapon more identity. My big issue is the accuracy, as Nova has the worst accuracy of any mid-range weapon. I really wish it had some sort of "fighting mode" to negate the bad rng. Most shooters have a characteristic where the longer you fire the less accurate shots you typically get, and i think it would be cool if Nova had that but to the extreme. My rework idea: Upon popping out of ink Nova would get perfect accuracy for about 8 or 9 shots before rapidly decaying to its current spread over the next 5 shots. It would take a full second in ink for the accuracy to recover. Jumping does NOT effect the spread. (Any numbers given here can be tweaked for balance sake). I think this would be a good change for the weapon not only to make it an overall stronger main weapon, but it would also straight up be more fun to use. Nova would now reward players more for their aim with a trade off of being limited in how much time you can spend in the mode. On top of that it still allows the weapon to play more supportive with the spray mode since it still would paint better. TLDR: Long aerosplash

TBH I'd be fine with it being a support weapon if it had a different name. The Splattershot name always carried with it the reputation of the basic, go-to weapons of their respective ranges, able to hold up in a fight. Rarely the best, but never the worst. The Nova however feels like more of a support than the Jr, and that just never feels right, especially with a name like Nova too.
