Splatoon is another beast. Aren't chargers still projectile and not histscan? I think the only hitscan that game truly has is the line marker and nobody plays with that. My biggest qualm with Splatoon is the range on the different chargers basically makes Eliter and stock charger the only ones for that role useful. Disagree if you want but I see pencil as different than trad chargers.
I see what you're saying about the effective fighting distance but I say Sniper having an infinite range but a more exclusive install target makes his efforts mechanically more strict.
Plus flanking in S3 (I didn't really play 1 or 2 much) is borderline impossible since mids so often lack flank routes or only posses flanks from very specific paths requiring you to enter extreme vulnerability. It's basically the 2fort problem, doesn't matter if my range is limited if you must pass through.
