Squids hands down.
>oh but I brought the hard counter-
Like no shit, that's the only way to make them playable is just completely shut them down.
Bots you can bring stupid shit like breaker spray and pray, click heads and have a good time.
Bugs are harder but just bringing a gun that clicks fast will help you, you don't need to bring an extremely sweaty build to counter anything.
Ayys > Bugs > Bots
Beating squids isn't bringing the right equipment, it's bringing the sweatiest loadout that can out DPS their insane spawns and kill the shit constantly trying to kill you.
It is the most meta required faction in the game because they will rape your butt otherwise. Honestly it's no wonder no one wants to play squids.
