(BananaSlug) #1

after looking at the stats i saw that its almost like k 121…
i was doing good with it ! i stopped thinking that i have disadvantage because the weapon is just weaker that others.

i never will understand human brain

You should really take more time to edit your posts, mate. The actual point of your argument (if there is one) is very unclear… Also you have a typo in your freaking title…

What is this meant to be about?

The “Bliahlok” apparently.

It’s not too hard to understand really. Psychology plays a big factor in how good you are with some weapons. A lot of people feel the Blish is weak a lot because they think “kek” when they think SMG. If you fire a Blish like you do a Kek it will be weak. If you fire a Blish like a K121 then it removes that mental barrier.

I get it because that’s how I treat the Blishlok. I don’t think Kek/Crotzni when I fire it. I think K121 and draw on that experience and it makes the Blish feel pretty powerful.

I also know that, psychologically, I hate the DE and I want to think of it was weak even though it’s not and my stats don’t support it being weak at all. I think a lot of players have that same feeling about the Blish. Especially ones who just want to use the Kek/Crotzni.

^ That. Get used to slight adjustments while firing the Blish makes all the difference in the world. Just practice on a blank wall hitting the same spot while strafing/moving till muscle memory automatically starts to adjust recoil.

It is my very favorite gun.

That seems more like you’re practicing the muscle memory of aiming while strafing with different MERCS (due to their different movement speeds) than with different GUNS… Either way - good to practice.

the bish is opopop in my opinion, its pretty much fraggers MG but an smg, almost no recoil, and on fast classes

…Except that the K-121 has a DPS of 135 while the Blishlok has only 120. The only similarity it shares is that they both have lower firerates than most other guns.

But that’s why they are similar. Not the same, but similar. Sure, it’s an SMG and has lower DPS and a much smaller mag but they fire similarly enough that you can draw on the experience of one gun and transfer it easily to the other.

Something that throws me off is the sound it does, strangely.

I make loud “brack!” noises in my head when firing it to feel better about it.

Yes it handles and fires in a similar way, but what Ballto was saying was that the Blish was OP BECAUSE of it’s similarities with the K-121, which is ridiculous.

Blishy never works well for other classes, besides Aura and Fletcher.

At this point Blishlok is just a sniper rifle with autofire. Being able to kill most mercs in 6 hits with any automatic weapon is pretty backbreaking. It’s far too easy to use and dominate with outside of the extremely minimal scope of competitive play, and it’s a bit sad they keep buffing already strong weapons simply because competitive players don’t use them much.

Basically, Blishlok at medium and long ranges for free KKKilllssSS

If anything, it’s hard to use because of the slow fire rate, which makes it much harder to track enemies heads and punishes missing. It honestly feels like enemies can pass between each bullet.

If you can do well with the Blish, then you can do far better with a KEK or a Crotzini.

I did a post about this actually, let me dig it up. Air ya go’

The slow fire rate is easily countered by click firing, instead of holding it down. This is the same principle for all automatic weapons, really. Firing in clicks controls when the firing cycle starts, so you can reset your tracking. You only need to pling a couple shots to get a kill, and since your first click and second shot are very likely to hit, you can plink 2 shots and re-click.

Kek and Crotzni are close - mid range guns, Blish is a long range gun. At long range, Kek And Crotzni pale in comparison, and at close range, you shouldn’t miss anyway. Considering that 2 bullets are 33% or slightly less of most class’ HP, it doesn’t take many shots to finish someone.

Personally I find some guns just suit certain mercs and playstyles more so. I can’t stand Fletcher with the bishlok. The gun is too slow to match his slow movement. For some reason when I use Aura though, I annihilate people with the bishlok. Part of it is mentality, but I do think certain mercs just suit certain guns better, and most of it is just finding a rhythm with the gun and using it in the right circumstances.

Kinda like the Grandeur. It’s a great gun really, but I can’t just log in and slaughter people with it. It takes time to adjust to that gun for me.
