I think you (and me) might perform better with scoped charger but unscoped E-Litre because:
- E-Litre's longer charge time makes the ability to store it more valuable, and the wider view you have without a scope allows you to see more of the potential targets afforded by its longer range
- Splatterscope's shorter charge time makes charging less committal, so the reduced awareness isn't as bad

maybe

I can barely play chargers as it is 😅 but I struggle so much more with scope for some reason so I'm team no scope all the way!

Now as a Charger main myself I will say that there is no better Charger when it comes to scope and no-scope. It isn’t something like comparing Splash and Sploosh where as Splash is just a significantly better main weapon. For the Chargers it all just comes down to personal preference and which playstyle you enjoy the most. I myself personally like using Scopes more for their 5% extra range and zoom in. The zoom in helps me hit my shots and I enjoy the playstyle of the weapon being a lot more safer than the Unscoped variant which allows me to stay alive longer for my team. Though I play Scope mainly, I actually used to play Unscoped especially when it came to E-Liter back in Splat 2. I felt that hitting my shots with Unscoped E-Liter was just a lot easier considering how it has a longer charge time and the zoom on the Scope was slower and it kinda threw me off. Also it was really fun to get snipes off of the rail on Moray whenever it was in rotation. So in the end there is no better Charger of the two it’s just a matter of which one fits your playstyle better and which one you feel will allow you to hit your shots better.

Also, considering that Scoped Chargers have more range and the charged shots having the hidden ability of leaving slightly wider ink trails, the Special output will be more frequent than Unscoped variants

Here’s from my experience with chargers:
No scope had that good charge hold mechanic and thrives off very careful and slower aim.
Scope has limited visibility upon charge, but because it zooms up upon full charge it makes the hitbox feel bigger and is really convenient for sniping as soon as your charge is complete.
Also scopes have the most fluid and satisfying flickshot experience. Not to mention the extra range, so Scope for me all the way!

As a Charger Main, I highly prefer un-scoped Chargers because of the mobility options and awareness. Being able to see your surroundings when charging makes it a lot easier to stay alive and get kills

And I can't use Scope at all anymore 🗿

The other problem with unscoped chargers is that trickshots and charge storing is very cool, but requires WAY more skill to do, so if you're a noob you're not gonna bother with them because you can't even hit anything properly as is. Scopes are friendlier towards the new players.

Can you make a charger movement, positioning, and aiming tips guide?

I feel like the closest "objective" opinion is that unscoped E-Liter is better than scoped E-Liter, but everything else is basically down to preference

So according to Tikotan (top jp charger)

Splatterscope > unscoped charger

unscoped liter > scoped liter

The unscoped liter gets way way more value from the charge keep then the regular splat charger considering its long downtime.

For me, I find the unscope charger my style. I just like being aggro and moving all over the place, hence why I love weapons like Splat Charger, Squiffer, Goo Tuber and Reef-Lux (which yes, isn't a charger but it can be played pretty aggro). Its the only weapons I really play a bit more aggro compared to my supportive playstyle. I still like E-Liter, I'm still a fan of defensive playstyle. I like making angles for myself and making it hard for the enemy to know where I position.

Scope: range, higher distsnce clarity

No scope: Less blind spot, more mobility with stored charge  easier to use and funny 360 no scope clips

I personally play scoped because the zooming in motion helps me time the shots a lot easier, and the first person perspective can help me hit shots that normally would be very hard to hit. It’s useful to also keep moving around the map if you have the confidence because the tunnel vision you get from the scope can be exacerbated by being a statue.

As a sniper main, i also prefer using the scoped version for splattershot, but unscoped for e-liter.
The 5% extra range for splattershot feels more important than e-liter, since e-liter is already the weapon with the highest range in the game. Splattershot on its side benefits more of this extra range than e-liter.

Picked up a charger last night, and I definitely prefer scope chargers

I don’t know if this would be broken. But I thought it would have been cool if these scoped and un-scoped weapons were merged, and players had the ability to toggle the scope on and off during a match. Same limitations would still apply for each mode. IMO, it would add some depth to the weapons.

I cant use chargers to save my life but I seem to hit more shots with Scope, and by more shots I mean any shots at all

I prefer using scoped chargers personally

We need goo tuber scoped. Give it both scope and charge hold.

As a charger main who's predominately played squiffer, for me it's unscoped all the way. Scope screws with my aim too much, probably because I've spent so much time on squiffer so I'm already very used to aiming without a scope while I'm not at all used to aiming with a scope. The lack of a charge hold doesn't fit my playstyle of being a more aggressive anchor either, especially with Zekkofin, which gives you a wall that you can be far more aggressive with. While the shorter range does suck a bit against other anchors, I've already gotten very used to that from also maining tri-stringer in this game, and jet squelcher since splatoon 1.
