User blog:Golurk 88/Return of the...Trident?

Introduction
A few months back, nobody woudl’ve every expected that one day, the Trident, the one-time king of mid-range weapons, but now consigned to the scrap heap, would ever make a comeback. Well, it has and the improvements in firepower maker it a truly devastating mid-range weapon once more.

Note: This is a short blog.

What’s new?
Well, for starters, it now has a Reload While Firing mechanism, which gives it much more tactical flexibility and more firepower in certain situations. Secondly, its overall reload time has been reduced by 10%. While these changes may seem minor, the performance of the Trident has been drastically improved as its weaknesses (tactical inflexibility and long reload) have been solved. If anyone has Tridents gathering dust in their inventory, I would recommend trying them out.

Could it re-enter the meta?
It certainly has the capability to, and would be a useful counter to Bulgasaris and Lancelots due to its splash damage and large radius. However, it is still overshadowed by Dragoons in higher leagues, so we have yet to see (Update 4.5 is still relatively recent).

Overview
The Trident is back, and nobody saw it coming. I would definitely recommend using them in low and mid leagues, but we’ll have to see the outcome of high league use.
