Which do you do on the speedball field?

I play on semi since I know if I were to play at 12.5 I use all my paint in like 2 hours or less. If I do ramp, I would set it at 10.5 just to not waste as much paint.

Makes sense. I'm trying to up my walking speed so only semi for me, until I start playing 5 man possibly in the future.

Semi but I cap myself at 12.5 kinda pointless since I can hold it at that 12.5 pretty easily. If I play rec they don't allow ramp 95% of the time

you basically tell the board in the marker that no matter how fast it's receiving the signal to shoot (trigger pull), to never shoot faster than a certain rate of fire.

Semi can be capped, just like every other mode on the marker.

12.5 PSP (semi if I'm playing with new players), you won't waste paint if you have any sort of trigger control and why practice with something other than what you would be competing with? I understand with rentals/new players the obvious need to not lane them into oblivion but if you're playing with regular, experienced players it doesn't really matter what you're shooting. I tend to find uncapped semi far more annoying than ramping because they usually have trigger bounce and you're torn up by 15+ BPS the second they see you. 12.5 PSP slows down the fire rates considerably in my experience and simply makes it easier to hold a lane and/or shoot one-handed (while podding up).

Ramping is just a computer filling in for lazy players. I stick to semi as I always have.

Look into history of the sport. Ramping was introduced as a CHEATER mode for players at pro levels. It allowed those players to be "lazy" and have less to do on field. I started playing this sport before ramping and I will continue to hold my views. Yes I think early on pro players that used the Cheater modes were lazy. Today's pros are just following the rules of the game. No more no less.

Yes. Most people don't know it was for cheaters. I said was because it isn't anymore. It isn't for lazy people, because walking the trigger doesn't take that much effort, and if you are playing paintball, you aren't lazy. People use ramping to practice or play in tournaments. And if they are ramping in recball, does it really matter? If your field allows it then they aren't doing anything wrong.
