I uh, i don't know how to tell you this but
the paint roller seems powerful at first, but in actuality it really sucks. That's bound to change once the retail game goes live (because y'know, more weapons like the paintbrush, etc.) It's partly because of the mindset of the roller players right now causes them to horribly overextend.

Most of the time you can easily kite a roller player (bait them into following you, thinking they have an easy kill because you're carrying Baby Gun) who thinks they can overpower you by running backward as they try to roll you. Of course, you could be xXswaglordXx and swim around them, jump out and shoot them, but just walking backwards should do.
As soon as you see one in your sights, just go nuts with the Splattershot/Jr in their face. Most of the time I ran into roller players I'd just step back a little and go full-blast on 'em with the Splattershot. 
I was actually able to shut down rollers point-blank today. In fact, I just destroyed people and had like six kills before the end of each match. I was kinda proud because I'm horrible at shooters.

Personally, I feel that roller is more of a glass-cannon role: let the Splattershot players take the lead and apply pressure, and just cover the territory behind them, secure those areas for your team and provide assistance with the Killer Wail as needed. Block off chokepoints using Killer Wail as Splatter players do their thing.

The Splat Charger though seems really impractical in the demo, but given the other teased modes of play like the King of the Hill one (it's got a moving platform that goes along a track, like in TF2) it seems much, much more practical there for sniping the players riding the structure in that mode.
