Word, I feel my right hand dying if I keep playing Brush for too long.
The entire power went out on my street for a second and everything turned off except the Wii U, not sure why but I was about to start a match too. When everything turned back on the Wii U was still connected and I didn't get disconnected from the match? It's like it gives you a couple of seconds to reconnect.
I honestly don't even remember the last time a team did not contest the opposing team's hold on the zone(s) on any map on Ranked today, including Urchin Underpass.
It's always back and forth the higher you go in terms of your rank.
Seriously, chargers need to at least learn to lead the target. It won't stop good Jet Squelchers because if they miss once, the wall will be up before they can fire again, but I've had a few matches where I was taking out chargers without the wall just by jumping out of their aim repeatedly

What determines the amount you go up in a ranked win or loss? Sometimes, I get 12, 14, 15, or 10 for a win, and I get -7, -10, or a -1 for a loss. I'm at C+ right now (ranked is so much better out of the C- ghetto), and I can't reason why I get variable points.
Is there a wiki/faq for this game yet?

Pretty much.
I think you are right about the level design. But I don't think the level works well with lower skilled players. From my experience, any level that has capture points condensed and not spread out, lower skilled players fall apart when a team aggrresively takes it and holds it down.
That's why I personally hate Skatepark and Mall at my current Rank.
Port Mackerel is also a very condensed map. But because the two capture points are spread out, it requires teams to split up, and makes it easier to capture a single point and stop a team from winning. Skatepark and Mall are all about an enclosed small territory of land. So once a team aggressively takes it, lower level players have trouble re-approaching it from the outside (trying to get in).
i think it's average rank of the enemy team
This is very true for me. Since C+ and up, the matches are almost always very tight. It's constant back and forth and I find knockouts are uncommon, unlike lower ranks where every match was a knockout. The only map that seems to consistently end in knockout is Saltspray Rig.
I aim directly. I've never thought to lead and it hasn't been a problem.

Thank Iwata and his demand for low power usage. It actually makes it stay on for longer when the power suddenly goes out.
honestly, i never pay attention to that unless we're like super in control and someone wants to push on ahead or something (although i wouldn't need the signal in that case since it would be the obvious play)
otherwise, i'm probably following a plan of my own that the team will benefit from if it succeeds and the person looking for assistance probably doesn't know what i'm doing so yeah
not to mention that bunching up can go real bad

Once again the ranked seesaw left me in the same place I began two hours earlier.
I mean, how often do you guys get into matches that are honestly evenly matched, where it comes right down to the last minute?
Blackbelly Skatepark can be intense as hell in an even match, as it becomes a cat and mouse game with the back and forth. Maybe it's just bad luck, but I can honestly say a lot of the matches im in, one team dominates and the other team gets rolled (luckily I'm usually on the team that dominates).
Way too often my matches have a team that decimates, rather than a game that goes back and forth, or has a come back. I just feel like too many matches are kind of lopsided.
But again, it could just be my C+ rank. It seems like the B to B+ and A ranks are a whole different game.

At least you got money. =P
On those maps, I would suggest trying to kill your enemies and push a little into their base until your team can cap the point(s). It's hard to kill them if they have control on the high grounds but there's always another way up those areas. And by push into their base, I don't mean run into their base. I would avoid trying to spawn camp them though because they don't lose much when you kill them because they spawn really close to where you killed them as where if they kill you, they can easily push towards the control point.
Depending on what weapon you use, this could be easy to do or extremely hard to pull off.

I think it makes matches more even and gives a better chance of coming back or stopping a team. I def prefer two capture points to one.

I prefer it on Skatepark but I dislike it on Port Mackerel. Port Mackerels are too close to their respective bases and too far from the opposing team's bases. It makes it feel like the matches will never end. If future maps have multiple splat zones, I'd prefer they were closer together.

I hope they introduce more brush types with different subs/specials soon. I'd like to see some more play styles.
Honestly, I did notice this a lot when I finally moved up to B before the de-rank marathon I went on, but even then Urchin Underpass just feels so claustrophobic.
I really want a pure shotgun type weapon. Quick, close range, one shot kills, but bad lag after each shot and a long recharge time. There's weapons that kinda come close to this but none of them really have the feel of it.
It's great because both teams need to balance their offense and defense, as opposed to 1 splat zone maps where once one team takes the point, all they have to do is defend and the other is forced to be on offense.
On one hand, I'd greatly appreciate a paintbrush that lets me go all Trunks or Raiden on people with a one and done clean swing. On the other, I legitimately don't think you can top the combination of Sprinkler and Inkstrike in terms of having presence over the entire battlefield and match objectives.
Though as I say this, I'm mildly curious to see how something like "Power" Inkbrush/Disruptor/Bubbler would play out.

How does an Aerospray user get 150p? HOW??? I feel you have to purposely try to get a score that low. Christ.

Playing Charger makes me raise my voice sometimes. =/
All the time for me lul
I don't think your loadout is better than mine, but one on one vs another charger it seems good
That feel when you hit Level 10 and you can now play with a lot of your friends in ranked battles.
I am and playing with at least one other Gaffer.

That feel when you find out you can't play with friends in ranked battles. It's what you have now.
You cannot actually

Whoa... I just finished a match that was completely full, but then right when the match began, everyone poofed except for one of the guys on the other team. It was a 1v1 turf war. I demolished him with my paint brush. I feel very sorry for him.
Can cover ground real well when you take advantage of it's speed. Scoring in the 1300s in Turf Wars (with the bonus included).
