Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

I took all this misfortune as a sign and am getting the ice cream I have been wanting since this afternoon. I'll join up after the map switch in 9 minutes.
 
If you're tired of having crappy team mates wear the Gas Mask. It's skill gradually increases your special bar when you have less active players. At least then you kinda benefit from them constantly dying.
 
Azure J how on earth do I enter you into my friend list? I can't select space to type your name at all and you don't show up on searches with hyphens. What kind of voodoo did you use to get a name with a space in it?
 
lost like 5 ranked games in a row. At B- with 4 now. too scared to play anymore.

The nnid on the spreadsheet is wrong. He doesn't actually want to be friends with anyone

Back to C. Every single match I was stuck with 3 people who couldn't handle holding one point while I was always capping the other point in Port Mackerel, setting up beacons on the crates (no one jumped to any ONCE on the entire match) and killing people left and right stopping them from advancing to the point closest to our base.

We lost. Every time.

Just lovely.

Gonna Surf 'n Turf now and experiment to cool down. Any rooms open?
 
Is it wrong to play splatzone without killing anyone? I've been using the Jr custom just for disruptor and echolocator. I depend on my teammates to get the kills so at the totals screen my k/d is 2/3~8 winning or losing. I feel like there needs to be assist points or something to go along with just kills and deaths.

Just venting a bit as I keep feeling like a scrub in Ranked.
 
Love love love this game. I generally suck at shooters but I'm awesome at this. At least, Turf War where I've already gotten to Level 18 & just gotten a hawtness streak of 14.0+ going. Just with a custom Splattershot Jr, which is just about the default weapon. A lot of it is luck, as you DO have to have competent teammates, but there's a big detail that most of my online opponents seem to be missing.

Yes, every time you ink over enemy ink, your personal point total will rise, which is well & good. But the key to WINNING is to have more ink covered than the other team. So while people are generally running to ink that middle ground over and over, it pays to have someone a bit more detail oriented who will dot the I's and cross the T's... Meaning, make sure YOUR easy turf is 100% covered. That way if it was an otherwise even match, you'll come out ahead with that 300 point bonus because the other side didn't even bother covering their area thoroughly.
 
finally out of the B- mines. Feels so good on my squidly skin mmmmmmmm

going to play some turf wars to level some gear and relax. Some of nintengaf already have my NNID, but it's joeshabadoo.

I like aerosprays, squelchers, and am considering getting good with a charger. Rotate buffs but always like to have stealth jump which helps alot in surprise close range aerospray detruction
 
For your team to win on Arowana Mall I think it's absolutely essential to have one good sniper or your screwed.

GGs, Marle and Carlie interrupted for the map change I guess but I'll be playing a little longer.

Custom Jr is an assassin set. I'm not sure how you're not killing anyone, I was averaging 15 kills a game with it last night on the skatepark in ranked.
 
I was really, really not doing well when I first got this game a couple days ago. Now, I've made a turn around completely.

Last match I was in was all Splatter Shot Jrs versus all Rollers. (I was on the Jr. team). We won. 83% to 11%. We had them so spawned trapped it wasn't even funny. We'd keep bubbling each other and take out the rollers.

Match before that my team won. 44.4% to 44.3%. Insane.

I adore this game so much.

Problem is, you can't know what each teammate has picked weapon wise. You are going in blind. And you also can't change up your weapon. So you have to hope that, when people are entering into a map rotation, they adjust their weapon specific for those maps before going in.

Even doing that, you don't know if you will get a sniper. You might end up with an entire team full of snipers. It's all a crapshoot. As much as I like the appeal of games being 3 min, and getting into matches take like 5 seconds (so it's very rapidfire pace), I would easily take a 20 second delay between matches, if it allowed people to switch their weapons. Although I guess even then, maps are picked at random between matches lol

done with ranked battles for a long time, tired of being punished for not being able to carry my entire damn team

It's a very real thing. Like I said earlier, I killed the entire enemy team myself, and my team still wouldn't capture the points. Teammates are fuckin useless at the lower ranks. And you can't get to the better ranks without a winning streak. It's an endless cycle of bullshit. A pit you can't climb out of. Your only hope is randomly getting a great team, and hoping that you can ride that into a winning streak.

That's just it. I will go for the kills by first throwing disruptor then moving behind them or just throw it to get them to back off and then go in. I guess I need way more practice with it.
 
I bought the game today and I feel so stupid now that I know that the walls don't count.

And is there any strategy for playing with the charger? I tried it for 10 matches but I sucked.

WAIT THE FUCKING WALLS DON'T COUNT!???!!!??

AHHHH WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFEEEE

I think it should tally kills other teammates get with your echo locators and such. I also think it should tall every time your paint took control or stopped their clock.
Kills ARE important but if shouldn't be the only thing they rank you on in the post game
 
Haha, just played a ranked match where everyone from the other team disconnected and so our whole team spent 2 minutes dancing around on the zone and spamming Booyah.

Back to C+, neat.

Going for some turf now, who should I add/join?

Kills don't factor in the ranking, why does it matter? (As in, there's no bonus if you're in first in Splat Zones)
Now if they ranked individually that's a different matter, though I think capping still matters more.
