these kids are ruthless I also agree completely with his decision

Oh wow!!
 
Does anyone else have a really hard time keeping a team of 4 in ranked battles. I swear someone has dropped out of at least half of my matches tonight.
 
Uploaded one of my matches playing in Xeteh's room. Got about 6 more videos I want to upload eventually, but my upload speed is absolutely dire, so they'll have to wait.

Recording quality is still pretty bad. I should get a real capture device.

lol both my deaths were from you. and that first killer wail one was awful. I got stuck against some geo or something. XD.

Anyway I'm done with that weapon. Tough to try out a new thing with all these talented gaffers playing!
 
Come on, at A people know how to play - if you lost, there's some of your fault there.
Now if there's someone actually going against the team or if it's through disconnects, I get you. Other than that, it's really not the game's fault - this is what random is gonna get you.

If you always want to have a set team - that's the lobbies in august.
Totally agree, that's why is so annoying. Just by chance you can get a bad team who doesn't understands the functions that the rest is taking, who doesn't get how to use bombs or the weapons, who doesn't know about the essential spots in the scenarios depending on your weapons, maybe someone reached the level through low levels (if you don't disconnect while you are leveling in rank, the system keeps you with the low party and doesn't update it) or simply because they have a metapyshyc lag.
Overall I recognize this things because I've been to many times in the other side of the coin, where the party is so powerful that you destroy the other team.
And yes, we have to wait until August. But the current system still can improve the match of variables that let you in a team or other.
 
I tried playing but I kept getting Unstable Connections and You are not connected to the Internet messages even though my connection is good and stable. So damn frustrating.
 
Game could drive someone nuts. Can easily go from this:

to the exact opposite of that in the same session down at these beginning ranks. This is the last time I'll bitch and moan about this but just need to get it out of my system: THERE'S ONLY 1-2 ZONES, HIGHLIGHTED IN BIG-ASS SHIT. CAN'T MISS 'EM. Yet fuck.

Fun though. Team Dogs!

"DaBass"

That is either a mistake or a really clever fish pun of my username lol.
---------
And it looks like that was a match where I was actually trying to cover turf and not do something silly lol.

Trying to cover 10,000p turf with every weapon which is why I used the normal .52 Gal, but I was finding the Splash Wall worked surprisingly well. I think I only have 4 more to go.

And man I was respecting your charger so much lol. Splash Wall definitely came in handy.
 
I just lost 8 match in a row. Incredible how shitty the matchmaking system of this game is. I dropped from A to A-.
Please do something Nintendo to make this less anoniying and frustrating...

"Nintendo pls patch game to make sure I'm on the winning team more often"

Unless you're constantly being matched with B- or lower this isn't Nintendo's fault.
 
I finally reached Level 20 and bought the Gold Dynamo Roller...

Which I immediately hated and went back to my Krak-On Roller. Seriously, the GDR is so slow and even with 3 special gauge increasers I still couldn't get it 2/3 full in one tank. Just...wow. I have to wonder why the Krak-On Roller is available at such a low level while others, which are worse IMO, are only available to those who played to Max Level.

Man, I'm not crying for just crying at all. It is well known that you can control matchmaking filtering variables of players (I.e, deaths, points, kills, games lost and won, etc.). You can control this variables as input in order to calibrate the matches. Ask for a patch to leave me in the winning team it's just absurd as ask for a patch that leaves me in the loosing side.
Sorry I didn't express myself right in the first place, I was upset.

And yes, I was with a lot of B- in most of the matches.
 
I always miss out on getting caught on camera. :(
Oh god, I have at least one video to upload which is nothing but you attacking me from behind, repeatedly. It legitimately gives me a shock everytime I hear the fshfshfsh of a brush melee.

haaa, oops. I like the pun, but I should still correct it.

Once I have momentum in my favour, I can get pretty manic with the charger. But when I fail, it becomes a bit of a train wreck. I'm hella inconsistant.

The gold dynamo roller plays differently than the krak-on roller. It emphasizes on predicting where you enemies will be so you can preemptively charge your swing, or by sneaking up on them. I personally don't use it to roll as much as flinging my ink. What I do is fling my ink as far as I can and roll towards the closest patch then swim until I get to the furthest patch and repeat. This roller isn't made to cover a lot of grounds, rather it is used to control area and make your enemies think twice when approaching enemy ink.

Generally those that have reached max level will have the insight to properly weigh the strengths and weaknesses of the weapon in question in order to use it effectively.

It seems you need to try again.

Very true and right use...the range is impressive. Never used it, but I swallowed huge amount of ink liters because of this weapon
