So Turf Wars are basically dead in PAL land at some times in the day.
Like right now, 5 minutes and 3 lobbies dead.

Unlike Splatoon 1, turf wars are region-locked too.
We must be ~5 right now trying to play. There's Porkos, Alex, dadoo, Kelly and me.

Edit : we finally started.

 

[Branduil]

Next match Branduil's team wins within 30 seconds and he declares it the best mode.

I actually did almost solo carry the rainmaker to the goal in 30 seconds in a later game. Someone killed me before I could ink the pedestal. Fortunately my team didn't mess up and we won a couple minutes later.

It still sucks though, I pretty much have to carry the team every time if I want to win.

 

[Jackano]

It's not worse than the tower defense/stand thing (don't know the english name).

Sometimes I don't understand how this thing can move slow as ass when my team get on it after 3 minutes of hard work and painfully manage to move 20 meters and hope for keeping this advantage.

And then in the last 15 seconds, the other team grab it, and the stand move lightning fast and do all its way to our base. Bam, 0 XP point.

Not to mention the random "+XX secs" in the other defense mode the one with the fixed zone.


More seriously all this needs a mandatory tutorial like Salmon Run.
And secondly, the ranking system needs tweaks, escaping the C/C+/B- hell is frustrating.

I hope the region thing is removed Splatoon 1 worked fine without it.

So they replaced the Bubbler with something that seems way worse. Ink Armor is ludicrous. Had a guy who activated it constantly and I couldn't get close to anybody because we kept dying and the entire map was painted. At least a Bubbler I could knock out off the way.

 

[pringles]

Finally made it to S-rank in every mode, and S+ in Rainmaker. Things are INTENSE at this level.

 

[Greenymac]

So is the new Salmon Run map available yet?

 

[-shadow-]

In ten minutes.

 

[Jintor]

Oh shit I'm gonna come home half drunk and play splatoon

I'm in Australia and I haven't had any issues with turf war. I've also been matched with Japanese players quite a bit.

 

[13ruce]

Is the new Salmon Run map in todays online shedule?

Currently at school and the splatnet app does not show wich map is running now....

[Branduil]

Why the fuck is the current Salmon Run NOT the new map? Nintendo makes such fucking baffling decisions sometimes.

 

[Tacorona72]

Iirc, didn't they say the new SR map is only for local multiplayer right now and it'll be in online later?

 

[Branduil]

OMG what is this roller in the current SR rotation? This is the worst weapon that has ever been invented. I feel like I'm playing at half speed.

Not playing right now, but sounds like the Dynamo Roller.

Did it always suck this badly?

 

[PadWarrior]

3 weapons with 100 wins.

 

[backlot]

Did it always suck this badly?

It was always slow. They cut back its ink coverage per flick and its killing power in Splatoon 2 but I doubt that's very obvious in Salmon Run.

 

[pringles]

Awesome loadout in SR, of course I get stuck with the worst teams ever. I can understand struggling with the roller, but the rest are awesome weapons.

 

[CPCunha]

Maaaan... why is this "solo salmon run" BS still in the game... they drop me in there alone with the sniper gun, fuck this.

 

[Tacorona72]

Did it always suck this badly?

For SR and in most Turf war cases, yeah it's not great. Pretty good for ranked in my experience.

 

[Branduil]

Does anybody else hate getting the grenade special in Salmon Run? Me using it seems to correspond 100% to me dying.

This is not an obvious thing, but the more people there are on the tower, the faster it will move, so that might explain your issue there.

The extra time added to your counter on Splat Zones is not random, you get it as a punishment for letting the other team take control the zone, it is relative to the enemy team's counter. If it wasn't there, people could take back the zone with the enemy being a few points away from victory, only to lose it again and have no hope at all of stopping an inmediate loss there.

 

[McArkus]

Yeah, the only situation I feel is useful is on high tide with all the mob clustered together, just cross your fingers that there is no steel eel protecting the salmonoids from the explosion.

 

[Cynosure]

i switched my connection from my high speed home internet to my shitty phone hotspot. i immediately noticed that people werent aiming for me nearly as accurately. i was getting easy kills but it was such a shitty feeling.
after my 5th game, i deleted my save data. never buying another switch game for online.

yeh, more often than not I go down. Feels useless. I usually just save it for a spawn rush or a time where there's a load of trash blocking the way and we're starting to lose control of the situation.

 

[Vic]

The Dynamo Roller is slow AFFFF.

 

[D.Lo]

Bye.

lol

The Dynamo Roller is slow AFFFF.

Worst SR weapon for sure.

 

[tonyh24613]

It's the worst special in SR, just make sure that you drop a bomb under your feet first after you activate it.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Yea Dynamo as-is now is the struggle.

 

[Vic]

lol

Worst SR weapon for sure.

And the ink consumption is terrible. Gimme the Charger instead!

 

[PadWarrior]

Only way to get better weapons for salmon run is if we all stop playing it. Only way to make Nintendo wake up.

 

[Irminsul]

How can Splatzones be a hard concept to grasp? When your counter is down to fucking 1 you don't go around inking the map leaving me to defend it, for fucks sake. Obviously we lost that game.

 

[D.Lo]

Lol it's not that bad. It's a challenge.

The issue is mostly that you need teamwork because some weapons can't get you out of certain situations. Guns are obviously the most flexible.

 

[Toadsili T]

Worst SR weapon for sure.

But what other weapon can do this against the Goldie in Goldie search, making it the most trivially easy wave in the game?

Or only play weekend salmon run, last two weekends the weapons were so good.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

Ha! I've actually never had a goldie round with it.

 

[Vic]

I was going to mention this. The weapon is slow but powerful. Makes it convenient when dealing with a Goldie.

 

[CoconutTank]

...

why does that work?

can the other rollers do this?

 

[Vic]

...

I wouldn't be surprised if the Dynamo is the most powerful Roller in the game. I don't really know since I never use them.

 

[Toadsili T]

But what other roller can take out grillers single-handedly, no help required?

Come on guys... hardly the worst weapon. That's still probably Goo Tuber.

OK, second worst

 

[dgco86]

I feel so useless in SR whenever I get the Dynamo Roller. I always hope I get it in the first round...

Also the current Salmon Run schedule really sucks for people in Asia... It's 2am here and I've got work soon. Will try and get the second superbonus during my lunch break later.

 

[13ruce]

Just made the appointment for the marina tattoo (februari) and surprisingly that one is earlier then my Squid sisters (april) one but for those 2 he needs a whole work day and for the marina way less or half the hours.

Squid sisters on my back on top and marina on my left calf.

Do tattooing really takes that long? anyway, don't forget to post pictures when they are done.

 

[Junahu]

Worst SR weapon for sure.

Concentrate on rolling over the lesser Salmonids. The Dynamo Roller can roll over even those fat Cohocks to kill them instantly. It's a great weapon for clearing a space so that your team can concentrate on the bosses.
In a bizarre twist, the Boss Salmonid that this weapon is best at defeating, is Steelheads. A vertical flick can one-shot them, and reaches their head even if you're below where they're standing

 

[Jackano]

Lost a rank in Salmon Run
The weapon selection isn't for me.
