Mother inking sendou sniped me mid-air. I killed him and knew I had like 12 seconds on the tower before he spawned, and right when I was bailing he got me lmao

Kills while you are jumping are the easiest. It's easy to predict where you'll be unlike if you were moving on ground.
 
So some questions:

4) Anyone still having a lot of trouble with Bubbler? I've actually come across two problems now that players are a little more savvy:
a) Bubbler cannot contribute towards inking the floor at all. Nearly every other special can spread ink or do so indirectly by killing enemies. Echolocator doesn't help with inking either, but it can let you know if you can sneak away to ink somewhere else.
b) It's possible to run away from someone with a Bubbler and wait it out, and you wouldn't be much worse off. You can run away from other specials, but those specials spread ink so you'll eventually have to come back to re-ink, and you can't run away from the Echolocator.

This seems to be laboring under the impression that running from a bubbled player, allowing them to ink all over the place uncontested for a few seconds, doesn't leave the game in roughly the same state as if someone had shot an inkstrike at that location.
 
Yea, that's the next weapon I want to try. I've seen others doing well with it.

I've found that using it's full reach has great effect. Try painting by walking backwards, and on long stretches like Skatepark, Arrowana, and Warehouse, it can make up the difference in seconds. Be sure to arch your shot up a little so that the paint drops instead of firing forward, giving you a clear coat really quickly.
 
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like frequent disconnects happen when playing with friends. Never had many disconnects when playing with randoms.
 
I ran into a glitch yesterday where the camera didn't move from the startpoint. You know when the match starts and the camera is looking at the team as they rise up out of the ink? It stayed like that the whole match lol. I played it by looking at the map and we won.
 
Had some good matches with azure, kriken, phanphare, and I think a couple of others. Then I error'd out of that last match in the skatepark lmao
I saw the inkling next to me vanish in a puff of smoke then I got the message about the communication error.

Seems its becoming more frequent. Maybe it has something to do with the update later?
 
Sucks that we'll all have to split up for Ranked but obviously it makes sense. Wonder who will hit A+ first?

Not me. I wonder how much ranked I'll even play, I really am not a fan of ranked modes in competitive games... I get frustrated and get in my own head about how well (or bad) I'm doing. I quit playing SC2/Dota2 because of it.
 
Looking forward to the update. Accidently played all morning, loving the Aerospray RG. Even hit 1500-1600 with bonus a couple times. Think my highest win streak meter I saw before getting the gun was maybe 3.5, but I got up to 10 this morning even with a few comm errors.
 
I'm still not even 10 despite playing from earlier this afternoon. I was 4 when I started, now I'm halfway to 10. =/

It definitely takes a long time just for one level. The grind is real lol

And it doesn't help that I don't play much longer than half an hour or so at a time >.>
 
Gonna take a break until the update is out.

Hey, I'm level 11 finally. Jeez that takes a long time -.-

It'll seem so short later on. Partially because the later levels require significantly more points and partially because you'll average more points a match. I've only had one match today net me less than 700 points, whilst on Friday/Saturday/Sunday I would regularly do only 400 or so.
 
Having trouble entering games. First time seeing "youll join next available battle". Got some hung lobbies before too. Cmonnn i need 25000 gold to buy gear before i lose em!!!
