Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

it's at its absolute worst when the other team not only takes the zone, but they completely block all pathways in without fail and completely wall off the zone. Just gotta put the controller down at that point, and its fucking absurd how easily that can happen.

Saltspray Rig is the WOOOORST for this. I played against a group of JPN players who ran away with it free.
 
When you rank up, LEAVE YOUR CURRENT LOBBY. The highest ranked is paired with all the lowest ranked. Me (B-) and three C-'s against four C+'s. It was uglyyyyy

I felt Urchin Underpass has it far worse. With Saltspray there's multiple ways to get into the zone and even ways to sneak up on chargers. With the Underpass there is only two paths to get to the zone and if the other team does not want you coming in then you simply won't get within 20 feet of the zone.

You lose less points if your team is ranked lower. I just lost -8 at B- when I was with a C and C- against B-'s. But yes, leaving is the best option, but might not fix the issue.

There's three. This is a big problem with turf wars and splatzones. People don't know or use all the openings to get to places.
 
Just got back from the neighbor's place.

Turf War is way, way more fun than Splat Zone. Splat Zone feels more like a standard third person shooter whereas Turf War is more unique. TW has a lot of movement and flexibility.

Dunno, new mode is kinda boring. Wish TW was ranked, that would add some stakes and still be a lot of fun.

I think that's enough Splatoon for tonight. Splat Zones are amazing. Killing the whole enemy team with the Inkzooka is the most satisfying thing I've done by far!
 
I managed to play a bit more tonight. Splat Zones is interesting. I was shut down swiftly, when in regular battles I normally carry the team. Hmm.

I'm not sure I understand the reason for the ranking system. Since your teammates are random, and the success of your team hinges on the team, I'm not sure the ranking indicates much. It doesn't seem to take individual performance into account.

I also played the new map in regular battles. GREAT MAP! Love it. :-)

Well that's not as bad at least, but yeah that's pretty much guaranteed -8 points.
 
ok fuck ranked and fuck my teammates

they did nothing but huddle into a corner on the higher ground and didnt bother trying for the splat zone. this mode is frustrating if you dont have the correct teammates
 
Well, Turf wars can really get on my nerves, I think I might skip Ranked.

That shit looks like it will be dangerous to my health.

On the other hand, what does ranking up award you with?

As far as I can tell, more money payout. It gets pretty high as long as your team mates are decent.
 
The average match is pretty exciting, especially when everyone doesn't immediately run for the other team's spawn point. Matches seem really shot, which is a plus. Splatting someone is a nice surprise, in between covering the walls in your goo.
 
So you guys who have access to ranked battles, what's it like? Impressions in here seem to be pretty intense

Seems like a huge waste of time if you aren't level capped and your team isn't winning. I mean, assuming you want to unlock stuff still. 5 losses in a row, and about 300 points total to show for it.

Getting absolutely nothing for a knockout loss is really a kick in the beak, especially after what was probably a frustrating match to begin with.
 
FINALLY hit rank C. Okay, that's enough frustration for tonight. Or it would be, but I wanna see what the other maps are like in ranked.

Just more exp. And of course you'll be matched with more higher rank people.

Ranked is brutal though, after the first hour everyone became quite competent and the actual mode-Splat Zones-turns into total domination more than half of the time. Once a team takes the point and kills off the remaining stragglers, pushing back in is very difficult, especially on Urchin Underpass.

Dide, if you go all in your going to get killed. You need to stay back and attack from a distance most of the time.

Thanks for the answer mate.

Just woke up knowing that ranked were added over the night.

I might check it out later this night, what have you got to do in this mode, try to defend a "splat zone" as much as possible?
 
That moment when you bitch about randoms and the very next match they carry your sorry squid ass into victory.

Forgive me chequio for once cursing your name.
