I think it's fantastic. Quite a different approach to all other Slat Zones maps, since the team is so divided.

So the Dynamo roller went from useless to op?

Ended up buying the game. Thought SP was pretty meh, but the MP is fantastic - when it works.

Was in a Ranked Battle where everyone but me had an Inkstrike. I barely could get into the zone since everyone would inkstrike all the time so I had to go and try to kill the others before they'd build special.

There should be a variation of dynamo roller with both sprinkler and inkstrike for maximum levels of annoyance.

I'm not far, so it might get better, but I didn't found it that interesting.
How far?
I agree it's pretty meh so far. I'm in the third world myself. They should have left it out and focus their efforts on providing a complete multiplayer experience instead.

Nah, I am glad the single player exists. Splatoon wouldn't be as good as it is without it.

Going to the second big boss IIRC.
On one hand I wonder how would that end, but on the other I remember Titanfall and shudder.
Sounds like normal multiplayer game talk. Is funny.

Completely disagree. The single player is a great addition. I'll be sad if Splatoon 2 doesn't expand on it.
It's a snorefest. I have been hit maybe once throughout the whole campaign. I'm killing the same enemies over and over again. Does not live up to what I have come to expect from EAD.
And don't you think you are coming across as a bit arrogant basically saying that there can't be any possible balance problems and that anyone complaining is just shit and needs to "git gud"?
fuck off. We are allowed to express any annoyance we have, whether they be warranted or not and don't need your "better than you" input

C+ rank finally, had horrible teams at the start what made me loose 50 points on C before I could go up.
After that I start winning nearly everything, love when team mates are really team mates and flank different positions instead of trying to attack all front center.
Also people, look at the freaking map, even when you are not dead. We had a roller putting antennas that made his team perfect as they attacked from behind, and I was the only one trying to stop that instead of going off to paint some other place.
Next match with a better team that understoon what he was doing and they dind have a chance, people actually defended me when I was trying to take out the antennas instead of minding their own bussiness after capturing the zone.
And I unlocked a golden dyanmo roller, never seen anyone with it, and it has amazing subweapons, so i dont undertand. There some good players with the normal dynamo during ranked.
I already saw another hilarious comic with the army inkling, is there any more of it?

None of them are particularly mind-blowing, but as Ranked is now live, here are the Splat Zone locations from each map that is included in the Prima Guide.
This is the more fun ranked map becuase it actually has 2 zones. We need more maps like this.
Alternatively, if anyone wants anything specific posted from the Prima Guide, just let me know and I'll post it on here.

It is what it is. No need to be angry about it you know.
It's supposed to be played before being a true roxxor online. It is kinda obvious. It's teaching you how to play.
Yeah I guess. It is a good tutorial. Fighting Octolings (?) is the most obvious give away of that. Then again as a tutorial it's lacking because of only one weapon type included.

The Dynamo Roller melee swing/windup is SOOOO SLOW. It's ridiculous.

The girl amiibo has challenges that are pretty good tutorial of how to use charger and how not to. Still not using them on multi, but I became better handling them after those.
But of course, amiibo only.
you say "was"....did you beat all of the single player?
edit: ok you have not beat the single player. just keep playing ;p
What I'm getting from ranked battles:
I still suck playing shooters still.
What else I'm getting from ranked battles:
Everyone else on my team normally sucks.
You can't go below C-, I'll have the most kills and least amount of deaths on my team and would carry them half the time. It's painful always losing because your team either doesn't know what their doing or they keep spawn jumping right where they are going to die and then try it 3 more times right afterwards thinking they won't die again.

It's the weapon you'll be starting with online, so that's for the better I guess.
It's also really good at progressively teaching you movement and dodging. Last boss is mostly based on that.
Why go in the zone, shoot from the outside.

That's actually my only real problem with the campaign.
It's pretty rare that you should be sitting in a zone, I think.
He does have a point, everyday is a new OP weapon then we realise that it isn't op.
It shows all weapons are viable.
Not necessarily -- I'm sure that, like in every multiplayer game, a meta for each mode will be revealed.
Nintendo does encourage choosing whatever weapon you want because of random matchmaking, though.
Sure, but his attitude is unnecessary. Just saying "you need to git gud" "you are playing crap" doesn't help anyone, it just sounds like mocking.
Dr. Buni

Yeah, but he is definitely arrogant as Razmos said
Anyways, I haven't met any weapon that I thought was OP yet, although I do hate the freaking inkstrike on ranked.
The E-liter 3K is very confusing for me. It can one shot at times when half-charged, and not at other times.
EDIT: Not talking about kills here. Kill wise, I think every weapon is fair.
lol at blaming lack of skill for the Aerosprays. Did you see how easily you can get 1000+ points on Turf War? Even losing you can easily do that.

Are people who hate rollers a lot using aerosprays?
People understand that aerosprays weakness is anything attacking them upfront no? The only way to win those battles is if you are just touching, thats why aerospray vs aerospray usually ends on both being dead.
Dynamo rollers also have a hard time against long ranged guns.
After seeing good players play with multiple types of weapons, you can clearly see all weapons have a weakness.
Same with tower chargers. Just fucking sneak from behind and plant mines on towers. People playing well on the stage with the crane on ranked are the ones that do not attack front center or always through their towers, they are the ones that go to the enemy side and attack from behind the enemy's towers, take away the sniper, leave a mine (if you are using golden aerospray) and go in the zone.

And then it will be boring.
As it stands now "OP weapons" can be countered with some other op weapons.
Also people need to learn to adapt and change their tactics. I've seen way too many times people, even gaffers, being killed the same way over and over and over apparently hoping this time they'd be lucky.
No. approach from somewhere else, approach it differently.

Gotta give this team props. This is the best lore a Nintendo series has had since Pikmin! It's really clicking for me as I collect more scrolls, especially the one that let me realize that the levels aren't just abstract places, but rather underground domes with simulated sunlight.
Nintendo sure knows how to make a post-apocalyptic animal game.

Yep.
I know my team is going to loose when mid match they are always attacking though the same side and being killed.
Thats why splatoon was clearly made to have multiple ways to get somewhere.
If a charger in a tower is really good, you are not going to pass though the center, as much as you try.
I do abuse of the dynamo roller in ranked matches, you claim/stop a zone in two splats and cut the roads so easily for your opponents, I'm nothing more than a human sprinkler/turret in this mode. It's a terrible way to play but it works and am close to B+ rank, but yeah, the things this weapon do are quite insane.
Well according to you the most effective way to stop them is using a charger, what happens if nobody in my team has one??
I'm so unlucky with weapon loadouts, thing is I play long range assault rifle so I'm dependent on others to bring rollers/snipers.
