I just had a string of DC's and teammate DC's that help shove me back from high A to low A-. The bubbler dream is dead, I can't come back from this.

Edit: to clarify, 6 DCs mixed in with a strong batch of me sucking (mostly from frustration).

You know in the Splatfest, only the winning teams got the Super Sea Snails, right?

I was on the superior team, which lost because the majority of Splatoon players have bad taste and joined the inferior team, and still got 10 snails for making Champion.

 

[Dr Prob]

Dat's 'cuz you don't.

j/k Azure. I like your vim!

I guess I never got any then, because I participated on Team Pop (who lost) and I think I got up to the Super Girl ranking. I guess I'll have to wait for another Splatfest because no way am I giving Spyke 30k

 

[Blak_Status]

That one was on me. Sorry

 

[SM239]

Swapping gear brb. Almost out of 4 slot everything these shoes are the last thing before I need to start dropping cash. =\

 

[Zero²]

[Conor_Fool]

My god people are so fucking bad at Tower Control... The rage is real

 

[Heng]

Sorry heng had a slow start there

It's cool, I'm still practicing my aim.

 

[SM239]

I knew I should have not left that charger to guard the choke point. Oh well.

 

[Zero²]

It's cool, I'm still practicing my aim.

You are good with the charger, you are using the normal one?

I'm not going to go into the numbers, but I don't disagree that it's unbalanced. People are acting like the less popular team has zero chance though, which is bullshit. I'm expecting like...20-30% of Splatfests to result in the less popular team winning. Something low but not ridiculously low. Wins still matter, and popularity still should matter, though maybe not quite to the extent it currently does.

As for the "it's a game" comment, you missed the point. I'm saying it's just a game because you're supposed to have fun. Splatfest is more fun when you pick the side you actually prefer instead of worrying about the extremely minor advantage you gain from winning.

I'm glad you agree that its not balanced. I just crunched the numbers in that post though... if the votes continue to be so one-sided there IS nearly zero chance to win on the smaller side. For me, that wouldn't be fun. Whether I'm on the popular side or unpopular side I would want a fair fight. Its fine if you play to "just have fun" and support your favorite side. I just wanted to point out that the deck is stacked, there are definitely some people who won't acknowledge it.

I am under the impression that the more popular team winning overall is what Nintendo intends. Awarding points for winning matches is to add some variance and tension to the results.

That could be the case given the current ruleset. I like to think they didn't expect the votes to be so lopsided. With a 50/50 vote it would be decided by wins.

If the devs want popularity to matter I think it would be fine if they separated the categories. There could be two winners of Splatfest. A winner of popularity and a winner of matches. Each category gives a separate snail bonus. And you also get your title reward too.

Thanks, no I'm using the scope. It's much more fun than the non-scoped version.

 

[DaBoss]

Squidicide is never the answer SM239.

 

[Zero²]

Damn we carried them hard on that one lol

 

[SM239]

Squidicide is never the answer SM239.

It is if it denies anyone a kraken kill. =P

 

[Crisium]

Squidicide is never the answer SM239.

Hehe, I saw that too.

 

[Heng]

Damn we carried them hard on that one lol

Lol yeah.

Damnit splat stop throwing shit at me.

 

[atr0cious]

Don't know how we pulled that off zero, but great work.

 

[Crisium]

Ahh, I already had their side by myself. Why did my team come over here...

 

[DaBoss]

Ahh, I already had their side by myself. Why did my team come over here...

Cause I had my Kraken ready for the fools who try to repaint their own base.

 

[Interceptor]

Sooo, i just logged in for the first time since splatfest. Rock won, so where are my snails/money?
Spike doesnt have anything.

 

[Zero²]

Lol yeah.

Damnit splat stop throwing shit at me.

Ugh so many rollers, my close range self is in pain

 

[BlueSilver]

Gonna try the scope again.

 

[Heng]

Ugh so many rollers, my close range self is in pain

Have you tried the carbon roller?

 

[RedFyn]

You guys saying the new map looks like it favors chargers and rollers mean the dynamo right?

 

[atr0cious]

Ugh so many rollers, my close range self is in pain

They out range almost everything.

 

[BlueSilver]

Meh.

 

[Zero²]

Have you tried the carbon roller?

Yeah, its fun but not inkbrush fun.

 

[Heng]

Meh.

There's a bit of a learning curve with scope chargers. I think you'll be great at it if you keep practicing.

 

[CoasterFreak225]

About to join. Who should I join?

 

[Crisium]

Wow, Guy Sloth and his Dynamo. That weapon.

 

[BlueSilver]

I distracted the other team at the bottom lol

 

[Crisium]

SM makes that Luna do wonders.

 

[BlueSilver]

Lol Not even mad. Some funny stuff happened. =P

 

[Heng]

Well then...

 

[Zero²]

Kept superjumping to the wrong place, and what da fuck was that blue! Dem charger team you guys

 

[BlueSilver]

Lots of fails from me.

 

[CoasterFreak225]

Is it me or is the timer longer than before?

 

[Interceptor]

Sooo, i just logged in for the first time since splatfest. Rock won, so where are my snails/money?
Spike doesnt have anything.

Anyone?

 

[BlueSilver]

Nobuchin is lagging all weird.

 

[Heng]

Anyone?

You should have gotten it when you saw the news. You might have missed out on it since you waited too long.

 

[Zero²]

Anyone?

You just get, don't need to talk to anyone.

 

[SM239]

That was a really good game of tug-o-war with the north part of the map

 

[BlueSilver]

I guess I whiffed that one shot?

 

[Heng]

I guess I whiffed that one shot?

Against me? When? That sucked btw.

 

[Crisium]

Is that Kevin with the fancy name? Whose the other guy?

 

[Interceptor]

You should have gotten it when you saw the news. You might have missed out on it since you waited too long.

Guess that´s it. Awesome Nintendo. Awesome.


So if you just get your news online and don´t log in immidiately after splatfest you basically wasted your time. Why even bother with the next.

 

[BlueSilver]

Against me? When? That sucked btw.

When I was on the perch and you were by the sandbag on the north.
