It's pretty crappy. I get that they want for people who aren't good can be rewarded but being on the losing end with a higher win rate is very frustrating.
Should be there's a bonus for popularity and a bonus for win rate then a double bonus if you were on the team that had both.
Does it really matter though? It's only a difference of 6 shells.

Guess Team Sleep shoulda woke up earlier to vote. 
Ya, but #teamrollercoaster won because of wins and not because of popularity.

Others are fine but your Kraken has more range than an E-Litre.

Very, I think it's that new roller.

yeah the kraken is a bit of a problem, I'll leave in moment
One team winning properly doesn't negate other teams being robbed
I think your lag is better than it used to be. It doesn't really bother me.

Fascinating
That's the same thing. It's just worded differently.

Doesn't make it any less bullshit that a team that wins more loses because a lot less people picked it. Quite honestly what was the point for Team Sleep in even playing when we needed to win 59% of the matches just to make for up for a totally arbitrary scoring category?
I don't need or care about the snails (I'll never even use them), nor do I care we "lost". It simply annoys me because it's a bad scoring method and is going to make future Splatfests far less enjoyable to play as nobody will want to pick a team that is guaranteed to lose. We'll have even more same team lobbies and even longer wait times.

When you win 52% of the time you also lose 48% of the time...
Well I'm happy with 18 shells still (considering I got zero last time due to being absent).
Edit: Even if popularity were divided by two eating would still win

So with yet another set of 24 snails, my great master plan to make various sets for the different modes now go into effect. However I'm still sorta confused about damage up and defense up.
I read a lot of conflicting info about how usefull these abilities are. Most weapons have a minimum shots required to kill that cannot be overruled by stacking several damage up...
Concretely I'm wondering if I should add a damage up/defense up to a splash-o-magic set. The low damage of the gun sets it back imo. Often in twitch situations it'll either be a mutual kill or me dying. I feel that the fire rate does not compensate for the low damage in such instances.
I've also read that defense up is to be preferred instead of damage up.
Your thoughts gaf?

Wouldn't it be more fair if it worked something like this:
* Getting all the points required for the highest level: 18 shells
* Being on the most popular team: 2 additional shells
* Being on the winning team: 4 additional shells

Bubbler with blaster feels pretty useless. Everyone just kept pushing me back until it ran out :/

was close to the same results for Dogs vs Cats in the US. Team Cat never had a chance because of the popularity split
Yesterday (during splatfest) I won a 4v3 match on the lesser team, by quite a great margin even. What surprised me is that my best teammate was level 6 :O
Splatfest was mostly shit for me, though. I hate the lack of friend matchmaking, Splatoon with randoms after playing almost 100 hours with GAF is so meh (and so many laggers, damn).

Yeah, I would totally approve having separate rewards for most popular and higher win percentage.
Yeah but #TeamEating still won more battles. Shouldn't that count too?
I'm the ghost charger and my sensei is Violet_o.
No but really that's just lag. If I kill you the second you appear behind the corner or the second before you go behind one it's just going to show that I killed you behind the cover on your end. If it's any comfort there's nothing you could have done even if the game was 100% lag-free.
Greg, you were making me laugh that match wondering what you hit lol. But you have Haunt on. Stop it.
That looks fun and funny. Thanks for the link.
Team Eating had 26% more people than Team Sleeping
That's like playing a Splatoon match in a team of three
Never.

You can't exceed the minimum hits to kill from full HP (otherwise Damage Up would be the best perk by far), but the other thing to consider is that you have more opportunities to kill against enemies that have less than full HP.
For more weapon specific uses,
a) Custom Jet Squelcher has a very fast kill combo with 1 shot and 1 bomb. This combo requires 2 main Damage Ups, based on what Robotguy told me before.
b) The regular Splattershot can do something similar, but I don't know how many Damage Ups that will need.
c) Someone here on GAF has been testing and apparently the Octobrush can be perked to 2HKO with Damage Ups.
d) Chargers benefit by requiring less charge to kill a target, but you need to fully charge a shot for maximum range coverage anyway.
If the above cases/philosophy aren't what you want to focus on, then you probably don't want Damage Up that much.
Edit: well you can also get Damage Ups to counter an enemy's Defense Ups, but that's very perk specific.

The lag in this room... I feel like I'm in a sequel to Interstellar -_-
Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's just a game.
Oh I wasn't referring to the game, I'm just intrigued about the sudden explosion in everyone online using the word salty all of a sudden.
