Yeah this should be a good thing. Lots of people on gaf have full friends lists, but now we can all still play together I guess?

yeah that's what it seems like
and yeah I actually had to delete a few people from my friends list yesterday because of Splatoon ;p
never once did I think I'd get anywhere close to the limit because I'm not usually one for online gaming. they got me good with this one lol.
Wait...
what? Sounds to me that private matches are actually more like public rooms in other multiplayer games? So we don't need to add anyone to the friend's list? But how does one search through rooms? What.
Ahh the plot thickens! This is good though with our ever growing friends lists to be able to play with many people.

Also shoutouts to Azure (of the J variety) joining my room and having his team dominate mine. Gonna stick to chargers in turf wars until I get decent.
I have to say though, switching to charger for a little bit makes me appreciate the gyro controls even more.

That's great. It means that there is no need to update friends lists and the GAF room(s) can be kept alive for all the timezones.
just venting here............
how the fuck can i go from winning 15 games in a row in ranked (B/A) then lose 15 in a row then win 15 in a row then lose 15 in a row -.-
I ranked up and de ranked so many times in the last 5 days. I dont get it! I literally went from A- to B- then back up to A and now 1 loss away from B+
its bad enough that i always play with lag and no matter who i join (NA or JP) i will always be about 1 second behind the action :\

Wow, that killed with two indirect flings.
I wonder how this will work. This would work as a good solution to allow friends of friends join, but also be able to control who can join the room.
Thats what i thought at first, but i would dominate the A rank and got up until 90 points (1 win away from getting A+) then the losing streak happened -.-

Dynamo Blaster confirmed.
it just means your equilibrium is that range. I'm probably equilibrium the entirity of A- all the way up and down
Once you are used to it, you won't even realize that you are moving it. Imagine someone saying, "I am not a fan of having to move the mouse."
I also use maximum sensitivity. It's virtually required if you use a roller or brush.
I honestly think its the maps. Some maps i dominate in and others i suck. lets hope the new map rotation in a few minutes gets me good maps

I'm a solid B+ player but I've managed to hit A+ once and I am currently paddling in A. My worst losing streak took me from A+ 80 right down to B 0. I felt like taking a shit on a rainbow. Ranked has some bullshit to it:
- Sometimes you and your team just don't sync. Maybe you're not the type of person to hold the tower down in Tower Control for example; you prefer to kill off the enemies that try to claim the tower from the sides. Your teammates could be the exact same way of playing and you'll have the problem of no one wanting to go on the tower.
- Sometimes your enemy team syncs too well. They somehow have a role for each team member and you'll just get murked. May as well put your gamepad down and file your taxes for next year.
- Lag. Comm Error. Unstable Connections. Disconnects.
- It could also not be your day. I've personally found that taking a break does help when you're on a big Brock Lesnar sized losing streak.
This could indirectly alleviate the issue of having your friends list be maxed out.Wait...

Someone created a mock-up of what the redesigned map may look like.

Yeah back when I played ranked more often I would only go on maps I knew I played well on. I still have zero experience on certain maps in some modes
Yeah that definitely looks like it would have two spatzones on each side instead of one in the middle. Damn, urchin underpass splatzones was one of the ones I was best at too
Ranked is a lot of fun for me. I don't concern myself with wins or losses. I treat it the same as turf wars, trying out new gear, filling slots, etc. I am (usually) rank A+, and almost every match is a good game. I have learned a lot of new tactics and skills at the higher ranks and play ranked almost exclusively now. I believe those who shy away from ranked are doing themselves a disservice.
I totally agree with this. so many times i play with people that DO NOT want to go anywhere near the tower which causes the tower to stay in its place even if all other 4 team members are currently dead and respawning.
I notice this because many times i manage to kill 4 enemies with 1 bomb (but i end up dieing and when i look at the map my team is just standing near the tower and the tower only moves after i respawn and run back to it -.-)
this can be a huge advantage for the team to move forward and gain points, but nope! They rather run around the tower and wait for the enemy to come claim the tower again
This update cant come soon enough and hope to play with friends and communicate
Yeah but I think playing with gaf has also helped me with learning new tactics and playing smarter, and unlike ranked matches I don't feel angry or frustrated when I lose. Most of the time.
I was in moray towers in tower control with 3 rollers vs 3 snipers :x
i'd guess they'd make it horizontal instead of vertical (on the map axis), like walleye warehouse
Perhaps 2 zones on each part of the lower section?

Does damage up help dual squelchers?

Hopefully so. I know most people here have full friendlists so it'd be really difficult to actually get into an active GAF room, this would get rid of the problem entirely. It'd also make viewer battles on Twitch and such a lot simpler.
Not really, it's capped at 33.3 damage per hit and already does like 29 or 30 per hit.
It could be helpful against enemies using defense ups, because I think enough defense ups turns the dual squelcher from a 4-hit-kill weapon to a 5-hit-kill weapon

I highly disagree. You must be in A- and higher ranks.
speaking for B- hell this is not true..
I wish I'd had your teams when I was trying to claw out of B+ a while back lol

I'm a B and there are some very bad players. In splatzone the last few times I played no one would engage the opposing team.
I am A+, and yes, you are right. It wasn't until A that I felt this way.
Although, I suspect a large lart of that feeling came from my own confidence and ability to better work as a team as I got experience.

Me with the Octobrush.
I wish i played with the teams you got then! mine feel like they dont know what to do at A rank
Where did you read that?
Ok I thought so.
I wish I had more time to invest in ranked every day
If I did I'd be A- by now. B+ is such a struggle, but I'll get out eventually.CoconutTank

Isn't that implied by "Private Matches do not award points or affect your status or rank."? I guess it could specifically not go to your character level, but the statement is not definitive.
Oh, status is an odd term to use. We'll have to wait and see I suppose.

I don't get any cash in private matches?! Fuck that. I'll be joining games old school style then (unless it's a tournament or something).

I guess ranked is gonna be my primary way of getting money now. About 90% of my time is spent with GAF.
