Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

Sometimes when I play ranked I think to myself "how the hell have these clearly lobotomized morons managed to get out of C-?" whilst they're stood there, painting the walls in the corner of the map nowhere near the objective for 2 minutes.


It's a good argument for not having voice chat though. Some of the words coming out of my mouth...I don't even think some of them having meanings, they just have that certain sound to them where you know you should be offended.
 
Ranked is pretty much a huge gamble. I've made it to A- by just getting into a match with either all proper players or full of people who "suck" and then doing 10 games in a row. I feel like if you quit you'll just be put into a room with a few people who don't know how to play and then always get on their team which will make you fall two ranks and urgh. So yeah, if by some luck you get into a lobby where you can win, DON'T LEAVE until you rank up so you're not constantly falling back to B-.
 
After playing ranked for an hour or so and juggling back and forth between B- 50 and 60, I've come to the conclusion that it's simply not possible for me to kill someone without getting killed. Thanks to lag, it's just not possible. Maybe there'll be two times when I get the jump on someone but no. Every time I kill someone their gun fires from the grave and splats me. Every time.
 
Meh ranked is a major gamble. I finally kept getting paried with 2-3 people that do at least as much as me, we won so many games in a row and I was actually enjoying ranked more than I should have, I got to 90points in B this way so I was like "yay I can get my B+ back and take a break from ranked for a long while" So the last game, we were winning, by a lot. 27 seconds to 98 seconds and they couldn't come anywhere near us at the mall place. There was 14 actual seconds on the clock so obviously we had the game. But to my luck, this happens at least once a day and now was the time apparently, OUR WHOLE TEAM lagged, we couldn't shoot ink, but the other team was shooting ink perfectly fine and I was like whyyyyyy..... and then I got a communication error. Which results in -10 regardless of us being in the lead. I got sent straight to the squid sisters for the map changing news. Everytime when it's close to map change time and I'm still in a game, there's a high chance I'll get that error.

I normally don't keep track of irl time when playing, but I probably should to try and avoid it. But anyway, I played rank again and got matched with terrible teams over and over, even though some I won, I ended up back at B 40 points. So yea I agree about the team thing.
 
Okay this makes even less sense I am now at rank A- and I'm losing 8 points per loss and winning 12 points per win.

And now it's back to 10 per win. This system makes no sense.
 
I'm still trying to figure out the Overtime system in ranked. If no one has control you get overtime, but only sometimes. Like sometimes game is just called like normal. During overtime you have to try to take control if you're in the lead or get ahead if you're behind. But sometimes overtime will just end randomly? Wtf??

Winning perspective: In overtime, control at least one box in order to win because they currently have total control. Game will end once you do.

Losing perspective: In overtime, at least beat the winning team by 1 second and overtime will end immediately and you'll win. Meaning you have to try hard to control both or one box depending on the map (don't let them get any box for two boxed maps)

So yea it only goes in overtime if the LOSING team has total control by the time the clock is up, only way it'll stop if they beat you by 1 sec in overtime or you guys control 1 box.

It's been very consistent for me so idk, I'm bad at explaining tho.

New trailer for the Japanese Splatfest this weekend? It's looking sweet! But, will we also be getting the maps that they're teasing at the same time? Another cool thing is that all the stages will take place at night, so it's gonna give it a new atmosphere.

It also appears on of the new maps takes place above the roof tops of some buildings.

I'd assume we'd get our maps during our Splatfest which is like a week or two later.

This looks really cool though. Glad they're adding events to keep things from getting stale.
 
That Splatfest trailer is p hype

The new map(s) look cool
 
So I haven't used the roller since testfire, except once the dynamo roller when I hit 20, because I prefer shooting.
I decided to use inkbrush and omg, even though shooting is more of my style, this thing got me laughing.

The fact that I run so quick, I'd circle shooters and they can't get me, and then I'd run down an aisle at port mackeral to their base and I can escape and get through so quick. It's really fun but I can't take it srsly, nor can I get much kills unless I ninja it. But covering their base this way is pretty fun.

I want Splatfest already ;-;. The UK is getting Splatfest, right?. I've only seen US and Japan being advertised.

Yea they're probably mainly advertised since they're going to be the first two weekends for splatfest. (13th for Japan and 20th for NA)
I believe all of EU will get splatfest on the last saturday which is the 27th. So UK will get the Rock vs Pop option.

I've been using the Tentatek Splattershot for ranked mode. Wish it had the inkstrike or decent bombs but the Inkzooka is very useful for splatting snipers. Today I managed to splat three people at once with it... at the cost of being splatted myself lol.

Yes, that is the model of Splattershot I have been using, too. I am level 12, but still prefer it over other weapons. Although it is 'average' in every respect, it is precisely the 'balance' I like most about Splattershot.

Suction Bomb is neat, though I do like the Sprinkler, too, as a sub-weapon. In regards to the Suction Bomb, I find it especially great when you get that Inkbrush guy trying to be clever by hugging the wall beneath you, or when playing Port Mackerel, where people love to hide behind the crates as you approach their 'base.' And for my amusement, I bait people from the higher platforms after attaching a Suction Bomb to the side of the wall, heh.

Inkzooka is definitely great on that range and being a vertical wall of ink, but considering the length of time to use it, I would actually prefer Killer Wail for its horizontal range, especially when several Rollers are nearby. Think I like the Shield most of all as a super weapon, though, especially since other players get it if close enough to you.
