This game needs a decent 2v2 volleyball mode because sometimes turf war isn't chill enough and I just want to unwind on the beach with some squids.

I dunno, I really think ranked isn't that bad. C rank is a bit silly to be expected, but I've found some pretty well balanced matches in the b and up ranks

Also people are really starting to get the hang of salmon run. Got deep into professional with a bunch of random players today, scoring 60 golden eggs a run

Just let me play with people who aren't idiots already, for the love of god. I can't do grinding up 3 separate modes individually, this is hell. If you were actually as good as you think you are then you would of skipped ranks and the grind wouldn't be an issue.

Over the long term, yes, but that's why I said I was sick of grinding. If this game was single player what you said would be definitely true but its not. And I'm already ranked up high in some modes, which is why that was my specific complaint  Yes, sometimes I do skip up ranks, but you still have to play lots of matches with teammates that suck and sometimes no amount of carrying will win the match. Its a team game. Splat zones seems the most straightforward by far. Rainmaker and tower control both need teamwork, rainmaker is probably the worst for not being able to carry the match yourself.

Because none of the game modes are based on K/D teamwork and strategy can be way more important than raw twitch skill. Pushing through to higher ranks by playing with tons of lone wolves is just lame.

In Training posted:You can carry any mode if you try hard enough Yeah, pretty much. There's a bunch of things you can do to help out your team a ton. There might be a few idiotic matches here and there, but if you're really better than the game thinks you are, you're gonna go to a higher rank eventually. The matchmaking is fine. And even at S ranks, stupid plays still happen. It's just more in the realm of people just happened to make a mistake that set them back a ton. Zaphod42 posted:Because none of the game modes are based on K/D teamwork and strategy can be way more important than raw twitch skill.

I mean being able to kill enemy team members without being killed yourself or being able to wipe whole teams will certainly help your own team.

The best rain maker matches ate the ones where you pop the shield and dunk it yourself. It's like, where is everyone else Edit: I actually feel like rainmaker needs the least teamwork, in that two coordinated players can really make some plays.

Rollers and fast-inking weapons have a place in Ranked, which is a shame because they're bound by trust in your teammates. Blocking off all entry points and making everything around the objective your color doesn't mean much if your team can't pick up kills. I end up with longrange weapons every time even though I don't like them, because they feel like the only way to impact the game through individual skill.

The only mode I can't carry on yet is Tower Control, and that's on me. That mode exposes all my flaws as a squid, i'ma keep splatting though. EDIT: Are there any good streamers or youtubers that anyone recommends to learn more ranked strategies and such? Entertaining is also good.

The Gorp posted:I end up with longrange weapons every time even though I don't like them, because they feel like the only way to impact the game through individual skill. I wouldn't say that's true. I got up to A and S rank by making use of close range weapons such as the Sloshers and the brushes. I basically tried to initiate fights and ambush the enemy whenever I could (and if said ambushes would actually help the team.) Picking off enemy Chargers really extended my team's lifespan at times, and could help them accomplish the objective. My advice really would be to maybe take on a certain role you can play in battles and try to get better at it, whether it's fighting, something that help directly accomplishes the objective, or just inking turf.

They're pretty bad at short range because the main 'hit' of the weapon is a small sphere just like the blaster. (Maybe 'people' mean the trislosher which is much shorter range?)

I've pretty much had no problem gaining a rank a session so far. Be honest about when its your fault and when its your team's fault, and try to adapt to what your team isn't doing well. In one game tonight I could just NOT get a flank in with the tri slosher, so I just tried to zone people out and ink territory since nobody else was doing it. At the end was barely pull the tower farther than them and we won a game in which we were mostly getting stomped. Sometimes, it's not going to be enough; but with the way the ranked bar works, and how you're not penalized for rage quitters on your team; I've had a pretty reasonable (and good) time ranking up so far. Also, try not to get too angry. This game's netcode is garbage afterall.

That one has a noticeably shorter range than quite a few other weapons. LethalGeek posted:This is my post to declare there will be a minor bucket nerfing coming Oh, that's definitely happening. At least with the Tri-Slosher. There's no way that's not getting nerfed, it's like one of the best weapons to use in Ranked. Not sure about the Slosher itself.

Just downloaded a software update for Splatoon 2 (not the previous one that fixed the ticket bug) but can't find any information about it. Does anyone know what was updated? Also, thanks to the thread for being so helpful, especially for Salmon run! Details like how to tell high tide and low tide plus examples of the gushers for "Find the Goldie" waves was incredibly helpful. On that note though, in the latest round even though I found the Goldie each time our team couldn't make the egg quota. I've found that seem to happen more often on these waves and Mothership waves (and it's not just the mothership stealing eggs). Any advice on how to meet the quota for these waves - like should you generally always run back to the basket if you have a golden egg, or should you stay and shoot the Goldie/canisters, etc?

CatsPajamas posted:Just downloaded a software update for Splatoon 2 (not the previous one that fixed the ticket bug) but can't find any information about it. Does anyone know what was updated? If you think you found the manhole with the Goldie in it, spam the "This Way!" command. Even if you're wrong, hopefully everyone should be in position to help smack the Goldie when you do find the right manhole. if you're by yourself and you find it, definitely spam "This Way!" If you manage to get a lot of Golden Eggs from it, someone should probably be on standby guarding the eggs so they don't get stolen before you play hot and cold again. It can be a hard wave to farm for Golden Eggs in, so you need every edge you can get. Oh and when you find the wrong manhole, just move onto another one immediately. Don't bother killing the Salmonids that come out of it, as that'll just cause the Gusher to spawn more (Thankfully, they don't spawn an infinite amount.) For the mothership waves, if there's a Charger in the rotation, the Charger's responsibility should be sniping the boxes out of the sky. In ideal circumstances, your team will be swarmed with Golden Eggs and they only thing they would have to worry about is grabbing the eggs and getting them back to the basket. Oh, and the mothership. That won't always be the case, so the team should split up and snipe as many Salmonids holding the boxes as they can before they fly away. The most important thing to keep in mind for a mothership wave is to stop the mothership from stealing any eggs. When Mr. Grizz warns you about that, everyone should drop what they're doing and head back to the basket to defend it. The last thing you want is for your team to go below quota or being unable to meet it because too many eggs got stolen.

Meeting the egg quota in the geyser round is, unfortunately, pretty luck based. Unless your team knows what to do, it will be very easy to miss the quota with bad luck on where the goldie shows up. If it keeps showing up near the basket though its trivial. The key to doing it reliably is to locate the goldier quickly without opening a ton of geysers. If you aren't drowning in chum, you can focus on shooting the goldie and running the eggs back to the basket. If you get a bunch of eggs out of the goldie, make sure someone guards them as well. The snatchers show up pretty quickly so unattended eggs will be stolen before you can get back to them most of the time. Obviously this is all very difficult to pull off with randoms that don't understand the mode well. As for the mothership round, you should always be hunting down the copter fish. Big mistake you can make is assuming you need to clear out the spawner coolers. The coolers will blow up on their own eventually, so its not worth going out of your way to smash them. Only shoot them when they are on your path since they go down easily. Otherwise you should be scanning the area for copter fish to shoot and running their eggs back to the basket ASAP. Listen for the whirling noise they make, as that means one has spawned very close to you. The team should probably spread out to cover as much of the map as possible, as there's very little chance of someone getting killed in this round unless they gently caress up massively. The mothership itself should almost always be the priority of everyone on the team to drive away. There are exceptions though depending on the weapon loadout. If you have a short-range weapon, it won't be able to reach the mothership until its very close, so you should be spending more time running eggs back to the basket and only defend it if absolutely necessary. The high DPS weapons with decent ranges should be prioritizing the mothership above all else. Best example of this situation was the weapon loadout that had the splatling gun and ink brush. The ink brush was basically useless versus the mothership, but the splatling gun could solo it. So if everyone is playing properly, the ink brush user wouldn't even come back and would be delivering eggs while the splatling gun blows away the motership with ease. Ere on the side of caution though; you don't know how competent your team is gonna be. If all else fails, the stingray is good for driving away the mothership and a splashdown when its latched onto the basket will deal substantial damage. Unrealted: Am I crazy or are the dual squelchers insanely good? They seem to have really good damage, fire rate, and range. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Aug 1, 2017 |

You can also use the stingray to blast the mothership on its approach, which can cause it to drop eggs. E;fb

Anyone else experiencing the empty spot where the squid you just splatted once stood continuing to shoot you for a disconcertingly long time afterwards? I literally had time to turn around, get shot in the back, incredulously turn around and get splatted by a guy I'd killed nearly three seconds before. Are the servers just that bad?

I take back what I said about the Burst Bombs being not so great. They're probably one of the best sub-weapons in the game, along with Auto Bombs and Splash Walls. Has the lowest Ink usage out of all sub-weapons (Only 40%), and has a ton of utility (such as harassing, area coverage, and being able to snag quick long distance pickoffs) especially with how fast they come out.
