I actively avoided playing rainmaker because I don't like the mode that much and didn't want to get knocked down ranks in the modes I actually enjoyed. Since I barely played rainmaker, I wasn't good at it. So when I reached A+/S (can't remember if I ever got to S in Splat 1) and my matches were really tough and close, I didn't want to lose access to those by getting knocked down in ranks from a rotten rainmaker session. Again, ranking up was way harder in Splatoon 1 so losing a bunch of matches was a bigger concern there. Now I don't give a crap since its a separate so I don't have to care. quote:You always had an incentive to play because the game is fun and when you win you get stuff. I don't think people should obsess so much about artificially increasing their rank in one mode while its slightly lower in another mode. I don't see why that's so much better than making things take less time to get to where you belong. And I don't think you should obsess so much about it taking a bit longer to reach the higher numbers if you are so confident you will get there anyways.

i feel like i'd burn out on salmon run a lot faster if it were continuously available but that's more a symptom of only having one map on tap at all times where are the new maps nintendo give them to me

Playing with Squelcher Dualies is like playing a completely different game. You are just immortal (unless you're forced to actually be the one getting on the tower or carrying the rainmaker). Very much looking forward to finishing this gear set and getting the Custom Squelcher Dualies whenever they come out. Definitely found my League kit.

I have a soft spot for Squelch Dualies and for a while I thought they were absolutely going to get nerfed. Give it enough time, the weapon has a really odd weakness in that its shots aren't consistent.

The new ranking system is amazing because you can have a global rating of A.S.S.

Sploot 1 had an actual problem where sometimes people would like, blaster their way into S rank by only playing tower control but suck with all the other weapons and modes and then you couldn't even trust S rank randoms to have basic competency at rainmaker.

Bill Barber posted:I've got bad news buddy. The matches at B rank are largely the same as the matches at A+ rank. If you're getting frustrated and not having fun trying to increase the ranking that you adamantly claim you don't actually care about, then I just think you don't enjoy the game very much. Its already way better at B than C or D, but no I'm finding A teams are much more co-ordinated. And I do enjoy the game but thanks  Internet Kraken posted:And I don't think you should obsess so much about it taking a bit longer to reach the higher numbers if you are so confident you will get there anyways. Again, I'm already there. Stop talking like this is a hypothetical. That's the whole point. Everybody said  it won't be that bad if you're so good, and I went and did it and I'm saying yeah, it wasn't hard, but it took a lot of time.

Tower control and rainmaker are practically the same. The strategy is pretty similar. The only one I could see an argument that you could rank up in that mode and not learn how to play objectives at all would be splat zones, which yeah is more like turf war than the other two.

For ability activation, does jumping off the map not count as a death? I'm trying to test out the Comeback ability in recon mode on moray towers, but I'm not noticing anything changing after I jump off the side and respawn.

I guess they both involve escorting something to the enemy base??? The tactics involved are so different that the superficial similarity absolutely doesn't matter.

The tactics involved are so different that the superficial similarity absolutely doesn't matter. Yeah both are basically one guy plays the objective and everybody else pushes and kills enemies or defends the guy. I mean obviously they are different but just saying if I had to say one of them was easier than learning the others it would be splat zones. With rainmaker you can choose your path and somebody needs to lay down ink but both of them require more team / map awareness than either spat zones or turf war do, where basically everybody can be a lone wolf and it works out okay. jokes posted:Man, king of the hill is the best when you bring Tenta missiles. Its really easy to get yourself killed if you try to use it offensively while pushing, but if you use it defensively its great for just splatting ink all over the place. I find they're even better on rainmaker, because usually people are pushing up a thin lane of ink really fast into enemy ink. Throw in some tenta missiles and surround them with enemy ink and they have nowhere to run to, sitting ducks. If you missile somebody with lots of allied ink around its not hard to dodge, but if they're deep in enemy ink they're boned.

Yeah when I see em get thrown it's fine but I've died a lot just rounding a corner or dropping down a ledge to a autobomb at the wrong place wrong time and just eating poo poo. Which happens with a lot of subs but that one more often because of the nature of its mobility

Thanks netcode. Thankfully that doesn't actually happen very often.

I can eyeball how bad my ping is if there's a roller on my team and track how delayed the paint appears behind his feet

Just had a great round of rainmaker. Splatted a dude off the ink rail coming to the rainmaker, activated the inkjet and laid out 2 more with direct shots from it as well, painted an easy path up to the objective. Finally clawed my way out of C-rank in Rainmaker. Seems as good a spot as any to call it a night. Working on grinding out a double special up costume. Gonna take forever, but should be fun to constantly spam specials once I get it finished.

I've had the misfortune of playing against an extremely skilled Charger player. Holy gently caress, that was one of the most miserable matches I've ever experienced and I never want to play against a Charger that skilled ever again. Any area they were overlooking was on complete lockdown and you couldn't even peek out without getting splatted instantly. The worst part was getting a moment of false hope when we managed to take out everyone except them and decided to push. We all ended up getting teamwiped by them.

I don't know what the map is with the tower in the middle, but it was king of the hill and some dude got up there with a heavy splatling and ended up with like 18 kills. It was such a one-sided match I felt dirty afterwards.

It would be really cool if I could play paired league battle and not get the other pair on my team being a brush/roller pair or a double roller pair PS if you do this, go gently caress yourself

Does anyone have any good advice for building gear? I got a bunch of gear of a specific brand, drank something that boosted that brand's common ability, but everything would still come out random and bad. Is it literally just about grinding through the awful luck and rescrubbing until you finally get the 5% chance of getting gear that has what you want? I don't even have enough drink tickets to keep this up.

Having two rollers on Splat Zones Sturgeon Shipyard is literally the worst

Level it up fully and scrub it until I get the chunks I need....gonna need like 60 special up chunks  . Really need another splatfest so I can do it on the cheap.

just ran into the first lag switcher i've seen in splatoon 2. dude was aiming away from our team and got ambushed by a 3v1, then proceeded to almost instantly kill all of us with just his squelcher without turning around. proceeded to run several more rounds with him to see if it was a fluke and i got killed from 40 feet away around 6 times with him facing the other direction. i almost threw my controller at the tv lol. this game is terrible for blood pressure.
