So don't gently caress it up

So what your saying is the Octoling victory is a forgone conclusion for ours is the sword of Michael?

As you can see a couple posts above, there's going to be a (temporary) new map with a gimmick tied to opening doors by shooting tentacles, although I assume you can figure it out in recon mode.

If you haven't already, you should download the app. It lets you see your wins and losses for the last fifty rounds, which is a fun little way to depress yourself if you suck like I do. The app also lets you order clothing with abilities that don't typically come with those clothes.

Murch will also scrub your splatfest t-shirt for only 2000 coins, making this a good time to farm ability chunks.

It's the one time turf war gets ranked play, so if you're above the pool average during normal turf war, you'll suddenly get matched with people on your tier, who you'll only win against about half the time.

Can't touch this.
No really, you can't
I feel like a plague has been visited on my house or something. My partner and I have played two hours of salmon run today and literally no joke almost every game had either a literal child who walked around and did nothing or a leaver. We ranked down from overachiever to part-timer. Seriously, what the gently caress? How does someone who jumps off the level and DCs as soon as a griller wave comes up even get to overachiever in the first place?

Probably the massacre last weekend, and they’re throwing matches so they rank down to something more their level.

Well, there was this session with Mr Grizz's weapons, so that might've brought in a tide of wholly unprepared squid kids to the upper ranks.

Depends on the map.

Hate it on the skatepark, but old towers was probably my favourite zones map in comparison.

Two zones a stones throw away just isn't that fun or interesting, but two zones a fair distance away from each other forces some more strategic plays.

Pretty much. 2 zones far enough apart means that you can't just toss a special at the zone to instantly cap it. It encourages more defensive and smarter plays.

Dizz posted:

Well the game is capable of handling 3 Splat Zones. Seems like they planned on doing that at some point. But they probably never implemented it because yeah, that's probably going too far into stalemate encouragement.

So far 0-6 mirror matches for me on team octo but I was predicting we had close to 70% popularity, so I guess I was waaaay off on that.

The undercover brella is very, very stupid, and newer players just don't know how to deal with it.

They stare at it like a deer caught in the headlights.

This will be a very quick run up to max rank.
