Internet Kraken posted:What the gently caress did they do to ranked? Almost all the matches I payed after the patch have had horribly lopsided teams. People with 2 rank gaps were regularly getting paired in my games, sometimes even higher. It got quite ridiculous at times. Like, what the gently caress do you expect to happen when you pair every B/B- in the lobby against the team composed entirely of C/C- players? Its stupid. I don't know if it's true for ranked, but I'm fairly certain matchmaking focuses primarily on accumulated k/d ratios.

Ranked is so boring. You either completely stomp the enemy team or they completely stomp you. Either way, dull...

I've had several ranked battles that went back and forth. And some instances where one team comes back and takes it at the last second.

I'm still only C+ and I've had more than a few matches that went 0-30 or closer. Hell, my team was being dominated in my last match, went 88-40 and managed to turn it around and win.

Every ranked match tonight I'd check the map and see one or two teammates consistently huddled around our spawn for no reason. Level twenty Japanese players who presumably have had this for a while. I'm not sure if it's some kind of new gimmick. Anyhow back to B- I guess.

So how the hell do blaster work exactly? I've somehow missed people at point blank range only to be killed because they shot vaguely in my general direction. Also, I will never get past B- apparently. Every time I get close either I get a team where one person just fucks off in a corner doing god knows what or I'm about to win a match when suddenly, "oops your connection lol" error and instead I lose 10 points for no reason other than Nintendo's netcode blows.

Alteisen posted:Do I really have to give back my cat shirt when splatfest is over? I'm guessing it's taken back because it has different textures depending on the splatfest going on or something. I see a lot of UK players with the gray one in the icon instead due to it being different there. Also has anyone seen any dog shirts in the wild? I'm team cat but the fact I haven't seen any teal shirts at all is really bizarre. Suaimhneas posted:What do you mean good, this is dumb as poo poo.

I wouldn't mind Ranked rotating game modes if you could still play whatever you wanted in Casual. I have to assume this is all based off some weird fear of Nintendo's that their playerbase isn't big enough to support it?

Probably. I wager they took notes on how well Steel Diver: Sub Wars fared and took precautions how that will work. But perhaps you're given the option to arrange your games more freely when the august update comes. At least, that's what I hope will happen.

Ranked you get nothing if you're KO'd, a pittance if you lose when the clock runs down, but you get a lot more money from winning than turf wars.

I think they said they rotate everything as a way to force people to play with a wide variety of weapons.

Cless Alvein posted:So how the hell do blaster work exactly? I've somehow missed people at point blank range only to be killed because they shot vaguely in my general direction. Blaster is a fun weapon but hard to use effectively. High skill ceiling. You do more damage with the explosion than with the shot, so you have to time it. The rapid blaster and the luna blaster are both vastly superior to the default blaster. Luna is closer range and rapid is faster shooting, both of which help make the blaster way more effective.

It's good for the same reason limiting what maps are available is good and why releasing a lot of the weapons slowly over time is good. By limiting access to what stuff is available, you spend more time trying out different stuff rather than sticking to the same weapons/maps/game modes all the time.

After playing with the updated game, I feel pretty confident in saying that ninja squid is still the best shirt buff and ink resist is still the best shoe buff unless you're playing high-level ranked. Cold-blooded becomes important when facing .96 gal teams

I feel like I'm dieing a lot more since the ink resist nerf. Keep getting shot then caught in ink from afar so getting away is simply not an option most of the time. Not really fun.

There's a lot I'll defend Nintendo on w/r/t how they roll out content in this game but not being able to play any mode other than turf war with your friends is Actually Completely Stupid
