Yeah, like I was bummed over losing or whatever but meltdown.txt is not only giving me some nice perspective but it's a hell of a consolation prize.

Well, that and 18 re-rolls. I'll probably never use all those since I only ever wear a few different things so it's really no big deal.

Whatever you want. I'm going to be putting two more slots on my 1* Black Layered LS, among other things, because I really like how it looks, even if its primary ability is just Ink Saver (Main).

Remember, winning is temporary, but looking cool is forever.

The bobble hats are awesome. I've mostly just been wearing what looks good, though. I don't really care about perks.

Does anyone here have the occasional trouble with shooting down from ledges? It feels that unless you are right on the edge, your shots more often than not will get caught on the edge. It's really annoying and got me killed a few times.

Not to ruin this excellent meltdown or anything, but the EU splatfest had a 6% win difference in favour of the winning team, not the losing team. You're wrong, in addition to being a sperglord.

I think this is the part where I became convinced that the dude could very likely actually be trolling. Although to me it doesn't matter because his posts and so many of the replies have been gloriously entertaining either way.

yeah it's one of those third person things.

ledges are advantages only by virtue of their surprise function i feel. As places to aim from it can get a mite unwieldy

I'm not sure but I think you do get some extra range if you shoot from a ledge. Gotta check if it's true.

I'm making it rain-Bo!
Man, I'm just glad I can finally vary up my fashion choices a bit more regardless of being on the losing team. Then again, I'd be doing that already if it weren't for my crippling desire to buy every article of clothing I don't already own regardless of what ability it has. I spend about 10-20 minutes just picking out the exact kind of outfit and weapon I want to use on a given day and I've probably just extended it to 30 minutes thanks to Splatfest. :shepface:

I also have that problem on ledges; trying to shoot down from it leads me to shooting the floor. It's less of an issue as a roller, I think. Unless a railing is involved. Being honest, having the low ground feels more advantageous than I'd expect it to, especially since I've been gravitating toward shooters with decent range on them anyway. Then again I am the type of person who can go on a complete massacre and then cut it short by jumping off the side of the map or meandering straight into the most obvious Splat Bomb in Inkopolis, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Just one more thing!
With the number of players playing it's not like individual skill matters much for a splatfest anyway. I won about 80% of my matches and spent a lot of time on it but Team Cat only had a 1% or less difference. If the losing team got no reward at all I'd probably feel a little disappointed but regardless of reward I had a fun time playing splatfest with friends in the room and handing off the gamepad and that was worth more than any silly video game seashells.

Can't believe people are still defending votefest and the design of it and using my being mad at video games as an excuse for apathy or dignation

Here are the results of the 3 splatfests that went on since the matchmaking bugfix:
J2 - 67 Popularity beats 33, 6% win difference in the losing team's favor
NA1 - 62 Popularity beats 38, 2% win difference in the losing team's favor
EU1 - 67 Popularity beats 33, 6% win difference in the losing team's favor

if your win percentage difference was multiplied by 5 all three of the losing teams would still have lost
67 > 63, 62 > 48, 67 > 63

I'm talking about just giving two of those teams 30 points from win percentages, pretending they have a 15% differential by the current algorithm, which is a 42.5 to 57.5 winrate split. And they would STILL lose because the algorithm ridiculously heavily favors votes.

Splatfest should immediately move to a system that rewards you 3 separate bonuses: One for team rank, one for team winrate, and one for team popularity, otherwise if you have the audacity to pick a team before the end of the 2-3 day preamble and pick the losing team, you have a low incentive to play.

Shine on, you crazy sperglord diamond.

Also lol, you're wrong. Team Rock had a 6% difference in their favour, not team pop.

Actually, I like how you just copy pasted the stats from the Japanese splatfest on the EU one rather than looking up the actual stats. I don't care loll
