All 3 of my teammates dropped before the match began so I played a 1v4. I got 14 kills and 0 deaths. gently caress yes

I still lost of course because they spent the entire game inking the hell out of everywhere but god drat that was my proudest moment

So much lag. So few matches actually against the sleepers. But mostly, so much lag.

Two of us were rapid-firing at a roller and he still managed to splat us both individually. Next game had players warping around the map, stuttering, paint not showing up for 15+ seconds, all the signs of lag. How is playing against just European players worse than the times I've been against 7 Japanese people?

Is anyone on team roller coaster having to play against themselves? Over here on team water slide it's been good solid matchmaking all Splatfest.

Sometimes the lag is just absurd. I had a match where I died 3 separate times to a person using the Aerospray that was
- nowhere near within Aerospray range of me
- not even turned in my direction
- didn't register any hits on me, I just exploded for no reason, often several seconds after the person was dead

poo poo is hosed up.

Holy poo poo game stop putting me on man teams gently caress this is frustrating as all hell. We can literally still be winning but the second I die my entire team seems to crumble and there's no coming back in the final rush.

Today is really laggy. A bunch of times I had games where I exploded a second after splatting someone. One particularly extreme moment was when the person who got me was barely spawning, meaning it took the game several seconds to register me getting hit On the other hand, there was a couple of times where I got a message saying that I splatted someone when I am no where near anyone. After about six disconnects in a row, I am taking a break.

...none? :confused: I use it a lot and like it, although using it feels like cheating sometimes. Now the lag, I bitch about that all the time.

I'm trying out different loadouts over Splatfest. I've been trying the regular-rear end Splattershot and it's refreshing to outrange people a lot after mostly sticking to short-range weapons.

I would think the holiday made it easier for most people to play. Not all day, sure, but it's 24 drat hours long.

Well, sure, but I was responding to the idea that the holiday made people not have time to play games, which I found an odd notion

Well it was Independence Day so presumably lots of people went to gatherings and got drunk instead of spending their time indoors playing a video game

I just got up to Waterslide King. For some reason it feels like it happened a lot faster than last Splatfest, but then again I think I got aboard a lot more good teams this time around in between connection errors.

I think the whole connection thing would be a lot less annoying if matchmaking was as fast as usual instead of taking forever. The continue screen coming up after the results screen is taking a long time for me too.
