Internet Kraken posted:Maybe Nintendo thinks people are actually looking at the gear other players have equipped upon spawn and trying to figure out what they will do based on that? That is a pretty useful thing to be able to do actually, for instance when you see a Luna Blaster wearing ninja gear standing there you instantly know what kind of rear end in a top hat tactics are coming up

I don't really pay attention to clothes at the start because I play late at night when all the other players are Japanese, and they mostly just stack attack and defense mods for some reason.

That's because damage/defense stacking is the new meta Especially the former

The dude asked for good drinking games, not suicidal ones. That's the one I actually play with my brother, by the way. When we want to speed things up, we add one or more of the following: - One drink every time you die with a fully charged special - One drink every time you die to a special - One drink every time you nail a squid jumper as he lands OR force someone to jump out of a bad situation - One drink for every suicide - If you get a flawless knockout (no points for the enemy team whatsoever), finish your drink.

If Nintendo had any intention of taking all your money in exchange for internet hats, they would've at least laid the groundwork for that kind of racket from the start. But hope springs eternal I suppose.

raditts posted:I got as high as A- but I'm stuck in B- hell now, and for every string of wins with a good team I lose almost as many with people that seem to think that the ranked modes are the same as Turf War. There are plenty of idiots out there. Tons of them. But the thing is, they're more likely to be on the enemy team. There's only three slots for idiots on your team, and four slots for them on the other side. So if the game is full of idiots, that's always going to be to your advantage. Of course you can get unlucky once or twice, or even for a whole frustrating evening, but if it's not balancing out in the long run... it's not your allies that are the problem. It's an even more pronounced effect with two player squads. I am by no means good at this game, but I'm also not an idiot who's going to open by inking our base in ranked. So when I teamed up with my friend who was halfway decent, we ended up doing extremely well in ranked pretty much entirely because if there was a team of idiots who were terrible and would ruin things in any given battle, they were twice as likely to be on the opponent's team than ours. As an unfortunate side effect, now I'm scared to play ranked by myself, because I'm ranked waaay better than I am.

I think most people realize that the problem frequently isn't their teammates but themselves, it's just that they don't want to admit it and a bunch of randos you're probably never going to see again are an effective scapegoat.

You're probably right in some cases but there are definitely situations where incredibly bad players somehow seep into the higher ranks due to luck or squadding.

This is something I'm really hoping for because I am a terrible min/maxer in this children's game about squids, but I always want to dress up in gear that would otherwise be terrible. That's the real struggle of this game; Style vs efficiency.

arcsig posted:When the enemy team has the rainmaker and is pushing us and two of my teammates are across the map inking the enemy spawn, I think it might be safe to say that's not my fault. Yeah definitely, but that’s not the point of Elba’s post. He was saying that sure, sometimes you’ll get teams that are stupid dumb. Sometimes you’ll get an entire night full of stupid dumb teammates and drop from A+ down to B+ or something. However, you’re also just as likely to get a team full of the super skilled players, and maybe your rank will shoot up from B+ to A+. Statistically, over the course of dozens and dozens of games, the ONLY consistent element is your own performance. This means that over time you’ll move towards whatever your “true” ranking is. If you belong at S+, you’ll eventually get there. If you’re only skilled enough to be B, then you’ll probably find yourself returning to around that rank as time goes on. Everyone likes to think they “deserve” to be an S+ 99 player, but it’s just those dumb bads that keep dragging me down!! It’s super easy to think about the time those dumb pubs didn’t push with the Rainmaker when the entire team was dead, or whatever, but it’s harder to think critically about your own play.

Master Twig posted:But what if you're in the situation that I'm in? You're hosed in the long run. But you'll probably have a few satisfying victories when good people happen to carry your team. Edit: Yeah, the point is generally that everything will eventually be a wash except for your own performance. If more people are better than you, then you'll do bad. If more people are worse than you, you'll do good. I think the funny thing is that means when people complain about "all these idiots dragging me down" they're missing the point that if there really were a bunch of idiots playing, it would be really good news for any non-idiot. Of course there will always be really lovely games where you're teamed with a bunch of idiots against a bunch of pros and you'll get stomped. Possibly multiple times in a row. But in the end it'll average out. That said, I do think most people understand this and just want to grumble about lovely things that happened to them, so there's no need to really belabor the point.

I don't feel as if I made it to high A by a fluke, so being stuck in the various B hells lately definitely feels like I'm alternately getting bad teams/matchups and being screwed by connection issues I previously didn't have. I usually acknowledge my bad games but at some point you're just totally at a loss.

I'm not going to say I don't have my share of matches where I utterly poo poo the bed, but when I'm topping the leaderboard using a blaster and the rest of the team is like 1-8 and was loving around on home turf or in a remote corner of the map while I was spamming C'mon and trying to push the tower / capture the splat zone, I feel pretty well justified in blaming them.
