Just reading the english patch notes here http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27028/~/how-to-update-splatoon-2 quote:Fixed an issue allowing a Flyfish’s missle launcher to be destroyed when hit with a bomb just as it closed, although the bomb hadn’t gone inside. They should 100% leave this in. It's super hard to hit and Flyfish are OP anyway. It's like a reward for a difficult skillshot. Plus bugs that become intended mechanics are cool as hell. Look at Dota 2.

WHen does the update go live? Excited to try out some new weapons maybe. Edit: holy crap Splattershot Pro Forge Splattershot Pro ・Increased shot speed by roughly 67%, while not changing shot range. • Decreased weapon sway when shooting on the ground by roughly 10%. • Decreased weapon sway when shooting right after a jump by roughly 40%. • Increased movement speed while shooting by roughly 10%.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Even if you had the most optimum weapon set possible and a team of insane Splatoon veterans ready to go and work together like some kind of insane squidkid hivemind, Goldie rounds are still a wretched crapshoot of RNG that can fail you through no fault of your own. Yeah, Goldie Seeking really is the worst wave in the game. Especially if the Goldie happens to spawn on the outer edge of the map all the time, making it difficult to ferry the eggs to the basket in time. It's not particularly exciting from a skill standpoint either, since you're just playing a game of hot and cold. Grillers and Mothership rounds at least demand skill from the team. Polish Avenger posted:Just reading the english patch notes here Flyfish aren't OP. Drizzlers and Stingers are far worse and have to be dealt with immediately. Drizzlers can basically block off entire areas and are extremely time consuming to kill, while Stingers are aimbotting assholes that can be difficult to reach. That's not to say to ignore Flyfish entirely, as letting them stack up makes the wave very difficult to handle, but they have nothing on those 2 boss Salmonids.

During its active period, the effect of Last-Ditch Effort is now multiplied by 2.4 times the number of times it is equipped as a main gear ability (was previously multiplied by 1.8). i may have to go back to my LDE/Tri-Slosher build

I wonder if the .96 gal is worth a drat now I'm surprised they buffed the dualie squelchers as much as they did. Already seemed like one of the better loadouts to me.

Stingers can be outrun at least but if you get two or more drizzlers stay alive at once it goes bad fast as the inkstorm spam just covers everything. Still more tolerable then two steel eels on flat terrain like low tide. Sometime they're easy, other times two spawn together, sheilding each other and refusing to die.

I'll grant you that stacking flyfish is preferable to stacking drizzlers or stingers but my issue is mainly that flyfish have all of the things when it comes to making them hard to kill and dangerous. Sure their attacks aren't that hard to dodge but I just hate that they take a ton of ink, proper positioning, trash clearance, waiting for them to attack before they're vulnerable, global range. Stingers are easy to kill for everyone but rollers and chargers. Drizzlers have counterplay by directing their shot over useless space (I wish more people would do this) or lining their shot up and killing them with it. Flyfish have nothing like that.

Monkey Fracas posted:Was getting ganked left and right by the things last night- range keeps surprising me because I see a profile of someone using Dualies and think "oh I'm safe back here" It's fuckin' stupid that dualies have the same / greater range as a Splattershot.

I don't know how you can possibly say this unless you've never been on a stage with 2+ unchecked flyfish carpet bombing the map at the same time. Drizzlers are assholes but of all of the long range boss threats, drizzlers are way at the bottom and it's not even a contest. You can mitigate their effect from a distance, if not one-shot them altogether, whereas the only long distance offense against flyfish and stingers is the Sting Ray, and you have to have it trained on them long enough to kill them before they kill you.

Goldies literally walk all the way across the map when you find them. If your team is remotely competent you should have a trail of 5-10 eggs across that whole route, and two goldies is usually all you need to meet quota. Once you've got enough, you can just not pop any more geysers and all you have to do is fight off snatchers trying to steal the eggs. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Oct 10, 2017 |

As a .96 Gal main that hates ballers, I'm pretty happy about this patch. I haven't even wanted to play these last few weeks since that initial baller overbuff.

Flyfish are high priority targets, I never denied that. I just don't consider them nearly as high priority as Drizzlers and Stingers, especially when Flyfish require a massive time investment to kill. Time that can be spent doing more productive things. If they're not opening up their pods, I might as well go do something more useful before trying to go back to kill them. One or two Flyfish are bearable enough to dodge. Two Stingers and Drizzlers are not, especially since Drizzlers are great at taking away map control. Most of the time at higher pay grades, the reason we lost tended to revolve around those 2 Salmonids.Neddy Seagoon posted:I dont think you get just how much wave time you can eat trying to find the Goldie, gathering eggs, and then trying to repeat the process enough times to pass. For quotas around 12, it's doable even with bad RNG. For quotas around 20, bad RNG can end the wave, and not much can be done about it, which really sucks.

Night Blade posted:I'm more annoyed at the aerospray ink coverage nerf than I am about the baller nerf. The weapon already sucks in direct combat, why was this needed? Both weapons were excessively powerful in turf wars, and the RG was dominant in ranked. At least the MG got other buffs to compensate for the nerf. The Baller just fit in with the RG's kit way too well.

Its really not as bad in combat as goons make it out to be. I'd say its combat strength relative to the turf coverage and ink efficiency of the weapon is insane.

It charged its special so fast people were using 10+ ballers each game, so they nerfed it I assume they lowered the amount of points needed by the MG to compensate since it wasn't the one that was dominating ranked.
