It's stupid that they ding your power rating if you lose a match with a DC. But the power rating also isn't very important so whatever

Also, after playing Mario Odyssey, I kind of wish my squidkid had a idle dancing animation for splatfests. He looks like such a buzzkill just standing there while everyone else is having a blast!

Or drown in my own shit

You're seeing some kind of weird gradient on the green part. You've got dark patches in the blue, too.

The color range is just to denote the elevation changes throughout the stage

I'm about to claw my own loving face off because I got halfway through champion last night with like only 2-3 losses, and today it's the exact opposite, fantasy is just loving steamrolling every match and it's like I can't even hit them then I just loving explode when they look my way. I would think we were missing a team member except it doesn't seem like it's been the case so far.

I had this probably really bad last night where there was this roller who BELOW me, I'm shooting directly at him and nothing happens for the first 3 bullets until he just looks up and kills me with one hit.

18 Wins and 13 Losses on my way to the max rank, ending at 2100 splat power and peaking at 2167. I must be getting burned out on this game, but it really doesn't help your mood when poo poo like the above happens. I really hope Nintendo does something about this by the time paid online comes about (they won't. It'll probably actually get worse with less players to matchmake with)

PS: The sooner the splashdown meta poo poo is gone, the better.

You should be punished for using area attacks recklessly. He tried this stupid poo poo several times later in the match.

I doubt Splashdown is getting nerfed anytime soon. Not when people are demanding for the Sting Ray to be nerfed already, and that special is the bigger problem at the moment. Though I have to wonder if they're going to nerf the Splattershot at all next patch, since that's one of the most popular weapons in the game, and its kit synergizes really well with the Splashdown.

To be fair you made that about as easy for him as you could have without just standing inside the killzone.

Yeah well, every impulse I have tells me

- Stand well outside his range
- Punish panic use of special

Instead, he gets a trade because the splashdown gets armor because of reasons.

Sting Ray needs to be looked at as well, and I'm pretty sure nintendo is capable of doing two things at once... Well, probably.

Ink colours never mix or blend. A patch of ink is either one team's colour or the other's, there's no medium ink that's both. What you're seeing are lighting effects. When lime green ink gets hit with a yellow light (which most light sources in the night maps are), it's going to bring out the yellow component of that colour. The minimap also uses lighting to distinguish different elevations-- notice how there's lighter and darker shades of blue in that screenshot as well, and it's not because of blending.

Had a match on Moray earlier where my team was basically locked down. I managed to finally break out with a sneaky triple kill.

I get into their base and start doing damage and hoping my team realizes they can push out. Well... they almost did it :(

I had like ~5 fantasy mirror matches. Can't remember if I won or lost them, but I won 27 of 41 matches today and I know at least two of those losses were to my own team. That Shifty Station was fun as hell. Good Splatfest overall.
