Splatfest for all 3 regions this month sucks. Hopefully this year’s Xmas one is more interesting.

Did matchmaking break or something for this Splatfest? I'm constantly put on like 1900 power teams, while being put up against much higher power teams, and I'm literally getting the same teammates over and over. I'm playing in Pro mode, for the record.

Teams do seem “stickier”. I’m liking it because I play solo and it’s making it easier to build synergy on a crew over multiple matches.

The matchmaking is loving garbage this Splatfest. I have constantly been put on so many uneven matches (Real fun constantly fighting against teams that are 200 to 300 above mine), and most of my losses barely had me lose any power, so that means the game didn't expect me to win those matches in the first place. (I'm like 13-30 and am somehow still at the same power I started at. With an actual functional matchmaking system, that would mean my power should be far below where I started at.)

I know Splatoon isn't that popular outside of Japan, but good grief, the playerbase can't have dwindled that quickly for matchmaking to deliver so many lopsided and miserable matches.

EDIT: Ahahaha, right after I complain, I get into a 100x battle for team Gauc and win.

Kind of tired of shifty stations with the gimmick, "your teammates can seal the exit behind you."

e: Been using a splatling for the first time, it's been fun seeing an autobomb land near my and realize right then and there that this is effective against me.

I would go with guac but I feel like it’s way over used now in the food industry and now find the rustic simplicity of a good salsa more appealing. Plus tacos.

I had the strangest match. One of my team discorporeated on the start pad so I was like gently caress a 3 on 4 match... then the entire enemy team disappeared. The three of us still got the entire match to ink literally everything and gently caress around. Got full clout for it, too.




Also the colors are too real and it's pretty gross when I think about it.

This event's Shifty Station is kind of lame. The Halloween one kicked rear end.

Also I'm running into way more matches against my own team than I did last month. Is anyone else noticing this? I doubt Salsa is that much overrepresented.

I don't think I've hated a map more in this game's entire history than this shifty zone.

It's shallow and tiny like two fort, only the exits can be sealed so its even smaller. Also tenta missles existing make this map even more of a shitshow.

I only had one match on shifty where the turf difference was less than 15%. Without disconnects, I had a match where my team won 81%-14.3%

I just got this game so I'm kind of poo poo, but with my brush/hamster ball I feel like an unstoppable game winning commando on this map and that's probably bad but pretty fun.

I’ve found something to like on every shifty station so far... except this one. It’s awful and a team can easily trap the other team by rushing to the opposite side and blocking the choke point with the two sideways geysers. Very bad.

I just had a full crew in Normal/Solo persist through a fallback to the actual lobby during a map change. Is that a new behavior or was I just not paying attention before?

It was happening ever since the start of the Splatfest, and was even worse than before.

You mean you got the same crew after a map change? You probably just got lucky with everyone immediately queuing back in or something.

I went back through the release notes and apparently carrying your team over match-to-match is expected in Normal, even across map changes, I just hadn’t played the mode enough to notice before.

I appreciate that matches against my own team end up with us assigned ink colors that make the map look like the FIREBLU texture from Doom.

I just had a 10x battle (and got loving steamrolled). I always figured they were a pro-only thing. Are they just randomly assigned?

10x battles have a 7% chance of happening, and 100x matches only happen once every 10 minutes. (Good luck ever running into one of those in a worldwide Splatfest.)

It kept me playing after maxing out for a lot longer than usual. I love it when the last person on the team without a checkmark finally pops in and they’ve switched up to mirror everyone else’s weaponset. (Going multiple matches where one person just never figures it out, admittedly, not as much fun.)
