Well yeah, that's what I was saying in my original post. Though I think that's only optimal if someone only can play for a limited time. Your scores tend to get higher more your EVP goes up but you actually need to clear shifts to do that (or for that matter, to get a score up to 135). So it...

I so I guess I should specify more. I don't think a lot of people I was observing were bad at Salmon Run. Often times they would be getting more eggs and golden eggs than I was. It's just that they were also dying much more, perhaps more than they normally do in normal SR (though of course I...

I actually do like this idea and kind of wish they had multiplayer social spaces (other than the low FPS holograms you see in the training room). Part of the issue with squid partying imo is that it's in a context where competition is ostensibly supposed to be going on and that can cause all...

I kind of think the issue could be resolved by adding separate badge(s) for being in the top 5% (and maybe also for the top 1% and for something like the top 10 teams or something). It would then be similar to how the game awards a set of badges for reaching certain ranks in anarchy but then...

143 at EVP 230. Is it just me though but is Eeltail easier than most of the previous Big Runs (or normal stages for that matter)? I was able to get up to EVP 330 yesterday which is a personal best for me.

While I agree that rank doesn't necessarily have much correlation with skill level, I also kind of suspect that regular battles/anarchy tends to prioritize finding matches quickly over other factors like MMR/Glicko or good weapon comps. That might be why you are seeing this.

To be fair it's hard to use the Grizzco stamper without putting yourself at some risk since it has so little range. And the Grizzco stringer and slosher can be hard to use as well. And more generally I guess there is the issue that people will get weapons they aren't used to and that will make...

Maybe it's just me but I think I notice people getting splatted more frequently during Big Run than in normal rotations. And I have a suspicion that the reason is that folks are trying to get enough eggs for a gold trophy and so are taking risks they wouldn't normally be taking to get more eggs...

For me it's Battering Lento. Like others have noted there is the fact that they go after the ball. But more generally, they also knock other jelletons around so they fly off in unpredictable ways.

I love Squid School (and Rogue English Teacher while he made them), but on this particular topic...I don't necessarily disagree but I really do prefer to choose gear that I think goes well together (thank the great zapfish you can determine and use gear seeds to make specific builds). And I know...

I generally agree but I think this is a little complicated by the fact the sub resistance also diminishes non damaging effects, like the duration of point sensor. Splatoon 3 has gotten rid of abilities and specials that let you tank more damage with (sub defense being the only real exception)...

One thing that's been annoying me recently is when you are losing a game and some of your teammates just give up and sit in spawn yelling "this way". I think this is mostly in open and yeah i know that the loss doesn't matter much points wise but I still want to play the game even if we are...

Actually the more I'm thinking about it, the more I think this is probably an overly complicated fix that doesn't address one of the problems. Really, the big issue with utility subs is that some weapons are so gear dependant that after accounting for that plus utility subs there is little room...

Yeah that's what I was thinking too (though I didn't really explain it). The way the curve works currently would have to be changed for this to work. Maybe not a bell curve though, but just have a utility ability have small effect with the first sub and then with the second it jumps up to where...

I kind of wish you could swap abilities on between two pieces of gear (so for instance if there is a piece of gear you like with an ability you don't you could swap abilities with a piece of gear you don't like with an ability you do). I don't think they will every do this though. To be a little...
