    Specials seem OP?

    That's not really true, specials can add a lot to the game without having to be so strong that they're Easy Buttons like in S1. We don't have to be something like Overwatch, I hear Quake Champions also has weak ults that are still interesting.

    Specials seem OP?

    I've been kinda thinking this, but really it just means that inkjets and ink armor users aren't running around with huge advantages. The only thing I would change is to prevent baller from being used like a panic button. Increase its starting delay and maybe give it another small buff to...

    Remember, Sloshing Machine can sync shots

    Someone recorded a clip for me, here's what it looks like in motion: https://my.mixtape.moe/ocdldj.mp4 With some practice you can strafe around and combo the moving dummies all day.

    Remember, Sloshing Machine can sync shots

    If you're using a sloshing machine, remember that it's not exactly a blaster. It has an arc you can abuse. If you're about to attack someone that isn't ready, you can arc your first shot slightly up so that it has a longer distance to travel. Both the first and second shot will arrive at about...

    I'm starting to miss facing Japanese players.

    No, I mean rooms upon rooms filled entirely with Japanese names for hours on end. Cross-region matchmaking possibly got allowed if you have the proximity for it.

    I'm starting to miss facing Japanese players.

    I've been getting matched up with Japanese players all night in turf war. Is it fixed to allow cross-region play?

    Idea: A Room to Pick Colors

    That would be cool for casual play, but it would definitely be a good to put in private rooms. Keeping team colors consistent over a tournament would be good for spectators, so long as we don't get anything like the pink+purple in regular battles.

    Splatoon 2's rank system

    I feel like there's a bit of fixation on rank over power level. The entire playerbase could be S+ and it wouldn't be that big of a difference. I honestly think it could be an improvement. ELO is a big deal, it's not just for decoration. I get that ranks give a sense of accomplishment, but they...

    Splatoon 2's rank system

    Do we have confirmation that losing rank at S+50 sets you back to S+0? I'm aware it does that at other ranks, but that's when the OK bar is at 1/3rd, not 100%.

    Splatoon 2's rank system

    Ultimately, the game matchmakes based on some kind of ELO system. The problem is that there are not enough S+ players on at a time to separate "A- level" and "S+ level" players. I feel like the players are just worse right now, probably because they're not as familiar with all the new maps, new...

    The Sloshing Machine Discussion Thread

    That's what I've been noticing. For some reason, it gets affected by run speed up when it's already really quick for its range. So you end up with something similar to a rapid blaster that's a lot more effective at finishing people off or backpedaling from something threatening. I've been in a...

    The Sloshing Machine Discussion Thread

    Might be the best main weapon in the game. Same range as the rapid blaster, no jumping RNG, similar if not faster firing speed, faster strafing speed, more damage from indirect hits, a small "blast" that carries through the entire travel distance, and massive amounts of ink on landing. In...

    Splatoon 2 Discussion: It is important to minimise deaths

    You need to consider when P1 is dying. If they're getting 2 kills and then dying during their team's push for an objective, P1 is making a huge, probably game-winning impact. Especially if it's while the team already has a number or special advantage. If they're feeding in while the team is at...

    Hardest Boss Salmonid to defeat?

    Killing two flyfish is fine, but the team needs to be in voice chat. Two people go to each; one person can throw two bombs before the lids close, but the other needs to make sure the bomb thrower can recover ink the whole time. If both people try to throw bombs when there are other mobs around...

    Am I missing something with Respawn Punisher?

    This is going to be the ability to use if you're stomping pubs. When you're getting a lot of kills, all those seconds of the other team doing nothing is going to be a big deal. I can't count the number of times I've thought "If only I could keep these people out of my hair for just a little...
