A Wild Splatoon Update Appears! (Version 2.2.0)

Hi squids! It's Hank from Nintendome! Nintendo just announced a new 2.2.0 update for Splatoon. They made some adjustments to the ranking system, as well as some light tweaks to game mechanics within ranked game modes. However, the big news with this update comes from Nintendo's weapon balancing.

Notably, Splash Walls, Krakens, and even Inkzookas were all nerfed. Not even the mighty Dynamo Roller was able to escape weapon balancing this time.

If you want all of the specifics, Nintendo has actually provided a comprehensive list of all of the changes it has made to various weapons in the 2.2.0 update. Take a look at all of the changes in the PDF linked below:

PATCH NOTES? WHAT IS THIS?

I know it's not Smash Bros., but I'm still surprised.

Anyway... small buffs to the splatlings, sloshers, Splattershot Pro, and Inkbrush? I'm liking this...
Also...
BLASTER AND ROLLER NERFS?
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS NEEDED (for blasters at the very least) BUT I LIKE IT

 

You just gave me the custom range blaster, a weapon I've fallen in love with, and then you take away it's ability to 1hko naturally.

Sigh, time to find something else I love.

 

Thank you Nintendo.

Bless your souls.

 

I love all the little changes they're making, so happy

It still one hits it is reffering to the point blank range of the splash. Here's a video shows the proof.

Definitely needed for blasters. I'm happy about it all around.

 

Basically the blast cannot one hit anymore but the ball can

I'm tired of getting hit around wall, so this is golden!
