Any Noticeable Changes in 2.6.0?

[Rockenberg]

We have all finally been blessed with this new Splatoon Update, but has anyone noticed anything different from the previous update? I put together this video about seeing that the Killer Wail's start up animation was changed...

Other than that, I haven't really seen anything that stood out to me...
Anyone else notice anything?

My squad tested majority of these and seems right. Opening Gambit I am somewhat certain is miswritten and does what another patch note says it does which was "The effects of Run Speed Up and Swim Speed Up will be applied as if 3 main slots were equipped."

Bomb Sniffer stops Burstbombs that don't have damage up boosts from killing in 2 hits. 1 Damage Up Main and 1 Sub will not kill in 2 hits if you have Bomb Sniffer and 3 def subs or more. Iirc, Eliter-gear burst bombs will most of the time still kill u if u just have Bomb Sniffer and 1 def main. Don't remember the results of Eliter-gear burst bombs vs excessive Defup+Bomb Sniffer.

Its definitly possible to throw 5 Burst bomb subs with Ink Saver (sub) now.

Haunt and LDE extra effects are equal to 1 main approximately. LDE QR effect might be 2, need to throughly test.

Arowana Mall had some changes in Turf War.

I haven't tested OG myself, but based on how it's wrote, it means it's making the main abilities of your gear essentially better for 30 seconds, instead of giving you extra swim and run speed. At least, assuming this is what they actually meant to change with OG. You haven't noticed any change with OG regarding any of the main abilities?

When testing, everyone had insane speed no matter what ability they wore. When testing what the NA patch notes indicate we saw no noticoable boosts to the main ability a person was wearing such as QR.

Moray Towers' map layout in Turf War now matches the one used in Rank Battles now.

Just saw that one, too.

The damage up of Haunt when being echolocated is noticeable with a 52 and 96 Gal. I'll probably test it later with an Octoshot/Tentatek, but it doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference with my main which is the Luna Blaster.

The weapon matchups in my games today were so much better as well! So far that's the best thing about the update to me. I think limiting ranked matchmaking to the same general rank will pay dividends as time goes on, hopefully making the skill of each rank more distinct than it is now.

Is it the layout from RM/SZ or the TC one?

Not sure, but you'll recognize it right away.

Patch notes say it's the SZ one

I was crushed by the new killer wail last night. And the graphic is different when it hits you-- it fills the tv screen :). Can I share this video with a Splatoon facebook group? I told them about the new graphics, but they wanted to see what it looks like now. Great video, btw. Thanks!

Yes, you may and thank you. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who's noticed the change, haha.

We had a dcd player in ranked and when our team lost I lost 1pt instead or 4.

This is one change I definitely noticed in them making the wail more noticeable, which is funny sine I ran into it more than 5 times anyway thus knocking me out of Rank :p

I am happy that they finally adjusted the ranking system so we don't get punished by ranks that are 1 or 2 ranks higher. Perhaps this time I'll stay at that new rank, haha.

One thing I'd like to point out is that the update said that weapons will now be taken into consideration in ranked. Strangely though, last night I was playing and had 3 rollers on my team, and needless to say we lost, so I'm curious to know exactly how this was 'adjusted'.

maybe it is for a room? before the update i had a match 3 rollers vs 3 chargers i was so mad.....
I thought we would lose for sure

Nah, the update details don't say anything about it being only for rooms. I'm going to guess that it makes same weapon team comps less likely, rather than eliminating them altogether. It did only happen for one match, in any event.

yeah but what i meant was, (I know what you mean and get that) my point was I would not really call it broken unless the room itself is a bad mix (I/e 3/4 rollers vs 3/4 chargers insted of splitting them up between the 2 teams) only real way to know if it is working or not

I dont remember the weapons the opposing team was using, only that they were varied. I'm not doubting that weapon comps were adjusted, just a bit disappointed that it still happens, despite the patch explicitly stating that it would be taken into account. Just an isolated incident I suppose.
