Map Discussion: Flounder Heights

I've used that spot! Always got countersniped and didn't have much success, but I've used it. Thanks for pointing it out, mate.

 

[Helio]

Thank you so much! I figured it would be there ;)

People can bomb from below. You should see them. Abiut the only good spot, the center get ran over too much that you get mired in close combat.

SO I was listening to the Famicast podcast and they mentioned that the name of this map in Japan means public housing- which I guess is comparable to the Projects in the US. Pretty interesting.

One thing that is really cute is during splatfest some of the windows will have their blinds closed but the lights on inside and you can see the silhouettes of dancing Jellies in some of them.

I'm finding rainmaker on this map to be really fun. Turf wars is giving me some problems though, not sure why.

You've also got crickets chirping instead of cicadas.

Darn- I missed that! Really cool attention to detail for something that is tied to an event.

BEHOLD, a neat way to sneak around that part of the sign.

Also, a scary jump into the enemy half.

Enjoy it while it lasts, folks.

Expect a tarp to be put over that wall area.

Just spawn camped the entire enemy team in a Turf War using the new jump exploit. I was right on their respawn zone too.

 

[aceofscarabs]

I love the way the Splatlings, both Heavy and Mini, interact with this map. Many places to set traps, although due to the verticality Splash Walls can be climbed around whereas the Suctions become more dangerous.

I just did the jump exploit in Turf War without any Swim Speed Ups. Its more about timing and positioning.

Please don't tell me they handle this like in Triggerfish by taking the map off for a week before updating.

I'd be totally fine with that. I don't know why, but something about this map just rubs me the wrong way. It could be how bad it is in ranked.

 

[DonkaFjord]

That's pretty clever. Too bad it is unintentional- I'd love to see a map reward some of the more tricky maneuverability that you can do. Moray towers and this map do it a bit, but its more for the longer ranged weapons. Its partly why I wish you could jump the gap in a map similar to bluefin depot, etc.

I feel as if being able to jump the gap in any form would rise my position on Bluefin significantly, but I dunno.

 

[aceofscarabs]

I find in Ranked I leave lots of vertical paths up the sides of the buildings in the middle. The slopes tend to attract lots of ambushers.

Specifically talking about turf wars, as others have said, I think this map is a bit too large. There are times where it will be 2 minutes into the match, and I'll still find areas that haven't been touched by ink yet. I hardly ever have a problem with coming into contact with the opposing team on this map as well; and even if I do, it's really easy to just flee to another part of the map and not have to worry about them anymore. I do however, like this map still.. I find it to be like a way toned-down version of Moray Towers, which is a map I honestly do not like at all.

If you're finding untouched spots on the map during Turf War, claim them, duh. They're where the PVP-happy players aren't converging for violence.

EDIT: Version 2.2.0 will probably patch both exploits I detailed above.
