On the topic of choosing a team for splatfest

[Crystal C]

Do you typically choose the team that you "want" to win. Or the team that you "think" will win. I always go with the team that I want to win and always try to do my best for my team.

 

[SW°°Toraneko]

Yeah same here!

I always choose the team I genuinely want to win/agree with.

 

[Aristeia]

Same. I hate the recent trend of the less-popular team winning the Splatfest, even though I tend to agree with the less popular option. I've played in each of the ten that have occurred so far, and I've only lost two of them. I still pick the one I agree with every time. This time I picked Red version...and I know we're gonna lose. But I'll still have fun :)

I also chose red. Also even if we don't win then if we get the highest rank that's still like what 18 super sea snails?

 

[Aristeia]

Yup, still 18. And I'm pretty solid on money anyways so I just do it for the fun color combos and the change of pace. Solo que is rigorous :P

 

[Crystal C]

I have actually been getting more and more confident in solo ques. Which is good because eventually when I reach S+ 99 and build myself a computer I want to get into competitive. Also I am currently at S+ 45

I'll usually try to pick the winning team, just to get those extra snailies. Playing TW for 4 or so hours to reach royalty gets tiring, fast and the snails are really my only motivation to keep playing.

 

[Aristeia]

I've already gone competitive and I'm at my highest yet at S 49. And I'm doing alright. My recommendation is to join a squad asap.

I really want to but I don't have access to skype or anything like that.

Ever since Art vs. Science I've been choosing based on which team is less popular and/or less likely to draw the worse players, and I make sure to pick the other one. I have yet to lose a Splatfest since. I really just play for the Snails, Splatfest feels mostly like a chore to me honestly. Grinding Turf War is just not enjoyable to me, so I want to make sure my path to max points is as quick and easy as possible.

Being on the losing team is just such a slog, between the long lobby times, minuscule number of points earned, and awful matchmaking. I'm always completely indifferent to the themes anyway, I never have a preference so I figure I might as well just go with whatever will get me the most snails with the least amount of difficulty.
