The Dead(er) Sea: Saltiest Catch

[Debbie]

I am so sick of no-talent twits spamming ZR with a brush or bucket and getting 10 kills in turf war.

Thanks, I try!

If you're doing that poorly, it's not just your teams that are a factor in these losses. You win together and you fail together, so maybe look at what you can do differently.

Cute, but I am averaging 1000 points and 8 kills.

ETA: For instance, last game was 1225 and 10 kills.

And still losing, so clearly you're doing something wrong. One skilled player CAN carry teams in this game, and you aren't doing that.

Not buying it. I should be seeing way more wins. I do more than my part. People getting 200 - 400 are the reason, not me.

The problem that a lot of poor players have is that they lack the ability to recognize that they are playing poorly. Stats mean nothing, only victory and defeat matter. Think what you like, but if your losing streak continues you may want to consider the common factor in these matches.

Sorry, but you have no clue. I have been in these matches. I have played with countless great players and watched many more and know one person, no matter how good, cannot carry a team all of the time. Plus the streak has turned around already, but your opinion, no matter how wrong, was listened to.

ETA: You're welcome to start a new thread about the subject, but let the salty parade continue here.

But I said that my observations are coming purely from tournament play, not solo queue.

Now i understand what you're saying, but i misunderstood because you said:

If it were truly that unstoppable, you would be seeing 3 tri-slosher in every match. As of now, you see the Tentatek more often than the tri-slosher.

So i (and some others) naturally assumed you were talking about solo queue, since you didn't mention anything related to tournament play in that sentence so we all got a little confused there.

MAAAAAAAAAN!
;~; what a horrible, horrible feel. Getting matched with two squibbies. An Aerospray can't carry! I damn well tried, though. almost 2000p without winning though! I only died once, at the very end. What a damn shame, though. Would've felt amazing. Echhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's a new record, at least. ;p

 

[SqidVishus]

You've beaten my best in the 1800s. Congrats on the epic score!

I was playing Rainmaker on Moray Towers. I wiped the enemy team on the ramp with the quarter pipe you can use to reach the goal. Victory was in sight.

The RM was at the edge of the ledge. I grabbed it and accidentally fell off the stage. We ended up losing. :(

I just have a few little salt nuggets to share.

Played ranked zones in hopes of finally getting some action on Manta Maria. Of the seven matches I played, just one was Manta. And it was the last one I played so 6 times in a row, I got port. I won 5 of those 7 matches, but it wasn't fun to keep being denied some Manta Maria fun.

And, while I kept getting Port, I kept being paired up against brellas who would contantly shut my team out with sprinkler placements in port. Apparently brellas are popular in S+ zones now? When you have to deal with two dedicated sprinkler users on Port zones, prepare to hate sprinklers because I know I do at the moment.

It seems my dear Herobrush isn't very viable for me in Splat Zones (*sniffle*), and I have no idea which weapon I ought to use instead... Should I try to switch over completely to the Heroshot (Splattershot) for a while instead? I seem to do about equally as bad with both at the moment. D*:

I used to enjoy ranked mode a lot, but I'm slowly avoiding it more and more, the S:ier it gets... It seems every mistake one makes in ranked mode can be absolutely paramount, and I can be a quite clumsy person... ´:S

 

[Dessgeega]

Zero eggs. I thought I'd do salmon run with randos for once, and I get someone who bothered to collect ZERO EGGS and we lost on the first wave because of it. In Profreshional. YOU GODDAMN IDIOT. There is a clear objective in all modes, WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE IGNORE IT?

Match 1, 1 disconnect...
Game: There was a disconnect so ranks won't change.
Me: Well thank goodness for that.

Match 2, 2 disconnects...
Game: *meter crack*
Me: -_-

On a related note, I think the connections are somehow worse in Ranked than in Turf Wars. Last night I got significantly more disconnects in Rainmaker than I did when playing Turf Wars. Not sure how or why but it sure seems that way.

 

[Elecmaw]

can we just call Turf War lobby waiting sim from now on

Our options seem to be waiting around or pathetically unstable connections. If Ninty's expecting people to pay for online play in the future, they'd best step up their game.

I really wish this game had something like SSB has, where you have a small playing field to mess around with while the game is gathering up players. At least then you can entertain yourself instead of making funny noises by mashing buttons.

Reggie was charging his phone, that's why we got so many disconnects - he unplugged all the servers

 

[Agent Z]

Squidbeats 2 was made to make me suffer. WHY CAN'T I STOP PLAYING IT?????

I still wonder why they didn't add a minigame just like Squid Jump. They even have Squid Beatz if they didn't want to go to the fuss of making another minigame. It would have been so easy to just squish the lobby names down to make room for something fun to do.
