Your fresh moments in Splatoon 2

This round made an otherwise unsatisfying session very satisfying.

As I've complained elsewhere, the game frequently puts me in lobbies of new and casual players and makes me feel like a bully for annihilating them. That said, I had a newbie lobby that actually made me feel good for once.

Many booyahs were had. For once I felt like a hero and not a jerk on the playground Welcome to Splatoon, kids! I excused myself after this match, obviously, but I hope I made my teammate's day.

Holy crap, I get a couple new players in my lobbies every once in a while, but I've never seen that much level disparity and never more than 2 players under level 10. Those 2 always end up on my team though!

One time I used the Undercover Brella, used 3 mains of Special Charge Up and got 10 Specials naturally that game, and I wasn’t even trying cover turf XD

So a little background: I'm a defensive player. I like long-range weapons, I tilt when I get splatted too much, and I generally stop pushes, so playing a roller is kind of out of the question for me. I never played them that much in the first Splatoon either.

With Clam Blitz out, I quickly realised that my usual playstyle is not going to cut it anymore. The weapons that succeed seemed to be the close-range, in your face, run and gun ones. So I thought I'd give it a go because why not: curling bombs to get into the opponents' base, ninja squid to close the gap easily, comeback because I'll be dying a lot, swim speed for the rest.

Within a few games I was racking up 15-18 kills per game and snagging knockouts. I may not have played rollers before, but I've faced enough of them to know that you're supposed to get in there and cause chaos. It worked pretty well, I'd say.


With a grand total of 21 games played as a Hero Roller, I brought my stagnant A rank to an S rank.

Incidentally, I also learned that I can avoid tilting at a loss if I'm having an absolute blast playing. My go-to was smacking people point-blank while making farting sounds. My boyfriend thought I was very strange.

People keep telling me that it's a short-range metagame this time around, but I thought I could make it work anyway. WELL I started playing close range weapons too, and I'll just let this speak for itself.

This is legitimately the best I've ever done. It feels like I've learned to play using the H-3 all my life, then suddenly switched to the Splattershot or something.

Oh hey, (I think) I've seen you around in solo q! Congrats on the rankups.

Why I don’t main any Semi Automatics

Why I don’t main any Semi Automatics

If you're talking about the Nozzlenoses, there's actually some really appealing reasons to use them. They both have 100% accuracy, with the H-3 having this even while jumping. The L-3 and H-3 are both exceedingly ink efficient and great at painting. The L-3 is pretty darn mobile, but suffers from the requirement that you need a second burst to take down an opponent without any preexisting damage (burst bombs on the L3D make this pretty easy). The H-3 has that one-burst kill, but it's damn-near impossible to make all three bullets hit.

Just to clarify though, the reason I brought up the comparison before was because it was like learning to play Splatoon 2 on hard-mode with arguably the game's worst weapon, then switching to the easiest meta-weapon in the game (which ironically I dislike using) and tearing up the ranks with it. It feels like taking off the parking brake, like walking and jumping after taking off your ankle weights. I dunno how often I'll use the short range weapons, because I still tilt when I die a lot, but they're definitely fun.

 

[MotorGamer]

Mobility is pretty bad considering the disconnected blobs you shoot, especially on the H3

Had a great zones session last night on my alt. I forget how many matches I did, but I know I only lost two of them. One of the losses was with a DC, and I made the enemies fight for that victory. Also had two complete shutdown victories, where the enemies never capped the zone, which is rare in upper ranks.

I still hesitated a little more than I would have hoped, but for a session where I was trying to be assertive, I think I pushed well enough.

If I were to name a grievance, it's how little my meter filled. All of my matches ended in KO, but they still only filled 1/12 of the bar.

The triple with bubble blower was nice. It feels really nice getting a shower of booyahs from teammates after doing something cool.

I picked up my second gold medal the other day. Won all 7 openers and placed at 2135.

 

[Tsene]

I finally reached S+ in Clam Blitz!!! :D:D:D Oh boy I'm so happy, it's been the toughest mode to play in soloqueue for sure! Booyah

 

[MotorGamer]

Teach me your ways, I am only at S in Clam Blitz...

I finally reached S+ in Clam Blitz!!! :D:D:D Oh boy I'm so happy, it's been the toughest mode to play in soloqueue for sure! Booyah

Just thinking..can S+0 players get matched up with S+ 50 players?

Great matchmaking Nintendo...they deserve an aplause.

 

[Dessgeega]

That's worth sharing, hah.

 

[J'Wiz]

Not fresh exactly, but I had a seriously fun Splat Zones match earlier today on my alt. The entire match was back-and-fourth, and my team ended up winning 5 to 10. It was exciting! Honestly even if I lost, I would have been happy. The match was that enjoyable. My teammates were probably a little irritated with me, since I threw out a few random "booyah!"s in excitement.

Thanks to both my teammates and enemies in this match.

 

[Jon914]

First gold medal quad and first time I've finished over 2200 in league.

 

[InklingJoe]

The best I've done since I started... Still lost. T_T
