Splatoon General- Welcome to Crusty Sean's, how tough are ya? - Games

The only problem with this is that it very rarely varies between solo and team, so it's basically the same thing counted twice. While I think winrate should have more weight, 2 out of 3 seems a bit much.

So I finally got S2, and something I'm really enjoying about Splatoon so far is how they humanize the enemies. The Octos are under the heel of an oppressive dictatorship that indoctrinates them since birth. The Salmonids are horrific monsters, but they're honestly just trying to protect the babies that YOU are there to steal for a corrupt businessman that doesn't care about EITHER of you. Splatoon is honestly one of the more interesting dystopias I've seen.

And then you uncover the lore about how there are human bones everywhere in the (relatively) recent archaeology record and humanity seems to have extincted itself rather shortly after the present day by massive climate change. And that's before you begin the Octo Expansion and the lore intensifies. I hope they do more to develop the fact that Octoling is a different language from Inkling.

If there's a second single-player DLC, I hope it's something to do with trying to free Octoling society. Now that "I", Agent 8, escaped the Underground and destroyed the evil AI and its supersoldier culling program, I want to go to war to free 'my' people and bring them to Inkopolis and peaceful civilization. I want to be Gordon Freeclam. That could be said to be unnecessary because of the way the Octo storyline ended, but we don't know exactly how things changed in the aftermath (unless that's a reveal after you beat Inner Agent 4, which I haven't done because fucking lmao). We've seen the end of Agent 8's story, and we can guess at the (unfortunate) fates of the agents before Agent 8, but there are still loose ends that could feed a major escalation in storyline. Please, Nintendo, I need this.

IS it known how Splatoon's turf war matchmaking works? me and my bf have a theory about hidden weapon mmr (not freshness level) and would like to know more.

There is some sort of factor measuring skill in TW, as a patchnote mentions from the first game. I doubht it'd be too different than how Ranked works, where it only uses your wins and losses to determine your rank, which would mean some players you get matched with might not be playing well because they're trying a new weapon or something.

Ranked allegedly uses a modified Glicko-2 power rating for ranked matchmaking. It seems like it's using the same, or at least a really similar, algorithm for your numeric matchmaking power level during Splatfests. I would assume that the matchmaking for normal Turf War uses the same thing as is used in Splatfests, it's just never shown to players.

I love the Heavy Splatling but holy fuck is it outclassed by literally everything else ever nothing is more fun then firing a fucking ink minigun but it can't compete with everything else and it mads me sad

The kits for each weapon is as follows: Splattershot: Stickybomb and Tentamissles Roller: Splat bomb and Bubble Blower Charger (+scoped): Sprinkler and something, still trying to figure out. Dualies: Stickybomb and same special as the charger.

The Baller is the special for the Charger and Dualies. They are also doing a top to bottom rework of Splatfests https://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/178056143339/starting-with-ver400-splatfests-in-splatoon-2

Is nobody going to talk about how there's BLACK INK

Live from Squid Research Lab — Check out these upcoming updates ..

Those Kensa weapons look really nice. A little disappointed there doesn't seem to be any new Octoling hairstyles coming though

Thank fucking christ Splatfests are getting an overhaul. Half my dread with them was stressing over my squid power like it was my damn SR in Overwatch, so I'm glad I can participate a little more casually now also, that increase in rank points now https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/211022/02233940-ba6d-43c1-b1ca-aa984dbc4749/image.png

The English blog doesn't mention it, but the Japanese Twitter says balance patches will continue until July of next year.

English patchnotes are up: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27028/p/897 Some interesting changes, and apparently a new music track for SR.

I'm all about the "give dedicated servers, I'm not paying for P2P matchmaking" style, unfortunately.

Thanks to dataminers, we now have: Future SR content More updated maps
