I always play a ranked match and by the end just think - this is too much like hard work. It goes on forever and if your team sucks it's like skating uphill. So I return to turf wars and do my own thing. If I want to play ranked I seriously scope out the maps on each mode first too which adds to the workload.
Damn, this seems more like work than a game for GG.
Vader, I am now officially ready for league games. Lets do this! When do we meet up?
Had some great wins in the Rainmaker mode yesterday It's a mode I didn't even touch in the original, but figured I might as well give it a go as it was the only mode I could have played yesterday and since I hadn't ever played it before, I wasn't going to risk losing my rank. One game we were far behind the whole game, but we managed to push the rainmaker further than the opposition in overtime. No voice chat was needed to be able to hear them cursing after the game. 
How do you even aim that thing? Whenever I'm stuck with it in Salmon Run I just don't use it because it's so sluggish to aim.

So aiming with motion controls is useless as there is no feedback or resistance through waving it through the air and you hand ends up a foot away from where that godamn laser actually goes. So I found the best way to use it is to hold it at a specific point and just use the left stick to strafe left and right.
If there is a stationary target or someone you KNOW is hiding behind a specific spot you can just point and hold it and it can kill them directly.
What is most useful is when you have a long range weapon and you use the thermal ink to mark them. They remain visible to you for a few seconds - then if you immediately use your special you can still see them even after firing it for a second or so.
It's generally pretty useless but if you can see your team in the distance having a rough time of it you can sweep it across an open area which scares the crap out of the team in that spot and lets your team regroup or get a couple of kills if you are lucky.
I have acheived mastery of Splatoon 2 turf wars.
Consistently killing 7 + and scoring over 1000 each match with a certain weapon that is.
Also LOL destroyed the opposition in a rainmaker match on the stage level. They ran onto the stage and blew up the Rainmaker shield. I was on the ground inking the walls so we could get up. I popped up the side, killed 1, then 2, then the guy who had the rainmaker. Then the last team mate tried to super jump in and was an easy kill.
So took out the whole team singlehanded. Then nabbed the Rainmaker and within 2 shots was at the end goal and my buddy killed one in front of me and spammed "This way!" to me. So good.
Anyone else peeved off with those rails on Moray Towers? Multiple times I have shot or hit them to activate them then moved towards them and I haven't stuck to them, instead I have been shunted off the side into oblivion. I think there is like a moment of lag between activating it and when you can actually travel on it.
Supreme when are you on? GG you have to be B- now...
I had some great splat zone matches where I wiped out the entire team.

Nope, I hardly play ranked. Maybe 2-3 matches per day and we usually lose at least 1 of those. Funnily enough I find Splat Zones the easiest this time, whereas I hated it on S1.

You are a disgrace of a splatoon player! 
Christ, the disconnections are driving me insane.
Yesterday I had 8 matches in a row where my team had only 3 players. It was like being cursed.
Today, again, more disconnections. I was in this match and 2 of my team were MIA so it was 2 vs 4 on the other team. This guy splatted me (with his buddy right next to him) and he did that thing where you hit the sink into ink button several times to make that stupid noise. I was just like...... why are you putch putch putching me? We've got 2 fucking players. Bravo.
Also I'm starting to think that that article about the netcode being 30% slower is true. There are too many times when said person should have died but didn't. I snuck up behind and above this guy today about 10 metres or less from me. I set off a Heavy Splatling full charge into his back. I can hear the shots hitting him repeatedly and instead of him dying he somehow makes this miraculous turn and then we are both firing at each other except my shots do not seem to be registering. I also had another instance like that, where my shots didn't seem to be hitting the other person even when I had a higher power longer range gun.
It's really getting ass-like at times. And the game balance being so obviously favouring machine guns in turf wars is just boring. You can't get traction with anything else and it is just boring as fuck to face off against team after team with dualies and aerosprays.
The Tentamissile spam is also possibly the most boring, shitty, baby special move I've ever seen. I had one guy launch 5 of them to me in a single match. It's just asinine. If you have a machine gun- fine, great. If you use another weapon especially one that relies on holding a position - to constantly have to shift and retake a position every few seconds because some asshole on the other side of the map who cannot even SEE you, is firing homing missles - it's fucking asinine. It's making me wonder why I should even play turf wars at times. I'm enjoying Salmon Run more these days.
I was actually considering going back to Splatoon 1 today.
They have absolutely fucked over the Dynamo Roller. It is absolute shit now.
I never used it or liked it before but they have nerfed it so badly it is actually completely useless. And not only that, snipers were a problem in the first game, anyone notice that snipers are virtually never in turf wars anymore and if they are they get reamed? Seriously the balance is gone and that means the variety is too. Turf wars can be insanely annoying at times with the disconnects and bollocks machine gun - tentamissile spam.
SupremeAC said:GG, honestly, play another game for a while. This can't be healthy for you.
Fuck that.
And another thing. Having the Stingray laser jet thing as my special - it is the 2nd worst special in the game after the ink cloud. It gets you killed and is a liability more than anything else. It sometimes activates when you want to do a quickturn and you are a sitting duck. It hardly ever kills anyone and you can see it coming a mile away. This guy used his hamster ball special, ran at me, I activate the stingray, I must have shot this ball for 4 seconds continuously and he didn't die, it didn't even push him back like you could push back bubbleshields in S1. He just popped out of the bubble and of course I was using my POS Stingray and couldn't even move it the centimetre it needed to to kill him.
I'm also getting a lot of situation where people are doing splashdowns and being protected by ink armour too so they have double armour. So I shoot these assholes from miles away with a high powered Gatling and they don't die, I run out of charge and they just run up to me and it's over.
And another thing, in S1 I could even shred a freshly deployed splat wall and kill the guy behind it in seconds. I could also push back bubbleshields so far they couldn't get near me. Here, the ink armour is supposed to protect you from the 1st hit and only the first. So my fully charged Gatling being unloaded into someones ass for several seconds should kill them easily. Instead the (one-hit) protection armour seems to give them immunity from my shots to the point where my shot can run out and they are still there, so I die because my charge time leaves me helpless. In S1 you had the bubbleshield for something like that. Here?????? That fucking Stingray piece of shit.

No kidding. I play a shit ton of Uncharted but never get this worked up. In fact, I'm constantly laughing. I keep imagine GG playing with a vein about to burst.
Vader, lets do this. League battles tonight at 20h00 UTC. It'll be splatzones in the Shipyard and the Fitness.
Ok, we need some kind of name to bring terror to the hearts of our opponents... Team vAc? Team Splat Bros. ? Team Suck-it-up? Once we've settled this we can start thinking about a themesong and matching signatures! 
GAF said:As a new player, I feel like the aerospray is incredible for turf war. Had three games where we were defending spawn all game but had two aerospray users (me and someone else). 30 seconds to go, we ignore the enemy and zoom down the side of The Reef, hitting the centre and then inking as much territory as we can. Three times in a row this secured victory, the two aerosprays ended up with about 1300p each time, our other two teammates with about 300p.
It's like you don't even have to battle the other team while using these things. Also helps that the multi-curling bomb special can really ink a lot of territory if used from the centre or it can wipe out a team if you catch them on a ramp.
Pretty much sums things up.
