I played like 4-5 hours with the Switch in handheld mode and it was the first time one of my fingers got stiff and I had to bend it with the other hand. :x

All I ask is for the Aerospray to be nerfed and the match making to be tweaked. Seems turf war games are won and lost on how many Aerosprays are on a team.
Also some net code lols: watched two people strafe around with Aerosprays throwing paint everywhere but never hitting each other. One just dropped and died.

I need bucket and brush and roller to be nerfed. All one hit kills, nah.

Any time I see people claim match making should be tweaked I wonder if they honestly believe that weapons and levels are the only, or even the sole, metrics used to pair people up
Agreed, split joy cons is the way to go for motion
As far as I'm aware it's your play style that dictates who you get matched against. But please enlighten me if it's the contrary.

No.
I'm an Aerospray main.
Our damage is terrible. You can kill us easily. Its not even funny.

Just want you to know, since this is an ongoing problem with Respawn Punisher being translated very ineffectively; the penalties from Respawn Punisher apply to anyone you splat, and to you when you are splatted. It is not a reactive ability; it is a double-edged offensive ability.
You can have all your abilities anywhere on your gear and they all contribute the same way.
Yup!
This.
I use everything but aerospray and consistently destroy people using it. Do people not know to keep their distance from aerospray users? Their range is horrible and the way they blindly use their special so you can just swim up to them and kill them is like free kills.

Just because I'm an Aerospray main that can acknowledge our terrible damage output... that doesn't mean you can say our range and special is horrible. :^)
Where you at?
I'll show you how a true Aerospray main fights.

^_^ if one of my team mates got the rainmaker I usually try to kite players from the other team away. Unbelievable that people still fall for it in rainmaker.
Aerosprays are fine. They're so ineffective at getting kills that most of the turf they cover up just gets re-covered by the enemy team. They have big numbers at the end, but it's all lies. I used to think Aerosprays were OP too, but now they're just free kills.
The weapons that need nerfs are Octobrushes and Tri-Sloshers. Way too easy to get kills with them without requiring any kind of aim. Just flail around wildly and someone's gonna die. They have too much range for weapons with that much spread.

They've got to need the ink jet. Just had a rainmaker game where the other team popped 4 of them at one time. They just last too damn long.

I hate getting shite weapons in Salmon Run
Hmm, whenever I use it I'll kill everything in my path and paint most of the map. I'm really not that great and I've not spec'ed any gear to empower it. Feel guilty for using it. I'll get past 1k on a losing team with it as well. I've tried most other weapons and keep coming back to it. Just seems to make any of the painting weapons (rollers, brushes, etc.) inferior.
I've actually gone back to the regular Splattershot since I found ink jet rather annoying. You either get splatted in the air, or splatted when you land.

Well they've said in interviews that there are a number of hidden stats that the game keeps track of, particularly in determining how you as an individual plays and how far you jump up in ranked. There's even a visual indicator of this with the "8-Squid Squad Power" that shows at the start of ranked matches. I'm assuming the same is true for the matchmaking in that there are a number of hidden components used to assign you a (hidden) "score" and use to group you and split you into teams

I like it insofar as it keeps the mode fresh each time slot. It also varies the difficulty nicely and forces you to adapt to new ways of play, both individually and as a team. If we were allowed all the weapons it would be fun for awhile but the games would start to get repetitive as there isn't the balance for the full weapon pool to be viable (or at least, most of it) and clear weapons that can dominate multiple bosses over those that can handle one.

I'm on S+ for rainmaker and a match doesn't go by where 2 or more of those are the special on each team.
Just a few more minutes and Salmon Run was about to end. Luckily I could squeeze in one more match and get enough points for a second super bonus. That's 70.000+ coins including selling some gears. Making some decent money with ranked/unranked matches takes like ages. Fortunately we have Salmon Run now and it's challenging and a lot of fun too.

Reached A- on Rainmaker. Just keep losing now because people don't want to play the objective. You spam THIS WAY and they ignore.😕
Yeah I'm done with Ranked Battle & randoms.
Maybe i'll try League... 🤔

Humpback Clap Pack is still the worst stage.
I've just started doing ranked battles, and man, it's no fun with random people. I've been on the loosing team in most matches and I'm not progressing from C-. At all.
Oh, and I was playing rainmaker today and some idiot on my team decided to take the golden-fish thing and run to our side of the map, presumably to keep it safe from enemy hands. However, that didn't work very well and the other team rushed in, splated him and strolled into victory. What sucked the most was that we, after a bit of struggling, had managed to get a solid lead. And we were almost out of time.

I've reached S + 1 just fine solo....
i'm not saying it's impossible. I just say that splatzones and tower control are easier to carry
The game tells you NOT TO RETREAT with huge font on the screen when you have the rainmaker and you are not moving in the direction of the opposing team, lol. Some people just don't know how to play, they'll learn in time.
I've played Rainmaker matches with people who were playing turfwar..........
Shit my mistake then! I just don't get this summer gear event I guess. Are there any lists?
I think splatzones is the hardest actually, the maps are so small and you can get to the zone so quick .
I think rainmaker is the best for soloing it actually. You have a lot of influence in this mode above all others, as great rainmaker play, some craftiness is all on you.
then we have to agree to disagree

The aerospray is easily the best weapon for TW for mid-tier players and below. Great ink coverage, a good grenade and a decent super which bolsters your points and picks up easy kills.
It's not the best gun in the game, but it's too good for the vast majority to bother to go for anything else.
However, the real balance-breakers are the sloshers and brushes. They are too easy to spam and work too well outside their intended range.
It's so disheartening to see a tri-slosher spam it over and over again, popping ink armour - as if they need it (I think they have that?). It doesn't help that all the ranked modes force players together meaning you're a sitting duck at times. Tower control is particularly painful.
These weapons take little skill to use but virtually guarantee a decent level of success.
Personally, I don't think a lot of the loadouts are particularly well balanced... but yeah, sloshers and brushes are the worst offenders.

The irony is, we were doing fine up until the last minute. Had a solid 31-77 lead. I guess someone jnust thought safeguarding near home would be a shortcut to victory.
Sigh.

Not saying you specifically are having trouble with Tri Slosher or Octobrush, but for anyone that hasn't tried them, I would recommend giving Rapid Blaster, Jet Squelcher or Splattershot Pro a go. They can fight Tri Slosher and Octobrush fairly well imo.

I swear whenever I'm against a charger user, it feels like they're playing with auto-aim or something.

Make sure you throw a grenade so they have two things to deal with.
