Oh my
That would be a bad decision which is why almost no game uses a method like that. Team success should be most important. Bad teammates are always annoying in online games but eventually you'll team up with solid people.
Yeah we had a solid push at the end there plus that last second strike. Only 4% difference is solid in my books.
I know that of there was voice-chat, I could disable it. However, I thank the Nintendo gods that there is no voice chat every time I read a post like this (and there are many here). Even though I would never heard your vicious words, someone, somewhere out there would be subjected to this bullshit.
Rememeber, the people you are playing with are real people. Wives, girlfriends, children...
Well, that's something, but I think the losing team should get something even if the timer doesn't expire. I mean, I don't know, maybe others don't care much about unlocking stuff, but I'm not going to waste my time with playing something if it's not going to help me level up. It's not even a "git gud" thing, since no matter how good you are, you can still be on losing team since it's all randomized.
told yall about the .96 gal
Team games should never do this because it encourages playing only to benefit yourself.
What game uses team wins/losses to determine rank? CS doesn't. You'd be rewarding the people that do the most for the team.
I would be ok with it if it's completely random but no the game has a built in formula to fuck with you even further if you happen to be topscorer in an attempt to even the odds.
If I'm topscorer and lost the game, I just leave the lobby.

So I'm walking past people in the hub area, one of the Miiverse posts says: "Anime was a mistake"
I couldn't stop laughing
I couldn't stop laughing
fuck man :/ I was wondering why we were losing so hard. GG's though!
This worked splendidly for me.
I also discovered who Judd is.
How many times a day can one use this?

I just played with a mom who did an awesome job. She's joining up again, level 16 lol.
If you just want to be efficient to level up you should just be efficient and play the modes you want. I don't want ranked mode to be the only mode where people end up playing anyway.

Just go mid and play a snowball weapon
Halo for one (2 & 3 at least). There should be a combination of individual and team play taken into account but if it's all individual play you'll end up in shitty scenarios where no one caps zones and only cares about their K/D.
Yes, 30k to reroll all three slots
My specialty lol
Well, since you lose with no points in a knockout (you lose the match before time expires), how would BP be distributed? If time expires, you are given points based on what your team earned.
I figure most games with an ELO system pairs players based on rank and then awards a collective gain/loss of ranking and points/money for each team. I believe LoL and Data 2 do this.

Probably because of the split between Ranked an regular battles
I guess why not both? It's not really one or the other. I like to play to have fun, of course, but I'd like to be able to unlock the weapons by leveling up, too. I don't see why it has to be clear cut one or the other.
Could just give the losing team some base points or something. Not a lot or anything, but something. I don't see how that's a big problem, honestly. If they weren't going to give any BP to the losing side, I just wonder why they didn't just open it to max level players who it no longer matters to.

For some reason since yesterday, I've had a lot more disconnects and issues with people joining my lobby after someone drops out.
Almost had a C+ rank but my team was oblivious to all the spawn points the other team set up on the back side of saltspray rig so no one but me was finding and knocking them out. The team obliterated us because anytime we controlled the zone they didn't pay attention to the team super jumping to the jump points the other team established.

Aerospray has a terrible range and in my opinion is terrible for one on ones that's why I don't use it in splat zones I was getting beat every time had to go back to the .52 Gal
My current theory is you get double the points for inking over enemy ink, which give the Splatter weapon types a huge advantage over the others. You pretty much need Echolocator or a lot of run speed to get to the back line and out safely.
I did the Judd exploit in the wrong order, bye 30k coins
warehouse Splat Zones is insane, in a bad way
did I miss something? 30k?

I just found out you can cash-in your win streaks to Judd for extra coins. What else do I don't know about this game?

Manga clearly written as a primer to help people learn what the game is about and how to play, and the inkling boy tells everyone to paint the walls...
That's why I like the unranked way of scoring. You can incorporate that into ranked with a tweak or two.
I just had a crazy overtime game, then it kicked us out for the map change news item thingy
probably because it's one of the maps that requires a solid foundation learned from all the other maps. they probably want splat zones to go through the first 5 maps before throwing it into the mix.
Just got a chance to try Port Mackeral and Splat Zones.
Port Mackeral may be one of my favorite levels. It's so big, and has a lot of corridors. The moving trucks are a neat edition too.
Splat Zones is crazy. The matches are super quick and intense. I did notice it takes longer to find 7 others in a lobby, but that may be because I was playing this morning which is kind of an odd time.
