So it's been officially decided - the Octobrush is the biggest crutch weapon in Splatoon 2 as voted. So /ink/, I leave one last simple yes/no question - do you think the Octobrush is a crutch weapon?

Is the Jet Squelcher a solid nomination for "most improved" after the Rapid Blaster?

Turfwar is best because even if you lose you would get at least 1200 exp (when using a ticket of 1.5, it's 1600 if you use x2) just ink at least 500 points. 20 loses = 24000 (or 32000 if x2)

and turf minimum with 500 inked is 800 points for a loss, right? how many points does turfwar give for winning with 500ink?

>there are people in this very thread right now and there are those playing salmon run right now who think risking your life to get more power eggs over golden eggs even if it means we lose

Why do you people do this? Having a high power egg count doesn't do anything, it's the golden eggs that work the multiplier bonus and that's a collective effort shared between the group. I've played with some of you in group games and you run into a mass of bosses to kill salmonids on the other side of the map only to die and cost us the game

In my experience, RM and TC are easier in this game. SZ is a shit show because the moment the Zone is lost, teammates just keep banging their heads against the wall running in dying over and over again never waiting or trying to flank.

Also Aerosprays.

I still think it should flag you for a loss first, then the next one you lose you get points/rank taken. So you'd have to win the next game and gives you the option to leave the random group and try out another team in hopes that it's better.

I'm sick of always being the last one standing, always having to save people and taking on bosses like a Steelhead with a slow as fuck blaster that takes 3 shots to take it down because the charger is trying to shoot ink at a Flyfish on the other side of the map while two other people are chucking bombs at it even though the charger user had to go through a tutorial to play the damn thing

So I finally got a sort of outfit together for Tenta Missile barraging - thinking of Ink Recovery, Ink Saver Main and Charge Speed as the sub sets. My question now is - is there potentially a nicer set of shoes that would fit this color scheme? Maybe boots rather than shoes. Still looking for Special Power Up though as the main ability.

>>184442408

How was it?

>>184442458
Special power up isn't really that great for Missiles, the benefits are rather small. Just use special charge and saver.

It helps when you're trying to get even one extra target in to reshuffle their ranks, at the very least.

I'm not super worried about Saver since I tend to only go down once, MAYBE twice per round (unless it's fucking Rainmaker and I have to drag the god damn thing myself), but Special Charge I have definitely considered on a main over one of the current Special Power Ups.

You're right, it serves to show how many Octocrutchfags are ITT voting "No". They're probably the butthurt fags who voted for the Aeromeme in a desperate attempt to keep their favorite weapon from being the biggest crutch of all time.

Not close-to-mid range. Just CLOSE. And you have to aim shotguns unlike melee and buckets. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, 'specially if it took half your inkbar to shoot and needed to be pumped between shots. I just really love using shotguns.

>>184447078
Well you're right, it kinda does.

>>184445208
t. someone who never made it to S, let alone S+, in either game
A weapon with no range in a shooter is shit, and you'd have to be genuinely retarded to think otherwise. Even fucking Dualies outrange the thing. Only people with shit aim complain would complain about the Octobrush out of jealousy for its more forgive hits. But if they used it, they'd lose every encounter to weapons with any range and realize they are just shitty at the game

Splatoon is peer to peer. The quality of other people's connections impacts things.

>>184447624
If the weapon doesn't actually help you at all, it can't be a crutch. Blasters are more of a crutch. A brush is an amputation.

>>184447940
The brush helps you out in lower ranks when you don't know what you're doing or what aim is.

>>184447940
It's a crutch simply because it requires no aim to use. Yes you need to get close but unless the map is wide open, that's not impossible and once you do it's "quickly spam ZR while facing their general direction to win"

I'm not saying I can't deal with them. I play charger and have a rough time anytime ANY weapon gets close to me. It's just when the octobrush gets close, I can't at least dodge shots

>>184448152
So does a blaster, but it has more potential. A brush helping to in lower ranks is contingent on there not being a competent player on the other team. Once you're into B+, which is an eventuality in this game, it becomes a hindrance. It wasn't common in high ranks in Splatoon, it won't be in Splatoon 2. It's just not that good, and doesn't even compensate. That's why only C rank players complain about the thing

you get the chunks when you scrub your tee?
jesus christ i sure wish the game explained some of this shit more intuitively

>>184447971
Respawn Punisher is the biggest noob trap because people think it just increases the respawn timer for anyone you splat.

>>184448946
Yeah, and since the splatfest tee is currently 2k to scrub versus 20k for a regular item, it's a pretty major incentive to farm them now.

>>184448946
It does, though. Not our fault you mash A in every menu.

>>184448398
It is hard to get close if the opponent has any conception of how to control space and some idea of the routes in the map.

Don't let them get close like a retard. Blasters are far more of a crutch because they control more space, have an OHKO, and have the AoE in case their aim is shit

is it worth playing salmon run past the daily bonus? you only get shirts after that, right?

>>184448729
Did you fill up?

>>184447915
No it's not you stupid fuck, wi-fi is "much" less reliable than ethernet (1/1000 package lost vs 1/1000000000) but for playing online or any other application really it doesn't matter at all (as long as it's "short" distance of course).

>>184449189
Unless you're using a router pretty much solely for your online gaming, it's right next to the device, AND it's a good router, latency compared to wired is inevitable. Your router has to "listen" for other devices, during which time it is not "listening" for your Switch, adding latency. Compare this to wired where it is typically receiving one set of instructions constantly via electrons through the wire.

This optimistically assumes you are in an environment where environmental noise is negligible and there will be no additional lost packets compared to wired, which is excessively unlikely.

If you have some megarouter that only your switch gets to use, then sure. Otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about.

The Splat Brella functions exactly like a shotgun, and you can even use it as a shield. A shield that you can also launch forward to help you safely advance towards your enemies. If this isn't everything you can ever want then shut up and stop being entitled. Either way it'll arrive to multiplayer sometime in the future. Oh, and the default brella will come with the Sprinkler and Ink Storm weapons. If you don't like that, there will also be a variant that comes with Toxic Mist and a Splat Bomb Launcher.
