I Made A NEW Splatoon 2 Account In 2021?!

[@inline885]

This is a really depressing video in the sense that it shows you exactly why it’s so hard to grow the scene in this game. The early game experience is total garbage and turns off a ton of players before they can even consider competitive.

[@ProChara]

Yeah and on launch its way worse with the lack of maps, octo expansion is gone, and even fewer weapons. Lots of textboxes and locking only turf until lv 10, really hope 3 fixes it.

[@inline885]

@@ProChara I agree. If you have the raw footage still, it would be interesting to know in real time how long it takes from booting up the game to playing your first turf match. While the controls, especially motion controls, take some getting used to for new players and I think a tutorial in some form is valuable, I’m sure it’s way longer than it takes to start your first match in Smash. Some people may not consider this kind of thing important, but twice I’ve ran into a situation where I was hanging out with other Switch owners and briefly lended them my copy of the game because they wanted to try it and even after 45 minutes it felt like they never got to really play the game and understand why people love it.

[@rollo200]

I personally ended up playing octoexpansion before trying splatoon 2's online. Not only do you get a lot of meal and drink tickets (which can help really accelerate the level 10 grind) it also can help early on in rank (potentially allowing to rank skip from C- to B-)

[@samdreaming2553]

i think its only low levels that it mainly happens to because i still play turf war and i hardly ever get into a match with a squid party

[@alexishunt525]

@@samdreaming2553 In my experience squid partying is worst at specific times (some weekday evenings EST for instance) and it can get really bad. I've never had it as bad as this video though. But I've also heard that TW has a secret ranking system. So maybe the people who just squid party are losing tons of matches and ranking down (regardless of XP level), and new players are getting lumped in with them.

That squid partying thing was so bizarre. I play Turf War a lot, not just Ranked, and I basically never run into a squid party group unless there's a disconnect, if there's a disconnect people tend to start partying but other than that I hardly ever come across it, even when I first started I never came across that, so the fact you came across it twice in a row was so strange. Also, a Level 2 player in noob gear cancelling Splashdowns is so cursed lol. Especially when lot of people starting out in lower level turf war probably don't even know you're not invincible during a Splashdown (I know I didn't when I first started, until the day I got shot out of the sky and was like "... o h .") so I bet that guy was so shocked LOL.

I feel a little bad when we'd sweep a team in turf - with them having less than 25% on their side - when it's very apparent they are new. I know what its like to be in a one sided fight and be curb stomped without mercy. But my first instinct is to not coddle new players in solo q. I don't go out of the way to be extra mean or anything, I just focus on turfing, splat when they're in my way and that's kind of it. New player doesn't equal young player or inexperienced.

What I've heard is that splatoon tries to match you up with players with a similar win/loss ratio when you first join the lobby (the first person/top name in the lobby is how they judge). I don't know what a new player has by default, but squid partiers probably have as close to even wins/losses as possible, since no one does anything.

[@DYSL3X1C-240]

I've read on a splatoon wiki that all the weapons use a point system in the coding. Each weapon has a its own amount of points(an example would be splattershot w/78 points) so MM would then pair you with others similar to your amount. Also in turf apparently the little flags we have for our weapons also corresponds to a rankage the better your freshness the harder the lobbies.

[@loganmiller7827]

I know a lot of people that really hate Splatoon, and I wonder if this is why. Is the low level experience that bad? Outside of Splatfests, I very rarely, if ever do Turf War because I think the mode is extremely boring. I had no idea that people would ever actually go do squid parties in public lobbies. Maybe that's why so many people I know quit Splatoon super quickly after trying it out and hated it

Only then can you start shooting 3 - Every jump is a trial. _Every jump_ is a trial. 4 - Never use Specials strategically. The thought has barely crossed your mind. Use them because they're new and flashy. 5a - You shoot when you see the enemy. You shoot when you think you're close to the enemy. NEVER rely on the reticle... 5b - ...Unless you're a charger. Then ONLY rely on the reticle. And charge AFTER you painstakingly place the reticle on a player. 6 - Every map is BIG and FRESH and NEW! Proceed with great hesitance. NEVER cross into the enemy's side; That side is SCARY! :(

This entire video is what it feels like to play turf war these days XD

[@level0maid]

As somebody who helps friends into splatoon, I often have to make them throw three or four games and leave the lobby each time just to find some bad players Also, when you were playing like a baby player, you used squid form too much. Most new players literally just bomb and shoot till they're out of ink and never use squid form for movement Sidenote, I believe the turf war matchmaking bases your matches off of your win rate, so you got squid parties out the wazoo because you were being matched with others with low win rates

I think once you get to ranked if you are actually trying you will skip from C to B, B to A, A to S etc. Like if you are seriously way better than that rank it will skip the -/+ and put you to the next letter. So it should go fairly quickly. Your video shows how atrocious low level play is and how frustrating it can be for new players. I have an eight year old son who I play with sometimes and even when we get on the same team in turf we sometimes lose because we are basically 2v4, if not literally 2v4. In turf I always tell him the whole strategy is based on being alive for the last 20 seconds or so, that will win the battle like 90% of the time. Obviously there isn't a 'meme' mode but maybe there should be. Or not because then all the throwers and squidpartiers would go to the 'game' mode lobbies for funsies.

[@SpookiBabi]

I feel like an actual squid party mode would be cool. Like crusty Sean could open up an actual shop/restaurant and we can go there for our boosts or connect via internet to chat in game or join in game private battles designated for squid parties, custom rules for self made games like hide and seek, etc. I think that would be such an amazing add on, but it'll probably never happen.

I didn't have a hard time against the other team, I just felt like I had to carry my entire team most of the time. Even now I'm in X rank and have stayed there for some time but when it comes to the other modes I have a hard time finding a solid team to where I can actually rank up in those other modes.

[@zoruasnivy]

I feel the exact same about moving to Splatoon 2, I didn't play it as much as Splatoon 1 because the changes were so vast in some cases it felt like an entirely different playstyle I had to retrain myself into. I've gotten back into it before the release of Splatoon 3, because my Switch had to be replaced due to a manufacturer error I've had to start from scratch. It's interesting coming back to it now but I'm doing my best to adapt, some skills are still useful as ever at least like bomb sniping. The focus on more complex and team oriented specials is going to take a lot longer to get used to, I can't just murder the whole team with inkzooka anymore. Overall changed for the better but will miss the hilariously broken stuff like disruptor

"Welcome to Inkopolis Square. The new nerve center of Inkling culture" most of the people around are Octolings

The hard part of climbing on a second account, having to fork another $20 just to do this. But doing challenges to yourself like a Splatlocke or limiting yourself to specific weapons can make the rank climb more engaging. I recently did a ranked climb from C- to X by only using Brellas, and it was hard.

The reason why you saw the octo expansion stuff is that the game still lets you access the DLC on other profiles if the main account for the switch has the DLC purchased

I just realized Marina probably has flashbacks when she sees the octoling hairstyle

2:20 if you have purchased the octo expansion on another Nintendo account it will transfer that purchase into the new Nintendo account or along the lines of that, i though it was cool when I made my cousin an account

I’m still at b rank from not playing Splatoon 2 in a while, and it is very hard to rank up these days.
