How the FUCK do you win in Ranked Mode?

how the FUCK do you win in Ranked Mode?

now matter how many times I play I get pitted with shitters who think they're still playing Turf War. how do you combat this?

All I want to do is fucking play league mode already

>Splatoon
>Ranked
Why would you pretend there's skill in a game designed around the fact that you can't aim?

>designed around the fact that you can't aim
but you can

Play with friends

But you can't.

Yes you can, have you actually played the game for yourself or are you basing your opinion on what a certain youtuber said yesterday?

you can't

I jave the same question user. Unfortunately I think the answer is voice chat coordination with friends

how about actually playing the game, retard.

Are people really this retarded?

I'm basing it off of personal experience, 90% of reviews, and the whole design of the game which is built to compensate for the fact that Nintendo can't make a decent control scheme for a shooter.

It's because of Dunkey's new video

Get good.

I was in B- Splatzones before I hit level 11. It promoted me directly to that position from C-. Because I was the greatest.

Seriously. Not trying to brag. Ranked mode is all about gittin' gud.

So you watched a Dunkeys video yesterday and said "Hmm my favorite eceleb is right! Time to parrot his opinions across Sup Forums!"

Bet you don't even own Splatoon

They do realise he was being ironic, right? He literally tipped it off with the Knack 2 joke at the end. And if he was being serious, he's literally using analog controls. His opinion on aim means nothing at this point.

Use Aerospray

Youve just proven to us your a complete sheep.

If you played the game, controls are tight. Dunk plays like shit. The weapons DO have RANGE you know, and require tactic.

>They do realise he was being ironic

What? He called the game dumb for like half the video. If he was being ironic, he did a poor job of displaying it

How do I get a gf that plays Splatoon?

>Dunkey said it, it has to be fake! You know what an anti nintendo asshole he is!

Hang around elementary schools

>Dunkey uses analog controls instead of gyro and complains about it
Opinion discarded.

kek what
out of all console shooters splatoon probably has one of the BEST control schemes

He plays without gyro controls which is a big disadvantage. Of course he can't aim using just analogs, it's damn near impossible. It's like playing PC FPS games using just touchpad. Sure, you can - but you should not.
Now once you actually get used to the kind of weird gyro control scheme (left-right on analag+gyro, up-down just on gyro) the aiming is pretty easy and precise (much more precise than most of the other console shooters I've played).
And while it's true some weapons do not require aiming (slosher, octobrush), there are others for which aiming is critical (rifles, dualies, etc).

He used both, they were both unbearable when I played this on my brother's WiiU. I think people should be more baffled they can't do analog stick aiming right because a lot of games have already made that work. No reason it should be this bad.

t. Never played anything but the testfires

Analog stick aiming is fine. Unironically git gud

Learn to carry.

Splatoon just doesn't have any auto aim which is indispensable in other console shooters because analog aiming is hell.
Turn off auto aim in any other shooter and you won't be able to hit the broad side of a barn.
Motion controls are so much better.

You just need to carry my 7 year old brother harder idiot.

>I think people should be more baffled they can't do analog stick aiming right because a lot of games have already made that work. No reason it should be this bad.
most console shooters use aim assist which is why aiming with just sticks works fine - you don't need to be precise, all you need is to move cursor in the general direction of your target and aim assist will do the rest of the work.
Now Splatoon does not have any aim assist, which means just analog aiming is way to inaccurate (and yeah, I agree that with analogs you can't aim for shit), now here's where gyro kicks in - by tilting controller you can compensate for this inaccuracy. But it takes a bit to learn it, I'm sure dunkey went something like "Nope, I don't like this gyro stuff, let's turn it off" and then proceeded to complain about inability to aim.

You need to become good enough so you can carry your team of shitters yourself. At C+ people already know at least the basics.

The game doesn't have aim assist but snipers are still very effective.

Please tell me why that's the case if it's control scheme isn't better than 99% of shooters on console?

I don't understand why people is so fucking stupid. Gyro controls are literally the same as moving a mouse. You're just holding a controller, but that's it.

why lie

He's not lying, though. You can't play ranked with friends till you hit B-.

Not really like using a mouse but once you git gud at it and if it is correctly implemented in the game (and in case of Splatoon it is) then it is pretty much as accurate as mouse.

Because he only plays games with aim assist, so he thinks he can actually aim for shit, when in reality the CPU is doing most of the job.

Not as accurate if you have a shaky hand, but it's pretty good as a replacement.
And it's fun to use which is pretty important.

t. someone who watched dunkey's review once

It's because there is a learning curve and they get turned off when they can't play games like they normally would so they bitch and complain about a game being bad instead of getting used to the control scheme.

I mean, there are obvious differences, sure, but in essence you're moving your wrists to aim in both cases. That's why it's infinitely more precise than just using your thumbs.

>Not as accurate if you have a shaky hand, but it's pretty good as a replacement.
stop drinking
alternatively start drinking
or rest your hands on your lap or something

but yeah, it's great once you get a hang of it.

Which would have taken them literally just a couple of matches more. Seriously, it's so dumb.

Its easy.
If you played the first Splatoon.

Steam controller gyro stuff is better than the Splatoon implementation but holy shit is it better than just pure stick input.

I haven't tried that controller, but gyro needs to become the standard when it comes to controllers.

it's harder to play 1v4 than you think...

>Why would you pretend there's skill in a game designed around the fact that you can't aim?

t. watched dunkeys """review""" and thinks he knows the game

I know exactly how hard it is.

But I did it. Want my screenshot of me at B- and level 10?

ebin. now HOW did you do it?

Heavy Splatling in Splatzones.

Outranged everybody and painted the whole zone while suppressing/supporting against attackers.

Bonus for me because the rotation was "The Reef" and "Sturgeon Shipyard" and both of those levels have amazing spots for me to abuse my Sprinkler on the zone.

thank you brother. I'm guessing you haven't done anything in the other modes in ranked?

>playing Ranked
Thats where you fucked up

I dont want to but I have to to unlock league mode

>grab the fish at the Mainstage right at the start
>make a rush towards the goal
>win in like 10 seconds
>place third in my team's ranking
What the fuck does that even count?

player kills, ink shot, etc

Shitters cannot prevent you from climbing the ladder, because your team has -1 shitter automatically.
Unless you are a shitter.

>grab rainmaker
>get it to right in front of their goal
>teammate gets it back and brings it back to the stage

It's gotta be the ink you shoot, cause I see people with less kills ranking higher all of the time.

>grab rainmaker
>get it to the goal
>get splatted right before you slam dunk it

I'm now A in Splatzones and B in the other two.

Ink Resist is basically mandatory in Rainmaker. Aside from that, knowing how to handle the RM is important. You should be charging up shots and creating a frontline of massive bomsb that your team uses to push forwards and earn turf for you travel along. Object Shredder gets a special shoutout in the mode too. Amazing for shield wars.


Tower Control is just about teamwork. Though a Blaster can be a force of nature because of how effective that are for clearing the Tower. Quick Respawn and Quick Super Jump are great here.

Shit, and I thought I was doing the best in my matches

>splatted off tower in overtime
>lose by 1 point

>MFW only a bit more left in my Splat Zones bar to reach B-
>MFW next Splat Zones is Prime Time at 8PM EST
I have no cracks so far but I'm still terrified of that potential drop down

I'm numb to the cracks at this point...

This is about unlocked League Battles so I can't get numb to the cracks just yet

I was the same way once...

>tfw this is Rainmaker is the best mode i am at
>tfw is also the best mode, period.

The only tip i can give you is to look at the fucking map and flank the shit out of shitters while reducing their mobility. Tower and Splatzone both have a relatively stationary objective while Rainmaker can use the whole map.
