THEY NERFED 52!!
And they nerfed, Triple Splashdown? It’s AOE? For some fucking reason? Hello? This thing is abysmal half the time. It did not need a nerf lmao.
Edit: And they did jackshit to Vblaster. Amazing.

Layout’s two rectangles? Another Rectangle in mid and two on the sides… That’s it? Map’s layout looks like it was made in 30 Seconds. For an 80$ Game, this is just insulting to the player. Abysmal Dogshit.
This is also by far the most backline favouring map in the entire game. There’s literally nowhere to hide. You have a single block in mid for most modes, and that’s it. The spawns are also atrocious in this stage. A straight fucking line? Are we Deadass? Pray you bave a backline to help you get out of spawn Camping or you’re toast.
Probably one of the only maps in the series where all 5 layouts suck. Clam Blitz in particular is atrocious. Basket is so close to mid that all it takes is one Wipeout and you win. And that’s the gameplay. So Fun, Right?! Have a backline and a single push and you win unless you’re fucking incompetent at this game like my ass playing Mini Splatling. Tower? You’re a sitting target for Backlines. Zones? “BEEG ZONE WITH A BLOCK IN MID” Rainmaker? THE EXPLOSION COVERS LIKE HALF THE SPAWN WTF?! Turf war? Let’s just not talk about it. I’m already done.
And we can’t forget the “flank” on the left side that’s so fucking predictable that a toddler shitting his diapers would see you coming. The sides serve no purpose others than “GUYS WE ADDED TREES LOOK HOW COOL THEY ARE!” You can’t even Ink them for my ass‘s sake.
And the “Rework” came! Oh! ”It’s gonna be good! I kno-“ and it’s slightly bigger sides and like two fucking uninkable blocks. Wtf is this rework? It’s ass like every “rework“ they’ve done!
Walleye? Humpback? Wahoo World? Saltspray Rig? Kelp Dome? Gtfo this map beats them all by a fucking mile. The definition of a boring, generic and awful stage. Nothing unique about it other than being ass. Fuck this map.
One day…
This will be my world! 🔥🔥🔥
I told you so! 🗣️🗣️
How am I even meant to deal with them? This thing as no weakness and it’s only one is covered by 52. gal. Big radius, fast attack rate, good range and as fast as a wiper. This thing is impossible to fight 1 on 1.
One kit has bubbler so forget about approaching it when it has a giant ass shield ready to pop anywhere. And the other has TSD, something that newer players absolutely hate (Though nowhere near as bad as the main, unless all four players on the other team have it, because I hate spam
Oh, and increasing the radius made an easy to use weapon, into a free weapon that anyone can use because you’re less likely to miss and less spacing required to the point where you don’t even need it half the time.
Also, that argument is stupid since every weapon requires at least some spacing to live longer and paint, kill and displace more.
Kill this thing in the next game, it‘s getting noticeable in Casual and is far too oppressive.
Rant over.
Honourable mention goes to “Don’t be Dumb”
How am I even meant to deal with this? Impossible to flank E-liter and if I even try to play the game I get one tapped outta nowhere. Get further? Blaster gets your ass. Even further? Gal Kicks your ass. Doesn’t help that the latter two are free weapons that are so oppressive to the point where casuals see it. I want all these weapons nerfed into the ground with no hopes of recovery similar to what they did to Sloshing Machine.
The X button exists for a reason! Check It for For potential flanks! LOOK AT YOUR GODDAMN MAP!
Top 1 and Top 2 are Tied.
Honourable mentions include:
DAMN./The miseducation of Lauryn Hill/Tha Carter 2/ Nothing was the Same/Honest/Long Live Asap/Oxymoron
Mostly talking about the Splatoon 3 special. The Splatoon 1 version was just a ”use it at the end and you insta-win a turf war match”
This special does not feel good to use, like, at all.
On one hand, you get a special that paints fast, that caps most zones in the game, that you get three of these, and shreds every object special in the game with a single one of them. On top of that, if you get slightly grazed by it, you just explode.
On the other hand, you have slow movement, you can’t use your main or sub weapons, and you can’t go in ink form, so you’re heavily restricted in movement options and killing powerm for the most part
Did I forget that this is a GG special on three of the four ranked modes? Either it does way too much damage (Rainmaker), covers the whole platform (Tower), or paints everything (Zones). It’s a terribly designed special for the game as a whole.
It’s the opposite of Hammer, where you have multiple options on how use it, doesn’t restrict you that much in movement, and is fair on every mode. Hell, I now think that Splashdown is also well designed, because you can use it fairly (for the most part, as it’s still completely bullshit on Zones) without limiting the way you use it. There’s also a fair bit of counterplay to these two specials (Though Splashdown still have some issues)
Imo, it gets to do everything, or nothing, and I don’t like that. I hope they don’t bring it back in the next game.
Holy shit, I am so ass at being aware in this game. it honestly amazes me.
”Dead by Splashdown”
”Dead by reedslider”
”Dead by looking at the map for one second and then get obliterated from nowhere”
”Dead by taking two routes but that player is covering both routes so I just die.”
If I check the maps for flanks, I’m getting splashdowned or reefed. If I even stop paying attention for A SINGLE SECOND, I’m dead. I’m garbage. Don’t even know how I made it into S+. I suck. I can’t even pay attention at two things at once. I’m bad.
This match was miserable. Constant Back to Back Splashdowns with two rollers so trying to predict and prepare was basically impossible. One in the front, one in the back. Don’t even know how I got a kill here.
Title says it all.
I’ve listened to Take Care, GKMC and The Never Story. Any other recommendations? Can be anything.
Time to suffer again, I guess.
I’m too excited for this game. I NEED IT!
I’ve become a massive fan of Kendrick over the last 5 years and I wonder which album I should buy. MMATBS was my official introduction to Kendrick while GKMC is my favourite album of his. Which one should I go for? It‘s a hard choice for me.
(I already knew he existed since Alright though)
This special is awfully designed. It’s a GG special on Clams and Tower and essentially forces you to bring Booyah Bomb or Tristrike on your team. Pray you have these or you’ll have to shoot on an unflankable shield because of these garbage maps.
Terribly Designed Special. Hope that protection specials never make it back to the series.
This thing destroys everything in the game aside from super backliners if you even know the basics of this thing. The best weapon in the game should NOT be this easy to play. Around 10 matches in series S+ and I get nearly 20 kills every match. Nerf the AOE of this thing, it’s too oppressive to the point where it’s noticeable in lower levels of play.
Another thing I hate is that they removed every weakness it has aside from class weakness (Which is its ability to paint). Don’t even think about approaching it, because it could have Bubbler and SplashDown at any moment or 180 flick you out of nowhere. (Garbage designed specials, though Splashdown has aged better with me.)
I hate this thing. Nerf it.
