if you want to support a companys employees in a unionization effort, don't preemptively boycott the company to try to support the union. that can actually backfire and harm unionization efforts. wait until you hear directly from anybody unionizing on what you should do to support them

Competitive mindset check: It’s much easier to dismiss problems than to search for solutions, to blame others than to assess oneself. Competitive isn’t about playing when we know we’ll win, it’s about trying our best no matter what and reflecting afterwards. “To play without leaving regrets”

Maybe Its just my own bias but it just seems like a weaker mentality to complain so heavily about a weapon being OP or braindead or unhealthy, when it effectively just came out and everyones matchup experience is either nonexistent, or 8 years old in 2 prior Splatoon games. We should learn first?

Honestly, not much has changed. I still love blasters, but I also still play all sorts of other weapons for fun (or as a secondary for comp). I just wish range hadn’t been nerfed so hard so I could play it more in our comps
mfw I have more time on slosher than rapid :’(Even as a casual, I played a LOT of blaster

nobody in this community knows what “getting better” actually means, so all they wanna do is get into + servers or explain their skill with a div, which imo means legit NOTHING rn. Stop putting a title to ur skill and figure out how to win vs EVERYONE.

Range blaster: revert 9.0 nerfs (and maybe 200p kraken) Bow: 2nd ring charge 2-3 frames faster Decav: charge slash and melee hitboxes 5-7% thinner (that’s not really for balance it’s just a pet peeve of mine why is it so large) And then whatever other buffs to low tiers they want to do

Yeah that’s fair. My team tried double cooler recently and it feels absolutely awful, and the output is pretty not fantastic™️ on its own. I feel like Nintendo wouldn’t do a 20pfs buff though so it would probably be a while before we get 180

My dream patch would look something like WNTR pfs: 200 -> 180 Pencil range: splatterscope -> splat charger Pencil paint: 3-5% wider (to offset the paint loss) Machine endlag: revert nerf by 2-3 frames (to be a WNTR partner) Jetpack aoe: inside hitbox wider by 7-10% (for ballpoint & rapid) Cont

Apollo @apollothemarvelous.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
IMO, the moment winter rapid gets a pfs buff (prob 190, but hopefully 180) it’ll be good enough to at least compete with pencil. Like obviously pencil would still be better without a nerf, but the gap would be significantly smaller Although I think rapid’s potential partners might need buffs too

Genuine question: How can the CCA capture your attention and get your interest in our events? Splatoon community always talks about wanting consistent teams and the CCA is by far one of the best at having consistent brands by nature of collegiate esports, but sometimes numbers don't reflect that.

Been thinking about this a little longer, and I think slosher or s-blast are probably the best fits for this comp. They combo with bamboo and mint and they both provide good entry specials (plus the aoe is nice). Between them, I'd prefer s-blast (for burst) but with the patch nerfs idk which is best

Apollo @apollothemarvelous.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
As a rapid player, I really don’t love rapid with bamboo. Yes, the combos are nice, but they kinda occupy the same space and that really slows the comp down, which is the opposite of what a bamboo or rapid comp wants. I would much rather have something like vdualie or if you want double cooler zgal

That being said, I know some other modes kinda suck at top level due to certain aspects of map and special design and the optimal game plans that come with that, but I would at least like to see one other mode being played

I really don’t enjoy zones only because the objective is really boring. Knockouts don’t feel satisfying at all, and the idea of “hold this position for a minute and a half” is not exactly the kind of riveting gameplay that I’m looking for as a viewer.

Apollo @apollothemarvelous.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
Been thinking about these three and I think crab dread is probably the best option here. The paint is the most important thing, but dread’s combos with sword and rapid make it a really solid pick here imo Plus the range and aoe are also really nice, and crab has a lot of synergy with rapid comps

Sometimes dying is worth it, and sometimes it’s unavoidable, but imo the hero play is almost never the correct play and it’s often just better to stay alive and help your team

Apollo @apollothemarvelous.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
Even if you’re just putting paint on the ground and/or throwing bombs, that still slows down the other team, while dying just lets the other team walk into your side of the map uncontested
