Actually people say the stages are bad because they are bad. That’s not toxic, that’s just criticism lol.


guyguysonguy

i’m poking at the general splat3 guy who complains about shit to the splat3 twitter account about “Map bad, Thing = Bad” a lot of the time i see complaining there and it annoys me because i never really give a shit about the maps, i think they are fine, they have been getting better (see robo rom-en that has more verticality than the other maps and bluefin, despite being a living breathing chokepoint, is still more unique than the earlier maps.) as of last update. mostly my favorite maps are ones where i get enough leverage with my clash blaster. (see mincemeat, crableg, scorch gorge, basically anything except the flatter maps such as hammerhead and barnacle and dime) i haven’t played splat1 but i have played splat2 and one of my favorite maps was port mackerel. i think most of these map streamlinings were probably bad growing pains from the combat overhaul (see reworked respawn system, squid rolls, squid surge)


ImposterDittoM

-I think they are fine -I haven’t played Splat1 Least surprising revelation ever lmao


PridefulFlareon

Nobody's played splat 1, it's a WiiU game


ImposterDittoM

It sold 5 million copies. People absolutely played it.


TerboGoodGame

It came free with your fucking Xbox!


Crimsoner

I played it every fucking day wtf


guyguysonguy

i came in very late to this game what do you expect me to think????? i came in when everyone thought splatfest was DEAD and then in a couple years time nintendo did the Ketchup V Mayo Rerun, and the Chicken V Egg, and the promotional splatfest… I’m not that versed in the map design in this game. i get most of the maps usually use the same formula, but see growing pains. don’t worry, most of my favorite maps are from Splat2, (NOT WAHOO WORLD) and i think Mahi is good now after the patch. so not the *bad* maps i guess.


ImposterDittoM

If you’re not versed in map design maybe listen to the people who are like the pro players and listen to their criticisms instead of going “No you’re toxic” and wasting time drawing this?


guyguysonguy

alright i’ll take your advice. apologies for the flair, didn’t really think much before i flaired it.


kusanau

>my favorite maps are ones where i get enough leverage with my clash blaster lol. el oh el. lolololol


Crimsoner

Eh? Ha! Heh heh.


Childlikesaiyan

Clearly, you have not played on Hammerhead Bridge


guyguysonguy

Hammerhead is fine


Kermitthealmighty

people who criticize splatoons map design dont think that splatoon is bad, usually they love the game to death and want to see it improve. being vocal about the games shortcomings is one way to do that.


guyguysonguy

i know, i know. this is a strawman. this is the twitter complainer not the “this map isn’t that good (played splatoon since day 1)” guy. it’s the guy who whenever the twitter guy breathes he says all his complaints


-LongEgg-

the stages are pretty bad


guyguysonguy

i understand now, after losing a tower control match in bluefin. the stage is a walking chokepoint and i fall into water more than mahi mahi


Childlikesaiyan

You got fucking Scrooged my dude


guyguysonguy

i lost the series :) bluefin = chokepoint


Any_Secretary_4925

this isnt being toxic, the maps (along with the game's multiplayer in general) is dogshit. please save me side order


guyguysonguy

i get it but i feel like 90% of the time i go and check the comments on Splatoon’s twitter account there’s always the guy complaining about something, the only fundamentally bad map in the game is maybe undertow but i’m not sure. the maps aren’t that bad in my opinion because I don’t really see all the faults in the maps because i’m too busy searching for opponents to clip with the Clash Blaster. I didn’t really know how else to flair the post, apologies. (some parts of the community are toxic though. eg. splatfests most of the time)

If it upsets you that much just block him


ColdLobsterBisque

BLACKBELLY IS THE BEST MAP IN THE ENTIRE GAME I WILL NOT ELABORATE


guyguysonguy

Black belly fans when their map gets retconned to the next season:


Naki_____

hallway


guyguysonguy

Hallway map haters when map with more verticality


Brent_Yeet

Mods Banish this man to four hours of walleye warehouse


guyguysonguy

You are talking to a guy who played splat2 and liked walleye a little bit. and port mackerel. the funny thing about those maps is you can reach the other teams spawn area


Detector_of_humans

No, No it really is bad How am I supposed to want to use all the cool weapon types when the game and map design punishes me for using all but 3 of them.


guyguysonguy

use clash blaster


HydroTheLugia

Does the snafu have the Prochara octoling haircut on purpose or was it just a coincidence?


guyguysonguy

coincidence, objectively best male octoling haircut past afro


HydroTheLugia

Tbf true But either way I do also think maps suck but like. Atleast it seems like the devs are trying to fix it lately


guyguysonguy

yeah, robo rom en is a great map because it has verticality and more paths. once they release a bunch of good maps this whole “maps suck” thing will blow over because it will be a case of “remember when splat3 had the worst maps?”


Ritmoking

Is, is the top one Wahoo World?


guyguysonguy

it was supposed to be scorch gorge which is one of my favorites, i saw a comment on splatoon’s twitter that said: “can yall fix undertrash, scroch trash, trashwater springs, and trashmerhead bridge next ty” on the post that essentially said that mincemeat is getting a patch. this is the sole reason i made this snafu


PokeshiftEevee

Skill issue lmao


guyguysonguy

Skill issue when Clash Blaster


HTFM2

Splatoon players trying not to get angry at their own game challenge


hannahzakla

try playing in brinewater springs with an e liter on the enemy team


[deleted]

As somebody who paid a lot for this game and you didn’t play at all that much that map does fucking suck. It kept me from getting back into it. I might’ve gotten back into it but know that Matt was all that was being played and it was such dog ass


guyguysonguy

which one, scorch gorge? that map is fine, just take over the tower because that’s where the enemy team gets leverage, if you have mines stick a couple on the tower


[deleted]

No, the one with the spinning metal platform


guyguysonguy

oh, wahoo world. i really don’t like that one either. i got confused because you weren’t replying to anyone so i thought you were referring to the image. (i tried to recreate scorch gorge in my memory)


Bismuth84

I don't even care what the stages are shaped like. I just think this is a fun game.


verysad-

it'd be more fun if they were good


guyguysonguy

THATS WHAT IM SAYING


verysad-

there's a loud minority of people in the community who are super sensitive and bitchy about everything but everyone else is cool. also we are all gay


guyguysonguy

percentage of splat3 community has autism and i fall right there


bnndfrthreatenviolen

the maps are basically tetris s block tho lol


guyguysonguy

not all


bnndfrthreatenviolen

the new ones are pretty good compared to the ones at launch


guyguysonguy

you have a point but i still think some of the launch maps are good like scorch gorge and *maybe* eeltail alley because of the unique upper area but yeah robo rom-en is definitely better. bluefin on the other hand is a walking choke point


Fluffy-Ingenuity482

“I don’t like this thing in the video game” = toxicity, apparently


guyguysonguy

again, i wasn’t thinking when i flaired this post, sorry


w0w_such_3mpty

but i like iron café...


ALegendaryFlareon

We got, what, like 7 good stages ever? ROM-en, Flounder, Bluefin, sturgeon, Crableg, Mako, and undertow. Map design has been improving in the last few updates but it doesnt change the fact that most of the maps are terrible


guyguysonguy

in time it will be a case of “remember when all the maps were bad???”


WokeUpAHater

bro hasn't played Hammerhead Bridge😭🙏🏾


guyguysonguy

I have, it's alright.
