recently been playing splat 1, and Mahi is an entirely different stage in comparison. there’s so many islands, mid is huge and has some really good extensions on each side and there’s little secret spots like the small ramped grating area near spawn that opens up when the water drops and an isolated island that acts as both decent cover and a high ground. i faced top level JP E-liters but at the same time there was so much cover and incredible approach options that i could just avoid them entirely

Yeah seriously why did they have to ruin every single stage?? There used to be stages I was actually excited for when I saw them, but now in 3 the best I can do is hope for one of the few stages that aren't terrible.

Personally I think they simplified the map design for newer players. There's only ONE way you have to push, and only ONE way you have to defend from. You don't have to think about people flanking you 90% of the time because they physically can't. It's really sad, but I feel this is the best explanation besides the devs wanting to sabotage their own game or not knowing how their own game works. I hope they learn that it's okay to add depth to where you go and defend, even if it makes it slightly more confusing for new players.

Unfortunately, if that's the case, then it's severely backfiring, since these simple maps hurt newer/ less experienced players more than veterans. For an example: Chargers are a high skill weapon to use, and are currently one of the most oppressive weapons in splat 3, due to the poor map design. If the maps had flanks, then newer players could more easily get around the charger without being spotted, and could even attempt to contest them with a flank. Without flanks, they just have to basically stop playing the game, until they get their special, and hope it can displace the charger long enough to push back.

Stuff like Saltspray Rig and Skipper Pavillion are really fun because they use the required reflection in a different way than most. I also personally like stages that utilize varying heights and elevation, like Moray Towers or Flounder Heights(which I'm excited is coming back). I also love stages that give a whole smorgasbord of path options, like Kelp Dome and Camp Triggerfish. On the other hand though, stages with designated large open areas like Blackbelly Skatepark and Piranha Pit are really fun too. To be honest, I feel like the outline of a stage has less to do with its enjoyability. I think what they do with the idea and how they make it unique is what matters most.

Personally, I liked the respawn domes from Splatoon 2 because then at least you had some form of invincibility (ink can’t pierce through it) and could still farm for special if the enemy was in your turf. Now in Splatoon 3, you’re forced out of your spawn if you want to shoot/do anything, which, while there IS armor, still makes you prone to essentially getting splatted all the time if you’re not careful.

As a Nautilus main I 100% agree. I used both kits in different modes in 2 and while I'm excited for 79, I never saw 47 as bad and when I saw it has storm instead of baller I actually popped off because I legit really like storm.

I mained Gold Naut in Splat2 (behind Grim) and while I was disappointed that its current Splat3 kit is less aggressive, I've grown to love it and it has great uses. Not a huge fan of point sensor on it, though it does have its uses, but inkstorm is really nice for naut!

I think splash down was better from a utility perspective. it was the anti special, special. It could delete bombs which reef can't, bubbles, kill baller, kill stamp, kill inkjet,kill booyah, and it's wide fall off hitbox meant it could break multiple armors. Reef has utility against certain specials like crab, bubble, inkjet, stamp (unless you wiff and they throw it at you), booyah, and a vacuum who won't move. But not breaking bombs means unless you get a team wipe your going to die. Not to mention splashdown was it's cheapest at 110 sp and would refund you like all of your special if you die mid use. Plus I haven't checked the frame data but I feel like reef has a longer start up until you get your I-frames. The opponent can see the max length of the track in bright colors meaning even if you come from a flank a player with good reactions will still move and the further away you use the more time they have to react. In summary they are both mid tbh.

I have played on both the attacking and defending teams of tricolor, and I find that a way to somewhat balance it is to either completely remove or severely reduce the time reduction per ultra signal attempt (if you even touch the ultra signal, the time to claim in will be reduced next time you touch it). In exchange, the amount of time it takes to claim the ultra signal is reduced. This would force attackers to push as a team rather than constantly making independent and random attempts at the ultra signal and eventually getting it.

I’m only mid-ish level, but I play elitre scope and gloogas, so I’m talking from the perspective as both the attacker and the attackee-more flanks would be very needed, the last take is right imo. I don’t think burst bomb would change super a lot about elitre, it would just allow it to push up harder and engage more in the actual battle instead of sitting back, as well as providing a defensive option in case of attacks, plus there’s no damage up so it absolutely would Not be as bad as s1. More flanks would def help open up counterplay and make matches more balanced overall hopefully this all made sense, im not super great at articulating aha

Better sub, better ink efficiency, better paint, and doesn’t have to worry about online screwing with their shield timing game nearly as much. The advantages splat brella has is being able to sustain itself against serious focus fire, and a more reliable kill. You could of course chock it down to a skill issue, it’s just *HOW* much higher is splat brella’s potential exactly? And who’s to say people are taking advantage of the (admittedly few) strengths of the undercover to their fullest yet either? Both suck ass of course still, but undercover is my beloved

Hot take: the complaint about e-liters dominating is only REALLY true at high level Splatoon where e-liters don't miss their shots and most of the people who complain about it on reddit and in the comments are people who are bad at positioning and being aggressive in the correct way to punish back-liners who aren't reliably hitting them. And I'm not a pro, so this applies to me too, I'm just self-aware that I could be doing better.

Yeah im pretty sure the splashdown v reef slider guy used the reef slider like the splashdown…. Which gets you killed a lot faster then splashdown

Splashdown would be way better if it stayed in the air way less. So only .5 to 1.5 seconds once at peak height of using the special giving it less time to be shot down and quicker reaction time to shoot it down, as well as a tiny bit of armor while it's going up and loses all damage dealt to the user before activating it and it can only get killed at the peak of its height when using it. As well as losing said armor when you reach the peak so it isn't busted. Like being able to cancel reefslider before it starts moving, but right before it goes down to hit the ground and can't be killed once it starts to go down.

This is so epic! At 2:30 you splatted me (the flingza), so I'm practically the main character. ;) Thanks for the amazing videos!

I fully agree with the Undertow and Hagglefish changes you suggested. Those are my two favorite maps in the game rn because of how well-designed they are right out of the gate. Just one little tweak on each of them and they'd be peak stage design.

I actually completely agree with your e-liter take. As an inkbrush main, believe it or not. In every past game I have found the e-liter to be healthy for it and led to some really cool duels when we were both the carries on each team. However, right now I pretty much pray the enemy team doesn’t have one because I don’t have any answer to it and am forced to give up aggressive space against it. I just need cover to work with.

Tenta Missiles seem 20 billion times more annoying and absolutely more rage-inducing than they did in Splatoon 2. I say we replace it. (This is coming from someone who does like to use Tenta Missiles, but hasn't much at all in Splatoon 3). And better map designs in general... with my personal picks being: Mahi-Mahi Resort: Would be 10x more interesting if it resembled the old map but with a better spawn (long spawn is slow, current spawn is... bland) and bigger mid + some nice flank routes that *almost* reach the other spawn but don't (as to not be *too* OP). Hagglefish Market: Generally for me it's a 9/10 stage. The flank routes are actually quite nice when you use them not-so-obviously. A bit of tweaking could add even more fun to it! Undertow Spillway: One of my favorite stages right now, it's so chaotic and just AWESOME. A third flank would be nice though. Not sure if I like the "open glass" idea at the top. But a third route nonetheless would be nice. Hammerhead Bridge: I actually like the new Hammerhead, but I wish they had a few more grates just for fun! Also a right flank into mid would be helpful... Flounder Heights: PLEASE OH PLEASE JUST LET ME BE A SNEAKY NINJA PLEASE SPLATOON DON'T REMOVE THE AWESOME RIGHT-SIDE WALL FLANK IT WAS BEAUTIFUL IN SPLATOON ONE 😭

I just hate chargers. They completely change how you should play during the match and just stand there sniping. Worse yet, basically every charger player is good at their weapon even at lower skill matches where many players are sloppy with other weapons. They never miss easy shots, and they know at least 2 techniques on how to keep the laser hidden like keeping it under a ledge or just straight up doing a 180 and do suprise kills.

I kinda wish that we could have turf wars on the Clam/Rainmaker version of the maps, and what would most likely be an unpopular opinion, I think that the Rainmaker Mahi-Mahi map would make a good Turf War map, I just really like the open feel from it over the more cramped and linier feel from the current turf war version.

One of my takes is reefslider is better than zipcaster mainly because zip doesn't last long enough to move properly to flanks most of the time

I feel that if armor and splash down get brought back they would need reworks (so I decided to share my ideas) Splash down: now pulls up your mini map and gives you a big radius (think 2-3x the size of wave breaker) and allows you to super jump anywhere within the radius. Upon landing the super jump (which id say would be about 1.5 seconds) a big splash down (prob out 50% bigger than 2’s splash) and have less recovery time For ink armor it may still have its activation time but I’m thinking it no longer chains to teammates and now gives 100 extra armor to the person who casts it (also less knock back atleast from attacks that don’t break the armor) or if you wanted to add some depth it could chain to a teammate giving 25 of its hp to a close by teammate (such as 1’s bubbler)

You mentioned Splatoon 1's bubbler, so I'm sure you're aware that it sounds basically like you want the regular bubbler back. The Splashdown idea though really just sounds like Splatoon 1's Inkstrike, but you are the missile instead. I'd be down if Splashdown worked like that tbh since it would still give you a risk (as compared to Splatoon 1's Inkstrike where you could launch it from spawn and be completely safe), but I don't think Ink Armor would be good in any form tbh. The big reason why invincibility and armor-based specials were removed from Splatoon 3 is that it can completely ruin weapons with low damage output's ability to splat enemies. For example, a weapon with low damage (say 25 dmg per hit) would now have to hit 6 shots instead of 4 to kill because of armor's 30hp. Specials like the Splatoon 1 Bubbler and Kraken can't be killed, basically forcing you to run away due to your inability to protect yourself from them. The Baller in 2 was partially invincible, but it had health and knockback, so you could still counter it, and they can't shot you while in the baller. Splatoon 3 is actually really nice in terms of most of the specials because support specials don't offer the same invincibility that older specials had, letting the lower damage/support weapons not be completely outclassed. Big Bubbler gives you an area of temporary invincibility, but can be countered by destroying the shield or entering the shield and attacking from within. Some specials still give you armor, but they can still be countered or avoided, and most of those force you to give up your movement (like some parts of Reefslider and most of Booya Bomb). I'm rambling, but here's the TL;DR: Ink Armor just isn't really healthy for the game regardless of implementation. Ink Armor alone changes how competitively viable some weapons are due to how it changes the shots required to splat opponents. Armor still exists in the game in certain scenarios, but letting people activate armor at any time can make it hard for weapons to stand a chance against them. The Splashdown idea could work, but Ink Armor should stay as a part of respawning and certain specials instead of being a thing usable wherever and whenever.

I agree with your hot take about liter it would be a lot more fun someone showed up behind me any point on any stage and one thing I want to add about why this game is faster is no waiting for armor

can we get a short mincemeat metalworks analysis? i don't really understand why people don't like that stage; i think it's decently fun and well designed.

I feel like people would probably say it's a waste of tickets but I'd like it if they added a stamper with basic wiper kit and vice versa, i feel like burst bomb on wiper would help with its faster playstyle

While it might not be the same in competitive I don't think shooters are healthy right now still. Even if they have counterplay now seeing 6 shooters in every open lobby I see is getting real tiring and doesn't make it feel that much different from 2. They could easily be toned down and still be good, they were fine until they were overbuffed in 2. Edit: especially when it's all splattershot, splash, 52. Weapons that were also everywhere in 2.

@@matthewjones6786 There's also a wide variety of shooters so anyone can find a specific shooter that works with their playstyle well.

My issue with Splatoon 3 maps is a lot of them feel similar to me. They seem like really standardized e sport maps with almost a moba like design to them.

My favorite 4d chess move is throwing the rain maker in the direction the opponent is going in as it limits how fast they can push

Regarding the missles in shooter take. I feel like it doesn’t even really matter what shooter it would be, it’d outdo every other current missle weapon and I just hope we don’t see a shooter with missles… even though they’ll probably do it at some point

@dylantoney6971

Eh, flingza already has fantastic burst paint. So the shooter would need SOME variety of excellent upside. They give it to a gal (52 OR 96), splattershot, or jet its all over though

Hot Take: Sloshing Machine would still be broken with better maps. Booyah Bomb as a panic special is genuinly awful, and the fact that a weapon with that range can easily 2-shot is broken.

E-liter with splat bomb That was a pain to deal with Then again in splatoon 3 there isn't any "damage up" but still a pain I believe

Point sensor is a good sub rn because of all the ninja squid in the game.

Not sure if you will see this but I am wondering why you think only splash and jr are the only good shooters rn? What about the splattershot? Imo it’s a strong option since zooka is a good special and suction bomb is one of the best subs in the game. It’s allows you to be more aggressive if you need in your comp.

wait, i’m confused and never actually played much splatoon until after the toni kensa update. does nintendo actually make changes and tweaks to the maps? i’ve never seen this happen

My hot take: Splatoon 2 & 3 maps feel like the cut down small, feature removed portable DS/PS Vita versions of a full console game by comparison to 1. While Splatoon portable is a literal dream come true for me and I am more than willing to take these compromises I wish we had much larger maps in general, more map variety and more unique fun map gimmicks like Splatoon 1. I feel like we have partially betrayed one of Splatoon's core principles/promises for/to ultra casual players of allowing them to contribute to the fight painting unoccupied areas and fight over contesting multiple varried objectives, flank roots and taking more 1v1 duels in favor of 2&3s team fight heavy cramped map playstyle that pushes everyone mid. Versuses maps like Bluefin Depot that were extremely interesting and fun for mid level players to flank around on and salt spray rig which was a blast for casual play with all the interesting map areas even if it wasn't a good fit in ranked

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but to me, a big part of why burst litre was so strong was the strength of iss, and even more than that the strength of damage up. Even if you didn't ohko with your partial, you could just toss a burst to finish the job for you. I get that it helps with movement and stuff but honestly I can't see how it would help for getting kills in this game.

I don't think Splashdown is better than Reefslider in PvP, but I do think it was way better in Salmon Run, especially against Glowflies. Really wish it was in the new special pool still.

I only saw the thumbnail but I want splashdown back so bad man, i get that people say its bad but i love it. I was also stomping in high rank tower control with clear dapps in spoon 2 so either im a god (im definitely not) or splashdown didn’t get the love it deserved

I just wish there were better flanks on maps. Sure on the defensive side you have another route to worry about, but it’s better to have more options rather than a charger shutting down the only entry on the stage

My hot take: the hydra isn’t as good as people say it is. Trust me, i main hydra, and you still get constantly forced to move via tenta missiles and ink storm, and tri-zooka basically hard counters it.

New Mahi Mahi is a good map. I just feel that it being a completely different map than Mahi Mahi is the problem. Just change the name, so that the original one still has a chance to return.

I find it fascinating that so many players assume E-Liters to be broken. Either my luck is crazy, or over 90% of the people I've seen use the weapon, have the aim of a person with Parkinson's disease. Literally they're dead weight to any comp they're in, and that goes for all charger players I see. Encountering a good charger player is more rare than winning the lottery, I swear

You must have the crazy luck then. Cuz I tend to run into good chargers a lot (unless they're on my team then they can't shoot for their life for some reason)

“Blob isn’t good” Ok… good to know the weapon I hate with every fiber of my being is bad. And therefore I’m probably bad.. Ok I already knew that. But Sloshing Machine and Blob have earned a place on my shitlist due to a series of matches I played where my wifi had very brief moments of being *slightly* touchy… which mean projectiles that didn’t touch me made me explode. Is this partially the fault of my wifi at the time? Yes. Did the salt flowing through my veins still contest salt water? *Yep!*

Hopefully they will fix mahi mahi. Maybe they could say something like “a bunch of pranksters destroyed the stage so they have to fix it” or sum. I know that was a pretty bad excuse but it’s not what’s important

I actually like the new maps but I can see room for improvement. Hopefully it gets the improvement people are looking for.

I like that they apparently didn’t put flounder heights in a damn blender and stich it back together with the worst decisions possible

One of my problems with rollers(splat specifically) and gals is that one, the 52. Gal is a 2-shot high fire rate weapon, with just enough spread to almost always hit you. And the roller can just cancel out any other close range weapon with the bubbler, if people wanted to they could just camp a rainmaker with splatter shot jr.s. The thing about explosher for me is that if an explosher hits you it will put ink around you most likely causing you to get stuck only to get again and die. With the sloshing machine I have seen some of the most crazy hit boxes ever, there was a moment where a sloshing machine literally hit me through a solid wall when I was on one side of the wall and he hit the OPPOSITE side. Now for specials specifically, the ultra stamp can counter any other special. I personally think that the ink vac is one of the most balanced specials for support players. It can counter things like missles or booyah bombs and even control a area. Other specials like reefslider just feel really annoying, and this might just be me but when a reefslider is anywhere near me it will either oneshot me or just put me at no hl afterwards. Specials like booyah bomb and killer wail 5.1 really only annoy me and only end up making me move from an area. It DOES become a problem in modes like tower control though. Most other weapons seem pretty fair and adaptable, some weapons even just let me have fun like the stamper.

Feel free to hunt me down, but Mahi is actually a really fun and well-designed map. Very few stages in this game have gimmicks that change the way you have to play, and Mahi excels at giving players hurdles to jump over. It's not only fun, but the shift also gives you more places to flank, shield, and claim ground. My only complaint is how pathetically tiny the stage can be before the water levels change, but even then it's still an interesting and strategic bout where you have to chart movement carefully. (But I will say that Tower on Mahi is an absolute abomination, it SUCKS.)

Splatoon 3 Mahi Mahi is a disgrace to humanity but it’s still better than Camp Triggerfish.

Omg poor Arashi when getting missiled-

Obligatory liter secondary goblin chime in. Yeah give us more flank routes. Please let 2.0 add more damn routes. The only reason I’ve yet to receive any death threats over playing liter is because I’m not active about it on Twitter, and also that… well… nobody knows that I exist. Which is fine tbh. But if you give us more flank routes, for the love of god give us a sub or special that can be used for self defense. Ink mine does not even come close to cutting it. Give us splat/burst bombs, or even just curling bombs.

i started to main Nautilus, while i think it could have a better kit, i actually like how point sensor and rain synergize with it, pair it with thermal ink and you get a ton of fall off kills

Mad respect for using Battle of Blizzard Bridge that song goes so hard

I think the reason Nintendo has such poor map design in S3 is the same reason the network connectivity is worse in S3 than S2. S3 pushes the Switch to its limits, so there aren't spare CPU cycles to handle larger maps, or network hiccups. Particularly when one of the Switches is effectively the server for a given match, while at the same time actively being a client and rendering a 3D battlefield, etc.

maybe this is a hot take in itself but the maps are the biggest problem in splatoon 3 right now, tenta missiles are annoying and should be changed, but ive never had another time in any splatoon game where there are literally time slots i do not wanna play during because every mode has a map i hate to the point id rather touch grass than chance playing on it

Please no, dear god no, not the burst bomb e liter, never the burst bomb e liter!!!!! 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰 **intense Splatoon 1 PTSD**

my main problem with tenta missiles is that it takes too long, I just think it's boring to play as and irritating to play against I'd like if the missile count got cut in half, range is reduced, but the missiles go slightly faster and movement when firing missiles is expanded upon, make it a more close range option compared to a killer wail

I think reefslider and splashdown are pretty similar in how good they are.Reefslider has good mobility and splashdown has a quick and easy explosion while not being forced to go to a certain spot. I prefer splashdown though (atleast when i play tetras)

They should fuse Beakons and Inkmine. You can put up to 3 Beakons(you can jump to them and see people nearby). Buy if someone destroy the Beakon, it can cause a little bit of damage and track the person who broke it, for 5 seconds

Burst bomb on liter in splatoon 1 was substantially worse because they costed cheaper, meaning with some sub saver you could throw 4 on a full tank. Also, liter had echolocator, effectively giving liter the ability to throw 4 bombs, pop special, throw 4 more. Without that, liter with burst I think could actually be well balanced.

I actually agree on the E-liter bit, and dont even think it would be too annoying to fight against even without experience vs an E-liter who has 300 or so hours of experience.

I have a potential hot take of my own. The Hydra's hate is undeserved. The reason why I bring it up, is I saw a plaza post saying "Hydra mains dni" (dni means do not interact, I legit had to look it up on google). I only main Hydra because: A. I can't seem to main any other weapons(besides the ones everyone else uses). And B. Twas' my main from S2

People asked for chargers to be overpowered again .

I completely agree on your take that burst elites would be fine on maps with good flanks

Honestly, as much as it can be agreed on that Reefslider is a better Special, I honestly do miss Splashdown and think it could've at least been made better instead of removing from online play, especially in Salmon Run.

Not really a hot take, just an idea. It would be cool if they used Big Run as an in universe excuse to make more drastic changes to the maps. "Oh the salmonids destroyed this route on Wahoo, here's 2 new ones while it 'gets fixed' ".
