Posted August 7, 2017 I've added you ArtMediocre. There seems to have been an outcry from fans over the way the Spatfest was handled. Kotaku have a piece on it. http://kotaku.com/mayo-won-splatfest-but-some-splatoon-2-players-worry-t-1797572693 @Helmsly you played the original game a lot. We're Splatfests always like this, in the sense that you would get matched up against your own side? If so then I don't understand why fans are choosing now to start kicking off about it.

When there is a much more popular choice teams would inevitably play against each other. Happened plenty of times in the first game. My only guess at why there is so much outcry would be there are many more Westerners playing this time round and probably a lot of people playing for the first time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I don't get why you'd complain over this. It's anecessary evil.. Yeah, it's a bit disappointing to fight teammates, but the alternative is to wait forever until an opposing team becomes available. In the end it's just regular turfwar with some added flavour.

I remember it happening a few times, but like @Nicktendo said, it only really happened when one of the choices was far more popular then the other. I never had it happen as much as last nights Splatfest though, because the vast majority of my matches were Ketchup vs Ketchup throughout the 4 hours I was playing it. But yeah, the reason its getting more of a reaction now is probably because more westerners are playing this series now then ever before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2017 There's a simple solution... lie. Tell mr ketchup team that the opposing team are team mayo. Say I was playing, I was ketchup and I knew Helmsly was ketchup.. the game told me I was against mayo.. but.. but Helmsly is playing in the mayo team? and he see's me playing in the mayo team... hmm. So lie about the user names too. simple. If it really bothers people that much... so long as the game deals with the situation fairly, it doesn't really matter. Personally I enjoyed the my team vs my team battles... the pressure was off a bit, I could focus on trying out new tactics, exploring shortcuts or what ever. If it didn't work out no big problem! On a personal level it only matters if your team wins, that's where you make the biggest difference to your winnings. Anyway, maybe Nintendo can allow people to disable team vs team battles.. or maybe better explain the situation (I believe the first splatfest or two didn't allow this, leading to LOOOONG waiting times, so they put this system in, allowing people to up their rating even if they weren't directly contributing to the team winning%) I believe in splatoon they explained fairly clearly how team vs team battles worked in the context of the team win % as well as the players benefits... and also explained it was to avoid waiting... annnyway.

Posted August 7, 2017 How would anyone know? it's not like there is anything to differentiate the teams - team mayo and team ketchup have the same objectives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2017 And just keep it really quiet, not many people would need to know - it would be server side and if it got out just say it appears there was a glitch but fortunately it doesn't seem to have carried through to affect the final result, etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
