    Splatoon 3 has map modes, most suck, some are ok, a few are even good. Today I ranked all of them (besides turf war because turf layouts are usually just worse zones layouts).

      Yeah, safe to say, Splatoon 3 utterly did drop the ball on map design. Pretty much every hope we had for splatoon 3 to write the wrongs of splatoon 2's maps were dashed. They clearly doubled down on the worst aspect's of Splatoon 2's map design and made them worse by 3 fold. they brought back the best Splatoon 1 maps but missed the point with each of these maps (Even flounders have some options taken away)
      And the fact that these maps were better in beta/early trailers just adds insult to injury, we were robbed.
      "Casualisation" is the best way I can describe what's happening with Splatoon 3's maps and how bare bones they are.
      To go down a grade and a half from previous installments is an embarrassment plain and simple. Why can't they just stop pretending to be afraid of making these maps more complex? When will they start showing more support for the gimmicks, movement options and gameplay features this game offers yet doesn't utilize as much as we hoped? Only time will tell.

    At this point I think if the devs did a file rip from S1 for all four stages from that game, rushed a clams layout and altered the spawn regions for the new spawn system, the game would be better because it would have four consistently great maps on all modes. Chuck in some lore about Manta Maria crashing into Hammerhead bridge and forcing it back under construction, and we'd be golden.

    figured i’d check because i was curious
    average ranking for splatoon 3 maps: E tier
    average ranking for splatoon 2 maps: high D tier
    average ranking for splatoon 1 maps: high D tier
    however, if you shuffle Mahi and Hammerhead-the two maps they completely remade for splatoon 3 so they basically count as new maps at this point-over from splatoon 1 to splatoon 3, the average for Spl1 shoots up all the way to A tier. Splatoon 3 goes down only slightly and stays E tier.
    the difference between splatoon 3 and splatoon 1/2 doesnt sound that big but keep in mind how bottom-heavy this tier list is. the difference from high D to mid E is notably big

  • @drageoksllechtim2078
    @drageoksllechtim2078 Před rokem +3

    I agree with most of the list but I don’t get why mahi and museum zones are so high. Like mahi after the water drops is good but until then it’s just as cramped and impossible to navigate as all the other modes, with literally 2 pieces of cover. Museum on the other hand does make it relatively easy to get back into mid from spawn, but the middle spinner gives the attackers a big advantage even if someone does flank, and the only realistic way to retreat most of the time is into a corner surrounded by uninkable walls. And I think the way the spinner spokes interact with the camera is really annoying in general

    I remember in an older video of yours, you mentioned that tower control could be a lot better if they had a cannon on top of the tower, like the ones you can use in Salmon Run Cohock Charge. I think that would be a great idea, instead of the annoying passive special charge on that mode. I really wish Nintendo would do something amazing like that, but I’m sure they won’t because that’s just the world we Splatoon fans live in.

      @gavinshryoc5034 Před rokem +5

      Part of the problem is that offense gets a huge advantage because instead of being able to slowly push out the attackers, defense either has to commit to dropping from spawn and likely get picked or continue to be passive and wait for the objective to come far enough that they can make a desperate shove at stopping it.

    Not having paintable walls will always be a confusing thing to me, as the paintable walls are basically why they’re squids and octopuses respectively. During the creation of Splatoon 1 they didn’t know what to do with the walls, and they hadn’t figured out what species they would be yet. Eventually when they landed on squids the paintable wall issue was fixed! But now.. Most of the time there is no paintable walls. Did they just forget one of the selling points???

    Mincemeat Rainmaker and Tower control deserve more credit honestly, both modes have multiple flank options for both the attacking and defending teams, the defending team can actually retreat easily (including an extra sponge in tower control), and there are actual options for rainmaker pushes instead of just a single route like so many other stages have. It really is just mid that is terrible for being dominated by long ranged weapons, but I would prefer this stages mid over something like moray towers. Its not great, but for these two modes on this stage it is MILES ahead of something like Hammerhead Zones, Manta Maria Rainmaker, or Scorch Gorge Tower Control.
