GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

pants are overrated

Third for autism

C- clam play is actually fucken HARD

For a second I thought youknowwho drew this.

...

...

what a shitty op picture

so, this new mode is baisically quidditch

...

what if your yebby put his dicc in a clam

>quidditch
You had one job user.

Post yfw you realize that Clam Blitz on Moray has the same layout as old Moray Splat Zones

What if your woomy out their dick in a clam

>mfw the Squid Sisters personally announce their return in-game during the concert

fuck
totally calling it squidditch from now on

I thought you could kill people with the football if you threw it at them

...

I wasn't expecting the connection quality to be so bad at times, made it from c- to b- so it'll probably improve a little but I don't understand how some people play with this latency.

That's gay

Is this her long lost borther?

Splatoon has no dedicated servers. If connection is shit, it's most likely shit on your end.

Anyone else waiting for all of the good players to rank up in Clam Blitz before playing it?

I know there isnt but Ive never experienced some of this sort of latency going on since the first game and its gotten instantly better as you climb the ranks each time.
Its also easy to tell its not me this time from watching the teleporting players reaction to the other stuff around them.

I jumped from C- to B- and will probably stay there because fuck that noise

I can't believe I'm having fun on moray for once.

>not playing the mode while it's still casual

I'm playing right now to get up to S+ ez.

I love Marina's sweater puppies!!

>ona has been in memphis for 4 days now
those fucks are planning to raid my home arnt they

or worse yet using it

fuck what if one of them took it?

Those few matches were anything but casual
Then again I was sleep-deprived, I dunno

Which one did you order?

>no one picks up the fucking counter attack clam
I'm going to go insane

Rollers are fun, right guys

I like them

Wanting to play with the shitters who can't even leave C rank or get stuck in B

I might keep it as --- forever.

Pearl is getting Reaction Images potential, huh

>Some mong gets the football and does literally nothing with it

That kept happening to me. Fuck, it's too bad there's nothing you can do about that.

>Respawning
>Look at Map
>Dropped Clam Ball is there, about to disappear.
>Team member is way too close to the ball.
>Ignores it
>Ball Disappears

I main Krakon. Once got 21 kills on turf war with it.

There needs to be a new callout "Pass it here!" so that you can spam it at idiots who don't know how to play

>oh hi manmenmi

>tfw you have to deliver the football youself as a charger because your team is full of 50 IQ squids

Not how it works. If it's shit on their end it's shit for you too with regards to them. If it was dedicated servers it'd be your fault.

Someone play Clam League with me. I'll go aggro Krakon, place beakons, and protect you while you get clams.

dang that's pretty high like S+50 IQ

Sshh! The more players we convince to sort out their internet the less laggy shitters we get!

Clam is hella stressful it's like Rainmaker only worse. Everyone has to bring their A game and no one can be carried or go Rambo. I suppose if you're good at killing and someone is willing to score then maybe you can do it with just 2 good players but it'd be hard

I find myself being unable to play long range like blasters and chargers in clam blitz because my teammates always let me down. I'll get a double or triple kill and no one will shoot at the basket. Then I have to wipe out the team again and then go to the basket myself.

I can't play now, but I'll friend you for the future

I love Clam Blitz to be honest. It is alot like RM which is my favorite mode. Really gets the heart pounding unlike modes like Zones which are piss easy.

Easy, don't go all in when you are sure none of your homies will score. Predict your teammates' actions, it's not that hard.

starving woomies
woomies with hunger pains
malnourished woomies

fat woomy season

Most of the time, my team is doing fuck all. I think a lot of people don't understand that you don't need to make a clam to shoot into the open basket. The basket is open with the enemy teams still respawning and they won't even look at it.

OCTOLING SEASON

Dang. Any others want some clams?

So who's the greatest clam blitz player of all time, Roe Montana?

Me.

my woomy

John Shellway

>Clam Blitz with Inkbrush

Still looking?

QUIT USING INKBRUSH, YOU FUCKS. YOU'RE DEAD WEIGHT

Hello time traveler, why did you go to shitty 2015 instead of some good year?

>relying on the inkbrush crutch

Yep

Sent. Duo or is there enough for a team?

>Clam Blitz with baller

what if your woomy ate a bird she caught

bird too big for she got damn mouth

Need one more, lobby made.

Is brella dead after the nerf?

>charger levels with a motherfucking brush
How do i escape this hell and who thought it's a cool idea

3/4 Clam League
Kelp Dome & The Reef

Coming

Nice.

The only thing that could kill the brella is a HP nerf to the shield otherwise it's here to stay

Fuck, guess I'll hop off brush, since having more than one is absolute shit

I like how both Inkbrush sets are good for Clam Blitz

>Default
>Splat Bombs for zoning or cornering.
>Splashdown to defend.

>Noveau
>Ink Mines to snitch opponents.
>Baller to get to the basket and kill squids for extra clams.

>won my first Clam game
Nice

>Clam Blitz
I have no idea what I'm doing

Play some defense. You going solo on an offensive mission where you just get killed isn't helping at all

Ever lose a game so badly you assumed someone disconnected, only to face the harsh reality that everyone in your team was just anus

>tfw defend on my spaltling and no one even tries to push

It's the first days, not even S+150s know what they are doing. Give it a week so people can get some understanding of the mode.

touching a woomy

I’ll switch to Octo and be goalie this time

Good job Dane and Justin. Sorry I'm underperforming on kills. I'm playing longrange, which I never do, but we need some defense/support, and my brush role is taken

John Shellway is a Kelp Domebaby

You can take brush, I’m gonna act as defender with the octo

Completely right. We each have our roles. I have no idea what I'm doing yet and am just aggroing

Na, I'm having fun with bucket, and we need a weapon with some range. thank though

>Superjump to 3 of my teammates
>None of them protect my jump point
>Push on and let me instasplat to 1-2 of the enemy team
>Proceed to get flanked by them and die

Literally just stand there for 5 fucking seconds

Shameful, isn't it?
On one hand it pushes me to get better, on the other hand I wonder if it was ever possible to carry that team.

Hey fuck you. I tried to be Mr. Defense but no one knows how to attack

Completely right. We each have our roles. I have no idea what I'm doing yet and am just aggroing
