Editing with a 102 fever and body aches and throwing up every 45 minutes is so much fun, 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people say that if you’re good enough, the server or environment doesn’t matter you’ll eventually get noticed and end up playing with strong players. I used to believe that too. Im pretty sure I can go back to my 2023 VODs and find myself saying mid-level players were just making excuses and they are terrible entitled players lmao.
But after talking and playing with so many people, my perspective has changed. Yes, outliers will rise very quickly some players are just that good and improve at a crazy pace. But not everyone develops that way. At higher levels, growth often depends a lot on opportunities, and who you’re able to practice with consistently (or if you can play Japan x rank at their time zones+fast queue times) .
First impressions also carry a lot of weight. If you don’t immediately perform, people tend to label you as β€œnot good” and often ignore your improvement over time. The current competitive enviorment just doesn't facilitate growth overtime at all. And while it’s true that some people blame the system instead of putting in the work, that’s not something that should be applied for everyone.
What I’d really like to see is a healthier community path for improving players, back in S2 solo queue wasn't that big of a factor at least for me, you could grind tournaments, scrims, colo etc and it was very easy to set a clear path for your growth without worrying about result culture or getting dodged. You only really got blacklisted if you proved time and time again you just weren't cut out for your current level. Overtime I'm starting to understand why everyone gets so heated about +server etc. It's just not fun to play in the current community environment for comp and I hope eventually people will be a bit more opened minded to making the current comp environment more enjoyable instead of just "God I earned my way up here they can do it too I'm so good and they aren't ego ego ego ego 🀬🀬"

To the people saying oh the + server is inactive anyways so voting doesn't matter and no one should care. Try asking yourself why it's inactive and the answers may shock you 😱😱 (this is irrelevant to my thoughts below) #compsplatoon

"This update was intended to focus on bug fixes, but some multiplayer balance changes that were planned for inclusion in a future update were inadvertently made in this update as well.

As these were changes that were planned – even though they were planned for a later update – we will leave them in the game.

For the Rapid Blaster, we’ve increased the radius of the ink spray coverage so that it’s easier for players to take advantage of the fact that maintaining enough distance from the opponent is key when using this weapon.

For the Rapid Blaster Pro, we’ve increased ink consumption to increase the need for players to carefully aim each shot.

Other multiplayer balance changes will be made in the next update."

Here is Nintendo's official explanation of what happened in 11.0.1 and their justification for the Rapid Blaster and Rapid Blaster Pro changes.

STOP DOING MATH meme used for midlevel comp splatoon

text reads:
STOP BEING MIDLEVEL
- PLAYERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN DIVS
- YEARS OF PLUS SERVERS YET NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going higer than LOW INK
- Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "SWIM OR SINK"
- "Yes please give me a good SQ power. Please give me a good result" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what the midlevels have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the sendouq & weeklies we built for them
(This is REAL midlevel, done by REAL midlevel players):

Just got out of Iron Lung, all and all I’d rate it a 4.5/10. Really bad thriller, pacing was awful, story and lore was hard to follow even as someone who’s played the game, just really not worth your time tbh. It wasn’t even funny bad, just bad bad

Overall patch thoughts:
Aura is cool but doesn't change very much overall
Health bars are so nice
Dynamo is real and will be a staple in dapple comps
Blaster is busted lmfao
WRapid, NTri and Edit are all real cooler options again

Overall good patch, hoping for more in the next one

With LCS just over the horizon, and more LANs popping up all over the world, 2026 seems to have 1 trend for competitive Splatoon - to get together and play the game we love. Join @splatdroid.bsky.social as he covers it all in The Weekly Ink!

Anchors also feel more scary rather then less, a lot of good weapons right now are stationary in human form and all of them get hit easier now. I think thats worth the harder to hit squid form if the set of top tiers don't change.
Dynamo + Bow and triN + liter are both very good now i think.
