Most Annoying Things in Splatoon 2

I love this game, but there are some annoyances that are absolutely worth making a Top Ten List about.
The Top Ten
Incompetent teammates
Squidbaggers

You never think it's that bad until it happens, and then you hate it.

Laggy players
Unstable connection

This should be #1. This happens to me all the time! Right now, I'm on level 81, and I would have been five levels higher if this idiotic screen of death wouldn't appear.

Yes, I agree. But paying to play online just kind of sucks the fun out of it. Nintendo, if you're reading this, please make a change because I love the Switch, but Switch Online just ruins it.

Come on, Nintendo! If you are going to make us pay for online play now, I should be able to expect a stable connection!

Being against a really good sniper

Sniper matchups usually depend on your weapon and movement skill. If you aren't good at dealing with snipers, try to do something else while staying out of their line of sight. Once you have a significant numbers advantage, you can overwhelm them by going in with a teammate. Just be careful not to get charger PTSD.

I've only beaten one of those snipers ONCE, and I'm at level 36!

You're pretty much guaranteed to lose if there is a really good sniper on the opposing team.

People who only choose a Splatfest side because Marina is on that side

Only Marina's team gets the points for most votes in every Splatfest. The Splatfests are rigged, but Pearl's team suddenly wins at the end of the Splatfest.

The least popular side is usually the winner, so I do not see why everyone goes for Marina.

Squid Parties on regular battles

Feel free to squid party in Private Battles, but NOWHERE ELSE PLEASE!

Feel free to do so in Private Battles, BUT NOWHERE ELSE PLEASE!

When you're doing really well one round but you lose anyway because of bad teammates

Oh, you went 22 splats and 9 Inkjet activations in Rainmaker? Well, sucks to be you, because your team had two chargers and a disconnect.

Very true. I mean, really, they should match us with people our level instead of having us matched with level 1s, 2s, etc. I mean, come on! I hate having them on my team because they lose all the time. And it's annoying when a level 1 doesn't even know how to shoot.

Instant death when superjumping to a teammate

If you die from that, it's your fault for not paying attention to the map. Never jump to a teammate surrounded by enemy ink - unless you have a Splashdown.

Literally the equivalent of puppy guarding is getting splatted by an opponent who knows you're coming. I friggin' hate that!

It's supposed to happen, but it's still annoying. Use Stealth Jump.

Pearl and Marina's unskippable intro comes up every single time you boot up the game

Okay, Pearl and Marina are awesome, but the fact that I can't skip the map announcements is so annoying. I just want to play some single-player games.

The moment I hated the most in Splatoon 1, of course, they had to reintroduce it in Splatoon 2 and Animal Crossing. Really, Nintendo, it would have been more tolerable if this part were optional and not at every single boot.

The Newcomers

? Bloblobber mains

I swear, every time I'm up against someone with a Bloblobber, I get splatted instantly.

I guess I have to fight Bloblobber with Bloblobber now in hopes of having a fair game.

Bloblobber users are the scum of the Earth. I refuse to use it because of how blatantly overpowered it is.

? Dynamo Rollers

I remember when Dynamo Rollers were useless back in Splatoon. They used to be REALLY SLOW at flinging ink, but they became a little faster in Splatoon 2.

Why did Nintendo have to buff them if they were already overpowered?!

It's really powerful in terms of how much ink it splats, but I hate how it takes so long for it to START. INK. THE. DAMN. FLOOR!

What's worse is that you run out of ink too quickly. That makes sense, but seriously, what.

The Contenders
Bad Salmon Run coworkers

Bad Salmon Run coworkers are so irritating. I hate it when I have to respawn everyone.

Teammates who won't carry their weight in Ranked Battles
Being really far away from an explosion that kills you anyway
Some weapons have an unfair advantage over others

I swear, every time I get splatted by someone, it's either by a roller or a Bloblobber. Chill out on the weapons, man.

You can only play Salmon Run at certain times
N'Zap users everywhere

It's probably the most popular weapon, and even I use it a lot. Be happy that Kensa Rapid Blasters aren't this popular, because since S-rank, those things have literally become my sleep paralysis demons. If it bothers you that much, just use literally anything with a longer range than it.

There is practically no way to win against an entire team of Roller-type weapons

Unless you also have a roller team or can defeat four rollers surrounding you without a problem, pray you can win because this type of team is usually a living hell.

Activating the Inkjet is suicide

Whenever I activate this Special Weapon, Brush mains always take me down as soon as I do it.

You've got to move a lot more or lure your enemies. Being the target isn't always a bad thing.

Using the Ballpoint Splatling with the Inkjet, you have to have great reflexes if you want to stay in the air. And when you land, you have a backlining weapon in the front lines, so...

Being against someone who's really good with the Splat Roller

Rollers, in general, are a great advantage when on your team, but when you're up against someone good with the roller, well, that is a whole other story.

Almost every Turf War match has a teammate that disconnects

Especially as soon as the game starts. This happened to me yesterday, and I was frustrated about that.

Chargers on Turf Wars

It's impossible to ink a lot of turf if there is a good sniper on the other team, and half of my losses in Turf Wars are from having incompetent sniper wannabes on my team.

Weapons with excessive range
Blasters

Every time, someone with a regular Blaster (the slow-shooting kind) gets me while I try to escape from them.

Splashdown kinda sucks
When your teammates aren't there when you need them the most

Some ditch your team at the last minute, as soon as the battle starts. Even in Salmon Run.
