August Update Balance Patch


Got a lot of things to talk about today with the August Update.  Splatoon will receive its second balance patch along with the added content on the 5th.  One obvious update is to Urchin Underpass but there are a few more stage changes as well.  These include changes to maps like Saltspray Rig and Kelp Dome to fix issues with Ranked Mode.  Also some special weapons like the Eco-locator are having there charge rates changed to balance them out.  Now to my favorite changes.   A few abilities will also experience a balance patch.  Tenacity will now be activated from the start of a battle if your team has fewer players and not after you started inking.  This is something I enjoy because Tenacity is my go to headgear ability.   Finally the most important change is happening to Splatfest.   The result adding system is getting changed so Splatfests no longer are just a popularity contest.   Win percentage from battles will be multiplied by 4 in the end.  This means that battles are going to be very important in decided the upcoming American and European Splatfest as less popular teams now have greater hope that their battle skill can actually make a difference.
