Splatoon Over 20 Level System

Hope everyone is enjoying the new Splatoon 2.0!  Just wanted to talk about the over 20 level system.  Nintendo has made some interesting changes by completely redesigning leveling.   Points are now awarded in a Splatfest like manner with a win in Turf War netting you 3 point and inking 400p of turf 2 points. (200p gets you 1 point)  Ranked mode is also a different system with each minute your team lasts giving you 1 point (up to five munites) and victory giving you 3 points.  Knockouts are still the best giving the winning team 10 points.

Now this system isn't bad, it just takes some getting use to.  Getting to level 20 just requires you to play the game and turf ink.  Since all weapons are unlocked at level 20 it makes sense for a change of pace.  Level 20 - 50 feels like the game shifts to a more skill oriented system making victories count for more over just inking turf.   Victories are very helpful in leveling up because they almost double your experience gained.  I can expect to see the majority of 20 and over players in ranked mode since the highest rewards are there.  If you last five minutes you gain as many points as a turf war.  Now the under 20 group will shy away from ranked mode for leveling as a defeat still nets you little to no experience.

See you all in Ranked Mode!
