Honestly I have no idea why this game so damn unbalanced. The previous iteration was also released on the switch and lasted around 5 or so years before Splatoon 3 was released so they had plenty of notes on how to keep the balance OK and make the game enjoyable.
The maps are all terrible and just has the focus on the middle which frankly feels just like a cheap out. The difference in inkable turf between Splatoon 3 maps and Splat2&1 maps is ridiculously large, and also just doesn’t offer enough variety.
And while I do enjoy the catalogue, I feel as though the catalogue level has completely skewed matchmaking balances since you’re no longer really matching with people around the same player level, and that filling out the catalogue is quite tedious and redundant. Turf war doesn’t exactly feel fun anymore especially during Splatfests, unfortunately.
