I forgot to mention the matches I was locked in were all ones where the boss salmonid spawning rng kept fucking spawning the bosses that you have to stop everything your doing and hit a small part in a very specific small time window at a very specific angle before they become immune to all attacks the next 20 seconds. The blaster exploit seems to no longer work, at least it didn't when me and my rando my teammates tried it. Fuck flyfish, and fuck steelheads and drizzlers even though they're a lot less of a pain in the ass to deal with due to their invulnerability times. REALLY fuck the change they made where the egg stealers fly now I didn't really realize how much of a shitty addition that was till the fucking big run matches. Before they used to spawn only when you left the eggs down for a while and could only steal 2 at a time, but now in splatoon 3 they start fucking rapidly zipping in the second the things hit the ground now and have no limit to the amount they can pile up. They're manageable, though it sucks having to fucking keep stopping your gameplay just to go after one of those fuckers before it immediately flies off with the eggs cause you were too busy fending off 5 steelheads and flyfish that randomly spawned in. Rinse and repeat and you get caught in a loop where everyone is constantly struggling to even get the fucking eggs to the god damn basket and 20 to 30 eggs are just lying around waiting to get picked up.
