I Ranked EVERY Splatoon 2 Map + Mode Combo... 

I WAS WAY TOO NICE HERE IS A FIXED VERSION: twitter.com/ProChara/status/1703847136142807468

F Tier = “Fun”, and Nintendo knows this because these map/modes are literally always in rotation 😐

Some stats: X - 8 maps S - 8 maps A - 18 maps B - 10 maps C - 10 maps D - 22 maps F - 16 maps Overall (Average) grade for splatoon 2 map selection: B perecentage of "playable" maps (B or above) = 47.8% 14 out of the 23 stages have at least one playable mode: Ancho-v-games Piranha Pit Mako Mart The Reef Sturgeon shipyard Manta Maria Starfish mainstage Skipper Pavilion Blackbelly skatepark New Albacore hotel Humpback pump track Snapper Canal Inkblot art academy Shellendorf institute No. of times a mode has appaered in B tier or higher: Rainmaker: 7 (Lowest) Tower control: 10 Clam Blitz: 10 Splat Zones: 17 (Highest)

Best is easily camp triggerfish tower control. Nothing even comes close to that perfection.

In S3 stages shouldn't have to be designed fully for evey mode but there should be a pb setting that allows you to play on every map mode combo

Its amazing how good Splatoon 2 is considering how terrible it is. Most the maps are trash. Map rotation is trash. Online match making is trash. X rank power is trash. There are a ton of bad things in this game that need to be fixed and i still love it and cant stop playing it. Imagine if the game had good maps and the online worked

Hear me out, in comp I understand when a tier list like this makes sense. I understand when you definitely don’t want to play with these maps when they are in rotation. Though in soloq I always enjoy playing arowana clams because I always perform good. I think that maps you like better, you will play better. At least that’s how it is for me and I understand everyone is different

the only thing i really disagree on is clams moray because the spawn is so far away from the basket that it becomes impossible to play it without beacons, the clams are very close to mid and the basket which encourages camping, and there’s nowhere to run in case of any special whatsoever at least that’s my experience with it in solo q

You know a map-mode is trash when you completely rely on missiles and ray to do anything, and generally when one team can make the objective unapproachable Also awesome video, i had little to no complains, all things said make perfect sense and couldn't agree more

Babe wake up prochara just posted

Rainmaker reef is either last for 5 minuets and is a game of stalling, or it ends in one push. Very few things here can really ALWAYS apply to soloque, but this is one of them.

I now have a maplist for the Worst Ever Tournament Thanks Chara

i get why theyre hated, but walleye and arowana will probably always be my favorite maps just for nostalgia(also hoping saltspray comes back for 3 because its another one of my favorites, i love the claustrophobic maps)

Video idea: take the third kits from each weapon in both games and make it a big "would you rather" video. Ex/ Splatoon 1 Bamboo Mk3 vs Splatoon 2 Bamboo Mk3, Berry Splattershot Pro vs Kensa Splattershot Pro, etc

5:31 I would Wahoo a lot more if it was like this in all modes

Honestly, as someone who almost exclusively plays turf war, I’d love to hear those opinions on it, good or bad. If you’ve already done that, sorry, I’m sure someone will leave a link.

How about ranking all the songs too? might be a stretch because there are quite a few songs, but i'd love to see it! Anyone else out there want to see it🤔

splatoon 1 map/modes tier list sounds cool since the maps in splatoon 1 are so much more dynamic than in 2

Ink armor is more trouble than it's worth on triggerfish tower control cause even the teeniest tiniest explosion will send you hurtling off the tower because of the recoil 🤦‍♂

i'd definitely like to see this for splat 1 map/modes as well

there’s something about piranha pit rainmaker that i just love, it feels so different and so similar at the same time. also the old spawn areas just being pointless turf feels neat

Most of what I’m upset about here is because I’m nostalgic for splat 1 stages but main stage clams I think is pretty good. You have multiple options to get to the basket, mid fights have varied angles… I like it.

when I first played Splatoon 2 at launch, the first thing that came to my mind was: "why are the maps so small?" thats the issue, the whole map is just a small path to mid, and thats awful.

I personally really like arowana mall, not because it's fun to play or well designed, but because it's real nice for practicing my snipes.

It's so nice to hear a detailed explanation/opinion on why the maps/modes I've always strongly disliked are actually bad! Very refreshing. (really hoping walleye doesn't come back, at least without an overhaul)

I think some maps could be gimmiky to spice things up and get interesting situation to adapt to. Said that, gimmick doesn't mean good maps. For skill competitiveness, you need balanced map and fairness. Gimmick can be good to spice things up, makes stuff random, interesting or a cool situation to try to adapt to, but randomness ins't fair and isn't balanced. I hope in splatoon 3, they make a better job in making things both interesting and FAIR at the same time (really hard to do).

The way chara is in S Tier and still roasting these stages lmao. Tells you about the quality of S2 maps.

I find Port Clams and Rain to be a dumb kinda fun personally. Also I can't any Zones map, in general really, but especially those that have two zones on them. I hate them so much and I usually don't play zones at all when it's on for soloq, but especially if a map I really hate also has two zones I just won't play it I hate it so much

I personally would put Inkademy RM in F because the RM carrier going up top when the other team has the lead is so hard of a throw that it shouldn't be possible.

"this maps not garbage, but its still not okay, or good, not even meh, but its still not garbage"

Favorite map/mode is skipper zones.

Skipper Pavillion and Goby Arena are my two least favorite maps Goby is just so damn cramped and if you Solo Q, getting mid control back once you've lost it isn't going to happen because it requires too much coordination and the map is so small that your teammates will end up getting picked off when approaching center. Skipper sucks because the map is huge, segregated, and once you take mid theres so many defensive positions that again, its almost impossible to retake without a considerable amount of team coordination, which just isn't going to happen in Solo Q.

Yes pls I'd love to see this for Splatoon 1, I never had a Wii U so I never played it but I'm massively interested in the game, and I love to find out about it's history and meta and stuff. Any videos like that discussing Splatoon 1 are heavily enjoyed by me!!

Splatoon stages needs more.... S T A I R S

Just wanna say I like shellendorf institute, it's cozy and I like the glass ceiling

I’m starting to get the feeling ProChara hates Splatoon 2

Mako Mart and manta Maria are my favorite maps so I’m really happy with their placements :D

Aight hot take: SALTSPRAY clams would be better than skipper clams. With the Crain and the concept inrtoduced by skipper, would be cool.

You found me. I am the one and only person in the entire universe that likes Kelp Dome. Congratulations, here I am.

Please dev team… please make Splatoon 3 maps dedicated to only one game mode so that they bring out the best of each mode. Quality over quantity! It would even give them more time and resources to be able to make new stages rather than modifying each stage to accommodate 5(+) game modes.

Since Splatoon 3 is chaos I'd love to see that moray has kind of collapsed a bit and isn't as tall anymore, maybe they had to do renovations?

Splatoon 3 needs a new ability called Jump+ or Jump Boost or something where it increases your jump height and distance it could also be used to increase the distance of a squid surge or maybe even a dualie roll Posting this until Nintendo sees

I wish you would put one of those images for all the stage layouts on there cause I don't remember any of the stages they're all the same

i think bro likes splat zones

I actually prefer port tower to zones, defending feels very fun and attacking can be very intense

I actually really like pit tower

I also like humpback rainmaker

Funny how some of the worse maps in the game are gr8 for tent lol, such as triggerfish, port, arowana and walleye(clams), Also speaking of triggerfish zones, ik it has many flaws, but i absolutely love it's gimmick of having to split your team in two and push zones in duos, i fucking love that

Rainmaker on kelp dome is honestly where kelp dome becomes a good stage but the stage itself still sucks especially on zones and good luck trying to be a charger on that map

When will you make more splatoon 3 content? Or will you host a tournament Sion?

I like Tower Controller on Pavilion, but I am a charger player, it could be the reason. 😉 For Moray Tower I play only a beacon weapon. I just hate it to fall down, it's soooooo damn slow!

Wait, what's the problem with the tower "moving away from spawn?" Is it because you would have to move a longer distance when you get splatted or something?

Zones + Sturgeon is probably my favorite combo.

Musselforge Fitness makes me lose my soul whenever i see it

*_my eyes_*

humpback is living hell for me, especially clams and towers

Camp triggerfish rainmaker is SO bad. Unless you have stingray, you can just corner yourself and make a push once the opposing team is dead. So stupid

Manta is probably my favorite map, very cool

little did they know how spoiled they were. Splat 3 maps somehow worse.

I love walleye clams because camping under the ledge where the basket is is so easy. I play Luna btw uwu

Hey, don't diss my boy Walleye, it's not all THAT bad. It's the smallest, tightest, most commital and fastest-paced map in the game, you have to either win or not-lose the rollout if you don't want to just straight lose, and you have to chose which one you go with beforehand and stick with it because otherwise you, again, lose. Love me a good rollout, and "lockdown" aka built-in lose condition just makes another attempt at a more successful rollout come quicker. In a game where you can't have something that can charge a special in literally 8 seconds and walk into pristine mid with it it's a great Zones map. Unfortunately you can have a 8-second special and can farm further past that fishing for an easy wipe, even with Walleye's tiny size. And it also has Goby's one mode syndrome because everything else goes through a hellish choke (though at least in CB basket is in the choke so you can disengage quickly). Goby not-Zones are possibly the least playable maps overall, they are completely dysfunctional. Worse than Arowana I'd say. Arowana RM and TC are at least functional-ish before reaching the courtyard choke (and can be reasonably kept from ever reaching it) and CB plat isn't even THAT bad (just bad), while Goby's death cage is literally 1 second walking distance from the center of the map. Arowana is still F-tier but Goby is even F-er.

It says a lot that in the Splatoon 1 list, anything above C tier is at least okay, and in the Splatoon 2 list it takes S-tier to get to the same point of quality. On the other hand, Splatoon 1 also had some map/modes that are genuinely worse than anything Splatoon 2 did.

I can't tell what the maps are the pictures are too small.

We were lucky b*st*rds before splatoon 3

Zons Triggerfish is like B for comp but F in SoloQ, it's legit unplayable

Manta hurts my head

I like how no one adds an e teir.

Not sure if you've made a video on this before, but I'd be interested to hear your opinion on what makes a "good" stage in more detail.

Ayy this finally got uploaded! Still disappointed about your camp zones placement…

s1 map mode tier list would b fun

What do you mean at 9:55? I’m a little confused by how one side would have an advantage

Oh wow I thought everything was gonna be F teir for a while

as always va11 music 👍 and solid list

goated outro

My dav us pit zones, I love it but pit is my fav map and zones is my dav mode so yeah its kinda obvious. I didnt know that comp people like it.

aka, chara shows how ray makes most TC and RM maps unplayable

Yeah I'd like splatoon 1 map modes. Maybe post the list in the description as well.

0:07 I wonder if this is why I cannot pick a favorite map in Splatoon 2 for the life of me. I play exclusively Turf Wars, and I don't really have any opinion on any of them (okay, maybe a few bad ones on Inkblot cuz of a few bad memories), so I guess the reason is that they're all mediocre to begin with.

finally

Wait why do you think all turf war lay outs suck? Like there's not a single good one. Do you just not like turf? Or is it the reason that you explained in your other video about how just all splatoon 2 maps kind of suck

6:08 Unfortunately rainmaker mako is exactly the same in splatoon 3 😞

Tbh I don't hate any of the map/mode combinations except for camp zones. Never playing that again.

kelp zones bottom tier for me, that thing is impossible to paint and typically whoever gets the zone first wins

W list tbh

i'd move all of mako mart down but i just hate the map especially on clams

Could ya please link the whole pic in the description?

I’m sorry but Clams Piranha pit is the most based take I’ve ever heard, I love the video though

No we need a G tier for camp splat zones I hate that stage

I respect that u like piranha clams but I really don't pls its actual garbage why is it allowed in tourney

Even though turf war isn’t listed on here, walleye turf is by far the worst map/mode combination in splat 1 or splat 2.

Okay but why is walleyes werehouse is called ''Encrepot'' in french i just searched it up

Clam moray towers 1v1 and only bamboo is pain to play lol no mpu

I genuinely hate pit clams Idk why but I just cant play on it

I disagree on blackbelly zones and RM It's feels like aids to move in center let alone fight. Making it more Viable to throw a bomb at your feet and dance around that trying to aim in those cramped spaces. The spawn area is ok. (I'm aware that my problems are fixed by positioning better but I want to have more options to move than going ontop of the center tower or poking from the side.) edit: everything A tier or bellow is ass to play on (except ancho but that may be more of me being a L3 and squeezer player) also manta zones. still the fact that only 16-20 of the 92 map modes are remotely fun to play on is dumb.

I’m a tetra main in X rank in all modes except clam blitz but I am s+7

*over half of the map modes are c tier or below*

never have I clicked a video so fast

Blackbelly zones and Inkblot zones A.K.A "Long range backliner on mid=win" the maps. Really? Those are D tier at best.

Everytime I PLAY ranked I get 99% of the time the maps from F to C And thats why im hardstuxk S+0 and S+4
