SPLATOON 2 MULTIPLAYER PATCH
TL DR Small rant about how I really want Nintendo to fix online, so that everybody can easily just have a good time. Splatoon 2 got a patch today, and like most multiplayer shooters, the changes it introduces are the usual incremental boosts, nerfs and balances to weapons and the like.

If you want Splatoon 2 to succeed, fix the online. As somebody who doesn't get to see my friends very often, I just want to have a good time on a great Nintendo system and right now I just can't do that because of the quality of the Nintendo Online setup. Nintendo, you guys are supposed to be the king of fun and good multiplayer! I love the Switch, I love Splatoon 2, I love everything about Nintendo, except for the online! This is an open letter and I hope somebody on the dev team at Nintendo gets the chance to read this. I've never had more trouble with getting into an online match and just having fun with my friends than I have with this game. Sony has been doing it for over 10 years, Microsoft has been doing it for 15. Nintendo, this is 2017, please stop being afraid of a proper online setup. Half of the time we were disconnected, (I think this runs on a P2P network (though I'm not 100% sure)). Half of the time we weren't on the same team.

My friends and I tried so hard to simply join matches together. I don't have many friends that live near me anymore and because of that we connect through online gameplay. I love Splatoon 2, but Nintendo really needs to consider having dedicated servers. First post in a while on this sub, but I just want to talk briefly about my opinions on the multiplayer after the first day.
