Hey, we're getting ver.

Hey, it's filled with nerfs for the few weapons I'm having any sort of success or fun with!

Special Point changes
------------------------------------
Explosher Deco: 180 - 190
Hydra Custom: 180 - 190
Ballpoint Nouveau: 190 - 200
Ranked Mode Changes
-------------------------------------
+When making teams in X Rank, there will be two new metrics applied
1) Players with Crown ranks will not be as likely to be on the same team
2) Shooter or Roller class weapons will not be as likely to be grouped on the same team (Not saying shooters will not be paired with rollers, but saying that it should be less likely for a team of three rollers on one team or three shooters on the same team. Three is just a number I picked, no mention of it in notes)
And then loads of bugfixes for everything else.
Finally got the good Ballpoint in the last fucking weapon batch like they forgot they ever added the damn thing, nerf it! Finally got a good Splattershot Jr, nerf it and nerf it again!
Between this patch of nerfs and seeing Smash Ultimate's patch notes are going to continue the bullshit "Stuff was changed, figure out what yourself you worthless scum!", I'm feeling really defeated right now...
I haven't even gotten a single drink ticket or chunks for Main Power up and I've played every session of Salmon Run this month.
