Man, you guys are right, it's super loving satisfying to get the slam in rainmaker. Kelp Dome rainmaker is pretty intense--a match can be over in moments if you know what you're doing.

The biggest challenge of Rainmaker for me so far is figuring out the path to take once you have it. Also, it's just generally a foreign concept in Splatoon to want to go towards the enemy base. I feel like I have to learn the stages all over again.

Yeah, I said a while back how weird it is whenever you made it to the enemy side of the map because even though most maps have both sides layed out the same, it just looks and feels different once you're actually on their turf.

Two seconds before winning a Rainmaker match my internet just decides to poo poo itself.  Love this mode, but I sure don't love going from B+ 57 to B 50Commited offensive acts: let bad guys burst the bubble first in kelp dome, killed all of them with a flick of my roller, took the rainmaker, calmly hopped my way through the railing on the left and made my way to the spot for a slam dunk. Match was like thirty seconds long.

I had a guy in my room who just stood in spawn yelling booyah and c'mon and ended the match with 73 points. We just barely lost despite that but man why you gotta ruin the game for others dude?

Can someone write a few words on Rainmaker, because I think I'm not "getting it" or something - I almost always lose and it's just not any fun at all and it's just tanking my rank hard. Almost every time I get the rainmaker, I either die instantly or before I can get close to making progress. Whenever someone else on my team grabs it I do my best to cover them, but it usually is just the two of us against the entire enemy team so it never really ends well.

I love when I get into rainmaker matches and my team thinks instead of capping it "lemme try to get a sweet k/d bro  "Literally cleared the way, got rid of all 4 guys and had a teammate just standing around with it charging it.

The worst is when someone on your team grabs the Rainmaker in the initial skirmish for it, then retreats into your base because oh no there's enemies and dies. Second worst is when the enemy is coming with the Rainmaker and your entire team bunches up together trying to stop the guy with the giant instakill bazooka.

Whenever someone else on my team grabs it I do my best to cover them, but it usually is just the two of us against the entire enemy team so it never really ends well. Here a few Tips. 1. Try the Echolocator it help tell which path is safer to take. 2. Push as hard as you can even if there very little ink to swim. There have been matches where I had to jump from ink puddle to ink puddle to get to the goal. 3 Try throwing bombs at the Rainmaker after the enemy just broke the shield. It will keep them from getting it or splat anyone holding or near the Rainmaker. 4. Try to retreat when you have the Rainmaker and there no safe path forwarded. 5. Remember that if you are holding the Rainmaker you walk and swim slower. 6. Try taking out squids when they at busy try to shot the shield. They're trying to bank that the shield will brake and get you. That all I can think of right now, hopefully this helps.

Rainmaker when both sides are primarily Rollers is basically the Splatoon equivalent of a slap-fight. More than most modes you really want one Roller tops on your Rainmaker team. I wish the matchmaking had a way of taking that intro account.

I'll add the Rainmaker os a weapon of last resort. Don't shoot it lest you have to. Always be swimming for the goal whenever you can.

Turf war wins by a landslide, because the people who would rather play ranked are doing so in private lobbies instead of taking part in splatfest

I think that what the inkstike is to splat zones, and the killer wail is to tower control, the inkzuka is to rainmaker. It's pretty much a guaranteed kill on the guy carrying rainmaker and anyone else nearby from twice the range the rainmaker can reach.

Rainmaker requires a lot of map awareness that I think just comes with time. Actually looking at the map during your many deaths helps with this. Otherwise you just have to learn where to expect people given their load out

Tetracube posted:Rainmaker on Saltspray Rig is hell. So far I think the most annoying stuff is other players not knowing what new paths are open in different ranked mode. Saltspray can be over ridiculously quickly, but some people try to take like the meandering tower control route. It will probably be much better in a few days/cycles of it.

Did they nerf the .52 gal damage? I've been in firefights where I get off close to 8 hits but still wind up dying to half as many shots from a splash-o-matic

Here's what I think is right so far: 1. If your team mate has the rain maker, go slightly ahead, carve them a path in your color, and splat like a motherfucker. A dead squidkid can't get the rain maker. 2. If you have the rain maker, your K/D no longer matters. You're a squid now, race to the loving goal as fast as you can manage. If your team mates aren't assholes, they'll take care of the killing. If you must use the rain maker, use it to make lanes. Basically, it's not an inkzooka, rear end in a top hat, so don't treat it like one

Does anyone else feel like the skatepark has been in the turf wars rotation a lot lately? Maybe it's confirmation bias but it seems like I spend a looooot of time there, which is unfortunate because it's not my favorite map.
