I need to draw up a Goofus and Gallant on using the elevators in Salmon Run, gently caress me. Even when it's not me being left behind, 2/3 people with eggs will be on the elevator and the other person will just blast it up.

Rainmaker is hard because it requires a LOT of coordination and people need to be on the same page of where to go. If your team has a good idea of the best spots to invade from you generally have a chance. Moray towers is so bad because the best spot is going up the side of a tower but so many teams have a doofus that insists on using the splat rail where the enemy team has a easy kill lines up because you have nowhere to go.

How about this one? Goofus complains about his salmon run teammates but gallant inks the sides of the elevators before the round starts.

Gallant is an idiot for assuming that the inked elevators won't get ruined by stingers and maws splashing ink on them.

Yup, we'll just ink the sides of the lift, no problem. As it's descending. And you may have a Charger or Roller. And a shitload of Salmonids trying to either crawl up your rear end with frying pans or shoot you.

But sometimes the enemy all go one way and you grab the rainmaker and just go the other and get an instawin which is maybe the greatest own you can deliver itg

Even if you ink the sides, you still have to hit the wheel because the elevator needs to be at full height for you to get off of it.

Look behind you.

Are there team mates coming to the elevator? If yes, wait for them.
Are they loitering or not paying attention? Then raise it without them.

Just use your eyes. Its not hard. Elevator problems occur when some idiot raises the elevator right before someone can jump onto it and then they get smeared against the wall by a steel eel.

I mean if they're near you and they've got an egg then you should wait like 3 seconds at least to see if they're headed your way. It's not particularly difficult.

3 seconds is longer than it takes the elevator to go up and then down again

If they're headed toward the elevator, just wait a bit for them to get on if they're not too far away. Only reason to raise it earlier is if you're going to die or fail the round if you don't.

Again, the problem isn't the time it takes for the elevator to come back down usually. Wasting a small amount of time usually isn't an issue. The problem is when you raise the elevator right before someone can jump on it and then they get smashed against it by the angry fish right behind them. By the time the elevator drops back down they are dead, and if you had just looked behind you and waited a second for them they would have been fine.

VVV saw maws score a triple kill thanks to the elevator once

Or if there's a flyfish, multiple people crowded on a small platform doesnt end well there.

:same: Funny, that’s what I look like playing Salmon Run.

Speaking of which, holy cow my run tonight had to have been about 90% high tide (and one nail biting fog-filled low tide on round 3). We were barely scraping by or wiping in round three thru a good ten games.

Decided to play one last Salmon Run today while waiting on food. I'm just going to start blocking people who run off during Glowflies, if it's the Roller, I'll report them too. Go be garbage in someone else's game.

It doesn't feel super different from A ranks except for the longer queue times.

I do go on a loss streak when I hit S or a super long loss streak if I go past the OK line in S so I'm in A+ more often than not...
