They really, really need to do something about flyfish.
Make bombs cost less ink, give them larger bins, keep the bins open longer before attacking. Something.

Flyfish aren't the problem, the issue is pubbies loving ignoring them.

I find the issue is the opposite. 3 people stare at the thing waiting for it to open, only to be swamped from all sides while doing so. Only sometimes when they survive do they actually land the bombs they throw.
The stingray towers are actually the thing that people ignore and then go on murder sprees.

I often don't have enough ink to throw a bomb because I'm shooting all the trash my team mates are busy ignoring

I just got a round 3 grillers while I had the charger. I was doing surprisingly well with my shots but noone bothered with the smallfry and I died repeatedly. Two of the guns we have are totally perfect for the smallfry why are you letting them run around

Not if it hurts when it goes over the umbrella.
It also doesn't mean much if it cant secure kills, which may be a giant problem.
This also assumes that the umbrella user is aware of the bucket user and has the time to face him and set up blocking.

Back in Splatoon 1, they were more or less three weeks apart, so by my estimates it should be around the 26th of August if we're following traditions.

This is the truth, those bins are guaranteed to open when I am being swamped and do not have enough ink to throw a bomb

This was me in tower control yesterday. They are past checkpoint 2, why are 2 of you painting the other side of the map!!!!

Also, in rainmaker an aerospray user on my team spent whole match stood on the goal near our spawn.... Do you not realise that if the other team get this far they will just splat you and your weapon which sucks at combat. Also, what a boring way to play. We won despite him though.

I also love it when you are helping the rainmaker carrier by making a path, no enemies ahead, looking good. Then you see 'you lost the rainmaker' as the rainmaker carrier has decided to run back to the center of the map where everyone is fighting and get splatted.

I think it was musselforge fitness that I saw this happen, I am B rank so I do see some crazy happenings...

It's just annoying because it is hard to get and keep the rainmaker when you are essentially a team of 3 vs. 4.

The worst thing I saw was someone in my team put a beacon on our own spawn point, WHY??

Moray Towers is an utter trainwreck dominated by Chargers, or anything that can dump ink into the middle ground really, and has been since it was introduced. It's even worse in Splatoon 2, because for some inane reason the Splat Zones are both in prime Charger-spam no-man's-land.

I had a TC match where I singlehandedly wiped out the enemy team like 3 times over and rode the tower to like 5 points, and still lost by knockout because my bumblefuck team members were off in random corners of the map instead of helping me kill the enemy and stop the tower.

If you're letting chargers dictate the pace, you're doing it wrong. You need to flush them out asap, with specials if need be.
