Playing Rainmaker is like playing an escort mission in some other video game. Complete with suicidal and illogical escortee AI.

It drives me insane but I keep playing it anyway because Im addicted to splatoon. It's probably my favorite mode in League though, due to how heavily dependent it is on good communication/coordination

Am I loving something up or do you actually have to Splashdunk yourself into the Flyfish's missile pods to break them? Which is possible approximately never. It's probably the only thing I haven't tried yet. Was it added in just to make people waste their specials trying to dunk the flying poo poo?

I haven't attempted it myself yet, but I think it means that you can destroy them from below with splashdown if the pods are open.

Using splashdown on top of maws looks extremely cool but leaves you extremely dead.

They did. They weren't happy with her role in it. Also that you can only see her again if you refight the final boss. (Or buy her amiibo.)

Is the online making GBS threads itself hard for anyone else right now? Every game I join dies with a communication error within like 30 seconds or less. Doesn't seem limited to Splatoon either, same thing is happening with the Arms Testpunch.
And I don't think it's my connection, because everything aside from the Switch is running fine, and I'm getting the same poo poo whether wired or wireless.

Only Rockenburg hat is the 18K Aviators. No idea if it has had bomb defense, but letting you know since the shades may not be fresh for you.

For turf war? It's it a 3 map rotation like a splatfest?

Nope, its just one of the two slots for the next 24 hours at least, possibly for the whole weekend. The schedule doesn't go further than that.

Makes sense that they want to give everyone a chance to try it out but they should have expanded it to 3 like they already do with splatfests. Unless the map is REALLY good it's gonna get old pretty quickly.

At least it's showing up sparingly in ranked, which is good. I wanna play like 4 hours on it on turf war before trying out ranked modes anyway

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
They should map one of the unused buttons to a voice line that says "Stand on the Tower!" so I can buy a turbo controller and hold down that button one hundred percent of the time

Yeah, although it's usually only worth it when the other team is wiped out becuse having a bunch of people on the tower is easy pickings

Just fought my way back into A- in splatzones earlier after making it there previously and immediately getting knocked back down. The skill jump from B to A is pretty big it seems. I was consistently doing well, but losing. Teams definitely seem to be way more coordinated than in the B ranks.

Seeing a lot less players with regular kid names (read: Zack, Aiden, Xavier, etc) up there as well. Hyperbole I know, but I generally find that being teamed up with a regular ole name basically stacks the round against you.
