Splatoon So how do you feel about rainmaker mode so far?

[Beleated_Media]

Although I thought it was a cool new mode (similar to capture the flag, which I love), I don't really like it that much due to how hectic (well splatoon is hectic but I feel that this is just crazy) the entire mode is. Mainly due to the shield taking about 3 seconds or so the break, allowing for opponents to easily kill you off.

What do you think about it so far?

it's fun, but feels a bit unpolished when you compare it to stuff like turf war

I like how hectic it is but I agree about the shield thing

I've died quite a few times just trying to break it ;-;

I quite like it so far, mainly because it's so hectic! It's pretty hard to win, though, especially if you're up against a team of higher rank.

It's so hard. I really have a hard time using the inkzooka special already, and everyone trying to splat you while trying to mow them down with it all while on a time limit is so impossible for me like wow lol

 

[Lancelot]

I love it omg

 

[samsquared]

I've gotten a lot better at it since last night, lol.

I like the mode since it lets me make more use of my awesomeness with the Inkzooka zel. The dang golden belongs-on-a-temple Fishgun is basically a power-based Inkzooka with less range and more AoE. I have a high tendency to get at least one or two people every time I Inkzooka, so the mode fits me well.
Also, it's the one mode where you can get in the enemy team's face as a legitimate high-level strategy, so melee weapons (which I tend to be good with) are better in it.

I love rainmaker! Sometimes the shield around it can be a pain though...

 

[Rasha]

depends on the level. I really liked it on camp trigger fish but found it disastrous on blackbelly scatepark

It's better than towers and I love it. Honestly the only thing I hate is how ridiculously close to the opponent's spawn you have to get on some of the maps to provide enough defense for the rainmaker to get to the tower. Saltspray rig is pretty bad.

love it, its kinda fun keeping the rainmaker for 60 seconds just to waste time and have your team keep on killing the other team so they cant get it

Oh, God, the chaos of Saltspray Rig.

There's such a high chance for the enemy team to get to your base easily when there's 40 seconds left..so now I've noticed that the winning teams are taking the rain maker to the big box area up north and they just protect it much easier there until the remaining time runs out xD


Rain maker is fun (best mode next to TC), just wish more people were available for private battles so I can play it without being too competitive.

Oh, yes, I just noticed that part: If only I stayed at my base instead of jumping down I could have stopped that last second advance.

By the way, in regards to this topic, I absolutely love this mode, and I feel more confident using my now favorite Inkbrush in it than in Tower Control.
