    I had a game where someone ran straight at the rainmaker, died to the opening pop, and instantly disconnected.

    Inkblot is probably the single most useful Pop, as the Ink Coverage hits pretty much the entire way to the Checkpoint. If you get first pop, and then move in almost immediately, you can probably score very early.
    Speaking from experience and some very good teamwork.

    I honestly as an octobrush player often leave the pop and try to get at least 2 kills in once it's popped, keeping my distance from the pop. Getting the enemy off the field is my priority as an octobrush player and im often the one who kills the rainmaker carrier.

  • @GhostKitten69

    my biggest peeve is when my team pops the rainmaker, teammate rushes in, and scores like three points before the whole enemy team rushes them down and splats them. great job, now we have to do that again but with one less teammate 🙄 basically just handing the lead to the other team

  • @Iinneus
    @Iinneus 2 года назад +2

    One thing I find useful about going for pops-- _especially_ in this game-- is that there often isn't an alternative. If you try to sneak around the shield, it will likely just explode and kill you because a pop can happen VERY quickly (I've definitely underestimated how long it takes multiple times). You just can't flank during that time on some maps (sigh, undertow). So at least having the shield exploded and out of the way means you can play a little safer.
    It's kind of funny that Hagglefish gives so much ink when it's one of the safest maps if you decide to ignore shield and go around.

    I think letting the enemy team get rainmaker first is a good play because with my experience they rush in and grab it and you can place a splatbomb or even suction bomb and 1-2 people always get splatted

    Personally I don't mind as much which team pops the rainmaker shield, as long as someone does it. I can't stand stalemates in rainmaker as it's supposed to be the most dynamic mode, good tip to go paint somewhere else and just let the enemy team have it.

    as a teacher shouldn't you convey that "worth" when used in this context (ie. not as a noun like in "their worth as a person") needs to go with a complement or a noun
    eg "worth it" or "worth the trouble" or "worth your while" and not just "it is worth"

    • @SquidSchool
      @SquidSchool  2 года назад +1

      My understanding is that the explosion is spherical, like a booyah bomb, so elevation above the ground drastically reduces the size of the cross section of that sphere that's painting the ground beneath it.

    Hey Squid School, I've been wondering. Have you noticed any mistakes Splatoon 2 players specifically are making in splatoon 3.
    I find myself still playing very similarly in splatoon 3, even though I know they are new things I should be accounting for. Like squid rolling.

    • @SquidSchool
      @SquidSchool  2 года назад

      Squid rolling is mostly a movement optimization and squid surging is almost always worse than just mashing B up the wall and ledge cancelling at the top. This game is a bit more aggressive since, due to the lack of flank routes, people need to just bully the other team out of mid, so when you when a fight you need to push people further up on the map instead of painting super meticulously on your own side and letting them walk further back in uncontested. It is very similar to S2 in a lot of ways, though
