On Moray Towers Rainmaker S rank yesterday, the match started with one of my teammates disconnecting. In order to compensate for the missing player, I practically threw myself at the Rainmaker and carried it to the 40 mark early on all by myself while dodging and splatting foes with it. That ended up being the game-winning push. Of course the enemy team recovered, but I still picked up the Rainmaker whenever I could so as to prevent them having it. I did die a lot, but I don’t think there was a single point where my entire team was respawning. My two teammates did an exceptional job defending and holding the other team back. I thought we’d lose for sure when the opponents took the Rainmaker to the 41 mark, especially since I got splatted a lot at that point, but somehow my allies managed to push them back just long enough. It was extremely close; the Rainmaker was right there at 41 for ages.
I’m really proud that we managed to win this though! In those situations, I actually feel motivated to play better because I know from experience that teams of three can be very tough to deal with and definitely have a winning chance.
In another Rainmaker match yesterday, this time on Hammerhead Bridge, the enemy team had managed to take a comfortable lead near the end of the match. I picked up the Rainmaker for overtime. By moving forward very carefully, letting my team take the lead and providing support charged shots, I successfully ran all the way up to the 22 points mark. One thing to like about overtime is how it can (sometimes) lead to a great coordinated push :P
