And it wastes almost the entire timer.

actually the practicality of that is extremely high. I mean extremely. If anyone on your team is alive and not in the area you are doomed to die in, you will live. Kraken is meant to save your life and hopefully kill an enemy or two in the process. But the first is more important than the 2nd.

you can activate kraken safely just before you land since you get control about a half second before then
there's no practical reason to activate before launching

Kraken is like the bubble but more offensive. It's job is to get you out of a hot spot while trashing your shocked enemies. Why would you super jump while it's activated? That's overkill in fleeing and a waste of a Kraken.
Doesn't matter. -10 functionality, +10 style.
Well when you put it that way... ;)

I see a use in this. Go deep into the enemy lines, poop kracken when you're under fire, spread some ink and then super jump away before it runs out.

That's a good point. Superjumping at the very end, rather than at the start, could save you from someone who's just out reach trying to bait you for a kill when it expires.
