I feel like the attacking team should get a bit of an advantage in one way or other. It would make the game more dynamic than I feel it has shown itself to be especially on the rig. In TF2 for example, the side that controls the point in a koth match takes a double respawn time compared to the one that is trying to take it, which helps equal out the straight advantage that the currently defending team usually has, and unless the teams are completely unequal usually means the point switches back and forth pretty often, meaning both sides have to work hard on both offense and defense to eek out an advantage, with the rollout still being extremely important. I wish Splatoon did something like that. Otherwise the game usually devolves into whoever takes the point and advances on the chokes first gets such a huge advantage and usually wins outright, making skills that help you win the rollout like Swim Speed and opening gambit extremely powerful (though swim speed was already brutally powerful). Turf war actually impressed me by how interesting it could be: there were still important areas to defend, but you couldn't just watch the chokes on one area and win, you had to keep them from getting the rest of the map and still advance on their parts of the map that you usually had to balance out attacking and defending if you wanted to do well.
now obviously we don't have dedicated matchmaking so we cannot fully judge both of these modes, but it's how both of them have rubbed off on me so far. I feel like Splat Zones has the potential to be really good, but I feel there were some overlooks and that the people behind it may not have been perfectly aware of how hard it is to attack through chokes against someone set up with defense. I think the tower will be a lot more dynamic personally, since the area you need to control is constantly moving and there will be many good times to advance on it, rather than always having to advance through chokes with a huge disadvantage and nothing to really help equal out that balance.
