I am playing splat zones too, it's just not as fun as turf wars to me. I will be playing a mixture of both, at least until they release the other ranked modes.

I like turf wars for the fact that people are running all over the place and at the most not hiding in the ink to ambush :P

I love the mall map for both turf wars and ranked battles, the games are super tense, especially for ranked

After playing a bunch of Tower Control, I had to kick it back in Turf Wars to unwind before my head exploded

I just played turf wars for two hours. I usually don't stay in one room that long but I got lucky because most people in this particular room actually used teamwork, and as a result, we successfully made it to the enemies' base multiple times and stayed there for a while without getting killed.

Really? I was expecting some more teamwork on the dog side of things. Maybe some players still think they're in ranked mode XD.

In the recent Famitsu survey, only 36% of voters said they actually focused on spreading ink. The rest focused on splatting opponents :/. I know about snipers and chargers and all that, but 64% is just overboard.
These reasons are what makes people feel it's less 'competitive' - people are funny. People really want, for some reason, Splatoon to be a traditional conservative competitive shooter. We'll get what we deserve, if people want to turn it into that then that's what we'll get.
I was just wondering what everyone's strategy is for the opening 30secs to 1 minute of Turf Wars.
When I first started playing Splatoon everyone was like "Ink Your Base!!" so that is what I did. It was easy to do with a roller and got you lots of points toward your special early on. I had pretty good success with this strategy and my wife and my friends who come over to play have never deviated from this.
However, I started reading more and watching some streamers and I noticed that many of them rushed ahead to the central area to either meet the opposing team head-on, take control of the middle first, or secure the high ground. So I tried this strategy when I first decided to get good at shooters (instead of just the Krack-On). It worked really well for me as I not only was able to capture the middle, but I was still able to get lots of points for my special.
After awhile though, the rush forward strategy seemed to be failing. I think it was due to more and more people adopting that same strategy and while I am usually better than 50% at splatting people, I still got splatted frequently. So, for this past splatfest I returned to inking the base first and then heading out to confront the enemy.
Honestly, the "ink the base" tactic has worked better. I was using the RG, which has ink strike which means I could cut off the enemy early and I'm more of a close combat person (because of my terrible aim from long distance) so I can splat people easy after the initial cover (more ink to hide in).
But, I can see this tactic changing depending on weapons. If I went back to the .52 gal I'd probably rush to the middle a bit faster. One of the reasons I like this mode is of the many ways to achieve victory.
So, what tactic does everyone else use?

I really like turf wars because they help me unwind, practice with new weapons, practice map awareness, goof around etc with no penalty for losing. I also really like it during splatfest because it does become more competitive.
Personally my tactic depends on the map and the weapon that I'm using, but I tend to like to rush forward. It does depend on the map though. If there are no chokepoints then i spend more time inking on my way (like flounder heights). but if it's saltspray I usually will rush the back area as fast as possible and try and hold it.
Also i really like using sprinklers for turf wars so i can just drop one on the base right away and everything.
