So spawn camping does exist in Splatoon...

[Aweshucks]

Yeah, I was responding to a post claiming Walleye was the only impossible one.

Oh my bad, I read that as the only possible one. But, yeah... it's totally possible to spawn camp on walleye

Video is hilarious, will attempt this next time I play and see how it goes.

I have lost before because my team got greedy and kept pushing the other team back into there base but they had already covered most of the map so we lost

I'm glad someone said this. You can easily escape using the Superjump.

You can only super jump to teammates or beacons. If there are no teammates out then you can't, or if there are teammates in a gun fight you'll probably die right after super jumping anyway. Super jumping out of spawn isn't always your safest and best option. I'm not sure why people are so adamant in defending splatoon saying "there is no spawn trapping in splatoon". Of course there is, there is in every game. Pretty much 3 out of 5 games I play on Walleye Warehouse ends in a spawn me spawn trapping them and my team completely controlling middle. Even if you have a teammate to jump too, especially on a very narrow small map like walleye, it's not always the safest. And once you get 4 down, that option no longer exists.

EDIT: Also. just super jumping away allows the other team to paint your spawn so you're still losing considerable turf.

I suppose there are exceptions. Like the example you just gave.

Sub weapons and sneak attacks are the key. Or you could also just stop him before he gets there. Most people just rush into the middle of the stage and forget that they should also be watching out for people who sneak into their side.

I've only been spawn-camped by teams that were better than mine. It's not some single mechanic that can be abused by anyone for an unfair advantage. If you reach the point of being spawn-camped, you did something wrong earlier in the match.
