Since I don’t actually remember many details, I’ll just throw together some of the things I do remember from the last couple of days.
Grim Range Blaster, Tower Control. That was my very first time with the weapon, but I managed to get a good K/D (something like 9/3). The Burst Bomb + indirect hit combo is ridiculously powerful, give it a try!
Krak-On, Port Mackerel, Rainmaker. The enemy team had the lead by a couple of points, and we both had managed to get very close to the goal (10 to 8 maybe?). At some point with about a minute left, an opponent picked up the Rainmaker and swam through their base to stand on their right side and spam shots. The Rainmaker holder was squidbagging. So I popped my Kraken, infiltrated their right lane, and casually rolled over the squidbagger who hadn’t even noticed me coming. I squidbagged right back, set down a Beakon, popped the shield and took the Rainmaker down to where my team could reach it. I might have been splatted at that point, I don’t remember, but either way, we managed to win by knockout.
Same weapon, map and mode. Having gotten to the bottom of the box where the goal is, we had a very comfortable lead at 10 points. However, the opponents were starting to get through our defenses. Near the end of the timer, they had gotten to our side and were preparing to push into our base. Instead of risking it, I climbed the third box in our base (the one farthest from spawn), inked the side of the container, and hid there, letting my Special gauge charge up. Meanwhile, the enemy team had entered overtime and had wiped my entire team. After a short while, they started heading into the lane to my right, unaware of my presence. All I had left to do was going Kraken and dropping on them. Boom, done!
Dynamo Roller, Bluefin Depot, Splat Zones. We were struggling to get control of the zone (100 to 60-ish), and with the enemy team’s counter going down fast, I decided to try and go for a flank. I got a quad and from there, we managed to recover and win by knockout.
Tempered Dynamo Roller, Walleye Warehouse, Rainmaker. Score was 51 (my team) to 50 (their team), so we weren’t in the lead. At some point, I was holding the Rainmaker and my whole team got splatted, so I decided to hold out in mid until they respawned. I held on for a surprisingly long time, getting quite a few splats in the process. I think a Carbon Roller Deco got me by spamming Seekers down their right lane (I was standing on the box there to right-side peek, and I was shooting through the corridor, but I got overwhelmed from both sides and couldn’t do anything). Either way, Things Happened, and we managed to enter overtime. The Rainmaker holder was doing the same thing as I did earlier in the match, standing at the exact same spot and spamming shots to survive for as long as possible while the rest of us respawned. To be fair, I wasn’t really helpful at that point. I traded, and while I was respawning, my team managed to get the lead. So this is more of a "good job, team!" moment!
And abused the extra range of the scoped version vs an unscoped one. Phew!
