What really stupid/noob things have you seen, or have done?

[Spiderface]

It always puts a smile on my face, seeing people do stupid things. Or doing something really stupid myself. So share with me!

I was playing Bluefin Depot just now, and as we started, two of us made a beeline for the middle of our area. I jumped and turned into a squid, almost falling through the grates but I realised and turned back into a kid. The person next to me though, fell through the grates as I stood there confused. And I thought "Oh God, they're probably so embarrassed, little do they know I just about did the exact same thing"

Also earlier, I picked up the rainmaker but didn't realise I had it, and so I was swimming off trying to be a ninja but everyone was swarming towards me and killed me. Only after I was dead did I realise I had the rainmaker. Oops.

Trying to snipe my own team mate as an E-Litre...

...In my defence they look really small from far away and I thought I kept missing.

It took me noticing the big name over their head for me to realise I was being an idiot, and they knew I was an idiot, as he super jumped over to me just to fire a single inkshot in my face as if to say "tag" then he super jumped away again. I sat there with a massive grin on my face and unfortunately I never saw him again.

This was long ago when I first unlocked the E-Litre, but hey, to be honest I still do a lot of stupid stuff at times, just not on this kind of calibre.

When i play with the dual squelcher, i tend to walk backwards to create space between me and the opponent if i outrange their weapon. When i was playing on bluefin, i was creating space between me and a tentatek, when i backed up too far and fell in the water. On the same day i was playing on saltspray rig and i was facing a roller. I made the same mistake again of backing up too far and falling backwards to my doom. I facepalmed so hard when i did it the second time on the same day.

 

[Big Boss]

Every match I play is a noob mistake

 

[Pinko]

I Super-jumped to somebody in Bluefin and ended up landing straight into water.

Also seen? Oh I have a lot of those. Great instances: Kelp Dome Rainmaker, one guy ran straight past the rainmaker tower with the thing in his hand (lost us the match) and one guy actually went back to his base on the opposing team with the thing and blew up the thing.

 

[Leronne]

Oh. Another stupid thing i do a lot in rainmaker on bluefin. I grab the rainmaker and i go right to climb up via the grates. I swim to get to the grates as fast as possible and i jump on it while still in squid and quickly turn into a kid and walk upwards. the mistake i make a lot is that i turn back too late and i end up falling through the grates. I cost my team a few matches with that mistake.

Right at the start of a match once on Bluefin I jumped over the grate right at the spawn in squid form and missed, falling straight through in front of everyone on my team. I respawned and made it over successfully this time, only to botch the next jump to the ground level and fall right into the water for the second time in under 30 seconds. Wasn't really my shining moment.

I've seen a lot of enemies just casually walk in front of my firing Heavy Splatling thinking they can out-splat one of the fastest splatting weapons in the game. On the other hand, I've had times where I'm shooting point-blank at a Dynamo Roller and all the shots missed like he/she was Neo in the Matrix or something, and I get dunked for it o_O

I Super-jumped to somebody in Bluefin and ended up landing straight into water

Sorry, that may have been me. I was trying to jump across a gap and though I had enough momentum to make it. I saw the superjump marker just before I jumped and went straight into the abyss. I remember thinking, someone's in for a surprise landing.

 

[Spiderface]

I just jumped at the tower on Moray Towers, missed, and fell off -.-

 

[Aaryk]

If Saltspray is in the rotation, you can bet with 100% certainty that at some point I will just casually slip off that narrow portion of wall next to the sniper perch overlooking the Splat Zone area, falling to my doom. I honestly have no idea how it keeps happening to me so frequently, it's like my inkling just loses her footing and before I know it, I'm plummeting. Hopefully my immediate Booyah spamming once I spawn back in eliminates any ill will on the part of my teammates :p

 

[adamjoseph]

The most hilarious mistake I made was starting Splatoon with the expectation that I'd be able to continue living my life peacefully and without worry

 

[Dolphoshi]

A mistake i make is when I use a carbon roller deco is trying to go toe to toe with a dynamo head on it doesn't end well

 

[Vitezen]

Super jumping.

Accidentally squidding on a mesh over water.

 

[Smashling79]

Preparing to launch an inkstrike while in the middle of crossfire lol

 

[Sol64]

Super jumping directly on the tower while in kraken state... and then bouncing off.
Which would've given me the lead.

 

[Flareth]

I've been known to swim mantle-first into enemy Seekers from time to time.

That's probably the most boneheaded thing I've ever done though. Most of the time, it's usually my terrible aim resulting in a splatted Flareth after most firefights.

 

[BlackZero]

Mfw I was spraying pain with a Splatling when some dude with a roller popped up out of nowhere and smashed my face in.

Spoiler

"Of course you can take on that group of three people with your inkbrush! Just mash zr and you will be fine"

The first time I ever played Bluefin, I immediately swam forward and fell through the grated ramp in front of spawn. I've had a lot of dumb falling deaths due to not paying attention, but that one took the cake.

As for the dumbest thing I've ever seen, one time in Arowana, I saw a roller run out of his corridor, off the grate to the side and into the water. Then he super jumped to an ally standing at the same spot, ran off and killed himself again. I felt bad for the guy, but I was also laughing my *** off.
