What's The Default Map For Each Mode In Your Mind?

[ThestralZ]

This is just my opinion and I'm curious what everyone else thinks:

• Zones = Mincemeat Metalworks
• Rainmaker = Undertow Spillway
• Tower Control = Crableg Capital
• Clam Blitz = Mincemeat Metalworks (again lol)

 

[Grushi]

Love that question!

• Zones: MakoMart
• Tower: Inkblot Art Academy
• Rainmaker: Undertow Spillway (RIP)
• Clams: Museum d'Alfonsino

These are the first that pop to mind, though honorable mention to Hagglefish zones and makomart tower

 

[isaac4]

• Zones/ Hagglefish Market
• Tower/ Inkblot Art Academy
• Rainmaker/ Humpback Pump Track
• Clams/ Flounder Heights

These are the stages I have the most memories playing on for each mode.
Hagglefish Zones specifically is a map/mode combination I see in a lot of tournaments so that definitely play a big role.

And wait, you poor thing, Mincemeat clams??? What have they done to you, that map is iconic in all the wrong ways

That's why I always think about it

 

[youre_a_squib_now]

idk. I thought of rainmaker and visualized a stage in my head, but when I tried to figure out what stage it was I realized it was just a generic stage and didn't actually represent any particular layout.

barnacle zones
inkblot tc
manta rm
mako clams

Hmmm I am not sure what 'default' might be considered but I can sure tell you the first map that comes to my mind when I think of each mode!

- TC Mako only because I still get War Flashbacks of it after a rotation I had where I lost nearly every match badly and then I poured over those replays for way too long trying to figure out what was consistently going wrong so parts of those games were looping in my head and for a while after I was having actual nightmares about it. It was bad lol. I think I am irrationally afraid of that map-mode now.
- Clams Hammerhead and I don't know why except that I seem to always be playing anarchy every time it's in rotation so maybe that.
- Rainmaker Undertow.... I also don't know why. In my head it's still the old undertow. I think I just had a lot of really intense and memorable games there. It's weird now.
- Zones MAHI because my very first anarchy game I ever played was zones mahi and we won and that is forever imprinted on my memory now.

Turf War- Wahoo World. Despite the fact Wahoo World is fairly unique in terms of how big the map is and how there's multiple parts that move, it feels like just... the default Turf War map
Rainmaker- Hagglefish Market. I think part of this is because when I was putting together my gear abilities when I first started playing NTri, I had Hagglefish in mind when I was considering whether or not I should put enough Ink Saver (Sub) on to get two Fizzy Bombs.
Tower Control- Sturgeon Shipyard. Mind you I don't like Tower on Sturgeon, but that's just THE map I think of
Clam Blitz- Scorch Gorge. Again I don't like Clams on Scorch but it just feels like the default for me.
Splat Zones- MakoMart. I like the stacks so that's what I think of, also I just like MakoMart in general so it being the "default" map for something was bound to happen.
BONUS ANSWERS
Salmon Run- Sockeye Station. One of the easiest maps so naturally I play it more, so it feels default, even though my favorite is Gone Fission Hydroplant. I'm also biased because Sockeye was in rotation the first shift I ever played
Tricolor- Mincemeat. Not only one of my favorite Tricolor maps in general, but it's the one I feel plays the most like how Tricolor is supposed to feel, y'know?
Literally Any Of The Challenges- Hammerhead Bridge. Stop putting Hammerhead Bridge in Challenges, it sucks and appears too often.

[Umbreonfan]

Turf war- Wahoo World
Zones- Hagglefish market. Whenever I play this map it's on zones.
Rainmaker-Sturgeon shipyard
Tower control- Flounder heights
Clam blitz- Robo Ramen

Salmon run- Sockeye station I think was the first map for rotation or could've been gone fission.

 

[DChachouke]

Zones is mahi
Clams is inkblot
Tower is Romen
Rainmaker is undertow

 

[Yosi Spring]

Turf War: Mahi
Zones: Hammerhead
Rainmaker: Undertow
Tower: (nothing)
Clams: Hagglefish

 

[Snowball]

Zones: Mahi Mahi Resort, Ever since the rework its been my favorite zones map

Rainmaker: Undertow Spillway, For a while it was seen as the best rainmaker map by alot of people so its the one i associate the most with rainmaker

Tower: Hagglefish Market, Just the one I've played the most

Clams: Museum d'Alfonsino, There moment from a tournament set I watched a while ago in which someone clutches a lead by one point in over time right before the basket closes on this stage, and that always comes to mind when I think of clam blitz

 

[Dustrix]

Zones: mako mart
Tower control: mako mart
Rainmaker: mako mart
Clam blitz: mako mart
