The only real selling point for me with "zones only" is having different team compositions and complexities. When that doesn't happen it's just impossible to watch for more than like a few sets. Too boring.

I think getting rid of Clam Blitz would be a huge mistake. Imo it's the best mode from a viewer's perspective. Its only real problem is Kraken cheese, and arguably a dearth of great maps. Popgun said in a recent Popcast that if Kraken cheese is really that much of a problem we should just consider banning it instead of condemning the mode entirely, and I 100% agree.

As for Rainmaker/Tower Control, I think getting rid of them entirely would remove some interesting diversity from the game. That being said, I think we could make the argument for treating them a single mode instead of two, and make it so every three games is Splat Zones, Rainmaker/Tower Control, Clam Blitz. Personally if we're not going to do all modes equally I'd rather have this.

And I don't like Chara's suggestion for Zones every other map because I don't like the idea that a team would be able to win a set only by winning Zones. You should have to win at least one other mode imo.
