Honestly I love grabbing the rainmaker because I feel I'm the most reliable with the RM as a weapon, instead of whatever I was maining at the time. The only problem is that I tend to play defensively and don't like taking risks which can sometimes result in a loss, but usually my team wins.

Ive been jumping off the map since A rank, and I told my friend it was a good option to push with. One time we were behind in overtime, and he jumped off to reset... I was telling him not to, but he didnt hear me or hear the overtime sounds 🤦♂️

Really insightful video, I never really thought grabbing rain was worth because I think that having a mobile main weapon is better than having rain. Do you think some weapons/roles should be more apt to pick up rain over others?

I think generally who grabs it doesn't matter too much, but it flows more naturally when long range weapons pick up rainmaker especially in a full team environment since the properties of rainmaker itself lean towards what backline weapons already have generally (long range, slow movement/charge, etc). When playing ranked on your own though it's safe to grab it regardless of what you're using if no one else will.

This is usually how I play, with a few exceptions to the "rain in your base and enemy is wiped" scenario If the enemy has their paint up to way in our base, I often benefit more from popping rain, then going to reclaim some space while letting rain reset (mostly because rain is slow and doesn't paint exremely well, ut still has decent paint, but usually my mains are better at painting) If we have paint just about up to mid, I'll usually go for a rainmaker grab if noone else does, because as you said, it saves time It's mostly a distance thing. Rainmaker plays similarly to backline weapons in that is can kill enemies from decently far away (as you demonstrated in the video), but usually needs teammates to protect it because it's not too good at close range stuff When I play backline weapons, if we already have decent control, getting a proper push in always feels much easier than having to slug back to mid before we can begin pushing, so I often feel the same when playing rain This is kinda just my experience in soloq tho, might be different in a coordinated environment

I would say that there's another reason to jump the rainmaker off of the map. If the enemy team already has a significant amount of your half of the map in control, and a few players are still alive, it's better to jump it off the map, as it diverts the attention of the enemy team towards mid and away from your team, making it easier to win the mid fight, even if you're down a player.

An excellent video on how to play rainmaker although I have two questions. Aren’t you giving the enemy team free special charge up when you do pick it up? Shouldn’t that be a consideration to think twice before picking it up?
@pikadave465

Technically yes, though I don't think that's significant enough to outweigh all the benefits of grabbing anyway. Also the extra time you'd otherwise take to start making your own push is more time the opponent can use to build special too, so overall you're likely not dealing with more specials from them than you would have anyway.

If there’s a wipe, they won’t get special charge, and if it’s one guy, they’re not going to pop a special against an entire team.

This. Picking up rainmaker and spamming its shots from high ground is guaranteed map control every time. It’s honestly mind boggling how even high level teams still leave it in their spawn.

I always thought it was common to die reset the rainmaker. Ever since I've been playing splatoon 3 when it came out people have does the die reset method a lot. I adore rainmaker. I'm so good at it my friend aims to let me grab it everytime if I can get to it. It's so fun aiming at people as they run

I see my team do this at times where they are so bloodthirsty they decide to go kill the other team instead of focusing on protecting the objective, the thing that actually matters. You can go kill people all you want in turf war but this is ranked, stop being selfish and help the team
