'Secure the Splat Zones' is more of a guideline than an objective, really. I suppose it depends on my mood, my weapon, and what my squidmates are up to.
In this battle, I enjoy getting past the Splat Zones and in to enemy territory, where they probably don't expect me to ...

I had a lot of fun with the Tri-slosher the other day, so I give it another go today. I apparently forgot that the previous Ranked mode was Tower Control, where the bucket is perhaps more useful, but that's okay! Rainmaker is fun too.
I get a bit carried away with ...

I find my Splatterscope works better when my own squidmates don't jump in front of me. Take note, inklings, particularly at the start of battles. Jumping off the base when you have a charger trying to lay a track can be counter-productive.
My charger also works better from a distance. I ...

Another shaky start in this battle of Rainmaker. My aim and our Rainmaker carrying gets a bit better in the middle, but then I'm back to squidding on grates to refill my ink like a newbie.

I manage to get some good splats in still, and although I can't hit a ...

We get a great lead from the start, thanks to a clever inkling managing to sneak along the grating to come down a rather less-used route to the podium.
We keep the pressure on, with the Rainmaker staying in opposition territory, until one of their inklings goes the long away back ...

I had my couple of games with the Splatterscope, and they worked quite well after the Tri-slosher, albeit not quite as fluidly. But just as I am ready to call it a night, I see that I am one win away from being On Fire. I can't leave it like ...

I've had plenty of fun with the Tri-slosher in Tower Control this evening. I swap to the Splatterscope to see if I can continue this trend, or if my first choice of weapon was wiser.
Camp Triggerfish should be friendlier to the charger than the slosher, with its long corridors and ...

Sometimes you want to ride the tower. Sometimes you just want to disrupt your opponents, so that someone else can ride the tower.
This is one of those battles where my squidmates are happy to ride the tower, and the Blackbelly Skatepark map allows me to completely outflank the other team.

That Custom Hydra Splattling is quite a threat in the right suction cups. I like to think my Tri-slosher is too, but maybe not always in my tentacles.
The normal tussle at the start of the battle does their way before we're able to assert our presence on the tower. And ...

After seeing that I can make the Tri-slosher work on Camp Triggerfish Tower Control, I'm going to keep on using it.
Spurred on by my previous success, albeit with some less succesful games in-between, I take a more pro-active tactic of preventing the enemy from controlling the tower, by splatting them ...
