estarstar04041015 Dude, same. I’m no good with that golden fish. So I try and not touch it when my team mates are close. I did manage to win the game few times, but most of the time is a wipeout.
The Noob This player has NEVER played ranked before, and is a c- player. They have no idea what the rainmaker does, how to use it, where to take it, etc. Sometimes they even take it to spawn... The Camper This player hides with the rainmaker in the last 30 seconds, usually in a hard to reach location. They know their timer wont run out, they have the lead, so why not say "lol" and camp with it? cuz its rood thats why The (bad) Camper Ends up dying whilst camping, usually by the timer running out/enemy team. Results in enemy push that usually costs them the game... The Killing Spree This player will just go for kills. Every. Single. Time. They kill with their main. They kill with the rainmaker. They kill with subs and specials. They don't care for the mode, they just want to murder. Usually they vary in skill. Sometimes they're godlike and win you the game (unless they have the rainmaker, in which case they taunt/act like a general jerk), or sometimes they just suck. The Defender This player literally only defends. Never pushes with his team. I mean, I guess it makes sense with the whole "mobility turfing ink" thing, but... come on man. Help your team. The Turf Warrior "What mode are we playing again?" They act like it's turf war. Usually found in c-. The I-Disconnected-And-Lost-My-Rank This player disconnected. Could be ragequit, could be lag. Either way, their bar cracked and they're salty. Meanwhile, the other team either has a free-win pass, or will take a loss without punishment. The Salty This player will constantly say "This Way" and blame his team for not backing him up. I mean, it is rainmaker. Why aren't you helping the person WITH the rainmaker? However, whilst SOME blaming of the team would be acceptable from time to time (see Defender/Turf Warrior/Killing Spree), they even go as far as to blame the actually GOOD players. You know, the ones who are doing most of the work... and actually have been backing this player up. The PRECIOUUUUS This player doesn't want to lose their rank. They don't even play ranked 90% of the time. *My.... PRECIOUSSSSSSS*
I mean I get pretty salty with my teams. especially rollers that only ROLL no flicking to kill they just roll and keep rolling @-@ annoying. I got really salty with this one rainmaker game. was playing league with my buddy and the other pair were path makers. so they made a path allllll the way to their base but never came back to help us when the other team had the rainmaker. it was a 2 v 4 situation and we ended up getting knocked out because we had 0 help from our other team mates. oof
The reason I won't pick up the rainmaker is because I prefer to use backline weapons like Splatlings and Jet Squelchers so I think its best if I don't pick it up and defend whoever does.
You forgot _the guy who thinks hes playing turf war_ I was playing raimmaker today and a dude with a roller did nothing but cover turf(probably trying to get specials?) But every time I checked the map he was off somewhere to the side. This guy was literally covering every corner near our base as we got gang banged by the enemy team. Also, I'm the path maker and body guard. I main the Octobrush, do I even have to explain lol. I don't like picking up the raimmaker because I'm not good at handling it and my teammates like to see me get fucked, but if there's a path that no one is using then I'll swoop it up real quick.
I'm mostly the bodyguard but sometimes I become the kleptomaniac when I'm the only one left in my team and surrounded by the other team. I do it so they waste time destroying the rainmaker barrier again and by then my team is already back.
Definitely a Leroy (and don’t worry Vasko, I got the reference too. Does that make me old as well?) Also part Paintaker as I try and Leroy my way to victories
I’m pretty much a Jack of All Trades. You also forgot: The Comebacker, the guy who will get the Rainmaker on the pedestal even if there’s 1 point left for the other team; The Sneaker, who will take routes that make the Rainmaker closer to the pedestal; The Weapon Tester, who tries random weapons in this mode; And everyone else, including me sometimes, The “ I Don’t Communicator” who doesn’t “This Way”
I'm also a jack of trades. I can defend, I'm good with the rainmaker, and am so cautious that I come how run out of time lol. (Not that cautious to stay in the very far back though).
What about the trap player? The anchor/back liner who would most likely use rollers and wait for the front liner or rainmaker to try push in to the spawn I’ve seen these people be quite effective.
I am the bodyguard because the person with the rainmaker cannot go alone they will get splatted if they aren’t too skilled with it or get overrun by enemies. Same kinda goes for clam blitz and I even try and pass the clams.
The Turned-Around: Spends so much time inking turf and flanking the enemy, that when the path is clear and they finally grab the Rainmaker, they accidentally take it backwards. Hopefully learns their lesson after the first time in a play session.
I'm bad with getting kills with the rainmaker so I usually try to bodyguard whoever takes it. But if I have one of THOSE teams, I'll grab it and spam "This way!" until someone is actually vaguely near me on the map lol.
I’m definitely Leroy, the one that grabs it when we just need that push that has a plan and it works most of the time. But I’ll also just keep grabbing the rainmaker if we’re winning because the more time they gotta waste popping the bubble the better! (I’m actually playing rainmaker right now lol)
Im tagging myself. *Kleptomaniac. I try to get it as much as possible *Pathmaker. I always try to push straight ahead no matter what the consequences. *Leroy Jenkins... yeeaaaah. *RARELY, I'm also a bodyguard. I'll protect somebody if they seem to be the least experienced in the team, but.. yeah. Otherwise, I'm leaving you alone because you can handle yourself. Hey. I just realised I'm an awful person.
I’m a Leroy. That one was so me. Also, story time. One time I was playing Rainmaker and we had a pathmaker on our team they make a path (on Camp Triggerfish) down the side instead of the middle, said ‘this way’ and jumped straight into battle. I saw this, grabbed the rainmaker and pushed to an instant KO in less than 30 seconds. I didn’t get any kills, but it felt great.
I'm a rainmaker main (usually can do good with it when it's in my hands) but at the same time I don't like picking it up because I don't feel like my teammates can support me when I have it. Edit: Also guilty of being the jumper and on rare occasions the Pathmaker.
Probably XD I've gotten to X in clam using the brush and just rushing in to score but can't do much in X since there are a few advanced players (but they are never on my team)
Clam Blitz is the only mode I’m consistently good at. I pretty much never hate it, and It’s pretty fun. Tower Control is stupid, though. It’s being a sitting duck for everyone. I’ve hated it in both games.
@@agentblackbird9435 I want to like tower control but the only reason why I can't is because I can't find a good weapon I like for tower control. And the clash blaster is just, no.
I would just like to just say that having the slayers pick up the rainmaker is usually a bad idea. The rainmaker is a back/midline weapon. In the ideal team comp of 2 slayers, 1 support, and 1 backline, if the slayer picks up the rainmaker you've now got 2 backlines and only 1 slayer which isn't ideal. Having the backliners pick it up means that you've still got a good team comp of 2 slayers, 1 backline, and 1 support. I've recently been playing the Fresh Squiffer a lot and I usually try to pick it up as the rainmaker can fill a similar role I played as the Squiffer playing more aggressively than most chargers like the E-liter and Splat Charger, but less aggressively than things like Splat Dualies and Splattershots. Having the supports pick it up can also work if your other weapons are decent at painting for example a team with Splat Dualies, Splattershot, and Heavy Splatling can probably live without a JR since those weapons already do a decent job painting the map, however you may not want to do that with a team with two blasters and a charger as the support would really be the only one good at painting. ((I'm not a competitive player this is just what I've found in lower-level ranked(B) as I started playing fairly recently. So haven't had time to rank up.)
2:08 Yes it does! Twice today I scarified myself for the rainmaker at just the right moment, so we ended up winning. It’s very hard to come across, but there are people who do it.
You forgot the people who forget what they're playing. Once I had the rainmaker and everyone was so focused on splatting each other that I was able to just carry it to the goal with no problems. Heck, a guy on the opposing team even ran right past me but was so eager to jump back into the battle that he didn't even notice me.
im definitely the one who grabs it. kind hard to get people to protect u though in soloq. I go as far as I can forwards while trying to get my team near me tho. never go backwards. also u can strafe with the rainmaker which is epic
When I play Rainmaker on a stage other than Goby Arena, Blackbelly Skatepark, Port Mackerel or Kelp Dome, sometimes if the enemy came close to getting a comeback, and the Rainmaker near the goal, I will intentionally jump off to reset. That way the enemy will have to travel the extra distance.
Im that one player who grabs the rainmaker, ignores all enemies trying to splat me, and rushes ahead as far as i can. This strategy has managed to get me winning games a lot
I like using a brush in Rainmaker, because I can just stick next to the Rainmaker. Turns out the Rainmaker swim speed is fairly close to the brush's brush speed (If you have Swim Speed Up), so just stay immediately behind me, and you'll get to the goal.
Bodyguard here for sure. And a very disgruntled one at that. I said “this way” more times than I can count, I popped the Tenta Brella and launched it, it’s currently paving a Golden Brick Road for you to waltz the Rainmaker down, and yet you still decided it’d be a better idea to leave the route we were on to flank around the entire map, as if the enemy team doesn’t know where you are at all times.
I am a proud Leroy! Too many times I try to be a path maker or a body guard for the wrong team/ players. I feel like I just need to do it myself. I guess that's the problem huh lol but it feels so good when the win pulls through. Rain maker is the best mode in turns of hype for me since I'm a Leroy
I am simultaneously the kleptomaniac and bazooka intolerant. I never can tell whether my team would want me to pick up the rainmaker or not, so I take it whenever I want supposed to and vice versa
Im the pathmaker, bodyguard, and LEEROY JENKINS! I always get frustrated when i make a clear path to the podium and they decide to go the other way, or when they will never follow through a push and get splatted...
I think there is one more type that I call the chased or sometimes the chaser they will stay near enemy spawn and make sure they don’t move either by killing them or getting them to chase them in irrelevant places ( also they are most commonly brushes)( also unlike spawn campers they don’t stay on the spawn but they don’t ever go to their own side of the map )
You forgot 4 the spammer, who stays in the same place and spams and only moves when all other teams people are dead, the pro, who is both good with rainmaker and their weapon, and is a bodyguard, and the troll who yrolls.
i guess i'm a leeroy jenkins. If the time is running out and my team is behind, i grab the rainmaker and make a football run out of desperation to take the lead. On at least two occasions, this resulted in a knockout win...
I'm the type of rainmaker player who takes the rain-maker then predicts where enemys will go and splat them around corners, and I will usually take out the person who has the rainmaker, I also add object shredder to destroy the barrier faster so my team can make a play.
Yup I encountered one once I was playing rainmaker and we had a clear and safe path but the one holding the rainmaker did not do it instead she kept blasting the enemy with a rainmaker then we all died then they splatted the one with the rainmaker and we all lost (Probably wanted the highest splat count) Don’t be these types of players unless you want to lose your ranks!
I'm a bazookarp intolerant, what's funny is that one match my team popped the shield and splatted most of the other team and ALL of my other team including me were hesitating like going back and forth to the rainmaker, the match then consisted of the other team grabbing the rainmaker, we splatting them and them going back to move just a little bit until they won. that's what I get.
I always get people who stink at carrieing it. You have to be smart, try using a flank where enemys won’t be sitting there waiting to splat you.(don’t always charge into the middle of the map every single time)
There’s this one time I played a game with a guy who picked up the rainmaker, but didn’t go ahead, he used it only to kill people, and of course died, and because of that we lost, “This way” didn’t work, he was probably too scared to die, or he didn’t know how to play that game, but whatever the reason, he was the worst person I have ever seen use the rainmaker
I've seen some players I just call all stars/jocks/football players, because they just run straight to the podium without fighting back. Even when all 4 enemies are attacking, and nobody is defending. Surprisingly, they always win.
0:30 That's me right there! I HATE getting the rainmaker! And unless it's a win or lose situation and I'm the only one alive! You can guarantee that I will not pick up the rainmaker under any circumstances! :) Your welcome! 👌
im mostly a bodyguard and try to protect whoever has the rainmaker and try to make paths for them a bit ahead but that means i usually let someone else on my team pick it up if we're all at it but if im the only one who can get it etc. i'll take it
The one thing that annoys me in rainmaker is when the rainmaker carrier refuses to move forwards. Lime your team is protecting you giving you a path. The opposing team has been wiped. GO TO THE FREAKING GOAL!
you forgot the one that picks up the rainmaker solely because they want a better weapon in the last 10 seconds when the other team has the lead and they instantly die because they didnt know about the charge time and costs your team the game.
I play rainmaker in 3 different ways 1: LEEERROOYY JEENKINS - no explanation needed 2: The budget bodyguard - I try to be a bodyguard but ultimately fail 3: The distraction - I will distract the enemy team while a push is going on
I pick up the rainmaker and carefully pinpoint my strategy. I usually use th e map we have to our advantage and take a way around if possible, usually it works because of the fighting in the middle
I remember one time on that liner stage (forgot the name) the rainmaker was around the enemy side but it wouldn’t move since everyone kept killing each other until the time ran out and since my team had more points we won
i'm a bodyguard. I camp at the rainmaker location then help people break the shield as well as stop enemies from getting it, but as soon as someone on my team gets the rainmaker, you bet your BOTTOM you're going *DOWN*
Bodyguard/escort/support Luna Blaster to pop shields, splat opponents, and help build a path. Of course this doesn't work if the teammate with the rainmaker doesn't know any paths other than straight down the middle.
I’m definitely the path maker. I love to use the inkjet exhaust from my Nautilus 79 and make a path for my team to swim through and splat any defenders
I play the role of the bodyguard. I don’t normally pick up the rain maker bc my foil flingza is better for getting kills and protecting the rainmaker. Now to get someone to actually pick it up.
You forgot about the people that go *backwards* with the Rainmaker
StickMaster500 OMG yeah you are absolutely right. I hate them 😀 sometimes I have the impression they play for the other team ahah
The Joestar Secret Technique is a powerful one.
Oh makes sense
Oi good point! Its the equivalent of throwing clams in your own basket XD
Actually, this is quite good for camping in last few seconds.
im the bodyguard i think. and when im holding the rainmaker, i press 'this way' a million times and scream "PROTECT MEEEEEE"
The worst part is when no one comes ;(
@@VaskoGames yes 😭😭😭😭😭

Ends up dying whilst camping, usually by the timer running out/enemy team. Results in enemy push that usually costs them the game...
The Killing Spree
This player will just go for kills. Every. Single. Time. They kill with their main. They kill with the rainmaker. They kill with subs and specials. They don't care for the mode, they just want to murder. Usually they vary in skill. Sometimes they're godlike and win you the game (unless they have the rainmaker, in which case they taunt/act like a general jerk), or sometimes they just suck.

If the defending team players all go the wrong way, you will have a clear path to the goal.

I said “this way” more times than I can count, I popped the Tenta Brella and launched it, it’s currently paving a Golden Brick Road for you to waltz the Rainmaker down, and yet you still decided it’d be a better idea to leave the route we were on to flank around the entire map, as if the enemy team doesn’t know where you are at all times.
I just love the term "Rainmaker Main" its wonderful
That's what I subscribed for :D
Also, I'm a rainmaker main who doesn't move until the enemy team is wiped and sometimes doesn't want to pick it up
I think thats every rainmaker main. Lol.
When I see the enemy team wiped in literally any Ranked mode I'm just like
"It's showtime."
you forgot the annoying troll how just either runs to your podium or stands still / grabs rainmaker and back into a corner and hides
Almost EVERYONE does the body guard one at least
I am a proud Leroy! Too many times I try to be a path maker or a body guard for the wrong team/ players. I feel like I just need to do it myself. I guess that's the problem huh lol but it feels so good when the win pulls through. Rain maker is the best mode in turns of hype for me since I'm a Leroy
I am simultaneously the kleptomaniac and bazooka intolerant. I never can tell whether my team would want me to pick up the rainmaker or not, so I take it whenever I want supposed to and vice versa
I like to think I'm a bodyguard, but often I just wind up Leeroying my way to victory.
I’m the person that freaks out everytime someone killes me when I JUST got the rainmaker
Im the pathmaker, bodyguard, and LEEROY JENKINS! I always get frustrated when i make a clear path to the podium and they decide to go the other way, or when they will never follow through a push and get splatted...
I think there is one more type that I call the chased or sometimes the chaser they will stay near enemy spawn and make sure they don’t move either by killing them or getting them to chase them in irrelevant places ( also they are most commonly brushes)( also unlike spawn campers they don’t stay on the spawn but they don’t ever go to their own side of the map )
The guy like me, takes the rainmaker retreats, and starts to squidparty until the rainmaker explodes me, because splatoon 1 stuff
You forgot 4 the spammer, who stays in the same place and spams and only moves when all other teams people are dead, the pro, who is both good with rainmaker and their weapon, and is a bodyguard, and the troll who yrolls.
I’m a bodyguard,
For the goal,
So basicly I hide, then when they’re close-
*splatted randomsquidkid*
i guess i'm a leeroy jenkins. If the time is running out and my team is behind, i grab the rainmaker and make a football run out of desperation to take the lead. On at least two occasions, this resulted in a knockout win...
I'm the type of rainmaker player who takes the rain-maker then predicts where enemys will go and splat them around corners, and I will usually take out the person who has the rainmaker, I also add object shredder to destroy the barrier faster so my team can make a play.
Oh please, I’m a proud bodyguard no matter what Ranked battle there is. ( And a prankster. )
The rainmaker that chills out by enemy spawn just to get kills with the rainmaker... usually gets splatted and costs the game.
Yup I encountered one once I was playing rainmaker and we had a clear and safe path but the one holding the rainmaker did not do it instead she kept blasting the enemy with a rainmaker then we all died then they splatted the one with the rainmaker and we all lost (Probably wanted the highest splat count) Don’t be these types of players unless you want to lose your ranks!
You forgot the type of player who pick up the RM and go by himself without waiting his team to help. People we are a team. We can help protecting you.
I'm a bazookarp intolerant, what's funny is that one match my team popped the shield and splatted most of the other team and ALL of my other team including me were hesitating like going back and forth to the rainmaker, the match then consisted of the other team grabbing the rainmaker, we splatting them and them going back to move just a little bit until they won. that's what I get.
I always get people who stink at carrieing it. You have to be smart, try using a flank where enemys won’t be sitting there waiting to splat you.(don’t always charge into the middle of the map every single time)
I needed that Leroy Jenkins reference, thank you
Wow this is a great video!
Keep it up Vasco
There’s this one time I played a game with a guy who picked up the rainmaker, but didn’t go ahead, he used it only to kill people, and of course died, and because of that we lost, “This way” didn’t work, he was probably too scared to die, or he didn’t know how to play that game, but whatever the reason, he was the worst person I have ever seen use the rainmaker
I'm the paintaker who is also allergic to touching the rainmaker... the pain isn't me getting splatted, it's having to be anchor
You forgot the person who picks it up, spams shots, and doesn’t move an inch with it
I've seen some players I just call all stars/jocks/football players, because they just run straight to the podium without fighting back. Even when all 4 enemies are attacking, and nobody is defending. Surprisingly, they always win.
0:30
That's me right there! I HATE getting the rainmaker! And unless it's a win or lose situation and I'm the only one alive!
You can guarantee that I will not pick up the rainmaker under any circumstances! :)
Your welcome! 👌
im mostly a bodyguard and try to protect whoever has the rainmaker and try to make paths for them a bit ahead but that means i usually let someone else on my team pick it up if we're all at it but if im the only one who can get it etc. i'll take it
Leeroys unite! They always say, "Don't push! You'll get splatted!". BUT YOU PROVE THEM WRONG! [Please remember to push responsibly :) ]
The one thing that annoys me in rainmaker is when the rainmaker carrier refuses to move forwards. Lime your team is protecting you giving you a path. The opposing team has been wiped. GO TO THE FREAKING GOAL!
you forgot the one that picks up the rainmaker solely because they want a better weapon in the last 10 seconds when the other team has the lead and they instantly die because they didnt know about the charge time and costs your team the game.
I play rainmaker in 3 different ways
1: LEEERROOYY JEENKINS - no explanation needed
2: The budget bodyguard - I try to be a bodyguard but ultimately fail
3: The distraction - I will distract the enemy team while a push is going on
The 96 deco main, will act as a body guard but not to protect, to slaughter
I pick up the rainmaker and carefully pinpoint my strategy. I usually use th e map we have to our advantage and take a way around if possible, usually it works because of the fighting in the middle
I remember one time on that liner stage (forgot the name) the rainmaker was around the enemy side but it wouldn’t move since everyone kept killing each other until the time ran out and since my team had more points we won
The body guard is rare us in splatoon 1 if we don't have the rainmaker we do all the jobs needed even when we have it
I'm the type of person who goes for kills and then sometimes grabs the rainmaker and spams this way when I have to.
i'm a bodyguard. I camp at the rainmaker location then help people break the shield as well as stop enemies from getting it, but as soon as someone on my team gets the rainmaker, you bet your BOTTOM you're going *DOWN*
Bodyguard/escort/support
Luna Blaster to pop shields, splat opponents, and help build a path.
Of course this doesn't work if the teammate with the rainmaker doesn't know any paths other than straight down the middle.
I'm the Guardian, I guard the rainmaker holder with my entire life
I’m definitely the path maker. I love to use the inkjet exhaust from my Nautilus 79 and make a path for my team to swim through and splat any defenders
Ah, the players who spam the attack with the rainmaker.
Everyone in my team: PROTECC THE RAINMAKER! (all bodyguards)
I play the role of the bodyguard. I don’t normally pick up the rain maker bc my foil flingza is better for getting kills and protecting the rainmaker. Now to get someone to actually pick it up.
Me having the rainmaker; *inks herself* you sure you'll protect me... /4 lie filled matches later/
Me: *scared to pick it up*
I think I’m a unique type but when someone on my team has got the rain maker, I become a body guard
you forgot about the people who just spam the rainmaker in hopes of splatting someone
