A good start going tits up in Rainmaker (7-8, Tri-slosher)
10th October 2016 – 7.00 pmMy first battle of the session, and I am already thinking about flanking the opposition and being a disruption. It works quite well to start with, although that first splat had the inkling perhaps lacking a little awareness. The following two were just my good positioning, though.
I make a poor decision to jump on to the crate rather than go around the back, and get splatted for it. From there, we are in the messy middle part of the battle, where inklings and ink are all over the place, and survival and splats come down to awareness.
I think I do quite well, evading ink coming my way, going around the back, using my Disruptor effectively. I get to the point where the Rainmaker is tantalisingly in front of me. I wait for what I think is the right moment and make a break for it. It was not the right moment.
The next push has the Rainmaker be a squidshield for me, and not the other way around. That disorientates me slightly, making me a prime target for splatting anyway. I was unlikely to survive being there, though.
On the green team's next push, I repel the Kraken effectively, and get myself in to a good position to rain ink down on the opposition, but get waylaid by the Octobrush whilst behind me our lead is beaten. Oops.
One final chance with the Rainmaker, and it falls to me to make it. I ink and squid as quickly as I can, but the brief splashes of ink from the Rainmaker don't cover the green ink, letting them squid to catch me up too easily. Oh well. A win turns to a loss, as it can do so easily.
