Sure they listen, but sometimes they don't do what the fans tell them they want.

Let me just say, E-Liter 3K Scope on Moray Towers Splat Zones is amazing.

You're contributing to why most everyone hates that map! Hopefully the update fixes things a bit.

Haha, the entire reason I did use it is because I just played a game where one of the players on the other team was using it and killing everyone, so I wanted to try it out and see how it was. But I agree, I hope the update does fix it a little bit, it's really annoying.

It has the same issue as Arowana Mall, only 2 ways into the center, though it's not as narrow so not as bad, but still, once a team takes over the center it's hard to get back in and you have no choice but to go straight through the middle since there's no alternative routes. 

I can't wait to try this gun out.
