I don't know what this means but Marie fans have been in denial since before undertale was released.

Splatoon 2 Lore Update: Squid Sister Stories (Look What You Did Marie Fans!)
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
What's there to be in denial about, she won the popular vote and win total, Callie fans just didn't like us saying what we know now to be true. That Marie is the best
If Marie is so good, why is you avatar a tentacled lady from an entirely different game? eh? eh?

This war isn't ending anytime soon
can't wait for people to be let down by the sequel's story thanks to the localization.
didn't the Paper Mario series go through this? the original JP scripts were pretty dry and that's why Miyamoto was ok with ditching story for the later games but since the localization was a lot better, it ended up hurting them in the west once they ditched the story.
Callie won the most splatfests 27-21.
The story is a big part of the game. It's not going away.
Don't act like you don't know that this wasn't because of the choices given. You could usually tell who the casual audience was gonna vote for, so it was always better to go against it. And Marie won the one that mattered the most.
Decepticons winning splatfest was among the best.
typical Callie, relying on other more exciting things for her wins
So Marie is the casuals champion. Ok. So from that we can deride that it's Marie's fans fault for moray towers being selected for the final splatfest. I don't know about you but that's not something I'd be proud of.
So Marie is the casuals champion, Callie is the best, and there's a bunch of people that will pick Callie over Marie in order to win.

60% of Callie fans were fair weather fans and were only in it to win Splatfest, they were never in it for Callie herself or what she likes.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe

Don't lump me in with the rest of the playerbase with garbage map preference!

No. Just, no. There's nothing redeeming about that map... well maybe that it's not Flounder Heights.

Moray Towers is my favorite map. What don't you guys like about it? Maybe it's better for players using rollers?

So many good memories on moray towers 
Good old sniper battles and fun sneaking up the towers to splat snipers.
Good old sniper battles and fun sneaking up the towers to splat snipers.Marie fans had a higher win percentage too.
Lot of alternate facts in this post. Also, turf Moray is cool and good, not it's fault people don't leave the ramps.
I always voted for Marie's team, regardless of win or lose.
This was my first splatfest too. Made the win all the more special lol.

I hated Blue Fin Depot. I always dreaded getting that map.
Meh, it's still kind of interesting, where as port is just flat, boring, and prime for spawn camping.
Miyamoto isn't in charge of this game, so it's safe.
Whew, I'm glad to see others hating that map as much as I do. Moray and Bluefin suffer similar issues, but man do I dislike Bluefin more.
On a more positive note: I do hope they bring back Kelp Dome.

For me, even if wall climbing is one of the neater things about Splatoon, dealing with high and wide walls isn't fun. There's not a lot one can do while climbing, one is also extremely vulnerable while climbing, and if the wall gets high enough such that very few weapons can reach above the wall, then that's really bad. And as a rapid blaster main, I tend to cover walls very slowly compared to shooters, so high and wide vertical surfaces are doubly bad for me.
(But as a means of ambushing an enemy or an alternative means of maneuvering, wall climbing is awesome. Even if Kraken isn't coming back for Splatoon 2, I'm hoping there'll be another special that lets one paint and move along walls the same way.)
High drop downs are also a nasty penalty to work around. Even if one technically has high ground, dropping down with no way back up and few ways to maneuver is incredibly risky. The higher the drop down, the more time enemies have to watch you fall and either snipe you out of the air or leave a bomb under you. Basically the problems of having a predictable jump arc, except now with bonus time for enemies.
Most of the maps mentioned earlier have these kinds of traits:
Moray Towers has a lot of wall climbing but also features very high drop downs. Thankfully the new side areas give more room to maneuver, such that the most immediate way into mid isn't by dropping down into open view. Although the high drop down is most useful for snipers in mid, the high drop downs on the rest of the map are actually quite awkward for them.
Flounder Heights has really high and really wide structures, such that a majority of weapons in the game have trouble contesting the high areas from the street. There are other ways into mid besides the wall and ramp, but only the right side of your base (which also happens to be a drop down) is a realistic way out if the enemy controls the mid strip and the wall directly in front of your base.
Bluefin Depot has mandatory wall climbing and very few obstacles in mid. The fact that the walls are the only way out of the pits makes it easy to lock down a lot of movement.
Saltspray Rig has high drop downs as the only ways out of spawn, and most of the fighting after that takes place on narrow walkways going up hill.
