my dumb data collection brain wants to take screenshots of the end results of millions of splatoon matches, and then analyze which areas on each map are most likely to be painted by either team, or most likely to be empty.
like take a rbg filter and put red for a team, blue for b team, and green for no paint. a spawn would be mostly red, b spawn would be mostly blue, the center would be mainly purple, and there would maybe be a few spots that are a very slight red-green or blue-green depending on which are less painted.
and I think the interesting part would come from seeing which spots are the most purple, and thus the most painted by both teams, for each map. especially on the ranked game modes, because the objective is not to paint the entire map, but rather to control certain areas of the map to score.
