How is Ink Vac only B rank? Pretty amazing special weapon when backed into a corner, attempting a push, or are defending tower. Sure, people can hit you from the rear end however most of the time if positioned correctly you can be able to block out attempts like that. Ink vac can be used for many strategical plays so it should at least be like C rank.
