Well since i've been in a losing streak recently, i thought i might come here again.
So after not playing splatoon for 2 weeks, obviously i wasn't expecting to win matches, but relearning my strategies would be easy?....Nah that'd be too simple xD
I got thrown into Pirahna Pit Splatzone's for the first time. Since it wasn't on turf, i was forced to try A+ rank Pirahna pit and optionally with the Sloshing Machine Neo. I'm not sure about how my team went, but all's i know is that we got beaten to a pulp, 3 Knock outs in a row weren't good for my rank, but personally I think i got to A+ and S by pure luck from great team members.
So i dropped into A rank, And I really see the skill difference. B+ tend to shoot a bit more inaccurately compared to A+ giving me more "reaction" time. Then i face these Smurf level 19 A- ranks tearing me apart with the Octobrush.
Never done any squad battles, and i don't think i'd want to either. I'm a bit of a selfish player that just does what i want to. So it's more of a "Deal with my strategy. And i'll learn your strategy some day" with teammates. Though that doesn't mean i don't listen to advice or commands. It's just i want to do what i think is best. But maybe that's why i'm in A rank and others are in A+ to S+ ranks xD
Oh yeah, on the subject of balanced teams. I remember getting total'd by an all Tentatek/Octoshot team when i underestimated them. Specifically when i underestimated them xD And our team was pretty well rounded as far as i can remember.
Since i'm unable to play Splatoon daily and only weekly, i'm a bit skeptical of whether i'll be dropping into A- or making it back to A+, Whichever it is, preferably, i don't want to go to B+ again xD
