    Anyone Else Getting Sent on Losing Streaks All of a Sudden?

    Except I notice when my winning streaks aren't because of me either, and it's not hard to tell because my power/meter gains are minimal over many matches in a row. I, like many others I've seen, tend to win/lose matches in runs that fluctuate abruptly even within the same play session. The very...

    Anyone Else Getting Sent on Losing Streaks All of a Sudden?

    You're correct in that the extreme case you presented is not likely to happen, but it does not take that wide a power gap to result in a stomp, probably no more than a 100-200, which absolutely happens often. The game knows if a stomp is likely to occur otherwise there would not be situations...

    Anyone Else Getting Sent on Losing Streaks All of a Sudden?

    I'm sorry but I disagree. It's not simply winning or losing streaks that happen, it's the game putting teams together where the power level of one outweighs the power level of the other, and it does so multiple times in a row. You can tell based on how much power you gain or lose at the end of a...

    Anyone Else Getting Sent on Losing Streaks All of a Sudden?

    That's something that really baffles me actually. These problems are not subtle which means either they're not paying attention, they can't fix it, or they won't fix it. I mean come on, the very point of ranked is to pit you against players of your skill level, so if your winrate isn't around...

    Anyone Else Getting Sent on Losing Streaks All of a Sudden?

    Starting a week or two ago, my win rate in ranked was consistently 50% or higher. Now it's hovering around 40% and below and I honestly don't know what's going on. I've seen some other people having similar issues but I don't know how widespread it is. I'm certain it's at least in part due to...

    Splatoon 2 Rank X Calculating Period Question

    It turns out you do not. No clue if it has to do with the fact that I ranked up a day before the reset, but the ranks are still intact.

    Splatoon 2 Rank X Calculating Period Question

    Quick question. I ranked up to X in two modes literally yesterday and the rank X reset is today. I'm still going to be in the calculating period when that happens. Does anyone know if I'm going to get ranked down automatically because of that? I can't find info on that specifically anywhere.

    Splatoon 2 On Clam Blitz, Futility, and Demoralization

    Oooo my condolences. One thing I noticed is that if you're not aggro all the time, the match can get away from you bc the enemy is more focused on gathering clams than your team is if they're going by strict defense for long enough. Special chaining is also an issue. Specials are incredibly...

    Splatoon 2 On Clam Blitz, Futility, and Demoralization

    It's annoying because some pretty simple changes would improve the situation by a lot. Like in Musselforge, and Humpback, adding a step under the basket so you can get behind it without having to go around or superjump to spawn would be a godsend. And side note, but they tried to fix blackbelly...

    Splatoon 2 On Clam Blitz, Futility, and Demoralization

    You're right about the strength of the first push playing into it. I did notice that if a team scores only with the power clam, the game's momentum doesn't shift very much, but like you said, if a high-scoring push is conducted, that's a different story more in line with what I said I think. I...

    Splatoon 2 How do I get better at the game?

    It helps me to watch high level tournament play to see how how advanced players position themselves and make plays. It helps that the commentators are usually familiar with the game and point out the reason a certain set of plays either did or did not work. As for aim, the testing range really...

    The Dead(er) Sea: Saltiest Catch

    How are losing streaks possible in ranked? Seriously, how? Isn't the point to place you with players around your skill level? If that's the case, then why would your winrate ever be substantially below 50% unless you're simply playing very badly on a certain day? I ask this because I just came...

    Splatoon 2 Why Do People Suck at Communicating

    What rank are you? Not everyone knows you can superjump with the clam, and even if they do, there's no guarantee they're paying enough attention to know where you are exactly by checking the map on a regular basis. It's super aggravating I know.
