At Award, there is a reason why you mainly see pure dmg up headgear, with cold-blooded swim and ink-resist swim for high-tier 52 players. Some may even switch to cold-blooded dmg ups for absolute guaranteed 2hko against heavy defense up players.

I honestly think it's lag as I have seen the POVs of comp. players that deal with the same thing at times.

Bubblers are mainly annoying, but a good player can dance around the bubble for a long time wasting the player's special. Even if the good player died, the bubbler was delayed from pushing objective much at all. I think it is a nice strategic special to have as you can not only push objective...

To be honest, all modes have their issues, not just rainmaker at S/S+ ranks. If my teammates are not good at protecting me when I have rainmaker, I try not to get the rainmaker the next few times and focus on getting ink control of map and inking a nice straight path for the rainmaker. If I...

The time of day does make a difference. Typically 2-6PM PST, I have noticed the matches are slightly easier on average. 8PM-2AM PST, the matches are very intense. After 2AM PST, the matches are slightly easier again. Keep in mind, things may vary a bit depending on what maps/modes you have to...

I feel that A+ ranks should be locked as well the S and S+ rank lobbies. A- vs A from my experiences did not vary as much, but things may have changed since I have been high A+ to mid-S rank for a good 4 months. I have played ranked solo q for a good week, but as I mentioned in a different...

I understand your concern, but I think it still will be all good as if you get into S+ rank, that means you are probably at least high S rank material overall since you been beating S ranked players for the most part. If you are not good enough, you will lose to S+ rank players and drop down...

Last night I could definitely see an improvement where matches were a lot closer for most of the time and there was good back and forth retakes for zones on d'Alfonsino and Underpass. Splat zones usually is a big hit or miss on solo q, but last night went pretty well albeit still the same issue...

Alt account as others have pointed out is to practice certain weapons they want to learn or possibly try out new whacky builds/metas, but not risk losing points or their rank on their main account. Starcraft II pro players do it all the time and other games are no different really. Some also...

I know that Starcraft II has an MMR system where if you are a high Gold/Platinum rank alt account and winning like crazy, you will be matched up with high diamond/master level players. CS:GO also has an MMR system in place where ranks can vary +/- 2 slots where it will place you vs. 1-2 level...

I think the first few times especially when you de-rank from S rank are the hardest since you worked so hard to get there and now you have the A+ next to your name to remind you that you are not good enough or nearly consistent enough to hold your S rank. After the first few times, you kind of...

I feel that the upcoming 2.6 update will mitigate the frustration where the squad-carried S players will eventually be pushed back into A or A+ where they belong. I think it is too early to create S- rank for now as Nintendo does not have data how hard or long it takes for S or S+ rank only...

As for modes, I can give you a few tips: Splat Zones: Try your hardest not to die on the zone as you will spill out enemy ink on the spot you died on. This may sound minor, but has definitely been enough to cost me close zones matches. Tower Control: Stealth jump/super jump is pretty popular...

I would focus first on ink control mainly and focusing on the objective. Having at least mid-control and your spawn area inked is really important as it makes it harder for enemies to advance and push objective. Your aim will get better over time after getting used to the motion controls (feels...
