You may think that you carried me to the person I am, but in reality, you're very much at fault for the problems I'm struggling with today. Negative reinforcement is ineffective against depression, and positive reinforcement from better people is why I'm truly still here. Also, to a different...

Why do you suppose the opposing team is less likely to have a custom jr.?

I think squidboards uses Xenforo as the base. Given how many sites use Xenforo, there's a huge inscentive to find vulnerabilities in it, and as such various vulnerabilities are spotted from time to time, but they're incredbly hard to find. When such vulnerabilities are found, the risk of viruses...

Most of the competitive audience is in japan, so once you reach 2 standard deviations from the mean, you're more likely to get paired with them. This is why japanese names are more common at higher ranks. I see you guys are starting to misrepresent my argument so I'll reiterate: Matchmaking in...

sigh Unlike many other aspects of internet, ping is affected by physical distance. It's about how quickly data gets from you to your opponent. Even with fiber optic cables, necessary relays introduce lag, making long-distance connections have a slower ping than short-distance connections. The...

Spot-on explanation of how the system works, I have very little to append to this. I will note that you confused several people by mixing up the cause and effect here--it matches you to local players as an effect of trying to reduce lag, not the other way around. You also missed the explanation...

1) undertale 2) metal gear solid 3) hatsune miku I've seen all of these on miiverse, some just as much as the furries, and it's much harder to draw a connection to these than with tf2 or overwatch.

One "not miiverse" post that's clearly in a lighthearted and joking manner demonstrates as much distolerance as a widespread dislike of the furry comments, manifested in every corner of the english-speaking splatoon community? I don't think so. EDIT: added quote box to make it clearer who this...

Suggestive posts should be reported, these definitely have no place. As for the actual furry posts, we just have to accept that it happens. Nothing you say or do will ever reach all of the furries, and a large portion of them would ignore it regardless. If you find the standard, SFW furry posts...

Sometimes the team can be bad in an individual-game basis, especially in the case of a DC. All I'm claiming is that if you feel like it's happening more often than not, you're doing something wrong yourself.

Usually it only takes one person to block a flank caused by an overextention attempt. Develop map awareness, and this can be you--I've prevented many comebacks this way myself.

Turnarounds like this are very common from what I've seen. The aforementioned domination gets to the team's head and leads them to overextend a lot, allowing for a flanking attack by a single person to cause your position to fold in on itself. The best way to prevent this from happening in solo...

Sample size of 1, this is just as likely to happen in the reverse if you're as good as you think you are. The enemy team had 2 really good players that took the center and carried, the bottom two of their team did about just as bad as the bottom two of your team. The only reason your team had...

Statistically speaking, it's not even a necessity to carry. You just need to be more beneficial to the team as a whole than the average player, and this can include support roles.

Sorry for the clickbaity title. I couldn't think of any non-clickbaity one, unless I were to post an objectively wrong title. When I meet a splatoon player that just started, a significant portion of the time the first words I hear from them are along the lines of "My team is crap!". This...
