Well unless they actually are hacking as in using illegal means to sway a match to their side. Technically it shouldn't have too much of an effect if it is high tier players playing low leveled accounts since teams are still very much randomly selected without taking into account rank or skill.
Lol, what? Or, maybe just maybe, they grasp the concept of the game. Not everyone is absolute trash when they start. Quite the assumption you've got there.
Some people just need an excuse. ;)
There's no inherent advantage for the minority team in terms of skill, though. (Just look at Japan's Splatfests, where the trend is the opposite of what it is here.) That's why I wonder if the reason that the minority team keeps getting a higher win percentage here is due to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This could explain why the level 7 player I've met the other day was already really good at the game.
Hunger Game dome map for Splatoon, please
According to the news, there are those who are creating new accounts and, considering there must be some algorithim that decides matches, the potential is there for that to occur. Of course there is no control over the matter, except self, which is the point of the comment originally. Those who do this are creeps.

Anyways, I've got my Pizza Queen, but I'm still not entirely content with it. I've never gotten below a +20 in ANY Splatfest. This one was just. . . so bad.
There were FAR too many games where I as a Hydra had to push to get anything done. While people with Tentateks and N-Zaps partied in the back I guess. I got my 18 Sea Snails though. I'd prefer 24, but you just gotta take what you're given. Done playing for the night. Lol, that was pretty bad.

That's what I did. I knew Team Burger would be less popular, and I wanted to fight the opposing team without any mirror matches. Got my wish: made it to King, big winning streak, only disconnected once, no mirror matches.
It's so weird. I've never experienced this kind of lag in Splatoon before so it really caught me off guard that there was so much of it this time. Still powered through and managed to get to Queen~ ^.^"
Far from empty assumptions, and not my creation.
People don't want to admit that US ISPs are terrible. Admittedly with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, and Time Warner as the only Big Providers in the country (barring Google Fiber), it's not difficult to see why lag is such an issue.
Lol, so it's a fact those people were smurfing? Or are you just making an assumption on nothing other than they were doing good?
The level of competition in this splatfest was definitely a lot higher than what I'd seen in free battles the past couple of days, so as a casual who got destroyed, I agree with you on that last point. I'm not really sure if there's a solution to that though. I mean, I feel like Nintendo wants everyone to be a part of the splatfest, so they probably aren't going to only open it up to certain ranks.
I was one of the low level people on Team Pizza, sorry about that. I've only had the game for a couple of days and I wanted to see what a Splatfest was like.
