maybe ur just a scrub
It happens, and it happens a lot. Their ranked system is wonky; If you wanna keep your rank, just stop playing once you hit a losing streak. There's no way to recover, and you'll see my frustration in my previous posts. I don't know what the **** their algorithm is for the matchmaking, but it sucks balls. When you lose, you LOSE.
in all seriousness though, there's a huge difference between being salty and downright insanity. You're claiming the game is conspiring against you. I lost my S rank after fighting in ranked for the first time in weeks, but them immediately got it back in 5 or so matches. It is a coincidence no matter how you put it. Sorry, but there's no programming yet found in the game that shows it tries to make certain people lose, it's just not there.
He's just ranting. We all do. The reason I made this thread is so that we could all vent when we hit a losing streak and support each other. Ridiculous? Maybe. Is there anything wrong with it? I don't think so. I feel the same way he does sometimes. Of course, there's no way that Splatoon is out to get him and wants him to lose, but the losing streaks in this game are so terrible, you can't help but feel that way. I'm not saying to pat him on the back and tell him it'll be alright, but try to at least understand where he's coming from. I doubt you were too happy when you dropped from S rank, and I know I wasn't the many times it's happened to me. But when a man's feeling down, the best option usually isn't to kick him in the face.
Yes, that's what I've been saying for a while, though perhaps not how you're taking it.

Unfortunately if things were that easy, we'd have questionable ranked players everywhere. People's ranks would not be reflecting their current skill (Ior improvised teamwork) level, a higher rate of team imbalance (In terms of skill). I can't imagine how much more "Salt" would be thrown at the game... probably enough to fill Saltspray rig? (You can shoot me now xD It's way too common to even laugh at..).I actually think Nintendo did a good job at the points system.
Sorry man ... totally feeling your pain!
I'm gonna stick to my original NNID, but I appreciate your concern. I feel that if I play against lower ranked players, I'll never get any better against the players in my actual rank (which basically makes it a Turf War equivalent to me).
That's a lot of devotion just to take out your anger. It wouldn't work for me though, since I'm not actually fighting the person.
I know what you mean. I've been somewhat concerned about that too, but on my main account—which as you may recall I created because I got sick of the shenanigans on my former main account—I got up to S in about a week and didn't have any problems playing at that level when I got back up there. In the lower ranks there are definitely times where I get used to the level of play and get sloppy, but it only takes a few games of getting embarrassingly splatted to get back on track. It's like riding a bicycle, no? :)
I don't know if you'd like this at all, but there's an excellent gamer who has a series of videos entitled 'S-Rank Adventures' which I found entertaining and educational. He goes from C- up to S.
