I need advice.

Even then, thinking about that rank is a source of worry and pressure over your head, and I guarantee you'll perform better and win more if you can forget you're being ranked at all.

I don't see the pressure as a negative thing. It's what makes it an overall experience for me. As weird as it sounds, I like the pressure, I like that it makes threaten my Gamepad with it's life, and I like that it's part of the challenge for me.

It fills a purpose that I'm looking for in gaming. I play Wind Waker to relax and solve puzzles, I play Xenoblade Chronicles to adventure around and immerse myself in a new world, and I play Splatoon to challenge and pressure myself to develop a relatively pointless skill set (pointless but fun!).
