(I'm going to assume that the netcode and matchmaking are the same or similar for Splatoon 3, so I decided to mark this as a general discussion about Splatoon 3.)
The online multiplayer in Splatoon 2 is designed to provide a better experience for players with poor connections. However, this is achieved by slowing down the connection, regardless of the speed of the player's internet. Is this a bad thing? It depends. For players who live in areas with poor internet connectivity and for whom implementing a server could be expensive, this solution works well enough. But for players on the other end of the spectrum, the $20 price tag doesn't help. So what can we learn from this? If you want to avoid these problems, go to events and play in LAN mode. These issues will not arise in that scenario. The only solution for that problem is to try organize events and talk to people that can organize one, and the bitter truth is not the best solution, but can is that we can do.
