A while back I read a thread about what Nintendo can do to fix North American splatfests. I am now convinced that they can do nothing to prevent the massively lopsided games. I am on team snowman because I thought the new update would help matchmaking. It didn't
In total, I had a net win of 1 battle, and only because I switched to the kelp charger. Even with a splatfest power starting at 1600 my teams were almost always awful. The only reason I started winning was because I found a team that went 6-0. I also used my alt to check team sand around 1600 points, and nearly every battle was sand v sand. This means people are only choosing the team they think will have fewer kids, so it doesn't matter which team would have a better/worse player base, one team is always filled with A through S+ players.
