Splatoon 2 Rank "X" is ahead: Discussion thread

[mercenariez]

I don’t understand your logic at all sorry. If you lose 7 games during calculation and you get 1800 power, that’s supposed to mean the game has been tracking your power from the first Splatfest? What if you were just facing very difficult teams and so didn’t deserve too low of a power to start?

Furthermore, why would Splatfest power have anything to do with the upcoming X rank power? Let’s >>suppose<< League battle stored power levels from the start (note: it actually doesn’t), why would I then jump to the conclusion that X rank is gonna be the same? They’re different modes, just cuz they do it one way with one mode doesn’t mean it’s gonna be that way with a new mode.

The game has been tracking your power since the first splatfest, and in the next one it will put you in lobbies based off of where you ended after the last one (roughly). The way power level works is if you beat an easy team, your power goes up only a little whereas winning against a hard team it goes up a lot. So this also applies to losing. If you lose to a bunch of teams that have a power level way higher than yours, it will not affect you that much. If you lose against teams at or below your level that's where you start to really get hit. And about Splatfest power relating to ranked and league, I was just answering MotorGamer's question about splatfest power being your "normal power" implying ranked power level. The answer of course is no, and if you were also answering his question, then why because I already did and it's just a yes or no question. No need to make anyone feel stupid.
