Lol, the thing is, Splatoon is not like C.O.D, and all the regurgitated trash that has been coming out recently, it is extremely team heavy. You cannot just go out, get kills and ink the floor and think that everything is all just fine. You absolutely HAVE to look out for your teammates, because if someone dies, and you just go on about your merry way, that is an opening anyone worth their salt is going to take advantage of. Now, yes, sometimes you get a pretty bad match, such as being on a team with 3 chargers and a single roller, it sucks, but it's likely to only happen a few times throughout the day. And, as far as unranked matches go, you're not going to come across some godlike team made up of a bunch of S+ pros that are going to welcome you into their numbers. Children play this game too, regardless of how often we may forget this. However, losing 24 times in a row on 24 different teams comprised of a moderate amount of randomly selected players seems to have one common denominator. . . I'll be a little more subtle than everyone with their "git gud". :]
Point is, learn to support your team, because yea, you got 1200p, but the guys that got 700-600p weren't getting any of your support, clearly, and were likely getting killed, ganged up on, and is likely the reason you lost. Don't get me wrong, there are times where you'll get a crappy match up, which is likely to happen in any online shooter. however, blaming it on your entire 24 losing streak on entirely different randomly selected players seems a bit far-fetched. And from the outside looking in, seems to be pointing to you.
EDIT: Also, make friends that seemingly know how to play the game, and you'll have even less to blame your losses on. :]

I grind 30 hours a week and feel little to no improvement. A good tip I can give is that anger can severely impact your decisions and become wayyy to anxious to get revenge. Take breaks when your head seems to catch fire.
When I first reached B-, it was absolute hell. Everytime I played, I would reach at least over 70-80 rank points, but then every game after that I lost terribly, and I almost got bumped down to C+. I took a break whenever I got lower than 30 rank points, which helped, but then the cycle of winning and losing continued for an entire month. But that was before the update!
I found that a good friend of mine also had Splatoon, and once the update came, we made a twin squad, and I got back on track to B, B+ and then finally A-, where I am now. What I learned in the process was that it definitely helps to have a good partner - especially one you can contact easily.
Turf Wars are fine for me, because I'm strong with the brush-type weapons and can carry a team of under-level-20s with moderate ease, unless they have absolutely no idea what they're doing (and/or don't use my goddamn beacons!!).

I recommend spamming "cmon!" to notify them that you set down beacons. Works like 18% of the time
I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

I got footage. http://www.zippcast.com/video/ce552bc2baf8fc60146
*edit*
Keep in mind this gameplay footage was A LONG time ago, and in no way, shape, and form believe the Octobrush is worthy anymore. At least for super duper competitive.

He's not wrong you know, the match making is pretty broken
