While the Kraken definitely has its uses for the ranked modes (The invincibility alone makes it good for defending a tower and zones, and its killing power makes people think twice), I'd say the Squid Beacon is the bigger weakness of the Krak-on. With a Kraken special and by very nature as a roller, it's obviously meant for close quarters. The Squid Beacon requires it to leave the fighting to set up, and deprives it of a good explosive for support. Burst bombs or Splat bombs would really make the Krak-on shine, but I just don't see the beacon being a particularly useful option for it in ranked. (It's a bit more useful in the less combat intensive Turf War, but I'd still say it holds the Krak-on back because there are now weapons better suited to dropping beacons)
