I use the expression as in 'claim to fame' - in other words, why do you have the rank that you do, or, otherwise, why do you think you should have a higher one (if you have the unfortunate experience of being stuck in a rank in which you outplay opponents consistently but still lose a lot)? Name your best or a couple of your best traits in playing.
For example, you might be relatively poor at playing the objective, but your consistent shots with a charger keep you in your rank. Or you could be fantastic at turf control and mobility, even if you can't consistently take out opponents on your own. Alternately, you could be an all-rounder who generally matches the skill level required of your rank.
In my case, I find that a disproportional amount of splats I get come from Splat Bombs (when I'm using them). Generally, my Sub weapon usage is my strong suit, and my ability to get bombs where I want them to land seems to outdo that of most S-rankers; even if I'm not using Splat Bombs, I still help take enemies out with Burst Bomb splash damage or consistently support teammates with the non-offensive Subs. If I don't have enough ink to use my Sub or am on my own and lack an offensive Sub, I tend to be sub-par in combat.
