Splatfest power is so weird. It seemed like this time around every win raised it by 20 and every loss dropped it by 50. I went 14-6 for Team Squid since my power got calculated, but even now it's barely above where it started

Everyone starts with the same Splatfest power before they finish placements right? Or does level/rank boost your initial starting point? Didn’t figure it out during my first Splatfest last month

Okay that explains why winning all my placements but one still put me super low, thank you!

Got Octo Queen with 2228.1 power and a record of 18-12. Last-Ditch Effort is REALLY GOOD in Splatfests, don't sleep on it

This splatfest I’ve had more legitimately almost-tied games (3% or less difference in coverage at the end) than I’ve ever seen before in any context. Most of them we lost, too. I’d almost rather get decisively clobbered.

Nice matchmaking Nintendo I have no idea how we won this.

Went 17-6 for Team Squid, I hate to give wins to Pearl but I made it to King super quick this time.

Ugh, had a decent run at the start, but pretty much upon getting into champion I just started getting awful losing streaks.

You have a hidden matchmaking rating in Turf Wars in Splatoon 2 (it didn't exist in Splatoon 1). Pretty sure it's based off of that.

I got placed in the 2000s, did nothing but loose all the way down to like 1700 and now i'm almost all the way back up. matchmaking is weird, and i'm a bad, swingy player

Man I wanna love this game so much and play it more but I get so drat frustrated, I can't carry the game by myself and my teammates don't ever seem to understand the controls I'd have to make premade groups to have fun with it and I'm too lazy to do that. At least in some ranked modes I'm A+ or S and I get matched on teams with competent players, but I'm still like D in clam and gently caress trying to grind that up, and splatfest is a total crapshoot

There's nothing worse than losing a match because your idiot teammates wouldn't come back to help paint home turf, opting instead to eternally super jump to their deaths

This game is like up there with mario kart in the ability for you to be dominating the match for 99% of the game and then at the last second have it all taken away from you
|
# ? Jul 22, 2018 01:28 |

Yeah, if you have a halfway competent team and can murk 3/4 of the enemy team with 20-30 seconds left to go, that's pretty much an instant win

It's easy to blame others and harder to realize when to lay the blame on yourself, try to focus on ways in the future you can do better personally

It's easy to blame others and harder to realize when to lay the blame on yourself, try to focus on ways in the future you can do better personally I've been playing since splatoon 1. I understand that. But when you consistently have 2 players getting 9-15 kills and 2 players with 0-2 kills it really hurts. Its a team game. You personally cannot do everything. Matchmaking could be much better than it is, it can still be a fun game and have flaws.

I am lamenting that in clam and in splatfest the game is basically unplayable for me. So I have to just stop playing until tower control, rainmaker, or control zones comes up. That's unfortunate. I can't even choose to not participate in splatfest or clam and play other modes, because of how splatoon picks for you and only has 1 thing available.
