First off, I would like to give you my biggest respect for staying devoted and optimistic even with this big losing streak. As a S+7 player, I’ve definitely went through something like this during my experience- YOURE LEVEL 117 ?!

Youre going to have the same problems in x rank. It doesnt matter if you are B- or X2200 you have to learn how to cover for the weaknesses of your teamates. Remember that your teamates are also human and make mistakes!

GL on your journey to x!!!

do not blame yourself for being bad. Do not blame your teammates for being bad either. Blame is unproductive, and multiplayer games aren't even about being good, they're about improving. If you actively try to improve every game, you will improve. A simple change in your mindset should have the potential to make significant changes in your skill, and I hope you'll be able to get better and have fun at the game.

@SonicKai2003

completely agree. throwing blame does nothing, just worry about yourself and what you can do to improve

The Splatoon 3 matchmaking has been terrible for a long time, the worst thing is that they had said that they were supposed to improve it in this game. The truth is that the only way to rank up most of the time is carry your team but even with that you can lose, you'd be surprised how many people don't take the game seriously, even in X Rank I had teams with poor performance and weapon picks. There was a time where I also thought I had gotten worse at the game, no matter what game mode I played or what weapon I chose, I always lost. But then I started to analyze my games and I really wasn't playing badly, even in those games where the opposing team crushes you against a wall, I was able to defend myself.

This is such a fickle game. Sometimes I can tell when I make misplays, but other times I feel helpless to sway the game, as though I’m just fated to lose for one reason of another that’s beyond my control. That said, I know when I get into a defeatist mindset I’m going to make worse game play choices and only spiral, so I go play turfwars instead.

Hey Kai! Been a while since we last spoke (the Ted server lmao) and in that time I’ve actually gotten to S+! Before, I was in the same position and around -400 points in debt, but I promise you that it’s very possible to climb out of it! You just gotta keep pushing, and if you find yourself losing a lot in series, try playing a bit of open! Might not seem like much, but the stakes are much lower and can help you rethink how you play if you find yourself repeating the same mistakes over and over! You got this!

Congrats on getting back up there!! Once you get up to higher ranks, good decision-making becomes the most important factor in whether or not you win. Keep analyzing your gameplay the way you demonstrate in this vid and youll do great =)

thanks, I appreciate the kind words

not even a minute in and i'm hearing myself The rage is REAL

these people act the exact same in Turf War, believe me.

43:38 The wave breaker actually does contact damage and you touch it that's why it killed you. Don't ever touch a wave breaker if you can help it because it can kill you very very quickly if you do.

I feel the pain in this video severely, only difference is Im in S+, but I am in severe debt right now. The upside is this taught me to focus a lot less on “winning” and earning points, but more in learning how I can improve and genuinely play my best every game regardless of how good my teammates are. It made me tilt less and genuinely enjoy the game more

For the clams match on Inkblot, the enemy team kept getting in because someone placed beakons. Check your map from time to time to see if there are any and go break them

the halcyon days of everyone holding W and not aiming

There are questionable times in Rainmaker/Tower control where me, a backliner Heavy Splatling user has to be forced to act in mid/frontliner because sometimes the situation calls for it. Whenever that happens, I just question everything. Granted, I'm more into Salmon Run than Anarchy (majority of my playtime hours are spent on Salmon Run, trying to get max hazard exclusively freelance. Not possible with friends, they aren't as passionate for the mode) but I'm currently in S (also exclusively freelance unless friend wants to queue up) trying to get at least S+ for the badge and it's just an uphill battle. Keep up the fight bro.

I had a -1000 S rank score and wanted to reset my rank. Instead I decided to switch my main weapon to Octobrush with max. fast respawn. Sometimes I even lost by an average of 20 kills. But if you have decent to good teammates, you can focus more on the objective rather than the kills. Which made it a lot easier. At one point in Manta Maria we won a Rainmaker game under 50 seconds. Right now I'm at S rank, about +200 points. I only play Anarchy mode, which I know I'm good at. Moral of the story: Use Octobrush with maxed out fast respawn.

@wilpalkia

I don’t know what it is but whenever I attempt the rank up to S+ it’s like I’m facing tournament demons. I get one win at most, then the other 2 wins are just pure fantasy. I’ve been keeping track, and after 43 rank up attempts this season. Yes *43* I finally lucked out and unlocked X Battle Now I have -800 in S+ Anarchy. Conventional deranking not existing in this game is such a weird detriment to the rank experience

I agree. Not being able to derank really messes up the progression system. At the very least we should be able to rank reset whenever we want, I don't understand why we're only given 1 reset every season.

I just got to S rank and the first series i played after that was a losing sweep. Im scared to continue cuz i dont wanna get point debt but this video was very helpful and enlightening as to what i could do if i do get point dept.

Ofc, I'm glad I could provide you with some motivation ^^

Nice to see that this struggle is real for everyone (though I don't mess with Clam Blitz). I've kinda given up on hitting S+ this season, but I'm still going out it. It's been a cycle of getting in and out of negatives.

Honestly, I've been there before. The wall from A to S is kinda steep. I ended up just climbing my way out, and that worked well for me. I'm not sure that I really see much point in demoting, I am much much better than b ranked players - I know this because I often play with my brother. For that matter I'm much much better than A rank players. However I'm much worse than many s rank players, and I've never been x rank before. I just don't see much reason to reset the rank, as I've now earned the right to play against the better players, and as much as I get schooled regularly, it helps me learn and progress as I test my metal against theirs. Saying all that, as one player to another, IF you wanted to work on one thing that is clearly your weakest spot. you should work on your mental game. It's imperative that you enter each game with no baggage from the last, and not to be let down when your team preforms poorly. For a number of those early games you made some serious mistakes, and the things you said were always blaming the teammate, the lag, the matchmaking. I'm not saying those things don't contribute. They do. But mostly, these things are uncontrollable, and focusing on them takes away from the lessons you could learn by focusing on yourself... that and you'll just have more fun if the takeaway is what you did better than last game rather than what went wrong. Good luck on the last leg of your journey to X!

Its ok. It took me a FEW tries to get into X. But when you do it'll be great.

I was S+ -6000 this season. I was S+10 last. Biggest thing is to not play series. The penalty for losing is too great. In the long run not worth it. The match making sucks

Thanks for the motivation to get back on my 17 level streak on side order

The exact same thing happened to me, I got all the way down to -400 until I tried using a different weapon in a completely different class, sometimes that’s all it takes, now I’m able to go to S+

I've been in the negatives for a while and recently broke positive and even ranked up to S+. All I had to do was change my main and I was on a winning streak. Advice: Watch replays and try to mimic the playstyle of someone who you got splatted by a lot. It helped. I went from a Carbon Deco main who only played Rainmaker to a Luna Neo main who only plays Clam.

Any chance you'd be interested in finding a more rounded build you can use on all game modes? Seems like a shame to limit yourself to a single game mode for a single weapon

Man S Rank sucks, ive smurfed in S rank and can get around 20 kills a game and still went 4-3 in series twice in a row

I'm seeing thst you sort of separate yourself from your team in order to take fights. they have less support and get splatted, which leaves nobody defending the objective. other times instead of pushing up with your time you use your special and just wait. there are many instances where you couldn't really have won or had a bad team comp or players but this is just stuff I noticed
