  • Splatoon 3 Top 500 Rank is already harsh enough if you don't get on good win streaks. In this case we do however its STILL harsh the higher you climb the ranks of X Battles. We use the Heavy Splatling Deco one of the newer Splatoon 3 Sizzle Season weapons to obtain passed Top 100 Rank till we hit a HUGE Wall...

    The rank X division created the worst scenarios and expanded the problem many people faced already in Splatoon 2
    The more players closer to each other the less likely are they to find both matches and climb the power ladder. When everyone was "suggesting":
    -less people in Rank X, get those "timmies" out of X
    -A rank above X for only 2400, only 2400 are good players
    Well welcome to rank X in Splatoon 3. But at least the greatest thing above all, We dont take heavy losses for losing 1 singular match.
    The match making, if it only relied on the players that you are close by, can not exist outside of Japan. When playing Splatoon 1 in 2018 and 2019 my matches were composed 99% of the time of Japanese players, and i live on the complete opposite of the country (that was even a gig during the Olympics, Japan Brazil)
    The active japan base player always passed us in anyway keeping them apart was a double edge sword. I have no clue to what to do to fix this entirely with what we have. All i know rank X is a anxiety cause if you want those badges.

      The problem with match making ive seen in both regions is that for example if you play a normal charger the game most likely will give the other team another charger and since usually 4k is played more, you get a match up in which you playing the shorter range charger are found at disadvantage, this is the case for most weapons, sometimes you will find yourself playing against a counter or you being the counter.
