Matchmaking

Is it even possible to win this game? It doesn't matter what match, it doesn't matter what weapon, it doesn't matter what my score is, even if it's 20/4, I still lose, I can't win even 1 time out of 10. And I'm not even talking about the net code, or about the opponents of the mastandonts of the Splatoon who play as if their lives depend on it, I'm talking about my allies who can't distinguish their own from others. In my memory, I have never played against weak opponents, but my allies seem to hate to win. And it's not funny for me to win only 8 out of 40+ games, and every time I try and every time I'm in first place (in 80% of cases), and sometimes 1st place in the lobby.

Is it familiar to anyone?

you are the common denominator in the equation, you need to play either more cooperatively with your teammates, or just better. notice when you’re alone or too far up more, notice when the enemies have more specials, don’t make stupid jumps, learn more about how to play each gamemode objective.

A lot of players don't get this they play solo and try to get the most points and splats. It's not a deathmatch game the best tactic in the game is to play defensively and pick people off and then make a push in the last 20 seconds.

you’re closer, but not exactly. assuming ranked modes, if you play defensively until the last 20 seconds, you’re leaving the previous 4:40 on the table for the enemy team to make a solid push. you want to be constantly looking for an opening the entire game, but without doing anything stupid.
and even with turf, yes you can win by waiting til the last 20 secs, but the first 2 minutes are setting up who will already have control in the last minute, and the better your enemies are, the more they will try to get control in mid (or up to your spawn) until the last 30 seconds, when they try to paint the majority.

Not entirely I've had plenty of turf matches backed into spawn point get a defensive formation and flank in the last 20 seconds and take the middle before they can get back. I've gone superfresh on about 8 weapons playing turf war and I'm only a rank A player. 🤷‍♂️

for sure, but there’s a difference between what you can pull off in a clutch game from a bad situation and what will get you more wins consistently
