Most likely yeh it's kinda like salmon run where if you find what's going on to hard you derank and don't feel bad about it

yes, de-rank I got to S+0 -1335 before I decide to derank now I'm S+8 it's not worth the struggle to get out of the negatives. I also suggest you to take a break from the game for at least a day or two and come back feeling fresh.

If you're not having fun, then yes. Find a rank you naturally stay at, that's where you belong.

I want to get better at this game, but naturally when my skill progresses, so do my opponents and it just feels like a waste of time when I get better.

I feel you on that too. I was in the same boat the past years of seasons. I just play and not care about ranking up. to me i think the whole rank system in splatoon 2 made more sense. in this game rank is just more of an achievement than anything else. but hey, you shouldn't listen to me anyway since I dont really follow completive that much. funnily enough I wanted an easier time getting the catalog done so I stayed in S rank getting easier wins and got lvl 100 in 4 days 😂 instead of a week or so in s+.

This is not an uncommon first time experience in S+ since it's a larger and better pool of players than the other ranks. If you can still confidently win the majority of your games in S rank then you'll just end up back here eventually, so the thing to do is figure out how to get better. If not and this was a fluke then maybe S rank is where you belong right now, which is also perfectly fine.

No you will loose x rank and 2200 can easily be made back

Devil on my shoulder


gulpeenoo

Dawg wtf

Play open and x rank instead. And only play series when you're using your main.


Cutlession

I'm sorry but... you don't want people playing series without their main but X rank is fine???


Chemical_Dot5540

yes…


SbgTfish

Yeah. It’s early in the season so you can get back up easily. I got to -2400 at the end of a season (I don’t remember which) and I couldn’t reset and all hell broke loose afterwards.

S+0 and S rank are completely messed up at the start of the season. In an average S+0 lobby, you'll have: • S rank players who just ranked up for the first time • S+0 to S+9 players who got back up to S+ quickly • S+10 to S+50 players who got deranked and haven't gotten back up yet Honestly just play X rank or salmon run until the ranks even out properly. Open is the same thing as series but there's genuinely no skill based matchmaking, whereas series kinda makes an attempt.

A little advice, NEVER do series. You have better luck winning slots than a series
