So i was playing splatoon, i m a noob (yes i admit that), and after hours of training i finally make myself to A- rank .

anyway, sometimes i m really really pissed that they put me to battle with S rank players, which i get killed more than 10 times in a match. i can deal with this, until TODAY, which i battle with 2-3 S rank players while my team only have A ~ A-. i tried to quit and rejoin but god damn it i am always in the team that has similar rank with me (around A-) but my oppenent always have more than 2 S~S+. i lost 8 battle continuely and i am so pissed as i know this can simply be modify by nintendo to make the battle more "fair" by allocate higher rank player to each team equally instead all putting them all in the same team. (For example if they have 2 S+,let each team has 1 S+ player.

i know this only happens occasionally, but it happened to me 8 times IN A ROW today and i ended up dropping to B+ again.

what i want is them to make the game fair.

Pssst, you still there? Over here....

After the discovery of a hacker going around corrupting people's save files, I decided to back up my save file. That got me thinking: why not use this back up to restore my rank if I suffer a bad spell of losses?

Do it now not only to guard against hackers but also to restore your rank: copy your Splatoon save over to your USB drive and unplug the USB from your console before loading the game up and going into ranked mode. After having a bad spell of losses, you can delete your file from your console, plug in your USB drive and copy the old file to your console. Your rank will be restored! Be warned though: any money and leveling up you've done as well as purchases and such will be deleted as well. Shouldn't be too much of a problem since losses don't get you much money and don't level you up as much either. Still, use with discretion and be sure that your USB drive is ejected properly. If you have multiple USB drives lying around, feel free to use multiple. You can never be too safe.

Good luck!

Is this honestly a thing? If so, I'm surprised they haven't fixed it...



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

The reason a lot of us go wtf when Nintendo does things is pretty much culturally explained. Unlike Sony, Nintendo doesn't really let anyone outside of their inner circle in Japan make decisions. This causes a problem when trying to please western consumers.

Considering your rank doesn't unlock anything (your level does the unlocking), I have a sneaking suspicion the rank was put there to match you with other equally competent players. This theory of mine is supported by the fact that ranked isn't unlocked until level 10 after you've gotten a handle of the controls and the gameplay. In addition, after a round, your rank will go up and down to a degree proportional to the average ranks of your team compared to the ranks of your opponents. For example, beating a higher-ranked team will net your team a big boost in rank and cost the opposing team just as much. Conversely, losing to a higher-ranked team costs you less rank and gives the opposing team less too.

Unfortunately, sometimes people get too hung up on their rank going down when it's probably not their fault.

For those who care enough though, I've posted in this thread a means to restore rank if one has suffered an unlucky streak of losses.

The Octoling hack or the ranking exploit?

Ranking exploit. It doesn't make sense to me why they would store your ranking info as a personal save file.

No, everything goes in one file: makes things simple so using the ranking exploit means you delete EVERYTHING and replace it with another EVERYTHING except a better ranking.
