It shouldn't be. Because Arms puts you in like a room of players. You will never be alone.

Nintendo hires people to play the game when there is not enough people to fill a lobby in a given area?
That is what it would take to ensure a game like ARMS can reliably be played online.
ARMS didn't sell that well.

Now that pool of available players is going to be reduced considerably.
Anecdotally: many people bought the game, and either didn't play it much, or have stopped playing it.
Given the entire ARMS player-base aren't in one region.
It is unlikely that there will be enough people in countries like Australia, to reliably fill a room.
ARMS matches will either be very hard to find, and/or between people who aren't in the same region.
A large distance between players, leads to high ping, which leads to a worse overall user experience.
(Assuming you can find a match)

In Splatoon 2 and Arms. Australian players play with a lot of Japanese players, so I think Nintendo decides to combine those 2.
And have you played Arms? Because in my reply to you I meant it by the game will put people in a room that has a capacity of 8+ players. If a room have only 3 people, the game will start placing people who just booted up the game and go online into that room.
