Yeah it doesn't have as often to me, but losing players doesnt happen in ranked. So hopefully you get level 10 soon or play with friends for a better experience. Also maybe the losing is on you xD , tips: wall don't count in Splatoon, playing single player mode helps a lot, you can super jump back to spawn to retreat from someone who is after you, if you use duelies you can roll right when you land with the super jump so you don't get immediately killed, you can use splashdown while in super jump, etc.

I'm level 15 and doing 1200 points each round....while my teammates are around 600.... I only like splatzone on ranked...but if we loose, then definitely not because of me.

There's tournaments all the time, so probably today.

If you mean a major, in that case I don't know.

In the first game it was based on your points (either in turf war or ranked), can't say for sure about 2 but I assume it's the same.

There's a lot of viable weapons in ranked modes, so it's hard to recommend anything - the only general idea is to stay away from weapons with too short range / low damage (like Splattershot Jr. or Aerospray) as those aren't good for combat, though even then I've seen players doing wonders with those in the past. And as for strategies, again I think that depends a lot on the map/mode and on your teammates too. What you should always keep in mind is trying to play very safe, and remember to focus on covering turf rather than only going for the objective - having control over the map goes a long way towards victory. If you see enemy ink, don't get close, just try to cover it from a distance as there's always the chance of an enemy popping up.

Other than that, my strategy is to just try to complement my teammates. If I notice they're going for the objective all the time, I'll try to stay behind and make sure we don't lose stage control; if I see the match is already running for 2 or 3 minutes and we haven't barely moved the timer, I'll try to do it on my own whenever it feels right.

(I guess these hints apply more to Tower Control and Rainmaker than Splat Zones, but that's because I don't always play Splat Zones since it's my least favorite mode, Turf War included.)

I feel like I havent really found the right weapon combination for me yet. In the original I used to do damage with 1000 - 1300 points consistently, but now in Splaton 2  I often do much less than that, but have significantly more kills than before. I feel like they tweaked the game to be slightly more agressive. The maps that carried over from the original also seem to be the ones that favor aggressive play.

In the original I used to favor the Splattershot jr./Zappers, so I've been playing mostly duelies for now because I prefer the fast fire rate, but they're not that great for raking in turf war points. I rarely find myself hitting 1000+ and usually do around 800 to 900+, but find myself around 600+ way too often with them.

I also had more dropped teammates lately, wich is annoying.
