😂 try changing weapons when you're on a losing streak

Leave the lobby & find a new one. Matchmaking is straight garbage.

This is what i do. After 3 losses in a row, ill change lobbies.
I do it if I see a deadweight on my team or the other team, since I may get stuck with them next round.

Same. If it's a 3v4 match, I leave right away as well. I've had lobbies that go 3v4 multiple rounds.
Doesn't mean it belongs here.
Splatoon is probably the only multiplayer game that makes it advantageous to outnumber the other team. So for the disconnects, I don't blame the game, but the hardware. The Switch's Wifi is AWFUL, and has been since Day 1. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not paying attention.

A 4v3 match no less.
So, for someone like me that never had a problem, I'm not 'paying attention'.
Maybe it's just you and a few others having problems instead of it being a wide problem like you keep pushing.
Nah, that dude didn't disconnect until the very end. Probably because I splatted him half a dozen times.
I did the exact same thing was on a 6 game lose streak and switched to tri-slosher lol. Don't even need to aim with the weapon.
No, the Switch's Wifi is objectively awful. Go check out ifixit's teardown and marvel at the mostly unbroken sheet of metal covering all of the components inside the Switch, including the wifi antenna.
Again, I used the Switch's Wifi all the time and I never had a problem on top of me only hearing a few people here griped about disconnects.
Is it in a place where you could cut a hole in the metal cover?

Yup. It fucking boggles the mind how the thing ever made it out of the R&D lab as far as it's wifi goes. I have to manually reconnect every time i turn on the damn thing... and that only works 1/4 of the time. The other 3/4 of the time i have to remove it from the doc to connect as the dock blocks the signal. Worst Wifi experience i've ever had with a device.
And yet I'm having to play docked to my phone because my broadband is down, I don't even get a 3g data signal in my house, and I have almost no problems.
wow you can't really be proud of beating a team 4vs3
Today was a bad day, had tons of 2vs4 and 3vs4 (discos on my team obviously) and many losses in a row. It's infuriating.

You can swap to salmon run now. xD

In Splatoon 1 I recall people were down on Rollers. I'm still only like level 5, but I feel I can help most with them. Are they a viable tool?
When I first started it was like I was first or second place with the starting gun and always winning. Now it seems my team loses a fair bit and my score isn't so hot.

...If your phone is right next to the Switch you're not gonna have any problems. Also fyi the connection will be stronger if you point the screen toward it.

That's good at least.
If you're putting ink on the ground with them, yes. They aren't great at battle but they are great at covering big areas quickly.
Hit the screenshot limit on my system, so I had to delete a few pics.
I don't have a Micro SD card for it yet, though, so...a sale would be nice on some 64gb cards
I'm not sure how Difficulty on Salmon Run works, tbh. Nor am I sure about how scoring works. It's gotten AWFULLY tough at Go-Getter, though.

I had a run up until Overachiever (comes after Go-Getter I think) - then shortly before I made it to the next level I wiped a ton of times in a row and was thrown back 2 ranks to part-timer
Overachiever is no joke... so is Go -Getter with a bad team. The Matchmaking is great though, you can team up with friends and fill the other spots with random people.
How do you change the router QoS?

Problem is, you won't level up if anyone on your team is a lower rank then you, but you will ranked down if you wipe. It's kind of unfair.

I didn't rank down when I wiped with my friends who were two ranks lower than I though... And we wiped a ton when they started out.
It was actually funny because I got paid 160% even though we wiped all the time
it's awful. i wouldn't mind half points or something but not being able to get anything for doing well and still getting punished for getting rekt sucks

Did it actually level down for any of you when that was the case, or do you assume that... as I said - never happened to me.
I ranked down by two level playing in the Gaf room and when I finally won, I got no points since someone was under-leveled. I was pissed.

On my router (netgear) it was in the advanced LAN section but I'm sure each type is different.
The full steps of what I did are:
1. Set MTU to 1500
2. Set 5 GHz to highest channel
3. Set QoS with > 1 MB/s rate and the switch prioritized
4. Set DNS to google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)
I'm pretty sure it was the QoS which solved the issue.
yeah dude i was salmon running with a friend and ranked down when we got wiped
But when my broadband is working I can play handheld on the wifi upstairs with the router downstairs without problems too. Are people only having problems with wifi while docked? I have my dock on a wired connection.

It depends on a number of issues.
I just took the easy way and installed a PowerPoint adapter into the bedroom. Good Wifi signal and Ethernet connection if I play on the dock.
Thank you guy who disconnected.

Sure it was the same people you wiped with? Odd that it doesn't seem to happen to me. Maybe I glitched out of ranking down
many many times
Could be because my friends were the lowest rank, and then it won't rank you down if you wipe with them... or more than two ranks under your rank or something like that.
Same here. I never see Japanese players in Splatoon 2.
it seems to be doing some kind of ping based matchmaking and stretching your last 50 wins/losses really far in either direction to make lobbies now
instead of just assuming everyone has a bad connection and matching you based on your weekly formula of winrate * 10 * matches since sunday
which would completely save you from having to play with disconnectors or bad players and get you good matches against and with competent players after like monday for the whole week
really miss the old system, im just bobbing back and forth on 66+ % winrate, lose like 5 in a row because it gives me 3 braindead people against 4 players of average to low skill and then when i lose enough it puts me in middling lobbies until i win a bunch again.

Thought Japan copy was region locked so that they play on separate servers. So unless they have a copy of the game from another region that's likely why we're seeing so few.

You have a launch day switch?
Just spent my lunch hour in Salmon Run and made only 8000 coins...
I don't say this often, because I am a distinctly average Splatoon player, but I was carrying those teams.
Everything fell apart when I get the Charger and all three of these geniuses decide to run off after a single sniper boss whilst I deal with the three other bosses swarming the basket.
Top form, guys.

It prefers local people to international people because it's peer 2 peer (no dedicated servers) - so if you get matched with japanese people, the chance of sability problems is higher.
A lot of people complained about connectivity problems in splatoon 1 so I guess it was easier to go (mainly) local. Which is good (at least it's good that the game supports peer 2 peer). They can still get dedicated servers up and running - but in a few years these could be shut down (because they cost money and stuff), and then you can't play anymore at all I guess?
But yeah would be nice if we got dedicated servers. (once we start paying [a little] for online...)
