This is happening to me and im not even in x rank im just in A+ wtf how do i fix this?

I'm new to the game and I got the expansion pass too but whenever I join a battle it just says not enough players so now I'm stuck on level 1 and not only that the only things I can do are play side order and the story's campaign BUT SPLATOON 2 WORKS And evrytime i reset my data i doesn't even let me transfer my splatoon 2 data. 😞

you have such a nice voice

It’s said that having good air circulation helps out the switch.

Wii U is goated

I love sniffing bombs

I remember splatoon 1 having crazy powerful weapons but I forgot about stuff like the disruptor lol, I’m really thankful to see this gameplay :-) thank you for giving this game a nice sendoff

I finally got to level 50

some of the ONLY bomb sniffer footage online, heres hoping we get a max qr stream soon

Wait, so the fatal matchmaking problem is that not enough people are in X-rank? That's a YOU problem.

still can't get over how Glorious the handles on explosher are

i'm suddenly filled with a desire to watch someone play every salmon run rotation.... i wonder where to find a streamer like that...?!

All the Splatlings deal the same amount of base damage per hit in Salmon Run Next Wave: 35 HP. The Heavy Edit Splatling fires 15 times per second when partially charged and 20 times per second when fully charged, which is why the total damage is 525 HP per second and 700 HP per second, respectively, in Salmon Run Next Wave. That was suprising to me when I found out since it differs slightly in other modes where the Heavy Edit Splatling deals the least base damage (= 26 HP) per hit.

the same thing is happening to me, which is a shame because mine usually takes up to 3 minutes before the message.

I bought Splatoon 3 a few months ago and just started playing it the last few weeks and oh my gosh... the moment I hit S+0 it's been hell. I've been on a losing streak and rarely any wins and it's so frustrating. I want to play my favorite modes, but I kept getting matched with either bad players or against pro-skill level players that streamroll and it's becoming so unfun. I'm already at -2999 in my points and it sucks. T_T Doing Open gives you 8 points for winning, but 5 points for losing. Seriously, the amount of loses I had with both Series and Open it makes me despises 3. I went back to 2 a few days ago and I have 50/50 matches with wins and losses and felt more manageable and fun. Though I did do Turf Wars. I really hope Nintendo fixes the issues with this game, because I don't think I want to come back even though I want to unlock all weapons and get the perfect abilities for my gear. It hurts so much.

this is super informative! your voice is also very nice and soothing to listen to!

Casual Turf War player here, hopefully I'm not the only one that is annoyed by the fact players spend more time waiting for matches to start than actually playing the match, it ticks me off more when a Turf War match lasts only 30 seconds because someone disconnected within the first minute.

They need to have the same X rank system from splatoon 2. X powers go too low and too high and wins/losses affect the score too much. It's why I avoid the mode entirely.

X rank is no longer battle against the best of the best In both splatoon 1 & 2 in order to get into the highest ranks you have to consistently win matches and prove your right to fight pros That incentive isn’t their in 3 Just S-> S+ and boom you can fight the supposedly best of best players And this easy of getting into high ranks is why matchmaking can feel steamrolling when it shouldn’t be

Splatoon 3 matchmaking has recently within the last few seasons has been either steamrolling matches, or getting steamrolled matches Ive been between A+ and X and have experience this across all these ranks And im generally ok when not everyone is not on the exact skill lvl ( referencing splatoon 1 matchmaking whete u could have A and S players on the same teams) But even in 1 matches weren’t so quick to end and vice versa The whole system needs to be revamped imo bc matchmaking along with the maps are what is hurting this game by far the most

Man, this is just salmon run asmr, and I love it.

Cons: shoots longer on a partial charge for some reason...? Pros: hehe full charge go brrr

Toadette is one specific mtf Toad who just wanted to be extra cute

I've been absolutely having this issue in sr more and more lately. Like some rotations I've only been able to get in three games in an hour. Especially harder maps. It's ridiculous.

The obvious answer is that no one is playing x rank clam blitz except for you

I just hope they rework matchmaking so that you can match with people below/above your skill threshold

I am having trouble finding matches even at 2160

Another reason Why I gave up going for X ranks. The matchmaking is absolutely bad and nintendo has not make proper adjustments to splatoon 3 netcode.

I had a game of anarchy open with some friends and we gained plus .1 points three games in a row, and they weren’t even complete wipeout wins. Then we lost 50 when we lost by 2 points

On the S+9 skip. It was only for the elite, and even then it was a gamble Really pissed cause I was playing for X 9-1 S+6 -> S+7

i just want to comment so this video bumps up - opal

whenever this happens to me, a simple restart fixes it for me

This happened to me... Splatzones is my best mode (I tend to be around 1800 or 1900 in X... and I was in X rank in splatoon 2 for zones so I've ranked down a bit in skill maybe) but I absolutely biffed my 5 placement matches. I was put in 1350 and getting a match was so rare I practically gave up for the rest of the season.

10:10 Playing at odd hours. Try West Coast late. Forget trying to find a Clam match. Forget trying to play most X rank matches because a lot of people aren't online in your rank threshold. In addition to the weapon balancing the game tries to do. So many factors clash and it freaking sucks. You have to play at a prime time i order to actually get thrown into matches. At least in Splatoon 2 every X player was thrown into a pool for the most part. I used to play with Japanese players because I would play late and for them it would be afternoon. And that was a blast. I got steamrolled at points sure, but I was at least playing the game I paid for and not stuck in a queue It sucks because if I keep getting the "not enough players" message I just stop playing altogether for a bit. I WANT to play, but the game is literally not letting me. Splat2 i would play for hours because it let me

Those greedy team money players shouldn't have won

In my experience you can't find ranked matches in S2, at least in my low X rank experience

Wanna know what’s bad, me and my friend got this message doing Tri-colour, 3 times in a row… During a SPLATFEST

The worst part about this is the fact that you even see this message in TURF WAR. Turf feels like it has the bare minimum in terms of matchmaking and you still run into this message sometimes.

Same thing happened to me :( Lost my first 4 calculation battles of Splat Zones and was never matched with anyone again

thats my streamer!

me actually getting into a match: *A COMMUNICATION ERROR HAS OCCURRED*

I think that splitting the queues between Series, X, and Open was the biggest mistake. IMO, Series should be abolished and replaced with X's format as the default. It doesn't make sense that players have to unlock a proper rating system, Series is such a bad joke it shouldn't exist. Then I would rebrand Open as Unranked. Two queues instead of three, and matchmaking based on power rather than unlock requirements might properly work.

The matchmaking is insane in Splatoon 3. I played ranked Splatoon 1 and 2 last night out of interest and was getting into lobbies significantly faster than even Challenge mode matches in Splatoon 3 on a new season drop.

People under 1900 should NEVER match people above 1900. However. The problem is, we have people who are in X that don’t belong in X. This results in people not matching their skill level because their skill level is in a different rank. A player can be A+ Power 1300, while another is X Power 1345, and another player is S Power 1413 These players should all be matched because they’re the same skill. But, because their ranks are different, A+, S, and X, the game will not match them. There’s no world where two players with the same skill rating should be a different rank.

The most depressing thing about it for me is that I know the 2 modes I tanked down to super low rating I can't even really do anything but wait for the next season to try again. D:

I feel like the whole Splatoon community has just agreed that Clam Blitz sucks ass-

TLDR: get good or no x battle for the rest of the season

The x rank matchmaking requires the weapon on each team to be more or less the same. So if you are playing a charger, there HAS to be a charger or maybe a tri stringer on the other. It could be that the people playing have not been using chargers in clam blitz because it might not be the best weapon for the mode, but they could have been more effective in splat zones
