@Kinan: I completely know where you're coming from. Even winning wasn't brining me much joy because I had lost so much in the run up to my S triumph. They have Turf Wars for Unranked matches but I really wish they had other modes in Unranked (maybe you shouldn't be able to level up or down in a squad, it would be more for fun) because sometimes I would like to play the other modes just for fun. Actually, that's why I wanted to be ranked S so I can play in Squad battles without having to worry and always having to use my best gear etc. It's supposed to be fun after all and it hasn't been fun for a few weeks now

@Jazzer94: Depending on your weapon that may or may not be useful. One of my problems is with people who will take Charger weapons in Rainmaker and tower defense, pick a spot deep in our zone and rack up kills. That's great and all but unless you hit every hot eventually we'll lose because the rest of the team is playing offensive but are a man short essentially. You have to know your role

@wisdomsprince: I've learned I need to try and stop worrying about my rank. Maybe you have much less luck than me or something, but after dropping out of S and getting right back in with 4 straight wins, I realized that if rng kicks you down too far you're gonna start carrying games again, and it's actually been more fun than some of the current ranked matches I've played. dc's are definitely the worst though; that's just lame. It's too bad it's unavoidable.
That being said I totally agree they should have unranked ranked modes; turf wars isn't very interesting to me unless I'm trying out a new weapon.
@Kinan If you've reached your ranked cap, isn't that a good thing since you're vs'ing people of your skill level anyways, making the match not easy but not excessively difficult either?
Is the problem you two are having is that you're losing too much compared to how much you win, and that ruins the experience?
I would have never guessed Weezing was so useful until I played a HeartGold Nuzlocke! My YouTube Channel! Video game related, of course! My Pushmo Levels

@wisdomsprince: As far as I know and from what the developers have stated, rather than wins or loses, the matchmaking focusses on your playing style, maybe even your weapon choices and matches you with players who play similar to you.
Nintendo Dream starts off by asking how matchmaking works. Amano mentions that rather than focusing on levels, the game pairs players with similar playstyles in Turf War. Levels are more of “an indicator for how long the person has played the game.”
Since Splatoon matches users together based on how they play, Amano notes that those who tend to splat enemies are likely to play together. Likewise, those who concentrate on painting rather than splatting are more likely to get paired up.

That's exactly my experience, only I already realized this back when I lost my B- (or B) rank three times in a row.
But when you lose your rank, you usually are one of the best players in the following matches. So you can rank up again pretty quickly if you don't get too frustrated.
At some point I just accepted it as something normal in the natural flow of the game and of things in general. After all, life goes up and down, too.

Playing style match is turf war-only AFAIK. Ranked battles are rank matched.
(Personally, I think some people try way too hard to find way patterns to justify losses in Ranked Battles. Just enjoy the game at whatever rank you're at.)
