@Kinan:
Your experience in the B Rank is very similar to my experience in the B Rank. I will clear out the entire other team, but then my teammates will just stand there do nothing. It is very frustrating!
Finally got the soundtrack and art book. The art book is awesome! Over 300 pages and has everything you could hope for. It's full of sketches, 2D and 3D art, graffiti, stages, all the weapons and gear, story board and comics. Obviously there ain't art of Splatfest themes that arrived after the book was released but the first few shirts are included. I also love how the soundtrack's song list is in English.
It's its, not it's.

@Kinan: It goes without saying that a lot of what you need when progressing through the ranks is luck. I do remember my time in the B ranks not being pleasant either (with some good times mind you). That doesn't mean that everyone out there is a squidiot though... There are people out there with a similar ranking that are just as competent as you are, if not moreso, who legitimately have the same aim as you.
For me, when I was a B ranker, it was just a matter of finding them and trying my best to work with them but unfortunately if they stick around, they may end up turning from awesome allies to rather annoying enemies. Ranked in general requires an awful lot of patience (which I normally don't have...) and well-placed determination if you're aiming for the top...
...I haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking of testing out Youtube's streaming with one of my games before X hits. Chances are it'll be Splatoon...anyways if it happens I would like to do a squad Ranked Battle. No clue how long I'll play...we'll see.
EDIT: Actually, thinking of doing it tonight...watching a movie right now, though. But yeah hoping some of you don't mind watching just to see how it's working for you.
@Late, that sounds amazing. I hope you can feel my mixture of jealousy and admiration from across the Internet.
@Kinan, hello and sympathies from B-rank purgatory. I live here, too.
Though I've been playing since launch, I've never seriously payed much attention to my rank; the completionist in me mostly focuses on upgrading gear. Lately, I'm focusing a bit more on rank. Gonna try sticking only to my best modes — Tower Control and Rainmaker — to see if that helps me get out of the B void. I tend to win most Tower Control matches and go about 50/50 in Rainmaker, but I get slaughtered in Splat Zones, especially when I play with mostly Japanese players during the evening hours.
In my experience Splat Zone is the hardest mode to win with some consistency, in particular in the lower ranks. I'm also trying to fight my way back to A rank but it's a long hard slog

As a charger user I find Splat Zones to be the easiest to win. It's pretty straightforward and once my team control the zone(s) I can snipe from a safe point.
The skatepark and Moray Towers are a little more frantic though.
For me it depends more on the players on both teams (including myself, on some days you're just not in good shape), I don't find any of the three modes easier or harder by themselves (maybe in combination with specific maps though).
But Splat Zone is definitely the less stressful mode, because you don't have to chase a RM or Tower all over the map.
Rain Maker on the other hand is the tactically most demanding mode, judging from tactical mistakes made by other players or myself.
Timezones confuse me...lol
It's almost 9pm here, when I do start it'll only be for an hour or two. If you can't play it's fine then, I'm mainly just wanting to see how well the stream is.
