I’ll try and keep this short but was anyone else having terrible matchmaking during the splatfest outside of the normal network stuff? In short me and my friend tried to playing together (team money) and essentially were put on a 20 loss streak that only broke when we played separately. We aren’t mlg pro but we also aren’t bad at splatoon but it seemed like when we tried to play together we’d be put against players who were much better then us, side note we never ran into a single team fame. And how come the tri battle was only full off team money even tho team love was leading by half time? Idk between the networking issues and being punished for playing with my friends it’s killing my enjoyment of the game.

    I don’t own Splatoon 3, but I had comparable experiences of the Splatfest matchmaking feeling much less balanced than normal matchmaking in Splatoon 1 and 2. Maybe it’s something to do with the team-based matchmaking overriding any skill-based matchmaking or something to that effect, but whatever it is, I’m confident that this effect’s real, and has been around since the start.
