There is such a disdain for low level players from some of you I swear you would rather people quit out of frustration and a feeling of hopelessness than get better if they get to do so in a way that is fun and relatively painless

XP caps for comp, deletion of low level tourneys, suggesting div 5 to TEN simply cannot get better without having the floor wiped with them by top level players like I’m curious atp if your takes can get worse

The phenomena wherein people climb a ladder and kick it down behind them is so genuinely bizarre to me how about you do something to help the community become stronger instead of dumping on weaker players holy heck

the take ive had for the longest time is that there are a lot of high level splatoon players who dont care about being good, they care about people THINKING they're good. they'll do anything to prevent their spotlight from being stolen and ensuring nobody ruins the facade.

and now its all gotten to a point where its the culture. gatekeep your way through the ranks to be the best at a game that has nobody cares about and nobody even knows your name because you use aliases and alts to hide the shame of losing and only show off your successes. its all bark and no bite

I think this explains why people fight tooth and nail to get into plus server and then everyone complains that it’s dead. It’s about the prestige of being in there and seeming like a good player more than it’s ever been about the level of practice it can afford you for a lot of players
