This is a stupid post but before anyone starts bashing or saying “GET GUD”, things that aren’t really helpful please listen to my ramblings:

- I started playing Splatoon 2 in the EU version, and reached into level 42 with 3 splatfests with power levers around 1700, 1800 and 1900 with analog sticks.

- Then I got the Japanese version, because I was there for a time to play the Japanese splatfests and changed to motion controls.

First splatfest the Hello Kitty vs My Melody with a power level around 2000. After that everything came down. The second splatfest I was always in the 1600 power level and took an eternity to get into Queen with around 05-45. After that I didn’t played the last one from the 3 in a row regarding the Sanrio.

From then my skill kind of gone to the case of not even being able to win Turf War Games in a row in the last 3 weeks. Best I was able to get was 25-25 in all matches, being the losses always more that the wins. I was used to be the 2nd to 1st in Kills and Turf Inked to the 3rd and dead last most of the time, and when in 2nd and 1st normally I’m the one with less kills and more deaths.

This current splatfest I taken also a lot of time to get into queen and the best I was able to reach was 2011 after the 7 matches that calculates the starting power level. After that was always going down to the 1800 were I finished, with a 21-29 on Squid Team.

I also note that in terms of ranked, from S0 and A on SZ and TC respectively I dropped to A and B .

Same thing with Salmon Run, I was normally in the Profreshional 200 and now I can’t increase from the 140s.

Is really my skill diminishing? Did I had reached my limits in this game? It’s really fault of my age (30s)?

I said in another post that winning and losing doesn’t matter because I enjoy playing this game, I have fun playing but currently I don’t see it as fun. Even making a stop of 2 to 3 weeks doesn’t improve when I return my skill (I know that after taking a stop it takes to get used to it, but as soon I start getting used it starts the same thing again).

I just wanted to vent a little, because it looks like I really hit the limits. I don’t expect to be the best, being in the 100s best per splatfest. I just want to have fun playing and seeing me improving but the statistics doesn’t show that.

What kind of advice my Splatoon comrades can give?

Thank you for the time taken to read this long post plus I’m sorry for my English, since it’s not my first language.
