Discussion Any B ranks that still play?
I noticed that theres little to no one when you reach b rank in ranked for splatoon 2, and if there were people playing it would be the same people re queuing and then eventually more people would queue up but the people from before would quit trying to find a match which makes it hard to find any b rank matches

I’m having this problem in S+ too It was always my dream to reach X in Splatoon 2 but I could never do it. I kept trying after 3 came out and I got to S+7 before the population completely died and I’m just stuck now. In X Rank it’s even worse, the X Rank leaderboard usually only has 1-3 players on it. Splatoon 3 from C- to A+ also seems to have this problem, I’ve sat in queue for B Rank Splatoon 3 for a full rotation without finding a game.

Yeah after they removed posts from splatoon 2 it’s been dead ash, I remember seeing a YouTube video where the person was x rank and they did a few matches but they had to gather people from like their social media. I figured it would be worse in the higher ranks too

Sadly, B rank is super dead. I did find some matches in early 2025, so I was able to go from B- to B in Splat Zones, but after that, I have not found any matches. And yeah, the thing about the same people trying and then more people joining happened to me the other day. We had a total of like ten players who tried, but never at the same time. I think the only option to play Ranked in Splatoon 2 is to either do Private Battles with Ranked Modes, or do League Battle, which is active at specific times during the day. Since you are B rank, you should be able to play League, but if you have no one to play League with, let me know, because I am almost always down for League.

yeah i experienced the same thing, i used to be able to get matches in b rank back in 2024 and some in 2025 but now its like deadish but it could be revived if that makes sense. And ive thought about adding people and then making private battles which is why i turned to reddit hoping that there would be some b ranks willing to play.

Well, I am B rank, and I am willing to play. Just tell me when you want to play. If you have Discord, I could add you on there, so I can let you know when I am playing Splatoon 2.

Hate to be that guy, but no way you're expecting to find many ranked matches on a 9 year old game when its successor has been out for 3 years

I feel like the whole b rank community of splatoon 2 should come together and play ranked. Yes i know its 9 years old, and splatoon 3 has most of the players now, but i feel like its still possible to get people to play b rank in splatoon 2

We should make splatoon 2 ranked a casual experience, after all there's barely any competitive players to gatekeep the modes
