To be a bit naive, my goal rn is I want to climb the mountain and be up there as a top player
A few years ago when I started I used to see events like li and go "oh, I'll play in this once in get banned :<" but now I do feel like I have a solid grasp on what it would take and the time needed

The least talked about skill for content creation that's cheapest to work on is oration, public speaking, and improvisation.
If you can be engaging while communicating effectively and clearly, it gets you a LONG way especially in live platforms (streaming/commentary)

I don't really get the argument for all modes? Sure there is variety for players/viewers, but the other modes are so turbulent and snowball a ton. The fundamental skills all carry over anyways.
We should just stick to playing Air Ride only

it's weird how you can get a vibe for how good a player is based solely on their camera #compsplatoon

I know it'd be a lot of work but maybe we could get more detailed recaps of majors when they happen? Esp w the SQ major coming up it'd be cool to see a recap of who won, what interesting comps were picked and maybe even a detailed into specific games, idk tho.

the highlight of yesterday for me was beating a less experienced team, seeing they had a stream, then popping into their twitch chat to give advice (I asked b4 hand if it was okie dw)
what comes around goes around as they said, I would have killed to have resources thrown at me when I was new

Beyond the typical discourse (scrimming up/down, 8s/plus stuff, etc.), people should try sharing their knowledge in other ways.
Try coaching a team. Write a guide. Make videos about your weapon. Stream VOD reviews. There are a lot of non-gameplay ways to uplift other players.

Do you think there's gatekeeping in splatoon? If so, how could it be changed or fixed to help the next generation of players? Is solo queue the best option for becoming the greatest?

Scrim down. Help other people. Give other people good practice. Why should people help you out if you don’t do it in return?
