I play one -Yoinking!- game of HCS and I’m already done with Halo for the night and likely for a while…
I’m just a piss ant gold 3, solo queueing on focused matchmaking into HCS, and I go against a team of four platinums who are teamed up (checked their friend list) and two of them are smurfs?! One teammate insta quits, and another teammate quits about halfway through.
Quite the game you’ve put together here, 343. Do you want people to enjoy playing your game or not?
Ranked play needs to have a barrier level requirement or else you will NEVER officially get a fix for the ridiculous amount of smurfing going on. You’ve talked about fixing smurfs for how long now? My experience has shown that nothing has been done about it.
First game of the night, too. Incredible. What’s really pathetic, is that this has become a normal occurrence for this game.
