I’ve played a good handful of matches tonight and nearly every single one got owned so damn hard it was ridiculous. I’m plat 5 in slayer and diamond 2 in arena but keep on getting placed against diamonds and onyx level players… Who then proceed to annihilate my team.
So my question is… Why… Why am I constantly getting matched with those who are obviously better than not just me but my entire team?
The large skill gap in matchmaking is most likely due to the extremely low population of the game. 343 had to expand the range of ranks that you can match with in order for people to not have long search times. Word on the street is the high onyx/champ players can struggle to find any games at all depending on the time of the day and playlist. They have to tell there other high rank friends to search at the same time.

It can’t honestly be that bad already?! Although saying that, if I go on at about 8am GMT I can’t even find a game.
That would explain how the skill levels vary so much and why I find myself only on warzone these days

I mean that is basically par for the course for every halo game that 343i has released thus far so I wouldn’t be all that surprised.

Lowest selling game in the series might give you a hint. 343 just cant make a HALO game. Its too modern when it was fine from the beginning.
The population is pretty rough. I’ve had nights where I’ll end up in games with the same people over and over and over again via matchmaking. I’ve never seen that in any other halo before.
