343, STOP PAIRING ME AGAINST HIGHER RANKS!!!!

In the first few weeks of halo 4 matchmaking I was being paired with good teams, equal in ranks both sides and it was always a decent game to play. Now I notice that when I go into matchmaking I’m being paired with low ranked people like SR 12, 24, 52, and 60’s while being paired against teams of SR 120 and up and I’m only SR 100 right now. 343, fix this because it is -Yoink!- me off always being on the losing team each and every game I enter into just because you guys can’t -Yoinking!- deal with this properly! Match us players according to skill and rank rather than just putting us higher ranked -Yoinks!-. This matchmaking is completely unbalanced!!! FIX THE DAMN THING!!!

Um… Why? Ranks mean nothing.

SR are ranks based on time played… Not skill.

Because I keep being paired against higher ranks which normally means they have better skill, normally, not always but each time I am paired against higher ranks I’m always placed in a stupid team who are nothing but lower ranks than me and they are all -Yoinks!- who can’t play for -Yoink-, while I’m against a team who is completely higher ranked than me and have better skill. There is no balance in this stupid matchmaking system.

Might want to change the title appropriately then.

Ranks are indicative of time played, not skill. I’m an SR-75 and my reflexes and dexterity are terrible.

As far as I am aware, Microsoft requires all Matchmaking-enabled games to use their TrueSkill ranking system to match players of a similar skill level. The system is used even when the TrueSkill ranks are not displayed. However, it seems that Halo 4 has quite a few factors involved that can skew matches: Join-in-Progress, for example, can often lead to players winning or losing matches regardless of their own skill, which dilutes TrueSkill’s efficacy (since TS is mostly based on win/loss ratio, and on the TS of any opponents you defeat).

SR =/= Skill
SR == Time played

Looking at your stats makes me wonder… I think it looks very well balanced :slight_smile: You have more wins than losses and in the last 30 games you certainly wins more then you loose.

If you are so keen to win get a own team. In random match making this kind of unbalanced matches will always happens.
