Why do i consistently get horrible players on my team? My win/loss is horrible due to this. I swear that at least 75% of the time I get matched up against full teams with positive k/ds, and I get stuck with people who have horrible stats. Just here to complain!! I seriously cant win a game of Dominion if I play alone. My entire team usually camps one base, and waits for the resupply. Hardly anyone puts forth any effort to cap a base… aside from the opposing team who always seem to be at Pro MLG dominion status. Not even mentioning that most of the top ranked people from halotracker get together and stack their team to play against randoms
I really don’t think someone sits there and goes, “Hmm…Let me find the worst possible people and put them on ILLMatiiQ’s team!”
TrueSkill at work. It knows MORE than you do.

no, they do that to me and dominion

haha. No i don’t seriously think that’s what happens… but if you only knew my pain. I used to not care. I just wanted to stat -Yoink!- and get as many kills as possible, but now i just want to win.
the halo tracker thing me happened to me once. it was on the map map exile jeesh.
the funny thing is that they are the same as all try hards. spaming of both DMR and active camo.

See? Their focus is elsewhere OP! 
Part of how trueskill works. If you’re good playing in casual playlists like BTB, then since there aren’t a whole lot of other good people to match you against, instead they balance you out by putting bad players on your team.
That also happened to me on Halo 3’s Ranked Playlists. Really.
Just find some good friends and join as a team. Dream Team.

This is honestly how I feel sometimes. Good people get bad people on their team to make it a fair fight. Though a lot times they happen sink your team into oblivion. You can only carry so much.
Well is anyone here looking for some people to play dominion with? I am trying to improve my rank on halotracker. I can’t do that unless i win games, and i can’t win games by myself. Dominion games aren’t hard to hold down. Just hold B and your base spawn and spawn kill the opposing team at their base spawn. Holding B gives you control over the banshee as well as elevation over A and C. Four people with a coordinated effort should be enough. I think it would be effective to have at least two people on each base holding it down. One assignment makes things simple for everyone.
I would post a new topic about it now, but im actually suspended from communications until the 10th. haha I can still play though.
In a nutshell, it means you’ve been doing so damn well the in-game algorithms think you’re awesome enough to carry the entire team to victory.
When this happens I usually rejoice because I take it as a sign of my awesomeness right before I die horrible deaths while my teammates attempt to discover every soft kill zone on the map.

Yeah this happens to me too. Me and a friend were playing BTB Slayer and we were matched up with a full 8 man squad of LvL 130’s. Now I can see that match choice if my team had been all partied up together but that wasnt the case. Nobody had a mic and the only partied memebers of my team were a lvl 40 and his guest.
we were spawn camped on exhile with a tank and gauss hog. Final score was 1000 to 160. Worst game I was ever a part of
Thanks trueskill
Still better than getting paired up with people that constantly jumped off the map on purpose on reach.
Its happen since Reach High EXP + Random = leader of noobs team… When happened in Halo3 ranked list its because connection (or a bad day), its a online shooter and when net doesnt work well Halo can be very hard…
Happens to me all the time too…
It’s like imma 50 gettin lvl 25s on my team, this would never happen in h3…
No trueskill in h4

Oh it did. Halo 3 is not what everyone on here makes it out to be.

This seems to happen all the time to me. Drives me crazy when I go like pos 18 and we lose because everyone else goes negative double digits on my team. Hell, the last game I played last night was like that. Swat on Haven. I had 24 kills and something like 10 deaths. Everyone else on my team went negative and we barely lost.

Seriously. I’m sick of people saying this. Halo 3 used trueskill the same as Halo 4. Half the people that wanted CSR in game think it would’ve changed the way players are matched. And Halo 3 has apparently just entered the golden age of nostalgia or something and people have apparently forgotten all of the many, many problems with it.
