So even though the game has been out over three years and getting a champ or onyx ranks is possibly the easiest it’s ever been, there are still countless players out there exploiting the ranking system by team killing and suiciding in their qual games so as to create a “smurf” account. They do this at the expense and enjoyment of people like me who just want to play the game and win. Even if you set the search preference on “Balanced” or “Focused” you will still get these unranked people in your matches, so it’s almost unavoidable no matter what you do. Every day people are quitting this game because of these reasons, and I really don’t blame them because who wants to play a match where your constantly being shot at by a teammate when you pick up a power weapon or being team naded on purpose because the game only recognizes betrayals when a teammate does all the damage?
I already know that there’s a ban system in place for grieving and what not, but my point is that the people who are doing the worst of it are not being banned. They easily bypass the system by just betraying a person twice, committing suicide twice, and then harassing teammates by team shooting, power weapon hogging and wasting ammo, and purposely dying from the enemy. The only people I’ve heard of who actually get banned are the ones who accidentally fall off the map or team kill with rockets or nades by mistake.
I hate to beat the dead horse by being the millionth person to complain about this, but the fact is it’s still going on, it’s ruining the game, and I have yet to see any real solution proposed to fight the problem.
How about an automatic kick if you team kill someone with a power weapon?
How about a system that can recognize how much damage your inflicting on your team?
How about reintroducing the old betrayal system where if it is your nade or bullet who kills the teammate, you are responsible for his/her death?
I like your idea of tracking the damage inflicted on teammates.
The people who do this are really sad. They themselves are usually good players who want to carry their friends into ranks they don’t deserve. Rarely do you find a game these days where there are no alts; it is pathetic.
Definitely still a thing.
I also had a few FFA matches where I did very poorly. Fully expected them to be smurfs in the post-game lobby, but they were just onyx that I got matched up with due to lack of players.

yeah man, if they can track how much damage you inflict on the enemy, they can definitely track how much damage you inflict on your own team. It would be a good way to track how poorly you’re aiming and how many wreckless nade throws you make, and of course if there is an excessive amount of team damage inflicted by one teammate, that could be used as hard evidence for grieving and such. People always rage message me in some games where I get a low kill count while not even paying attention to how much damage, accuracy, and assists I have. Not surprising, my assist count, accuracy, and damage is almost always higher than people who care only about K/D and they infest the lobbies with their toxicity and ignorance of the fact that without supportive style players like me, they’d get barely any kills at all. OH well.

ya that happens to me in H3 FFA in MCC. This dude was in our game three matches in a row when I was only a lvl 2 or 3 and he was a freakin 44. Everyone else in the games were only lvl 10 and below, so I’m sittin’ there wondering how the game is seriously gonna put someone that high of a level in the same game as us. It’s almost as if smurf accounts aren’t even necessary anymore because unbalanced matches like that are just becoming common.

I like some of the ideas… I’m not a big fan of the booting set up in H5 as it is… For example… I was playing a game of Breakout when one of our teammates killed me on the 1st round. The next round he started shooting me so I decided to take him out. That only made him more determined to focus attention on me… I couldn’t avoid him at all on the 3rd round and had no choice but to defend myself and I ended up getting booted from the match by HIM. I mean WTH?
I like the idea of penalizing a player based off their trackable stats. I mean I’m no saint and alot of my team kills are accidents (mostly with vehicles) but it would be kinda nice to have the system track team kills like they do our current stats. If you have a teammate that’s just being a jerk you can look up his gamercard to see if he ALWAYS plays like THAT. And if he does you can ban him from being a player you get matched up with. This doesn’t work if he creates new accounts but it is a better way of controlling things I think.
I also think the whole “friendly fire” thing is kinda pointless in the game anyways. They have plenty of game variants in H5 that do no damage to teammates. Why can’t they have this for all game types. It just doesn’t make sense
Yes it definitely still a thing and its really annoying how people do this and there should be a tracking system to detect that
“hree years and getting a champ or onyx ranks is possibly the easiest it’s ever been”
wtf dude u are telling absolute -Yoink- ranking up is exactly the same as it was in 2017 and I can say dat since the implementation of ts2 its way more difficult than before to ranking up
check every season stats on halo tracker and I can swear u dat the numbers are the same scince this summer season for example slayer is always at 400k.thats a fact u can’t say that it’s more easy to rank up
